    Reporting Phishing emails

    Hi all, I have seen where Amazon, eBay, Paypal, and most banks have email accounts where you can forward phishing emails that you receive. I was wondering if there is really any value in this to them, or is it something to make end users feel like they are helping. Thanks for any insight...

    Why would you do that?

    It is usually easy to find things that show you "how" to do something, but there is much less that indicates "why" you would want to do something. I am wondering if someone in their wanderings has come across a site, a book, a blog, a podcast, whatever the format, that discusses different...

    Hi all, I am working on a Data Entry project in VS 2005, so .Net 2.0. Some of the pages will have quite a few dropdown lists that get their values from a database.

    detect changes in unbound form

    I know with a bound form you can use me.dirty to catch if the record has been changed, but is there a way to do the same thing with an unbound form, short of manually checking each field vs old values?

    Default value turning string to number

    OK, I don't believe that is quite what is happening, but I can't find where it is being changed.... Here's the situation: I have a field called ServicesID that looks like 1-01. It is a string value. When the user adds a new record, they can continue with the same ServicesID, and I use the...

    Hi everyone. I have three computers: a windows laptop, a linux box, and a windows desktop. I was recently tasked with coming up with a web filtering solution to prevent a 12 year old boy from looking for the sorts of things 12 year olds sometimes look for. I have managed to hack around my...

    Calling access functions from Outlook

    Hi, I have a different take on the email thing. Basically what I want to do is setup a recurring task on the Outlook calendar, use it to call a function in Access that exports a report, and then email the report. I know I can setup a "shadow" database that, when opened, has a form that links to...

    forwarding messages to another user

    Hi, I hope you can help. We (the IT staff) have just been told to forward a user's email address to their immediate supervisor (apparently they have been canned), but we (the IT staff) don't know much of anything about Exchange as the person who set it up and supervises us was in a bad car...
