    Let's rebuild!

    It wasn't me who suggested moderating it ;) I suggested binning it all together :eek: :D I don't have anything to get over and as for the real world well... my life doesn't actually involve circular arguments for 2 years about 1 subject sorry for you if that's your life :p It's just got really...

    Let's rebuild!

    Hi, I've used this forum in one guise or another for 5 years. I was sad to get the e-mail from the knob that hacked the site what a waste of effort! Anyway i hope it all gets up and running soon. TBH the loss of the watercooler would be no bad thing. Sad to say but it's stopped being much fun...

    Are not the middle classes primarily the supporters of a government who's policies and stance towards big business create this situation. Is it not also the case that the Middle class are the primary investors with both personal and pension investments in these companies stock? TS

    It's interesting that you mention Katrina. In the Katrina thread there were advocates for the view that many of the victims were people unwilling to help themselves. We were told that they had become dependant on a culture of welfare and expected the government(s) to bail them out of the crisis...

    Excluding Dates problem - syntax

    Put this into a new field in the query. Replace LEAVEDATES with the fieldname This should show you what the database thinks is in your field by calculating the difference between the dates selected and today's date. DATE_DIFF_FIELD: DateDiff("d",[LEAVEDATES],Date()) PS I would change your...

    Firstly I think any discourse on this subject is going to be a simplification. viz your second paragraph, This unabated...... But i'd like to think its a masterly summing up :D [Joke] Secondly the US has the biggest % of private citizens investing in the stock market of any country. Unless you...

    There is a flavour of hypocrisy to some of the replies in this thread. The West particularly the US has championed free market economics across the world. This has more often than not benefited rich countries who can use there greater economic leverage to prevent fair competion. A good example...

    Percentage Based on adjacent Column

    This might be of use. The first query works out the individual counts of the results for each question i.e.for question 100 how many are A how many are B. The second query Counts the total number of answers given for each question. The third query works out the percentage by dividing query...

    Returning all dates between two dates in the same record?

    Len as usual your a genius :D First Query lets me select all the dates for a given member of staff and for a given leave type i.e. annual leave :) SELECT TBL_DATES.LEAVEDATES, TBL_LEAVE.LEAVE_TYPE_ID, TBL_LEAVE.STAFF_ID FROM TBL_DATES, TBL_LEAVE WHERE...

    Database closes on save of query: how do I stop this happening

    Hi, Access limits nested iif's to 7. It maybe that you have hit an unhandled error that's causing it to crash. Try - for the sake of experimentation - to reduce the nesting to 5 for example and see if this causes the same error. TS

    Returning all dates between two dates in the same record?

    Hi, Please bear with me here as it's a little involved. I'm doing a staff profile website which includes a section where they can enter their annual/other leave details. I decided to store their leave in two fields Start_Date | End_Date rather than each individual date that they took - the...

    Is that symbolization necessary? As you state they were aware of the concept of nothing. Is the lack of a token in itself symbolic and the ulimate in abstract. The lack of tablet called 0 could be because their mathematical structure had a place for an empty space. The lack of a tablet was...

    Sun Getting Smaller

    Actually it's a question that has been asked for quite sometime. Quantum physics and Relativity are physics of the early 20th century. For the last 80 odd years we've been using them to understand the universe but we've not been able to unite them. I've been reading about brane theory. It's...

    Sort of. I think that the Universe is made up of more than the observable portion. The Universe defines everything in it and the way it's done so prevents us from having the tools to understand all of it. The description of the sum of all the observable parts of the Universe is less than the...

    What i was trying to show was that we already know now - not in 100,000 years time - that the universe is expanding. Hubble found that out by experimentation in 1929 -iirc - we have the hubble constant as a result. I don't actually think that it is strange. You need to be clear about what you...
