    Why does my database appear blank for another user?

    I may be totally wrong on this one, but I have only seen the secure content message when something is being accessed via the web. How is she trying to connect to the MDB file? Does she have Access installed? What does her "empty" database look like? Are there tables? If there are tables...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    I have to point out the fallacy in the idea that the poor are lazy. Yes, there is a segment that thinks the world owes them a living and will do nothing for their dole. No doubt about it. But the numbers of the "working poor" are far greater. And there is no doubt in my mind that these...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    What I inferred from your post was that you look down on those who are poor, who are disadvantaged and have less than you do and that you look with admiring eyes on the wealthy. That you have no desire to help those who are poor but rather, you offer full support to the wealthy to keep them...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    the_net, methinks you suffer from a severe case of MAS (Marie Antoinette Syndrome). "What? The poor have no food? Let them eat cake!" Be careful that the cure is not the same as hers! There are many reasons for being "poor" and the reasons you claim is certainly among them, but in reality...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    Steve, you say that "transference of wealth" is taxing a certain segment of the population and giving the collected money to the "disadvantaged" target group. But then your argument breaks down when you say we are giving money to the "disadvantaged" is money we don't even have, so it is not a...

    Complexity of United States tax code

    I have often wished for a legislative moratorium for 10 years that would go something like this: For every new law passed, you must repeal 2 old ones. After the moratorium it would just be a one for one replacement. That would apply to all laws and all levels of government. I figure it would...

    What happened to Adam?

    The subject noun or pronoun has also been banned in 13 countries. But very different ones.

    Evolution is Wrong...interesting video

    Much of evolution happens because of mutations. Mutations can be large or small changes in the individual species. Depending on conditions, they can happen frequently to multiple individuals or infrequently to just a few. Radical mutations generally are not viable and do not survive to...

    The Baker Street I had in mind is in Piscataway.

    Complexity of United States tax code

    The complexity of tax laws are such that, no matter how consciencious, careful and honest you are, you are almost sure to be in violation of many of them. Maybe that's the purpose!

    What happened to Adam?

    Sure I do. There's England, Wales, Scotland, Cornwall, Essex, Isle of Wight, Guernsey, Texas, North Dakota, Alabama, Madiera, Milan and Baker Street.

    How's that?

    What happened to Adam?

    Can I get a banned alternate name as well? Seems to be a status symbol! (Just kidding of course - don't ban me, please!)

    What's your best/worst joke?

    I'd say it meant we didn't understand the racial one. Never heard of a "golly" or "gollywog" here.

    What's your best/worst joke?

    I am definitely NOT of the younger generation. In addition, I grew up in the Deep South before and during the Civil Rights years... and I didn't get it either. Thanks for explaining publicly. Still not funny though.

    Is there a "Properties" book or something?

    Where would you find a free version? I only see a $99 single user version, $399 five user version and "free" trial.

    Evolution is Wrong...interesting video

    Really? The ants in my garden sometimes bite me. That's not very worshipful. I wonder what their bible is like? Are we all one God to them or are we a pantheon? So many little ant spirituality questions I'd like to ask!

    What's your best/worst joke?

    So Clearance and John live on either side of the river from each other and they fight constantly. Clearance is always throwing rocks or wood or just anything he can lift and throw over the river to hit John with. These two hav been bickering for years. DOT comes along and puts up a sign that...

    Moan time - D/B fell over when adding code

    au contraire! Had it been a woman it would have been MONTHS, if ever. But had it been a man, then the apology would have been immediately accepted (and the database still would not be working). That's the great thing about computers. They are neither.
