It is something that is hard to think about, because in our imagination, outside the universe there must be some kind of space that contains the universe. Unfortunately instead you have to bend your mind a fair bit and understand that reality outside the universe is very conceptual in nature...

But surely to a blind man it doesn't matter if the room is dark? :p

My responses: The Universe may be infinite. The evidence is not complete enough to say, but I think it is currently leaning towards an infinite Universe. The calculated size etc. is only the Observable Universe, a small area of the Universe with Earth at the center. We can't see outside it...

Yes it does seem hard at times. But take heart in the fact that you probably understand other people better than cats understand other cats! :D At the very least we can always come to vague 'they are stupid' or 'they have X trait' conclusions when we don't understand behaviour. Having the...

I haven't heard that phrase before. Does it mean the idea that societies all independently believe in gods of some kind? I think that is easily accounted for: it is a product of the human mind's drive to assume pattern and reason in the world, a behaviour that on a practical level makes us a...

I contend the opposite: that an infinitely large universe, or or an infinite number of finite universes, outlandish events are CERTAIN to occur, just because any event that doesn't have a probability of exactly zero will occur at some point, and some point, somewhere in reality. Keep in mind...

The scientist's view: Yes. Why couldn't it? Plenty of time has passed to allow our universe to develop as it has. It is all predictable. Crazy stuff can happen by chance given long enough. Yes. But to have a good chance of it happening, you have to do it a lots of times, which in your...

I haven't tried it, but I've heard you need to create a custom ribbon on top of everything to get rid of quick access toolbar. This thread seems to talk about such an idea: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=202518

Possible way: Use the On Timer event on the orders form. It could check one a second to see if the search form is open (or any other forms you might open from it), and if nothing else is open, set the orders form focus. Or was them problem that you can't set focus to the modal pop up forms at...

My recommendation is that in the record sources of the sub forms, put a criteria on the customerid that takes the value of the box containing the customerid on your primary form. So in the criteria box you'll have something like: Forms![NameofYourForm]![NameofControlHoldingCustomerId] You'll...

Looks like this have everything you need to know about Focus setting: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294212http://

Very strange. Is the subform object (like the frame that is holding the subform in the parent form) also named Personnel? (I think it needs to be if not.)

If it is a sub form you have to refer to it in a particular way in the code. Safest way will be something like Forms!Contracts!Personnel.Form.DirectorInCharge.SetFocus Although actually there are a few ways to do it. See link...

Possibly yes, but wasn't you original point that risks such as these deserve more attention than climate issues with effects on timescales of 50 years? I still disagree as preparing for random undetected impacts of a dangerous scale pretty much means creating sustainable cities deep underground...

I don't see your point here. Yes there have been asteroid impacts in the past, the vast majority of which have no effect or only local effects. The climate changes that have happened so far are estimated to be causing 150,000 deaths per year (World Health Organization estimate). I don't know the...

Possible solutions could be a long the lines of using VBA to manually set focus to whatever you want on the 'Lost Focus' event of the last object. Thus when you tab off the object, hopefully that would class as it losing the focus and run your code to jump the focus to a new location.

Had a look at that capture code and it looks quite specific to Excel, so I think it would be a fair bit of work to remake in Access (and I personally wouldn't know how to do it). All I can say is that if I were in your situation I would just use the regular screen capture method, i.e. press...

I know nothing at all about C++, but I do know that Access in general can get corrupted simply by using it a lot, so thousands of requeries could certainly be slowly breaking things just because of Access not being good at heavy duty activities!

Sounds awesome, glad it all came together!

You probably meant to say a common back end and a separate individual copy of the front end!
