I am sorry to say but that is the same attitude that was used against Galileo. I am of the opinion that if God made something, HE has callenged us to use the gifts HE gave us to figure it all out.

Well, the balloon analogy is not a very good one. Most (but of course not all) cosmologists now agree that the universe is not a sphere but is "flat" (albeit with a curvature). The objects are moving apart (which is what causes the space between them to grow) much as the ripples on the surface...

I'd do this: If (Me.Commission_Amount.Value >= Me.Principal_Amount.Value * 0.03) AND (Me.Principal_Amount.Value > 0) Then Me.txtRedFlag8.Value = "- The Commission of the trade was 3% or greater." Else Me.txtRedFlag8.Value = "" End If

I will post some specifics hopefully after this weekend. Just wrapping up a major project here so I don't have time to sit down and think about it for the next couple of days. But basically it would entail a stored procedure that would be invoked by a trigger each time a record is posted to the...

Actually, this would be pretty easy if you were using SQL Server or another db that has stored procedures along with triggers. Well, good luck. If you are ever in Dingle, raise a pint for me. I probably will not be back for a few years.

Actually, I knew that. But I was describing the sets of data. The data is actually only meaningful if you have a defined couplet (pin 1 state, pin 2 state), organized into sets that describe the action you are measuring. That is what I was doing. So, if my description is correct, what I...

Ok, I see that I got the bug one wrong but I am more confused with your explanation. Shouldn't the data reflect the movements as such: Assumption: beam 1 is left, beam 2 is right Action: bat is flying left to right (beginning with before the bat enters the recording zone and ending after the...

And more questions: 1. What are the chances of "noise" - that is, a beam fails to trigger, a falling leaf triggers only one bean, a bat, flying at an extreme angle, triggers one beam and passes over the second, etc? 2. Are you required to maintain and consider the data in the current...

Hi, I have been following this thread with some interest because my son is a zoologist and did his master's thesis on a study of nesting habits of the lesser myotis (little brown-legged bat) and the effects of riparian cutting by a timber company. Anyway, just to make sure I have the concept...

Just as we thought! Misplaced Americans! :D

This one is more of a "Things that make you go 'HUH?'". When I was visiting Northern Ireland in 2008, most of the fast food restaurants that served breakfast were touting "Free-Range Eggs!". Now, eggs from free-range chickens I could understand, but just how far can an egg range?

Very true. I was a bit hasty in answering. A better syntax would be: Function AutoFail(CSEVal97 as Integer, CSEVal98 as Integer, CSEVal99 as Integer) as Integer If CSEVal97 = 0 Then AutoFail = 0 Else AutoFail = CSEVal98 + CSEVal99 End if End function You should test your input for nulls...

You need to declare the type for the function: Function AutoFail(CSEVal97, CSEVal98, CSEVal99) as Integer If CSEVal97 = 0 Then AutoFail = 0 Else AutoFail = CSEVal98 + CSEVal99 End if End function

=UCase([ID] & "-" & Left([fldFirstName],1) & Left([fldLastName],1) & Left(cboGender.Column(1),1)) & Format(DLookUp("[fldDateDeath]","tbl_DeathsInfo","[recordID]=" & [ID]),"mm/yy")

Welcome! Ireland is obviously one of my favorite places (see my signature below). This place is a wealth of information with many true experts in the field. I am sure you can find the help you need.

Use to have one of those cardboard-and-foil sunscreens you put behind your windshield to keep the sun from heating up your car. On the inside part it said "Warning! Remove sunscreen before driving." "Hey honey, I don't know why I can't see any oncoming cars!"

I am tasked right now with maintaining several VB.Net apps that use an Access backend with ADO. I don't know who wrote them and, in any event the authors are long gone. Each of the apps use UDL files to pass in the connection string. None are password-protected. I can't figure out why the UDL...

No good. Manure won't burn until it is good and dry.

I use a module I call "modGlobals" where I place all my globals I am going to use throughout the app, including arrays. The module contains one sub, called "initGlobals" called when the app opens to initialize values. Looks something like this: Global StringArray() As String Global gAnIntVar...

Is it a custom in your part of the world to bury survivors, since by definition they are still alive?
