I did wonder that at first but it would be a long update, as I've tried it several times since about 7am.

That's reassuring, it means I haven't got an obscure error somewhere!

Not really sure where to post this and I'm just wondering if it is only me. Since early morning the Search it has failed. When I do a Search it comes up with the error : Oops! We ran into some problems A server error occurred. Please try again later. I've tried it even with a simple search...

On a summers day at the sell out cricket final between England and Australia there was a guy sat next to an empty seat. When asked about it, he said it was his wife's but she had passed. When asked why he didn't give the place to one of his mates, he said he couldn't because they were all at the...

I wasn't referring to money at all. More as you say to shelter and warmth, which are pretty basic on Maslow's pyramid. No electric = no pumping petrol, no information beyond the people you see. And very rapidly no food, or water from your taps. Hoarding food in preparation would do little to...

I came across this the other day from another Forum. It is written by Eric Lendvai and I thought some may find it interesting? Eric clearly has little, if any experience of Access, as it isn't mentioned. But you will be able to add your own pros & cons on Access anyway. I have posted it...

Wouldn't #8 by cheekybuddha not be a solution to this post? In MODULES DLookup & Concatenate https://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/threads/dlookup-concatenate.332926/

If you want to keep DOS alive there is V-DOS, a free application that runs in Windows and appears solid. I have run old MS-DOS software without error in it. Never looked at FreeDos, so cannot comment. But if you want Text based screens, Harbour is a decent (and free) solution. It also allows...

The next door neighbour thinks that his wife is starting to lose her memory. Apparently, the other day she told him that she couldn't remember a single reason why she was ever attracted to him.

Dave Allen's shows were always worth watching. It's a pity that he refused to allow them to be repeated. So except for odd internet snippets, that's all that's left.

A Xmas song showing how in earlier years we so often accepted the ludicrous

Unbelievably this is what governments do. Until the 1980s Britain was still sending orphans and other poor, or difficult young children to Australia. I have not the slightest how they justified such an action. It was a terrible secret, hidden until many years later. It is only in the last...

Totally agree @DickyP It's always difficult to get the balance. Labour nationalised the railways and the mines after the war. Claiming that the country would benefit by using the profits to improve the lives of everyone. Problem was that during the war the government did totally control them...

It'll Be Freezing this Christmas, complements Sir Stalin's Loony Labour government.

Royal Mail is now owned by an unknown Czech. But maybe Daniel Kretinsky knows more about software than Paula Vennells ever did? Brilliant, Royal Mail has now joined with water, gas, electricity, train companies and the M6 Toll Motorway, as all foreign owned. The only way is down with this...

I have what is called a smartphone that just goes online at home with WiFi. Only used for outside camera and a once a week call on Signal to Australia. The telephone number on it I'll just use for some online accounts. I never look at emails on the phone. Only on the PC and each email has a...

Does it have an ejector seat more like. Something going wrong means the doors won't open.

The basic rule is that you are insured for everything, except the things you claim for. Back in the days when I was in steel fabrication, our insurance guy told us that for all small claims, they'd look to recover 110% within two years. So maybe think before you claim for a damaged carpet etc...

Looks about as interesting as the new Jag. I'll only buy a car that I'd have been pleased to have designed. So haven't had a Jag for years. Not since Ford based them on the Mondeo. THen Ford sold them to Tata and they became a Tata Jag, which is not good. Mind you Renault named on of their cars...

Being a bit of a luddite, I'd be quite happy running XP. But not bothered if Win10 doesn't have any more security updates. My remaining Win10 laptop is one of my machines that never goes online anyway.
