Sorry folks, Access World will not accept my posts (5 Viewers)

@CJ_London, what happened to the Fake MVF thread?... it's gone!... Did Gremlins invade AWF and wreaking havoc?

 

[BlueSpruce]

I've been scratching my head over this too. Can't you sign up for notification? Here (Canada) we can and even specify the type of recalls you want to be notified of.

Maybe @DakotaRidge wants history of recalls for statistical purposes, and track family members impacted by recalled products?... The links to past recalls might also no longer be available?

 

[CJ_London]

Short answer is I don’t know

Thanks! Despite this thread being hijacked from why Dakota could no longer post to his two threads, which @Jon solved, @DakotaRidge and I are very interested in examining all possibilities for implementing controls with multiselection capability and store those values in normal child tables. I think these are the most comprehensive discussions I have ever seen regarding Access MVF workarounds.

It looks like the system quotes previous replies. I don't do it. I am happy to type "BlueSpruce #460". But Jon is correct, I didn't realize this for several days. I got it now.

@BlueSpruce and @DakotaRidge ,
I created this thread for all things related to using MVFs and how they work.

MVF Discussion and Uses (If you plan to Use Them)

Since there is a lot of discussion now on MVF, I created this thread to provide discussion on what you can do with them and how to use them. There is plenty of discussion of the cons of MVF and what you cannot do with them, so no need to rehash that here. But assuming you are planning to use...

www.access-programmers.co.uk

People can provide examples like doing recordset manipulation and query manipulation.
Hopefully it does not become a discussion on the limits and cons of MVF because that discussion can be found everywhere.

 

[BlueSpruce]

Agreed, from now on I will post MVF discussion in @MajP's new

Form Design to Allow Multiple Selections (Add your Ideas)​

thread. So can someone update status of this long original thread to "Solved"?

Someone asked to see the message that AW sends when it blocks a post, here's what I just received when I responded to a reply in another thread. All I did was thank someone for his help. Perhaps he had something in his text. I removed his text, and it worked.

His quoted text contained URL links, and you haven't reached the 100 posts threshold. So it's not going to let you post until the links are removed, or you reach the 100th post mark.

On UA you had to specifically use Reply with Quote I seem to recall?
If you want to post the way you did there, then just start a new post, in the area at the bottom of the thread.

I prefer the way it is done here. You can always delete non pertinent words.

Thanks, Doc_Man. We were 40 posts into a very informative conversation when I got locked out. Others were able to continue posting, but I was the one who started the conversation. I couldn't tell anyone that I was still alive and kicking. I could have passed on and people could have continued teaching me about code and MVFs.

This happened to me twice. The time I was trying to learn about using animation in an Access database. I have seen presentations about using animation, but I am not a master at it. I am sure someone in the community knows a lot more about .Move statements than I do.

Try sitting in a different chair

CAN AN ADMIN MOVE THIS POST TO SITE SUGGESTIONS?

1. How bad was spamming before implementing the 100 posts rule?

2. How effective in preventing spamers on this site has restricting new members from posting links until they reach 100 posts ?

3. Is a maintained list of keywords used for always preventing posts and links?

4. Have any members spammed after reaching 100 posts?

5. Are all files scrutinized before being uploaded to this site?

6. Have any members been identified as bots?

I don’t know about others but I think this thread has run its course (and then some). This should have been posted in the Site Suggestions forum. This is similar to the great idea to create a new thread regarding MVFs.
