    Thanks - I'll have a look but as they are all mine and as I never installed a VPN I don't hold out much hope.

    Solved Any advice welcome

    Any advice (polite and anatomically possible) about a weird problem. On one of PCs my mapping to my NAS has suddenly failed and I can't re-map it, whereas the other PCs (One Win 10 and one Win 11) no problems. I can still see the NAS on the other PC using a UNC path. Given I normally use UNC...

    A good author of readable books but he hardly invented conspiracy theory - Karl Popper is the earliest recorded user of the phrase. And as for conspiracy theory as a concept it's been around for ever. Witchcraft?

    The end is nigh !

    The quote I cling to is from the Burial Service in the book of common prayer (Psalm 90). " The days of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are...

    Solved Does Access Support ANY Keyword in its Queries?

    ANY is a predicate and works perfectly well. The reason you don't see it often is that it works practically the same as the IN predicate. The latter gained prominence because a number of early implementations of SQL (pre-SQL standards) did not include ANY.

    Unable to delete record due to record lock

    A comment in passing. Access doesn't actually lock records but pages - not usually a problem but two or more small records may be using a single page in memory.

    Why AutoCAD is not feasible enough to learn for a common person?

    The real reason it's not feasible/suitable for common usage is that its not what it was designed for. My son-in-law who is a ventilation engineer uses it all the time but he has 1) the real need for its facilities and 2) all the necessary paraphernalia such as flatbed printers etc to fully use...

    Setting the heading on a report from a combi field on a form

    Talking to yourself ?

    The trouble with man-splaining is that the most common cry I heard from females ( in my post retirement job doing admin in a school) was that "nobody has shown me how to do it!". An even bigger crime was to suggest that they read the manual!

    Support for Forms and Reports on Large Monitors has appeared on the Access Roadmap

    In passing I am constantly amazed at just how good KitaYamas English is. Of course there will be misunderstanding on occaission - think just how easy it is for Brits and US posters to misunderstand each other and allegedly we both speak the same language!

    Talking to yourself ?

    What worries me when I talk to myself is I still don't get get a sensible answer! And I am very careful when I talk to my computer as I remember the first rule of dealing with machines - never let them know you are in a hurry.
