Most of us are willing to learn from our mistakes. I would never argue with my Chemistry teacher when she told me to uncork my generator with the opening facing away from me. Although I did forget one time and almost got knocked off my feet. I learned that lesson the hard way. I know the...

I have this need to fix broken things. But not everything can be fixed so I'm going away now.

I guess that's why I don't buy Nikes. The price inflation is similar to what we see with Coffee and Phones. If Starbucks and Apple can charge stupid prices for their products, then so can other companies. As long as the ignorant think these products are "cool" they continue to have a market...

And the rest is just nonsense so why are we here?

Yes. If the thread is more than a dozen posts, no one will read the entire thread and so the OP won't get an answer. It is better to start a new thread and include a link.

Manufactures use China and other Asian countries to make their production cost as low as possible so as to maximize their profits. They do not pass on the cost savings from slave labor (which some use) to the consumer. If it is cheaper to manufacture in Thailand because the tariffs are...

Thank you very much for the lecture. Somehow I knew it was coming and you didn't disappoint me. And some people simply cannot be helped.

We can't override the blocking.

Absolutely. That is the world the snowflakes live in. You cannot correct them without hurting their feelings so no one learns anything. Everyone wins the first place trophy. You and I went to school in a different era. Correcting one student publicly meant that the rest of the class also...

I guess you missed the part about MVF which is what David is using.

However, he is developing an app he intends to be used by others so he is assuming the responsibility of a developer. Welcome to AWF. We love it when new members are judgmental and give us lectures. You'll fit right in.

I really don't understand why you do not care about this. This shouldn't be a political issue. You claim to be part of the legal system. Don't you believe laws should be followed? A country that imposes laws but enforces them selectively is no better than a banana republic. If you don't...

Unfortunately, porn is in the eye of the beholder. I would like to see all "porn" behind a paywall to slow down the child access. That won't stop determined children especially those with access to credit cards and parents who don't check the charges. Although porn sites probably have...

The UK is sinking fast. I am worried about you. You're children are probably indoctrinated the way ours have been to think that "woke" is right and good and are not bothered by the oppressive regulations. We have risen up. We are taking back our schools but it will be more than a generation...

When I was a kid, the big thing on a weekend was to go to the demolition derby with our Dad. In that event, actual people were driving around the track in old cars and bumping into each other to knock the other guy out of action. The last car that was mobile, won. Bumper cars were also...

@Mark_ and @DakotaRidge If you have databases with lots of lookups, this mini-app may help you. I actually conceived the idea and built the first version of it 40 years ago using COBOL and DB2. It's gone through several other platforms in the intervening years and undergone minor changes...

Just to be clear. The Option Explicit directive itself affects only the module you put it in. So, if you take an old db and change the default, nothing in the existing modules changes. You must manually add the directive to every module in the database and then of course, compile and fix all...

That's what I thought too but I'm not sure how changing the default to be Option Explicit would change existing applications since it only comes into play when you create a new module. If you take an old db and change the default to Option Explicit, no existing modules are affected. The app...

Whether you split the database into multiple applications is not relevant. If your user community prefers one interface to get to all the functions, leaving the FE (front -end) with all the mini-apps is fine. The advice about splitting is to remove the tables and put them into a separate...

Then maybe if you are developing an app that other people will use, you might want to create something the ordinary people will understand. If you were developing only for yourself, it wouldn't much matter how the interface worked but if you mystify the target audience, they won't use the app...
