I fondly remember the last time my boss carped about OT and lack thereof, general lateness, 24/7 support... I ran a report based on the company security system listing the hours I spent at the office - over 40 per week. I didn't wait for the boss to comment. I cut my hours to 40 per week and...

Pete: It sounds like you were in New York city. The guy in the men's room used to hand you a towel (white cloth) brush your coat and make certain you were well turned out when you left. For his service, you gave him some change, generally less than a dollar. These days I couldn't tell you...

If the money and benefits are in line, I'd take the university job in a New York minute. You can increase your skill set, get more time off and work on a Masters degree. The only reasons I would pass on the university job are terrible working conditions or a terrible salary. I would not...

Free advice is worth exactly what you've paid for it. Good or not, the advice was given freely and without coercion (I hope). Tell your friend that you appreciate his offer, but that you can't afford him this year. You're in business to make money, and there isn't a thing wrong with that...

Swi, Completing a project is no problem. Tell them that if they use the results and they don't hire you, they have to pay an hourly rate. Personally, I wouldn't work directly for a company that has a lot of contractors on site. They're short sighted and will likely consider you a low priced...

I’m using VFP7 with Windows 2000 with Terminal Server 2003. The application is a Word document retrieval system, and has a command button which allows the user to send a selected document to a user specified printer. The code involved is: lc_printer = Getprinter() oWord =...

The Ohio House and Senate just passed legislation against spammers. It's sitting on Taft's desk waiting for him to sign it, which he probably will. I don't think the Lycos system will achieve anything useful. If the government really wanted to stop spam, it would prosecute the coporations...

benvegiard, It's all in the presentation. If you can start having lunch with folks from the marketing department, do so. They'll help you out on your presentation and may even help you practice. Keep in mind that this DBA may have a bad attitude in general, so any response that doesn't...

Thanks Ramani! You made my life a lot easier! Like Jimoo I really enjoy the choice you presented, and your code is easy to read. One more star for your efforts.

Rick, Mike, Thanks. I'm dropping the field as you suggest. Thanks again for your time and help. Bill

Mike: I'm using VFP 8 sp 1, and I looked at database events but I can't seem to find the event that fires after a record is updated. I must be looking past it somehow. Which event do you suggest?

I’m using VFP 8 sp 1 on Windows 2000 pro. I have a database and a table within the DBC with the following structure: cost N(4,2) price N(4,2) profit N(4,2) since profit is price minus cost, I’d like to automatically update the field profit whenever cost or price change. I’ve tried...

In the company where I work two items are made clear to all employees. One, don't send anything in Email that you would not shout in a crowded room. Email isn't mail and it isn't private. Two, hardware that belongs to the company includes the content of the HD, cookies and all. No personal...

Mgagnon, Criagsboyd, thanks for the help! I used the repaginate method and it worked great. Thanks again.
