    What is your most memorable event / experience that will stay with you forever?

    The_Doc_Man: I have been to a number of the places you listed and many more. Makes it hard to choose. Of course there was the launch of the Skylab crew and a Space Shuttle launch. Then there was visiting the Lincoln memorial in Washington D.C.. The Grand Canyon (watching the sunrise from...

    print a crystal report filtered to a data row that is on a form

    There are lots of ways to 'show' a Crystal Report. You may be able to use a viewer, but I do not know if they accept parameters. Another way is to use the SDK tools provided by SAP (beyond what I know about).

    Most of the Spanish words I have learned are by going to Mexican restaurants. Since I live in Central California, it probably would be useful to know more Spanish. A lot of billboards and store fronts are in Spanish around here.

    Drone Takeover

    A lot of reasons a drone could be cost effective. It does eliminate an truck's expense (insurance, fuel, driver). Really handy if someone lives down a winding road high up in the mountains.

    Car insurance - they always up my rate!

    We do have a bit of choice though. I can get smaller premiums if I opt for a higher co-pay and less coverage.

    Car insurance - they always up my rate!

    Issac: My case is reversed. My car insurance (~60.00 US/month) is way cheaper than my health insurance for two people (~1400.00 US/month). My employer is nice enough to kick in some money for my health insurance so my out of pocket is about $420.00/month.

    Car insurance - they always up my rate!

    In the U.S., From what I understand, if you are in a public place, then anyone can film you. It is nice that Google hides their face. But of course you can hide your face for any reason. My wife is photo shy.

    Car insurance - they always up my rate!

    So for years you dump money into an insurance company, if you have a claim (health and life insurances work different from the rest). Then the insurance company determines how you actually get for repairs/replacement. Then they can cancel you or raise the rates.

    What is your most memorable event / experience that will stay with you forever?

    I have a lot of good memories. But the one that stands out right now is when I got to the top of half dome in Yosemite. It was quite a view (it is quite a hike up and back in a day).

    Car insurance - they always up my rate!

    My insurance rate has been pretty stable for the last couple of years. I went with the insurance company through Costco (yes you need a Costco membership). Pretty decent rate considering I have to have full coverage. And they do a monthly withdraw from my checking account (small processing...

    Numeric String comparison

    I went with Micon's solution (with a slight modification). Just to give everyone a little background of the database. First off, I did not create the database itself. I was asked to produce some code to automate (flag) bad tests for dairies. So the dairy milk gets tested for like five...

    Numeric String comparison

    No kidding as I lose hair trying to come up with an good solution. There is a lot of old data the using the "<1000000", but the new data they are not doing it and since I only look eight months back. I may be able to ignore the "<1000000".

    Numeric String comparison

    So I have some code that is most of the time a number, but sometimes be a string (i.,e "1000000" or "<1000000"). But I have to compare to a number (i.e, 600000). The values come from an MS-SQL back end. I tried using Format() (i.e, Format(rst!.DMSCC.Value, "#########") ) and compare that to...

    The chair I have was provided by my employer, It is steel and mesh. Pretty comfortable, I believe the list price was about $350 (US). The most comfortable chair that I ever had (for work) was an executive chair (high back, leather or fake leather, lots of cushioning). I have no idea how much...

    TechSupport - Sometimes You Just Have to Role Your Eyes

    Of course the programming (especially at the OS level) is extremely complicated. There always the chance that an input to a particular routine was not handled correctly. Thus there is a cascading effect of failure due to unexpected values.
