I find this interesting and only just seen the post. As with everyone else, I have written my own program. The difficulty with biological, step, adopted etc of different fathers has not occurred in my trees. To me only the biological father is of interest, as they are the ones that take the...

When will this pointless posting be shut down?

The Russians can create a Carrington apparently. This is right if true and propaganda and fear mongering if it isn't. You decide. If propaganda it reminds us of the Covid years when World wide message from the WHO etc was "retain control by maintaining the fear" After all there is another DAVOS...

Was there not a Skol larger a few years ago? It was sold inferring it was Danish, or Scandinavian larger. I think brewed in Scotland and as we all know, the Scots have never made a decent beer. They do whiskey and claim it is unique but just about every country now makes the stuff now. Some...

Cheers for that GPGeorge, I'll take a look & investigate.

I have to admit that I haven't looked at any GPGeorge. Not a single one. What would be your starter for ten?

Which is just what, I said! Why reiterate? Jon answered my question in #24.

It is possible to replace Access with Python. I looked at using Tkinter for GUI programming but decided against that and Python in the end. I'm always on the lookout for an Access replacement but not found one yet. Although that is still a work in progress. Problem is that Access is just so...

I did think that issues with copyright would prevent me but thought it was worth asking. As a software writer ( albeit retired) I am opposed to any form of piracy. I bought the book 14 years ago, which included a CD containing the official PDFs. However, the book has long been out of print for...

You don't pay it if you do not watch live TV. So if you want the news today, legally you should pay. If you watch it on feedback the following, then free. Same with TV programs. Watching them on playback is Ok but of course you cannot record programs on playback. We will record programs to shoot...

Here we have to pay an annual tax of about £180 to a government Quango, the BBC in order to legally watch live TV. This gives about 100 free FreeView channels. That cost I think that is more than enough for the rubbish they put out. If there is noting to watch, then we'll switch it off. About...

I have a copy of the book Access2010 Inside Out, by Conrad & Viescas, printed by Microsoft 2010. © Conrad & Viescas. Maybe not in the same class as Getz & Litwin but they make a good fist of it. As anyone who has a copy will know, the printed book itself is just 1,440 pages, including the index...

Maybe we are at cross purposes here Pat? I attach brief samples of code that maybe explains what I was saying. I had to do a screen shot, as using <CODE> didn't keep the alignments that I wanted to show.

The way I read it was that you agreed with the Python comments and maybe some others but then said that you suspected that the whole thing was inaccurate. Which I thought was a contradiction. You obviously disagree. So there we are, agreeing to disagree.:) I posted the opinions of Eric as I...

I take your point but do not agree with the above generalisation. But do you not contradict yourself from the Python reference? I am not a fan of case sensitive and always irritated with it when I slip in and out of Linux. Why should a filename, or folder be case sensitive? But I do like the...

A column today in the Telegraph, PDF attached. In a similar vein, although no stats to support this but I wonder just how much of the surge in dementia, Alzheimer's etc is caused by alcohol and drugs. If someone has medication for depression to help them forget, they can hardly be surprised if...

When I employed people, I used to think that maybe around 10% of them were really good. Ten percent were bad but often necessary hands and the first to go in a downturn. The rest were also-rans varying from good to mediocre.

Maybe the older you are the less you should eat that stuff? Not the other way around. But why do we need to be mandated? Why must draconian rules be enforced against the population. We all know that drugs will cause serious damage and it is illegal to use them but stupid people still buy them...

Can this be summarised simply by barter? It used to work all over the place, certainly in England in years gone by.

I was looking for a solution for a separator line in a Combo but the Search wasn't working. So in the meantime I cobbled together a cheap and nasty solution of sorts and add it here in case it may be of interest. 1. Me!Combo109.RowSource = "' ';'Census';'Gazetteer';'Notes'" << normal Combo...
