    veeery slow to boot up

    This morning my desktop seemingly wouldn't finish booting up. I went into safe mode and everything was fine. Ran sfc /scannow from command prompt opened as admin. No good. Meaning it didn't help. Decided to let it go longer and see what happened. Got distracted by various things. About 2.5...

    Inactive step of job

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, but I would like to make a certain step of a job I have inactive. I don't want to get rid of it, but I want it not to run. Maybe I can just set the step before to go to the step after the inactive one on success and failure.

    Alternating colours in cross tab report

    I want to alternate colours in my cross tab. I have found this thread: thread149-1166557 But, it doesn't quite do what I want. First of all, how can I make it grey instead of yellow? Second of all, I have suppressed zeros, but this messes up the colouring. It only works if the zeros are...

    I have a table that has items, prices and the dates the prices were from. How can I build a query that will give me each item, the most recent cost and the date it was used? There should only be one instance of each item.
