    Error with Code in Form OnCurrent

    Done, but in a less elegant way than vbaInet could manage. Well, the record sources are different. You're using tblEmpRating for "Skill Assessment", and then you're using SELECT tblEmployeeInfo.*, tblJobs.JobSite FROM tblJobs INNER JOIN tblEmployeeInfo ON...

    Are you an atheist?

    There's no problem referring to any old book, its just that people that do not believe in it will not be persuaded. As language is fluid and tends to adapt every few years, trying to comprehend a book written over 1,000 years ago is going to be full of errors and assumptions. That's why...

    socialized medicine

    I agree. I work for a hospital and I have seen our rates go up and up and up. 10ish years ago, the employees of the hospital received free medical care. Now, that same care for a family is ~$400/month. I know $400/month might not seem like much to someone not in a group plan paying...

    how accurate it is.

    You got that right. Especially when it comes to movies. I cannot tell you how many people here grimace at the thought of watching a foreign film. And American producers are all to keen to find a great foreign script and redo it for American audience. Essentially, add in more violence...

    Are you an atheist?

    @spikepl FYI - You may want to remove or replace your image in post number 2799. It made all of page 187 very burdensome to read because of horizontal scrolling. I know you're probably feeling defensive based on the way the conversation has gone, but this quote seems quite scary to me. It...

    Are you an atheist?

    The difference between believer and non-believer is stark. For a typical non-believer, faith does not enter the equation. When someone is sick, we hope they get better. For a typical believer, they pray that the person gets better. Now, if their is a divine plan laid out by the One True...

    Are you an atheist?

    It is all in good fun. I've had my share of debates with both sides (more Christians of course), and they've been fiery at times. But in my experience, the most heated debates are between 2 people of differing religions. About the only thing I can compare it to in my own life is when I was...

    Are you an atheist?

    Islamist debating with a Christian over the authenticity of their respective holy books - priceless. We non-believers can sit back on this one:p

    Are you an atheist?

    I would say that a #4 atheist is someone that does not believe in any gods, and bases that non-belief on logic and common sense. As most religions rely on magic or miracles, and there has never been documented proof of magic or miracles, the #4 atheist would assume it is a lie. #3 or #2...

    Are you an atheist?

    I know this was directed at Rabbie, but here is my take: Think of it as a 11-point scale. 11 - Diehard Religious 10 - 9 - 8 - Religious Moderate 7 - 6 - Agnostic 5 - 4 - Typical Atheist 3 - 2 - 1 - Diehard Atheist There's a difference between 4 and 1 even though both are Atheists.

    Are you an atheist?

    You've attributed a quote to me that someone else made. It all depends on what your definition of atheist is. I've always understood it to mean "doesn't believe in god". I've never heard of an atheist that held a faith-based position. Agreed. This holds for any belief, custom, practice...

    Are you an atheist?

    If that is the definition you're using, I imagine there are only a handful of atheists in the world. I've spoken with many non-believers that identified as atheists, were in their local atheist club in college, etc., and none professed this level of "faith" in their non-belief. Most would say...

    Are you an atheist?

    But "not accepting the socially accepted beliefs that exist" changes based on where you are geographically. So, based on your interpretation, can you be agnostic towards one religion or philosophy but an atheist towards another? I don't follow. One of the stipulations was: Proved it to the...

    Are you an atheist?

    To me, atheists and agnostics are one and the same. The term "atheist" has been drug through the mud so much that many people don't like to claim the title. Agnostic is sort of a polite form of non-belief. If we define atheist to be the same as poll option #1, I imagine virtually no one is an...

    Are you an atheist?

    I think it would be interesting to see a study where accessibility of education is compared to levels or professed religious belief. In other related studies, there is a connection between low levels of education and high levels of religious belief. As the internet is still relatively new, and...

    Patient Attendance Database - Dates specific for one patient shows up for all of them

    Unless the Student Database Template is based on scheduling students for classes, it is not going to accomplish what you're looking for. I'm attaching an incredibly simplistic database that should at least give you an idea of one way to accomplish this. Of course, if you were to use this...
