    Unable to Send SMTP E-mail

    I generate e-mails automatically by using an SMTP object. This works fine from my own computer but when I use a virtual server I receive the message "A program is trying to send an e-mail message on your behalf.." which I then need to allow manually. Is there any way to get around this?

    Focus Shifting when Using SMTP protocol to send e-mail

    I have a program that generates e-mails automatically using the SMTP protocol. My problem is that if I am working on the same machine, the e-mails being generating gain focus, so what I am typing goes into the automatically generated e-mails. Is there anyway to prevent the focus from shifting...

    Texas abortion law

    The Texas Heartbeat Bill provides a method that if upheld allows a state government to negate any constitutional right, in effect repealing the 14th amendment. The whole "private action" workaround could be used to ban guns for example. In addition, allowing lawsuits by anybody, for damages...

    Refer to a cell in a table imported fromExcel

    I have faced the same problem, which I solved by computing an average cost/lb for each zone and a per carton charge. The results were in a few % and I rounded it up to the nearest whole dollar. It was good enough for our purposes.

    Sending Keystrokes & Clicks to Websites and Selenium

    For more than a year, I have been using Selenium VBA to automate website interactions. Sometimes this works really well but for other websites there seems to be no way of getting the correct interaction to take place purely through Selenium. Yes, I know about frames. Can anyone suggest a...

    Solved Unrecognised Database Format

    I used to have frequent problems with database corruption, which ended with a major office update last year. So the usual advice applies, make sure everyone is running the latest version of Access and update the old MDB files..

    Order Status Display

    I would not expect a Product_Code to be a number or an autonumber field. The normal purpose of a Product_Code is to provide the ability to create summary information. I would expect it to be something descriptive about the group of products, not an arbitrary code. You have fields called...

    Clean address info via query?

    This sort of issue is backend specific. Personally, I would hesitate to change more than 10,000 records at once. My earlier suggestion about being careful had an error in them (proving my point). You need to constrain the records for some queries. " ST" is OK in the middle of the field but not...

    Sorting addresses?

    Their answer is not wrong. In Queens, NY it is common to have addresses with a hyphen before the street (like 12-26). How do you sort non-numbers numerically.

    Invalid ID field name

    If you have 90 fields most of which are unique to single record, then they should not be fields at all. You should have a "Comments" field with a "Long Text" type where you can enter free-form information.

    Average of Production Lots

    I came across the following curious situation at work. I need to compute the average lot size of parts being produced. The obvious thing would be to divided the total number produced by the number of orders. However, my interest involves setup costs, so it is more logical to ask for the each...
