    Batch file for updating local frontend Access database copy

    You mean, use an Access deployment tool, like Inno or SSE, to create an exe installer? We created our own utilities library, that includes an Access deployment tool, by compiling vb.net programs. None of our users tinker with the hidden batch scripts. If they were to deviate from protocol and...

    Batch file for updating local frontend Access database copy

    We don't bother with checking FE versions because our users always run a copy of the latest master FE version that's stored on the server.

    Batch file for updating local frontend Access database copy

    We do a CR and don't compile every time we make changes to the master frontend. The CR physically removes the logically deleted records from the temp tables so users always run an unbloated copy of the master FE. We followed Ken Getz, RIP, recommendations and also use several of his standard...

    Batch file for updating local frontend Access database copy

    We've been using desktop shortcuts that run a simple batch script for years with no issues. It copies the master FE that's in a CurrentVersion folder on the server to each user's FE_Copy folder, overwriting the previous FE_Copy, verifies that it was correctly recorded, and launches it. CD C:\...

    Shocking news about UtterAccess owner

    I read the unredacted indictment, it's awful. According to Pacer, he's not out on bail. Probably because he's a flight risk.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    I have already seen significant price increases on several items at the retailers. Whether it's due to tariffs, I think it's too soon. Resellers are known to exploit news to artificially raise prices, and if the tariffs go away they won't lower their prices. There's just too much corporate greed...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Undocumented = Illegal Alien, or someone who cannot prove their identity, nationality? ... If you have no documents to prove who you are, police in the U.S. will detain you, take you down to the station and do an AFIS (Automatic Fingerprint Identification System) check to see if you're a...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    He certainly manipulated the republican base, they followed, and now they're pissed at him because they feel things are heading in the wrong direction.

    Trump Administration Predictions

    Are all the undocumented workers who did the grunt jobs in America, and were deported, included in the labor reports?

    Trump Administration Predictions

    The big question is what's the reason for congressional republicans and several appointees turning against Trump? Did Elon Musk light the fuse? Or was it the big beautiful bill, the tariffs, the massive gov worker layoffs? Are constituents threatening to not vote for congressional republicans in...

    Late Stage Capitalism?

    There's always someone out to attack all of us, especially now that state sponsored actors and black hat groups have weaponized AI. Although we're not as high priority as gov infrastructure and corporations, they're attacking from all angles, including spoofed phone calls to 911 reporting armed...

    Late Stage Capitalism?

    Correction, there's no Google or Apple AWF app, but I would imagine the Xenforo platform AWF runs on provides that option? I have seen many apps that redirect to web browsers. I prefer using a browser because it's unbound stateless and cannot manipulate the iOS or Android filesystems like apps...

    Famous last words. Don't believe that. Look at the ad that showed up with your post:

    Late Stage Capitalism?

    I don't trust those fake placebo settings, especially on android devices. We don't know what goes on inside black boxes.

    Late Stage Capitalism?

    We've been discussing car audio systems BUM BUM and sure enough the randomly placed google ads are about car audio and tinting. Be careful you don't accidentally press on one of the ads, it tried to install an addon in my web browser. I refuse to install the AWF app on my phone. Apps gain all...

    Future of Access

    No pain, no gain. If we don't experiment, we don't progress! Linux supports IPC (Inter Process Communication), Shared Memory, and all governments use it, so why wouldn't they use Windows if it had those capabilities? Sub SendStatusFromSlaveToMaster() Dim Connect As Object Dim sDatabase1...
