    Next step..........

    Well, personally, I already knew Java before I learnt VB :D Depends which would be more useful in your chosen field. Java is used in cross-platform applications, ie where you want to be able to run it on almost any computer & operating system, and often on the web. I believe financial...

    The best FREE software thread

    Yes, sourceforge is a goldmine of opensource (= free) software. I was looking for something a little obscure - a sort of nullmodem-over-LAN program, and had only found expensive commercial programs. Then I looked on SourceForge and voila! found the perfect thing.

    What do you eat?

    Some years ago I had a fried Mars bar... it was good but was a bit too oily - I think that's what happens when the oil isn't hot enough?

    What do you eat?

    Better on what criteria? If you believe the advertising slogan, "The burgers are better at Hungry Jack's" (I agree with this actually. Just a shame that the fries & thickshakes are worse...)

    Next step..........

    If you already know VBA from Access, then a VB variant would make sense as your next language - VB.Net would be best, as people have said. From there it's not that much of a leap to C#.Net or Java, if you feel the need to learn either.

    Adding DVD burner

    Internal would be the best, and isn't that hard to do. You won't need to remove your old DVD-ROM, unless you have a small case that only has space for one drive. I'd recommend a separate port for DVD-R (and HDD, for that matter). It may be possible to connect the internal cables to a USB2 PCI...

    Best one liner in a 'cooler thread

    GML (and those that followed, but he started it), Must you pollute every thread with bickering? This thread was supposed to be for pointing out funny/witty one-liners (by others, not yourself) Next you'll be invading the "best jokes" thread :mad:

    Networking question

    Or a network "crossover" cable, if both PCs have network cards (most have them built in these days) Then you can use Windows network setup / internet connection sharing wizards to set it up. Personally I would recommend a dedicated network setup, rather than trying to do it over USB.

    Networking question

    Not possible with what you have. You need a network hub. What sort of internet connection do you have? How is it physically connected to your PC?

    Environ("Username") Gives Error

    No, the numeric code won't help you at all. Plus it isn't the same across all machines. The problem is Access's new "Sandbox" mode. It regards Environ() as an "unsafe expression", so will not let it run in queries. The way around it is to create your own function in VBA, that calls...
