I'm a little surprised you need to ask this as it has been a standard Function in Access since day1. Maybe get a copy of the Access Language Reference, which I'm sure will be helpful? When someone starts a new computer language, I always suggest that they read the language reference if only to...

Apparently Elvis was seen wearing a Jewish Star on a chain around his neck. When he was asked about it, he explained that he wouldn't like to be refused on a technicality.

So if you cannot insure it, the vehicle only has scrap value. Unless of course you are exceedingly rich and can cover your own insurance. I know someone who had a slight bump in London some years ago. When he asked the chauffeur for their insurance details, he was told his employer provided his...

Three very expensive words "I deserve it" Back in the day, if anyone was wearing something, or had say an umbrella with a company logo on. It was a freebie from a rep. Never close to a status symbol. I still take that view today.

Exactly. Why spend money thinking you'll impress people you don't even know. But some do. Mind you so called 'prestige motors' don't break down less than a Ford. A Range Rover apparently spends 17 days a year in the workshop on average. I have a perfectly good petrol car that does everything I...

Unbelievable! Is that legal? Are these people weirdos? Maybe gathering images of children without permission. They must also be recording conversations, probably without permission. Scope for blackmail and other nefarious intent. They will know who the owner is and may well target politicians...

If I were Jesus Christ coming back with the state of the World as it is in 2025. I’d keep a low profile, work out how to avoid being called a racist, open a nice little wine bar and start working on the second book.

So the object is to increase the value cost of a car by a considerable amount. Maybe making them unaffordable to buy meaning that they would be rented. As many phones are. The rented phones are charged to include 20% interest on capital employed and more. Which is why I'll only buy a £100...

I still cannot see the point in FSD and why such huge sums are being spent on it.

A conspiracy theorist died and at the Pearly Gates St Peter told him that God would answer one question. He asked who actually killed JFK. The answer came back that it was Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone. He thought for a minute and then said "this all goes much higher than I thought"

Well it does appear you may be right from the current propaganda. Ukraine is destined to be the big loser though. If anyone in Ukraine can get their hands on some petrol, I'd advise them to get the hell out. As soon as.

Another crazy fact. Some unknown actress from a couple of mediocre TV series that nobody with any sense watches, caused a car crash because she was "over the limit" for cocaine. Apparently the she had 241mcg of the stuff in her system when the legal limit is 50mcg. How exactly can there be a...

Trump will not come to an agreement with Putin on a ceasefire in Ukraine. Putin intended from the start to take over Ukraine and nothing will deter him. It does appear that he is not restricted financially due to the sale of fossil fuels. It is claimed he is suffering huge losses but that never...

In my opinion those machines pump dozens unknown chemicals into the air which are very likely poisoning everyone in the house. It just beggars belief to me that so many people obsessed with clean air in their parks, streets and cars go home to breathe in a fog of fumes for maybe over 12 hours a...

Maybe worth a read if you still have any doubts? In summary does the following describe a bunch of clueless chancers and grifters who jumped on the bandwagon for their own enrichment and who are to this day unrepentant...
