    I need to know the going rate for a...

    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...

    ensure one field is less than the other

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

    ensure one field is less than the other

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

    I am trying to get MichaelRed's aut

    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...

    Has anyone figured out the Explorer Hang-after-delete Issue?

    Hi, 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...

    How did microsoft get so big anyway ?

    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...

    How did microsoft get so big anyway ?

    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...

    How did microsoft get so big anyway ?

    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...

    Hi, I have, with interest, been

    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...

    Hi, I have, with interest, been

    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...

    How did microsoft get so big anyway ?

    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...

    How did microsoft get so big anyway ?

    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...

    How did microsoft get so big anyway ?

    Very simple: Right Place, Right Time. MS took advantage of a very unique situation that may never occur again. The PC was beginning to boom and it was very obvious that a standard was needed. You just couldn't have Office suite developers porting their code to dozens of OS's. MS was...

    error handling duplicate entry

    tiz, Use the .Undo method then, ie: Me.Undo For the setfocus, that is a troublesome method, certain things will prevent that from happening, I can't recall the exact circumstances offhand, but I generally trap and resume next on setfocus errors. Something to look at, and this goes as a general...

    error handling duplicate entry

    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

    error handling duplicate entry

    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

    error handling duplicate entry

    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...

    Where'd they hide the Start Menu links?

    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

    Where'd they hide the Start Menu links?

    Sorry, I know it's confusing. What I'm asking is: How can I open Windows Explorer. Navigate to, say, C:\Program Files\SomeProgram\Someprogram.lnk Then take SomeProgram.lnk, still from withing Windows Explorer, and drag it to the Docs&Settings\user\StartMenu Folder? I tried exactly that and...

    Where'd they hide the Start Menu links?

    ...but this is not the MRU feature--Those links go above the start button but below that first line on the startbar. 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...
