It's no problem, and I apologise for the honest mistake. Could you clarify a couple of points... Are you talking about handheld scanning terminals, or 'dumb' scanning devices attached to a desktop or laptop PC which does the 'smart' bit? In what sort of locations do you expect to use these...

I googled some phrases from the OP and found identical posts on multiple forums - some of them on forums where the theme didn't seem all that relevant to this kind of question. i234i - If you're a real human being and this is an earnest question, I sincerely apologise for mistaking you for a...

Interesting. I had no idea this function existed. In order to know that people are stalking the Who's Online section, don't you have to stalk the Who's Online section yourself?

I get at least as much out of this board as I put in - some of it by just reading the clever solutions other people -expert and amateur - offer; some of it by direct asking of questions, and some of it from the process of discussing and debating a potential solution, or having my assumptions and...

Monday morning *bump* Really hoping someone can advise on this one....

You could create a single query that yields results like you want, by first creating calculated fields, using the Iif function, so you would include your table into the top section of the query designer, then in the top row of the grid, type expressions like this: CountEnglish...

I've got an application where certain parts of certain forms should be invidible or disabled by default, only being enabled if the user logging in has sufficient rights, etc. As developer, I have of course assigned one of my test IDs to have these rights - if I log in as this user, then switch...

From a system/db point of view, perhaps not, but from an accounting/audit perspective, reversing and re-doing the transaction is often absolutely essential, for several reasons, including: - The period in which the original transaction occurred may have been balanced and closed - a correction...

I asked a question a bit like this a while ago, because it seemed to me that double-entry bookkeeping was a bit anti-normal, but as others have said, it's still a valid method, because although both sides of the transaction must always balance, they can be composed of different assorted...

Might work. It mostly hinges on whether those higher up in command can objectively determine who, out of the employees and the new boss, has the legitimate complaint - and whether those people higher up in command are inclined to try to find this out. If they are any good as managers, they...

It might be difficult to establish that when some of the complaints this boss is making have a kernel of truth to them - using a fire extinguisher to prop open a door, for example, is something that employees just should not be doing. Yes, it's a very commonly-done thing, and granted the boss...

Might be a popover ad, if not, you could have some sort of malware on your PC

How did the survey arrive? Was it a link in a private message or something?

Although I agree what you're describing does indeed sound like a bad boss attitude, sometimes clashes like this arise just out of the fact that different people have different personalities and ways of speaking. I've seen examples in the workplace many times where the employee was trying her...

You need one table to store your budget data. For any fields where you have data that might repeat on multiple rows (whether or not you want to choose the value from a list), you should store a key value that points to a table containing a list of possible values for that field. In the case of...

Yeah, but this is one of the reasons why they shouldn't.

If you have the certificate of authenticity sticker for your installation of windows (usually a green and purple label affixed to the underside of the laptop), you should be able to contact Microsoft by telephone and get them to talk you through activation - details here...

None of it this should really matter though - because IDs only need to be unique - they shouldn't really be used in contexts where it upsets anything if this happens.

Like I said, it affects different people in different ways. I've had personal experience of working for people like this, so you shouldn't imagine that my viewpoint is theoretical - it's merely different, because there are different ways of dealing with similar situations, some of which work...

Whatever floats your boat, I guess - but for some people (not everyone, granted), giving in to anger would be defeat.
