Coming to a country near you, a digital ID. The digital ID concept was originally formulated and exported from Davos, Switzerland. It forms the key component of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) vision for the ‘fourth industrial revolution’ and their stated transhumanistic objectives. They...

Take care before scanning QR codes. Apparently on some car parking sites the QR codes for the car park company are being covered over with another that will take your details and extract hundreds, or an amount that they expect to be paid. So they think that they've paid £5 to park but when...

Apparently some guy has jumped on the Royal bandwaggon with a book on the Royal Family. Although what experience and qualifications he has to do this appears flimsy at best. He's apparently referred to as Megan's mouthpiece in the media. I don't know his name and don't have any interest in...

I presume that this full screen that popped up on a not often used laptop is a scam? After closing the screen I went to Security Updates in Windows and installed an update. So as expected the message was wrong

Apparently scammers have infiltrated Google’s security to place fake adverts for Notepad++ in its search results. Malwarebytes the scam adverts have been online for months. It is thought by clicking them leads to your PC being infected by ransomware. The adverts all appear under Google’s...

Microsoft have updated Notepad in Windows11 and it is now a real pain to use. What was wrong with the way it worked before? Another example of an improvement that is a retrograde step for no purpose.

The other week UPS came with a parcel for me and wanted to take my photo’, which I refused and put my hand in front of the camera. I then realised later that this wasn’t the first time. They may well have the camera ready as you open the door and take it as the first operation. Today Royal Mail...

A Carrington Event solar storm would wipe out electrical substations leaving your computers and mobiles disabled, or destroyed. Are all your bank and investment details stored digitally? Rendering them inaccessible and deniable. Do you have paper backups of your financial details? Would all of...

It is always irritating to see interest free adverts because they simply cannot be correct. I cannot buy from companies or stores who offer interest free because they inflate their prices in order to offer interest free deals. I don’t want 3 years credit. If I want anything from a car to a...

Just wondering if anyone has switched an Access program into jam.py application builder or Tkinter. Or used either as an alternative.

I have decided that no longer will I read online newspapers, or any news online for that matter. (Except maybe for some sport.) By not doing so I won't waste way over an hour every day. I have never been involved in what is called social media. Which would be better described as Stasi Media, or...

I have a report and I wanted to fill fields in the Header before printing using various DLookup() operations and other calculated fields. These are all in the Report Load(). If I run the report by double-clicking, or run it with DoCmd.OpenReport "R34_Test", acViewPreview it is fine. However...

I Want to transfer the field contents to memory variables and to do that I presume I'll need to convert a Variable to a Literal. In the olden days with Clipper87 I'd just prefix with an ampersand to do that but I've never noticed anything like it in other languages I've used. I've shown a...

Surely 100% of the people who open a website only want to see the default of everything being switched off, not switched on. Who in their right minds would volunteer to be spied upon more, rather than less? So why annoy us all by wasting our time in forcing us to click everything off before we...

Whilst a hacker could view memory variables from a running accde application, does anyone think it is possible to see the value of a hidden field on an open form? Whether the form itself is hidden, or not.

I can move an Object around the Detail section of a form with VBA but I can't just see how to move it from the Detail section to the Header or Footer section. If I manually shift the Object into the Header, I can then move it about there but as I say failing to move it from Detail to Header, or...

Is it possible to buy a legal and recent copy of Access on a CD? All the copies appear to be download only these days.

Whilst I can specify a specific pattern for a Wildcard search using LIKE, I need to allow the user to use a Wildcard entry of WORD*WORD or *WORD*WORD* in a Query. As a For-Instance; in bank imports NS&I can be referred to as NS&I, NS+I, or NS +I and from the imports what I want is to use are...

In the olden days using dBASE Tables I experienced errors and sometimes corruption using the somewhat strangely named MEMO type fields in Tables. After I removed all of the MEMO fields from the dBASE tables the problems went away. When I moved to Access I then tried the Memo field in the .MDB...

This has probably been there for ever but I've only just found it. I have a complex function that concatenates a contiguous string, that I have used for some time in another language. I have just converted it into Access and it was falling about, for no apparent reason. In this routine at...
