Small companies react quickly, or not at all. More often not at all. If he doesn't need it then then forget it. If next month/year he has the need you'll receive a call. If he can find your number. In the days of posting flyers, you could expect 3 to 5 responses from each 100. A response isn't...

They say; commeth the hour, commeth the man. But in the West all we can see are idealists, dreamers, fanatics and committees. As an example; Van de Leyen is the best that the whole of Europe, 27 countries and 450 million people, can come up with. Then we have Starmer and there are simply no...

That and Ukraine are a real mess. Both evolving solution-less nightmares. I cannot see a solution but neither can I understand the mentality, or aspirations of these people. Surely they can see what the end game will be? It is more than obvious that many countries, UK, Canada, USA, the EU where...

There is of course the (some may say caustic) opinion/expression that all people are thieves if they think they can get away with it.

If you were from Lancashire and parts of Yorkshire, you may get "fair to middlin' " and in some places "yeah........fine" Of course the answer nobody wants is "well as you asked....." followed by a parade of illnesses, or disasters. In which case you just stand there shifting from one foot to...

Not too bad!

To all you US bikers. The Isle of Man TT. (26th May to 7th June) Practice sessions started on the 26th May and the racing proper at the Isle of Man TT started yesterday. Unfortunately Pete Hickman came off during qualifying on the Kerrowmoar section of the circuit and was airlifted to hospital...

All very worrying. A total nightmare. Quite possibly resulting in a solutionless issue gifted by MS that, they will have no desire to fix. The bad news is that Windows12 is around the corner, which will be the first AI managed OS experiment. Can't wait(n)(n) Mind you, I've had the general...

I do not see emails on my phone. I do not do any so called social media, Facebook, X, or whatever. I don't do apps, or QR codes, or banking, or buy anything with my phone. I use a phone to call people and the occasional text. I've stopped looking at the news and newspapers on the PC. Hugely...

Over all the years of using Access, I have never used the so called Wizard to split my databases. I have never seen the point in it. On a new application I'll keep everything in one .accde as I find it can be easier in the early days. Then I'll create a new BE database and import just the...

There has been a mention of going off topic, which is really common on Access World. Happens all the time. This one went off, came back then went off again. I once posted a question that quicky went off topic and wasn't resolved. So some time later I posted again with a similar question. The...

I'm surprised that the fairy didn't add "So now you owe the tax and NI on the money you've just received".

In my ticketing systems there would be a delete. It allowed operators to delete incorrect orders, or orders from comedians who rang in for a delivery to a non-existent address etc. Of course it also allowed actual orders to disappear so the operator could pick up some cash. The systems, however...

How often do we see "survey provides conclusive proof of......" Then you look a little deeper and the sample was 250, or a little more.

Thanks to the internet, there appears to be no limit for some nutjob to dream up some health science idea. Not only that, people believe them because they presume they must be some sort of expert.

At New Year my wife decided that she would take more exercise and do a five mile walk every day. When it was our wedding anniversary, I had to drive all the way to York to bring her back.

More people should read CLIMATE UNCERTAINTY AND RISK by Judith A Curry. (2023) In parts it may be a bit heavy going in a few places but it is nearer to the truth than you'll get from Al Gore and our Loony Labour government etc. It is likely you will not find it in your library. Not quite the...

It does now appear that the Athmospheric Event, so called actually what they meant was too much cloud and not high temperatures. The nutty green commie brigade zealots have managed to close fossil fuel power stations over Spain, Portugal and parts of France. Nearly total reliance of solar caused...

Sigh. I don't normally repeat myself but after 43 posts none of us know anything at all. We don't know what data is to be stored. Nor do we know what information is required from the system. As I have said, the system starts from the contents of the Tables, not from an airy fairy idea, or an...

You do for certain types of building. Here we have Grade1 and Grade2 designations that are allocated to older buildings, or in particular locations like National Parks. In some cases even paint colours inside and out can be dictated. Making unauthorised changes inside and out can result in out...
