    Question for UK members

    Well of course they leave, they get *cry face* over what he says, but like I said he's really not that bad. At least, from what I've seen, he doesn't go posting on the actual educational sections of this forum and if he has, it's not often. He really could be a lot worse, I have a number of...

    Question for UK members

    Shouldn't be banned, he's just the typical forum troll. Go to any forum and somebody will fill in that spot to try and get everyone worked up over nothing. It always gives the forum some flavor, but if it really bothers you you just have to ignore it. Not that difficult, most of the time if I...

    What's the best/worst video game of all time?

    There's that and also the updates for ease of gameplay, improving realism where it matters, and every once in a while think there are some original ideas (certainly nothing wholly original but slightly new ideas). Graphics now are absolutely incredible though. Crysis made my jaw drop but it's...

    Did you get snow?

    Did you get snow?

    It snowed that same day in Houston as well, if I'm remembering the year correctly. It made for quite an exciting day for us Houstonians. That was the first time I'd seen snow; it was right before my first ski trip.

    What's the best/worst video game of all time?

    @ ASher: I wouldn't quite relate Halo to games from 10 years before its time but I would agree that it really wasn't as amazingly epic as it was made out to be. I never got the game on PC and don't have an xbox, but I got to play the game through on a friend's console. It was entertaining, I...

    Playstation 3 Games

    Never played these but had heard that they were good so you might rent them and check them out or read up on them to see what you think: Metal Gear Solid 4 & Dead Space

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    You just said everything we just went over... did I miss something?

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    Yeah it really is quite a bit but with a 64bit cpu and os that can make use of it there's a ridiculous limit of billions of gigs or something. This seems to have gone a bit off topic lol.

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    Damn that's pretty lame. You had the right idea with the cpu. And like you said 2^32 = 4gigs or so but not to confuse anybody else, close to a gig of that is not accessible to the user but used by other system devices which is why even when you have 4 gigs in there that show up on the BIOS...

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    Sounds like you'd be fine with the 3 gigs. The 2 gig limit is pretty old and I'm pretty sure that's been taken care of but I know for sure that no 32bit will make use of a full 4 gigs, it will cap at 3.12gb. I've even had some friends say they had performance drops when they tried using 4 gb in...

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    Why in the world would he need a backplane? And why should he bother with a video card unless he was somehow going to make some sort of use of a gpu with Access? A cheap one nowadays will be more than enough if he's going to be focused on Access and he can always just upgrade it if he needs it...

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    Actually you can really only fully utilize 2 gigs of ram on most 32bit systems. On a 32bit Vista you can only make use of 3.12 gigs even if you physically have more. If you want to make full use of any more you'll have to have a 64bit system, and I think that's what you meant Minkey. In my...

    What's the best/worst video game of all time?

    Best: Counter-Strike: Source - I love this game, competitive gaming is too fun Titan Quest: Immortal Throne - Just started this one, it's like a new Diablo2 Crysis - Graphics were amazing and I can't wait for the sequel Heretic and Hexen - For getting me into PC games in the first place Metroid...

    New Computer - Optimized for MS Access

    I can't say for sure so don't hold me entirely to my word but I would guess that a fast hdd would be the main component to speed things up with a decent cpu and memory which is getting pretty cheap with all the development in future cpu's and the already available ddr3 ram. I always build my PCs...

    Saving 2007 Database as 2003

    So is this doable at all? At our office we have 2003 and 2007 being used simultaneously and since I had no experience with 2007 I decided to start working on a lot of the issues our 2007 users were finding and to get a good feel for what they were experiencing (their descriptions were pitiful at...

    Search Form Using Keywords

    Thanks for the response but it didn't help much :( I already have mine set up working pretty much the same way the example did but what I'm looking for didn't work in the example. I need a way to possibly enter more than one word in a search field, then have the subform show any results with...
