    The Covid cure has arrived!

    British Prime Minister

    The Tory MPs will elect a new Parliamentary leader and that person will become PM. From what I've read, there is no outstanding person and this may lead to a time of instability in the Tories as there is a jostling for power.

    British Prime Minister

    Looks like BoJo is about to stand down, although he might continue in a care taker role in the interim. Better someone British comment on the Tories prospects for the next election. But they have been remarkably quiet on this topic so far. Maybe too polite to comment on their own politics...

    British Prime Minister

    In the UK government system, as with Commonwealth countries (Australia, New Zealand), the country is divided into electorates of approximately equal size of voters. Whoever gets the majority of votes in each electorate wins. The political party which has won the most number of electorates...

    Record validation

    You could have at least prepared an input form . Why do you include 300M and 600M in your table NewEvent when they are not catered for? And this table should be Events. I earn my living from developing Access systems. I don't mind helping to solve problems but you've just banged something...

    Help on reference number for database

    Use separate fields for Contract No, Invoice Date and Period covered. You can combine these in any printed invoice, or I'd just put the data on the invoice so there does have to be any interpretation.

    What's your best/worst joke?

    Special Sort

    The getting of the OP's business rules has been like drawing teeth. In formulation heats, I expect there will also be restrictions on gender, category (eg Under 16) and event type (eg 100m, 200m)

    Special Sort

    With the last example, instead of 5 heats of 8 and 1 heat of 4, wouldn't you prefer 4 heats of 7 and 2 heats of 8 Algorithm is divide number of contestants (C) by 8, round up to next whole number (N). Remainder (R) is N*8 - C Have R heats of 7 and (N-R) heats of 8
