For years Access has been software's perennial creaking gate. So many have claimed for so long that Access was dead. Although usually people who either didn't like Access, MS or had never used it. It's OK for prototyping is often said. Like someone has time to create a working system in one...

In the past I have used Access FE & BE on Terminal Server over four remote sites. But only with no more that 80 concurrent users

Whilst everyone tries to keep fit in body, according to new research by the UK Beer & Wine Lobby Group, alcohol fine tunes the brain. As you drink alcohol it will naturally kill off brain cells. During this process the weakest cells are obviously removed. Leaving only the strongest and best...

See abebooks.co.uk - abebooks.com etc. You will find undamaged and perfectly good Access books at way less than new. It is a fact that many language books aren't actually read cover to cover. Pick up a few at little cost. Don't buy any with less than 800 pages because they will probably not...

Hey Doc, fortunately the title of this does include for a worst joke. So 10/10 on that:)

warning strong language!

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.
