ChatGPT recently got hilariously outmatched by a piece of tech nearly five decades old, an Atari 2600. Software engineer Robert Caruso shared that the AI, despite its advanced capabilities, was “absolutely wrecked” by Atari Chess, a 1979 game that only thinks one to two moves ahead. Even on...

You may not believe me, but I don't remember when was the last time I lied. Why should I lie? I'm 63 and I don't understand the logic of lying. When someone needs or feels it's better to lie? If you ask me something, either I answer, which is what I think I believe and is the truth, or I keep my...

@MajP This is the exact reason I started setting all variables to nothing. Some people without having the correct understanding, start "Teaching" ((and yes @jwcolby54 I am using the quotes intentionally) their wrong methods of programing and saying vba doesn't clean after itself or such, and we...

I have to watch it again. I don't remember it.

Mohamed Aziz, born in 1948 in Rabat, Morocco, is a respected bookseller and self-taught intellectual who has devoted more than 43 years to his humble bookstore, Bouquiniste El Azizi, situated on Avenue Mohammed V. Despite facing significant challenges early in life—losing his parents at age six...

Exactly. The only hope there is 700 engineer can do what an AI does.

In a global first, an Austrian university has admitted an AI as a full-time art student. 🎨🦾 Named “Flynn,” the AI was accepted into the digital art program at the University of Applied Arts Vienna after completing a standard application, including a portfolio, interview, and suitability test...

Builder.ai, a London-based startup once valued at $1.5 billion and backed by major investors including Microsoft and Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, has filed for bankruptcy following revelations that its purported AI-powered platform was largely operated by approximately 700 human engineers...

I'm sorry if I posted something that caused a misunderstanding. I meant the OP had the answer sooner, not who solved the problem. I simply thought she had missed #2 post and wanted her to know it. I also understand that MajP explained how, but you simply showed the exact code. And I'm one of...

@sonic8 To prove it's a font problem, and en currency is still backslash, here's the same machine, the same code, but when the font in option is changed to Lucida. Most fonts shows backslash as en. The following (and possible few others) show it as it should be. Segoe UI Courier New Lucida...

Yes. Some languages have a different backslash, but Windows behave them as backslash in background. In Japanese: Visual appearance: ¥ (Yen sign) instead of \ Reason: The character 0x5C (ASCII 92) is rendered as ¥ in many Japanese system fonts. Actual character: Still a backslash \ in the...

If I copy ms-photos:FilePath=D:\images\008.jpg into run command (win key+R), the file opens.

No. The same error message. File not found. As I said, Microsoft.Photo.exe is protected by system and can not be accessed. The following is my code. The path to jpg is correct. Function OpenNEF() Const EXE_FILE As String = "C:\Program...

@jwcolby54 I really don't want to start an argument, but : There are three types of people who use these forums. 1- Novice users. These users, have not enough knowledge about Access, and copy paste whatever they see. (me, when I joined AWF) 2- Users who know about Access and VBA less and more...

You're trying to teach us how to make a class that may cause a circular reference? You know it and you don't explain it? What kind of a teacher does that? If @MarkK hadn't explained it and someone follow your steps, where his app would end? I really had faith in you, but reading your recent...

I think @MajP solved your problem in #2.

@cheekybuddha Which version of Windows are you using? I think it's the core problem here. Different PCs may run on different versions of Windows. In Windows 11, the Photos app is a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app and does not have a traditional .exe file like classic Win32 applications...

Now that I think about the process method (second method), I can see three problems. This method fails if while the file is opening, another application, manually or from another script is launched. If you have an unsaved file, the first method, (exe.terminate) asks if you want to save the...

Here's how I terminate a process Sub TerminateProcessByName(procName As String) Dim objWMIService As Object Dim colProcessList As Object Dim objProcess As Object Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT...

Since we use it for CAD files, we hadn't any problem so far. But in some cases as you explain, it may cause problems. How about This method : Read the list of running processes Open your file Find the new process and keep it in a public variable or a tempvar Terminate the process when necessary...
