I'll look at those. I have experienced payment failures when buying in another country on a credit card. Everything proceeds until the final payment conformation that falls over. In the end I switched off the VPN and it went through Ok.

I have been using Access since the last century and have never used a calculated field in a table. Mainly because I've had the impression, rightly or wrongly, that I'm not totally in control of them.

Why do so many sites now need you to confirm you are human? It must be a piece of spy software similar to CAPTCHA that logs some other site to log onto your PC. Generally, I will immediately close the prove you are human tickbox. Then find another that doesn't. I am always on a VPN, so I don't...

They are probably switching on the phone camera as well. All electric cars and some other newer cars have microphones and cameras inside and outside. MG and all other Chinese cars no doubt download everything for whatever reason. So if you have an MG, apart from knowing exactly where you have...

I rang Boots up the other day and after the number options it said "If you want marijuana, press the hash key"

Yes Jon it was. Always a person with a pleasant disposition to people she doesn't like which appears to be quite a lot. She claims to be a comedian but all I've heard her come out with is abuse and sarcasm. As an aside, she was a nurse at one time. Just imagine coming round after an operation...

From what I understand he hasn't incited violence in the neo-terrorist understanding of violence. It has been similar to a tweet stated in his current trial which was similar to "if a woman finds a trans in a women only space, then she is entitled to kick him in the balls" . He tends to make a...

A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, “Doctor, doctor, I can’t feel my legs!” The doctor replied, “I know you can’t, I’ve cut your arms off”.

Graham is Irish, a citizen of Eire, the Irish Republic. Not Northern Ireland British. He uploaded those posts from Arizona a couple of months ago apparently. So if any US citizens post anything that the British police think is unsuitable, or someone objects to, then watch out! If you come to...

I recently had my main email use a CAPTCHA demand to check my recovery email and enter the code that had been sent there. I opened the recovery email and that also required me to enter a code it had sent to my phone. By the time I’d all done that and returned to my main email, it had timed out...

Personally I would never issue a batch file to a client for any reason whatsoever. There could just be some clown who alters a batch file, causing a sequence of errors that I would be obliged to fix. I would always create the batch file and then convert it into an EXE file before issuing.

If I'm asked for my email I have two options. The first is that I'm far too old for those new fangled computer email things The second is the name of the shop @gmail.com

Consider also maintaining price lists and multiple price lists. At an annual price change, rates will need to be entered in the weeks/days prior. Then on the day of the change all existing rates will need to be replaced with the new rates. Plus, you may need to maintain records of old price...

Maybe you don't need to? If the data is working fine why not just open the two of them from the merged FE? There is no restriction to opening more than one BE database and keeping them open. I often did that in my software. As a for-instance: I had a weighbridge program and a skip hire...

Generally, the certainty of unintended consequences has been the predilection of politicians. However, unintended consequences has also the become the bane of all software developers. As AI is trained by software developers we can only expect a considerable increase in these events. The problem...

Fools & Horses - Chandelier sketch

It is only a matter of time. The plan is to increase prices to ensure that all cars look cheaper if paid for by the mile or on subscription. One plan/dream, that I cannot see happening but it might. Is for car ownership to cease and if you want to go anywhere you will call a driverless car on an...

Sometimes I'd print the statement out on a piece of cardboard, with the message "THIS IS A STIFF REMINDER" in large letters. Occasionally, I'd threaten County Court and they would always pay up then. A solicitor once told me that it was a simple task to do a DIY County Court claim. Providing I...

Many years ago I was at a client's office and she did the Rightclick which I didn't know about then. I thought, "hell I'm supposed to be the expert here, better sharpen up!" Many users don't know that Ctrl+; will copy the cell above in a spreadsheet and a field in a datasheet. They were always...
