I just agree with Terry Pratchett in 'Hogfather'. "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time."

Given your age (youngster compared to lot of us here) I have real sympathy. Having programmed in at least 12 languages for more than 40 years, I forget how confusing how something that is natural to many of us can be. My advice is to start slowly with a simple printed book and practice. Most...

While we are on domain functions don't forget the niggle of DCount where zero is returned both for a result of zero, for Null (which kinda makes sense although strictly mathematically wrong), AND for any other error!

Just not true -1 (Byte value Hex FF) , with 0 Byte value Hex 00) had been the standard since the 1970s when single signed bytes were used to represent Boolean in systems, which had no intrinsic Boolean data types. Access just followed the norm when it was being created in the late 1980s, and VB...

Let's face it the only reason for Trump's behaviour in effectively supporting Putin is to give legitimacy to his intentions to invade neighbouring countries (Greenland and Panama).

Absolutely correct reply as far as it goes. However, if you go to 'This PC' in Explorer it shows all attached drives

I had a wonderful time with our National Savings & Investments. I don't login more than twice a year to get my current list of Bonds. However, I hadn't logged in for about a year and they'd changed to login process to require a mobile phone number which I didn't have recorded. Hence I wanted...

My go-to for finding 'lost' files is Agent Ransack - very fast and flexible searches.

Have enjoyed this thread although my taste in quotes/sayings/aphorisms is humourous rather than 'deep' 'What is this wasn't a rhetorical question?' Or the Tom Lehrerism 'Life is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it'

Similar - there are three kinds of mathematicians: those who can count and those who can't!

I tried a couple of cigarettes and didn't like them in 1959, and never since and I'm now 77. However, for decades, I like everyone else, worked and played in smoke filled environments so I wonder how much damage I suffered. Both my brothers smoked heavily: one died of heart disease at 69 and...

Reminds me of a teacher school who threatened us with 'castigation and chastisement'(y)

AI is great but I much prefer the way my wife misunderstands thing !

This really is Rule #1 for any database you are considering. Possibly Rule #1a is that if you can do it on paper, do you get anything from doing it on Access? The the school example here almost certainly yes, but surprisingly often the answer is no.

As I said in my first post the importance of terminology to the thread of better security is low! I suggest we cease the dialog and agree to differ, as it is just niceties and if and when we need to use the terms we explain what we mean. I certainly don't wish the dialog to deteriorate as...

Sorry but this not the accepted meaning in security seervices - and incidentally why they are called factors. ID is the first factor, password the second. That's why the term three factor was invented in the 1970s. I agree it has suffered drift since - see Wikipedia for instance, which can't...

That's 3 factor.

I don't know if we have discrepancy between US and UK or just different individual usage but by my understanding AWF is 2-factor (userid and password). Not that this very minor question has any relevance to the threads emphasis on security, which I totally endorse.

As for three factor authentication just don't lose your mobile phone! Like the 400 a day in London!

I assume you are referring to fatuous - yet another everyday word! Yet again two countries divided by a common language to quote Winston Churchill.
