Be careful of comparing consulting rates and salaries. Here's some math: Compare, say, a $60,000 salary to an hourly rate, say, $50 per hour. To do apples to apples, you've got to figure 40 hours per week. As a consultant, you don't generally work fulltime--you need to spend time marketing...

Because Jet can't 'see' another field in one field's validation rule, but at the table-level it sees all fields. -jim

[Field_x]<[Field_A] This should be in the Table-level properties, not the fields. --jim

I'm not familiar with the rest of the code, but the line &quot;With tblNewQiNum&quot; should be something like: With rstNewNum ...or whatever the recordset that is being used, instead of the table name. I've seen MichaelReds stuff before and I doubt he would name a recordset with the table...

...What is it that causes Windows Explorer to hang for at least a minute or so (on a very fast machine) after deleting a group of files? This does *not* have to be a large group, and after it happens once then it happens on *any* delete--even a single file. I've seen a few posts elswhere that...

I for, one, do criticize the system as a whole. In several threads, as well as this one, I've stated that MS should be under some sort of regulation, as public utilities are. No, I'm not for big government, but as I've explained, the logistics are such that it makes sense. For someone like...

MDXer, Your foot is in your mouth, and you haven't read my posts--here or elswhere. I've *always* said here and in other posts without shame, that I do use MS products, quite a bit. That doesn't bar me from having opinions against them. And just so were clear, I'll continue to use MS...

The scary thing, being discussed in aother thread here titled &quot;Hi, I have with iterest been&quot; is the Palladium or &quot;Trusted Computing&quot; issue. Here is a case where I see WAY too much power in the hands of a few. The few being Microsoft and Intel, and a few others. The bottom...

I just did a search on 'microsoft trusted computing' and found several interesting articles. One good one is: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/rja14/tcpa-faq.html It explains that &quot;Trusted Computing&quot; is Palladium, just newly named. In my opinion, &quot;Palladium&quot; had sort of an...

Years ago (it seems, anyway) I read about something called Palladium. This sounds very similar--a chip-level copy-protection scheme. Since it's at the hardware level, then it's virtually foolproof and can't be hacked, at least not with any ease or feasibility. A paranoid thought is--what if...

jwenting, It's easy to say MS is no worse than the others when we can't really know what the others would have come up with, had they not been put out of business--many due to ms's illegal practices. MS also has stymied true innovation, by buying very innovative technologies and keeping them on...

Yes, it would be nice if, say, Redhat could find some happy medium of stability and user-friendlyness. I installed RH 6.0, then later 7.3 on one of my machines, went through all the samba stuff and got it networked with my other boxes, got mySql up, the whole bit. But it was a royal pain. For...

...is that they were the defacto standard and that is very difficult to change once the installed base gets into the millions. The fact that they *did* cheat by publishing crippled Public API's for the developers and having MS's apps use the efficient private api's is a whole 'nother issue--but...

...prefix textbox controls with &quot;txt&quot;, comboboxes with &quot;cbo&quot;, etc. Whatever your preferred prefix or naming conventions--a *control* is very different from the *control source*, and the two should never be named the same. You'll see why when you try to trim the control...

tiz, Can you describe what's happening with the code, ie why it doesn't work? I cut & pasted it and tried it, and it works *except* for the &quot;Save = False&quot; line. What is 'Save'? Is that a public variable? I commented that line out and all was fine. --Jim

Put a debug.print in the form's Error event, ie: Debug.print DataErr Then in that same event, use a case stmt (or just an IF if that's the only error you care to deal with), and set the Response value accordingly --Jim

Use the Form's Error Event. The DataError which is passed to that sub is the one you look at, I forgot the exact # offhand. You can then pop up a modal form or msgbox and upon the repsonse, set the Response argument to one of the constants, acDataErrContinue, etc. (see help for all the...

freestone, I looked in that mskb article after I sent, and saw that that explained about the 'pin to start menu' thing, so a star for that, --Jim

...and drag it to the Docs&Settings\user\StartMenu Folder? I tried exactly that and the thing doesn't show up. Also, the other links that are *on the startbar, above the MRU line* are not visible in this folder. I guess it's become more of an acedemic issue--since I know I can open the...

...Above that line are the shortcuts that stay there. Ie, when you install MS Office, this is where they put the 'Open Office Document' (does anyone *ever* use that one?). I typically put my most common shortcuts there, since I normally have many windows open at one time, and I don't like to...
