I'm new (and still shiny)

[Joe Boatman]

I've retired from Access Database work. I have loads of routines that I want to publish in order to help others and save them hundreds of frustrating hours of VBA coding. So in January, I created a website on Google Sites thinking that Google would crawl all over it and this would benefit others - but since its inception in January, the total number of visitors, is, ZERO and it's not even possible to search for a phrase that I know is on that site! I'm hoping that here I can create articles and upload code that put the many VBA irritants in Access melt before your eyes! Ho ho! This is not a good start - this forum cannot publish my text because it is "spam-like or contains inappropriate elements." No hints on why. I guess that taming this entry is like all the years I've been taming VBA.

I'll remove the hyperlink to my Google Sites website. Ah, now it's OK

Hi Joe. Welcome to AWF!

Joe,
We have had a fair few spammers recently posting links, so Jon the site owner has put a limit, before you can post any links. I believe it is 10 at present.

Welcome, as well. It is a pleasant change to get a new member who is giving rather than just taking.

Seems you might have already helped a another new member.?

Welcome Joe. Glad to have you aboard.

 

[Joe Boatman]

Thank you Gasman

Thank you Uncle Gizmo - I appreciate your reply, especially after getting no views at all on Google Sites website which is at www.adrianprice.co.uk (if you can re-assemble that). At least if you visit it I will get 1 hit!!

Do you think the site owner could have trusted contributors? Anyway, your guidance will be very helpful.

Aha! I posted it without getting told off

Joe, welcome to AWF.
If I may, I have a request about your posts - if you must colour your text, please consider how it looks for those of us who use the dark theme here. I have to assume you did that because only your first post has different coloured text. Blue is not impossible to see but you can probably imagine what black font looks like to those of us on the dark side and we get that one sometimes. Actually, the picture I'm posting seems to look much better than the real thing so trust me when I tell you that real thing is harder to read than what this pic indicates.
Thanks in advance.

Many years ago a guy used integer for an employee number where I worked. Since those numbers are never used again, the count just kept climbing until one day, the value surpassed the limit and his db stopped working, raising that error. Since he was gone and I was an Access go-to guy, I had to through his various db's and change the property. Moral of the story - integer is fine for some things like loop counters, but I see limited use as a table field property if at all.

Hi Joe
Belated welcome to AWF.
You now have another website hit as I've just had a look at your site.
I will send you a comment about some of the items in the next day or so.

If you intend to be an AWF regular, you could add a link to your website in your signature line...as I do below

Joe, i had a look at your website too & have added it to my favourites. As an enthusiastic amateur, i appreciate your generosity. I wish i were in a position to 'give back' to the community. Cheers.

Hello, Joe, and welcome to the forum.

I retired over 5 years ago but I still visit, still post suggestions, still pass along what little wisdom I can muster on a typical day.
