    Gym Offers Free Membership To Those Who Refuse CoVid Vaccinations

    Is this not a gift to data scientists?... Can't think of a better way to track Covid infections of unvaccinated people who willingly congregate in close quarters with heavy breathing. Good way to get rid of 50% of Republicans who stubbornly refuse vaccination. These meatheads are hysterical...

    Have you been impersonated?

    I guess the pretender's next step was to totally assimilate Dr. Lodder a la invasion of the body snatchers 😱

    Solved "Encrypted-Split-No-Strings-DB" - Security Challenge Solved

    Are you referring to the Forensics tool, or Wayne's tool? You mention cracking accdb password, but what about cracking a password encrypted accde, such as @isladogs demo challenge? Most of the password cracking tools rely on brute-force and if a long enough password is used then brute force...

    Starting database design - thoughts please

    There are exceptions where the PK field is not the same as the table name, and not all PK's are autonumber fields. e.g. tblDrawerSummary.DrawerDatePKID joining tblDrawerDetail.DrawerDateFKID

    UI design and Fitts' Law by Jensen Harris

    Agreed, all forms in our apps started out with the standard template you mention. Our apps are as intuitive possible. We streamlined data entry by carefully defining field tab orders, tagging field groups, use of default values, exception handling, etc. so users don't even have to use a mouse...

    Custom function with Pass-Through in Access

    @zezo2021 - but what does the rest of your sequel statement look like?... i.e. the SELECT/FROM part. I ask because there's syntax also involved when specifying column and table names, plus we might be able to further optimize your PT query.

    Custom function with Pass-Through in Access

    Okay, you only provided part of the sequel statement you wish to pass through. Can you provide the full statement?

    Custom function with Pass-Through in Access

    First you have to tell us the target db server the query is going to be passed to because each db server has specific SQL syntax, e.g. SQL-Server uses T-SQL syntax.

    I am not a skilled hacker. There was no need to further hack your demo, as I was able to easily change the db properties of your accde and export data via your form. Most users would frown if their application were broken into like that. I am happy with the $99 forensics tool I purchased. It...

    Well, as you and several others already know, I was able to quickly break into your accde with the wide array of tools available on the web and able to export data to Excel via your test form, obtain your RC4 cipher key, etc. etc. So easy even a caveman can do it. That's such an uneasy feeling...

    Phillipp S. will probably be looking at your disconnected ADO Recordset setup among other aspects, and Wayne, well everything about it. I did not see any NDA requirements for FrankTheTank, you should protect your work, should the accde be reverse engineered.

    Good deal!.. Last time I looked at PowerApps it was just getting off the ground, circa 2015. I remember George Hepworth evaluated it and said it was very limited. Here's what Zoho had to say about PowerApps when MS announced AWA's deprecation in 2018...

    Last year's virtual conference was free and this year they're charging 85 euros for it, 240 for the 1 day workshop, and its all done online with MS Teams.
