    Watercooler v political forum

    That's why Gentleman's Clubs were so useful: nothing wrong with discussions about politics and religion but in the correct place: the pub (street corners etc) and church (chapel, temple, mosque etc... ), but one needs sanctuaries.

    Access Not Using Default Database Folder

    I've never seen this as a real problem - a little navigation is only a couple of seconds in a manual process . Must admit, however, I seldom ever build an .accde from the SaveAs dialog. My .accde files are built from my Releases database in code, where you can guarantee where you are saving...

    LEAVE MANAGEMENT

    This really depends on how many people you are administering leave for. I suggest that if it is less than twenty it's easier done on papaer!

    LEAVE MANAGEMENT

    Well done for flagging a this which can be a real problem - years back when I served in a tri-service unit it was a nightmare as each of the three services calculated entitlements and counting of days taken in different ways.

    How to refer to objects in referenced db?

    As an aside to the main thread how many others are baffled like me at Microsoft's decision to prevent classes being exposed in referenced access databases? Seems crass to me, given that most referenced databases usage is for Library databases,

    Solved SQL statement works in Access but not via ODBC

    I know the solutions to this thread is to avoid UNION but it is worth pointing out that ODBC Drivers are notorious for not handling UNION. Test the usage against Access rear end, but to use against the target database use Pass through queries.

    Mobile phones (Cell phones in US speak) and the 'Why don't you use the app?'

    Don't apologise - I personally am delighted you did - it has been a fascinating cultural exchange lesson. Anyway the thread was under Water Cooler so it's the sort of way these discussion around the watercolour go in real life.

    Mobile phones (Cell phones in US speak) and the 'Why don't you use the app?'

    Two problems here - an item can more than one shelf price in UK(for instance if you are using a Loyalty Card) and in the USA, the shelf price is normally pre-tax so it's not what you pay at the till anyway (usage and tax rates vary by state).

    Mobile phones (Cell phones in US speak) and the 'Why don't you use the app?'

    Yours sounds excellent process to me. And that's where it all falls down for the USA and the UK. People just are not willing to engage in security. They just flash their contactless card and wander off. No idea what they have been actually charged and far worse, no interest. Indeed talking to...
