You have to read it like an insurance policy. If you're insured against floods but you get wiped out by a tsunami, the adjustor will deny your claim. You can jump up and down and say you were covered, but he will just reiterate, over and over, that floods are floods and tsunamis are tsunamis. So...

Well, not really sure Blade. Far be it from me to guess the motives of divine beings. The short answer is that He looked upon the world and was righteously PO'ed at all the wickedness. Decided to wash it clean and start all over. So, by extension, you might say that compared with all the...

Froth You made the connection between Descartes and solipsism - a connection I intentionally avoided until you brought him up. By the way: Descartes walks into a bar and orders a martini. Bartender says, "ya want an olive in that?" Descartes says "I think not" and then disappears.

Not quite right, Doc man. The promise was not to destroy the Earth again by FLOOD. He kept his options open, and did not waive the right to destroy the Earth by any other means. It really comes down to a promise that nobody who believes this nonsense in the first place should take any comfort in.

Sure Blade. Catch up with you then. Until then - watch out for Russell's teapot in space. Ta-ta!

It's hard to see what you're driving at. I can't see any problem here. What did you say the problem was? One thing, I would have two separate combo or list boxes - one for Area and one for Bin - rather than trying to combine these two data fields. But what you're trying to accomplish...

Descartes is the Muhammad of Solipsism. I would love to have a word with him, if only he existed.

Some people require proof to believe in something. Some people just need to believe. I don't believe in pretty much anything. I'm even more skeptical than an atheist. I'm a solipsist. Nothing outside of my own mind can be proven to me to exit. If this seems absurd, then think of a vivid dream...

Human behavior and thought are such fascinating topics. I read the article on the Dunning Kruger Effect. I have seen this effect many times in my own experience. As stated by someone in the thread above, it is closely related to the Peter Principle. There are the Elon Musks and Dean Kamens of...

I'll give it a shot. I'll report back momentarily. edit: IT WORKED. Whoever you are, sir, you just pulled my buns out of the fire, saved my job, saved the company, and saved the world. I thank you greatly. May your handicap go to scratch. Fairways and greens, sir.

Or try to explain software configuration management to a three headed, fire-breathing dragon!

Recently I answered a question in this subforum about the Transfer Spreadsheet method. Then, I was trying to help another forum member. Now I'm the one with the problem. Always found this method to be useful but quirky. A function, which has been working for years (with the occasional hiccup)...

I think it's time society really tackled the issue of medically assisted suicide. We're living longer, and many diseases can be held more or less at bay without a cure for many years - but the strain on the patient and the families can be intense. Why is it not the option of ANY individual to...

Thank you, Doc Man for your reply. You know, we (you and I) seem to have a lot in common. First of all, I find your posts to be fair and sensible - at least the ones I've read. I find that I can agree with much that you write. Second of all, I was also the primary care giver, Power of Attorney...

Mike - do you really think a chimp is closer to an ant than a human? I would argue the reverse - a chimp is actually very close to a human in physiology and abilities. The smartest chimps are smarter than many humans. Chimps can be taught language and tool use. A one year old chimp and a one...

This is a remarkably interesting topic and accounts for all sorts of otherwise inexplicable human behavior. It even accounts for certain animal behavior, in cognitive animals like monkeys. It accounts for a great deal of our attitudes that, when you stop to really think about them, you can't...

It's Yiddish. Oy is short for oy vey which is short for oy veyz mir. Oy is also short for oy gevalt. It's an expression of dismay or disgust. You see?

What do you think? Are we, as a society, better off or worse off than we were when you were a child? I know that as a child, you can't evaluate things like social injustice or wealth inequality - so I know the question is a little skewed. But what is your impression? Here are some of my own...

Hi- The main thing I was going on about was correctly specifying the spreadsheet's location. As far as acImport and acExport - I just picked an example from my own code - I should have found an Import example but it works either way. Can you tell us exactly the error message you're getting? If...

It doesn't look to me that you have the correct specification for the Transfer Spreadsheet method. You have: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 10, _ "PymtElc", CustomerFile, True It seems to me that you're missing a required argument - the path to the spreadsheet. I don't believe that just...
