Yes, you know the Brits propensity for adding unnecessary letters to the simpliest of word, such as "programme", "colour" and "aluminium"... :p

Ignoring the misspelling on "sense", that should be "programmes" should it not? :D

Let be known to all concerned that I have high regard for the English people and government. Recent comments by me were tongue-in-cheek in response to friendly (I hope) anti-American comments. In no way were they meant to offend. In regards to the language, however, I will venture to say that...

You got me there, Rabbie. Or a cowboy like King George of the U.S. But poor Col would have never arrived that that brilliant comeback.

Really? It would be less effort if you merely changed the channel instead of turning it over. I think perhaps you have a floater in your dinges over the terrible humiliations your country suffered in the 18th, 19th and 20th century. Must be tough losing an empire and embarrassing to still...

Here is an aid for any not-Brits reading this thread, in case you would like to find out what they are saying: http://www.translatebritish.com/dictionary.php Blooming nora, they are bloody-well arsed, aren't they?

To that I can only say "God Save The Queen", whatever that means. Blimey, you blokes are a daft lot. :eek:

Interesting that the entire world uses "English" as a near universal language - and it is American English in the majority of instances. So it appears when Britian lost the war, they also lost the language. Too bad.

You could also use an autonumber for this, starting at whatever value you want, and then simply prepend the "Q" and append the "C" when you need to display the numbers in your app. The Q and C would exist nowhere but in your display (or in a "calculated" field in a query of you need a tabular...

You can't simply rename a jpg to a bmp and get it to work. You will need to convert it to a .bmp (Windows Bitmap) type using any of the thousands of graphics converters out there.

You are right, it cannot be ruled out. But something with such a defniitely effect should be pretty easy to justify. Find a telepath and let them tell me what I (or any test subject) is thinking. Has yet to be done under laboratory (or any verifiable) conditions, whereas quantum mechanics...

A couple was delighted when finally their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption centre called and told them they had a wonderful Japanese baby boy, and the couple took him without hesitation. On the way home from the adoption centre, they stopped by the local college so they...

Well, no... an Access frontend is a desktop application and, as such, needs some type of network connection to the database, whether it be VPN, IP, or whatever. Frontpage was a design application that offered a way to transfer files back and forth over HTTP. If you want to use a Web...

I am not going to address how to use a SQL Server for an Access back end. That is addressed here in many places. What I think you are really asking is "How can I access a SQL Server database through HTTP using Access?". If that is truly your question then the answer is, you cannot. It does...

Bravo for you, Thales. I could not have said it better. The growing wealth of the ultra-rich is rapidly creating a vacuum in our society as the wealth is sucked upward into these rarified strata. No much can come from the poor as they have already been sucked dry, so it now must come from the...

The problem with this system (and almost any other long-standing system you can name) is that we will never replace the old with new. It will simply take too many resources and too much time. Yes, in the long run it costs much more to maintain and patch the old, but the upfront costs of...

Now THAT'S a good one! Isn't it amazing the reaction you get when they discover that you know the tenets of their religion better than they do? Insane, it might interest you to know that when I was a young man I thought of going into the ministry. I was what was known as a "Jesus Freak" in...

Insane: since I am not a Christian, I can judge whoever I choose. But since you claim you are a Christian, you should stick to the tenets of your faith, unless you are one of those sho merely pick and choose which parts to follow. Or it might just be you have totally forgotten all the...

So what makes you different than those the colonists overthrew, who had the "divine right" to be rich? Or the despots, emperors, tyrants, etc who thought it was their "right" to be rich and powerful at the expense of the rest of the population? You claimed to be a Christian and yet you side...

Insane, you make it sound as if it is simple to CHANGE WHAT YOU DO TO EARN MORE, as if you could walk into the corner convenience store and pick up a job that makes a lot of money. Pure balderdash! The "system" has evolved to such a point where it is rigged so that the rich get richer and the...
