    POLL: Access users on this forum

    I learned VB, Access, C, Cobol and Oracle in college. I first worked with VB since I wasn't very good with databases and C and Cobol were obsolete, but there was more work with databases than pure programming. Since Access was closer to VB than Oracle, I followed that path. I started visiting...

    Games In Excel, Word And Access

    It is not a game, but wanted to share with you. I once had a full page of text in Word, with at least 2 letters out of three missing. We had to find out what the text was all about. Since I was the only one with any computer knowledge, I found out pretty fast but no one else did. They were so...

    Things I nearly did right

    Just remember another one... I had a meat cardboard box on the floor with plastic straps on it. I didn't want to use my very sharp knife to cut them, so I used a dull one. But it was so dull that instead of cutting the strap, it slided upon it 'till it went right into my calf. That was in the...

    Things I nearly did right

    My first job as an helper in a meat shop in a big market place at 15 years old. I asked the manager what I should use to clean the floor. He said: "Mix the soaps with hot water." Went in the back store to find three gallons: Soap A, Soap B and Chlorine... Yes, I mixed them all, including the...

    Business Ethics

    Of course not, after all I am a programmer. But when the boss of a big company that makes millions ask if you could build a program to get rid of his employees, it is kind of working against the society itself. I am not talking about someone who's business is in jeopardy and would have to cut...

    Reference problem in an MDE.

    Thank you Bob! I didn't quite understand the text from the first link you sent me. (My English is not very good or my Access knowledge is underneath what I thaught it was.) All I understand is that it is better to use «VBA.FunctionName» or «Access.FunctionName» than just the function name. I...

    Business Ethics

    There is a practice that I've learned in my computer science classes. "The program you build shall be made to help the users in their every day work, not to replace them and have them get fired." Can someone refuse to develop an application if it is well known that it's main purpose is to get...

    Reference problem in an MDE.

    Hi, I have created an mde that was installed on more than 30 computers. All of them work fine but one who gets a message saying that there is a broken or missing reference. How can I repair this knowing that I cannot access the references in a mde? Thanks!

    Who actually LOVES their job?

    Most of the time I enjoy what I do. The only thing is that it brings me a lot of stress and I am not good at dealing with it. So when there is trouble ahead, my girlfriend gets to deal with a grumpy man. But she is very nice and knows how to calm me down. For those who don't know yet, I have an...

    300 Movie

    Not yet, but it seems to be great. But I think it is a movie that has to be seen at the theater. I am not sure that without the big screen it will be as good. BTW, all the specialFX were made here in Quebec. Yeah!:cool:
