    Mobile Calls via VOIP

    I just 'upgraded' my VoIP. voipcheap.com have just started a 2 EURO per month service with free UK landline and mobile calls. I also use localphone.com for my DDI number. I am (primarily) UK based but use the service from the US also. Just to give an idea, I spend 7 months in the UK and 5...

    Google Home Mini Diatribe

    I did check niftywalks.com and it says it is registered. I don’t understand the delay, unless it was registered elsewhere perhaps... niftywalks.org is available if that’s of any interest...

    Success rate on collection times

    OK, with some playing, this is what I ended up with... 5 x queries, one to total the number of jobs in a month, one to total the number of missed jobs per month, one each to total those figures and one to work out the percentage missed. I didn't realise but some of the collections have...

    Success rate on collection times

    Hey guys I'm stuck and have been for several hours now trying to get this to work :banghead: I need to get a percentage figure for the success rate of collections. Certain items must be collected within a time window that can be from 1 hour to 8 hours. For a monthly report, they would like...

    It seems the US and the UK are quite similar in this respect. Be safe TDM, Barry looks like he’s going to side swipe you.

    Volume tracker in access

    This will need to come to you mike60smart. I'm done with telling this person we're not about to plan / write it, we're here to help with specific code or logic issues.:banghead: There has been no attempt to try and plan / write something, just plagiarise something else with no effort on their...

    building a database from scratch

    Absolutely right! I've also noticed through my long and lustreless :o career that managers are often appointed from the jobs that they are now overseeing because they were useless doing those jobs themselves and it's cheaper in the UK to promote than it is to fire them sadly. I personally know...

    Always with the employees, never the manager except for long enough to be polite :) In my experience, managers seldom know what’s really required...

    building a database from scratch

    I personally like to spend a couple of days with the client, find out what they want to get out of it, get samples of paperwork and anything they use in the course of their real world work at this moment in time. The usual non disclosure stuff applies... Once I know what they want out of it, I...

    FE/BE Installation

    I personally use Windows scripting language with a copy of the front end sitting in an Application folder on the server. The end user double clicks what looks like an Access database icon but it really runs the script which copies the front end to their local hard disk and runs it. I only have...
