Now apparently the Welsh want to ban dogs because one black African female said they worried her. But on the back of that, they have also come up with the brilliant idea that mainly white people have dogs, therefore dogs are racist. This ethnic cleansing of dogs in Wales and is their newest...

To prevent duplicate imports each import file would have a unique number. That number would be in a System File and incremented each time a new import file was created. The user would then import the records to the accounts system. Once complete they would run a batch file that renamed the .CSV...

I supplied software to quarrying and waste management companies for over 30 years without a single problem, or error. I always resisted requests to directly connect into the accounts system my customers used. In Britain they were generally SAGE and PEGASUS, plus one or two others. I didn't...

Maybe you haven't spotted it yet but this is a dedicated Access forum not a general catch all, random free IT consultancy service. Me thinks you should direct your whims or imaginings to a different forum. I doubt if anyone here has the time to provide you with the dissertation and consultancy...

I just wonder about using AI to create a serious database application at this point in time. Maybe AI can make a reasonable attempt? I don't know. We all will have had to create our own program generator for Access, or another language used. Just to avoid wasting time typing mainly the same code...

ACCDE & ACCDR are both very well documented, all you need to do is look it up.

What has Biden been up to in his time off? He looks like he's been and had his skin tightened and it's made his eyes look weird. Like an alien face you'd see in a movie from the 1950s. It looks like some has grabbed by his ears and dragged the skin on his face and then sewed it up at the back...

Have you looked at Sample Databases in this forum? Pick up some books on Access, 900 pages plus. Most Access books are fairly basic (no pun intended) and for new users. Work by Litwin, Getz & Gunderlay tend to be technically better but not sure about their form appearance. A book like Access...

Over here they are saying Trump has won. We won't have to see her (forgotten her name already) prancing around, waving her arms, with the grin of the village idiot any more. She's been behaving like she'd already won since the Dems, in an act of desperation, sent Biden off to a home for the...

I always try not to wish my life away but the sooner this damn election is over the better. Roll on the 6th November.

I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you what, never again.

I can never understand why companies do this. They are after all poisoning their own families, children and grandchildren. Are they totally deranged? Or institutionalized into stupidity?

Microsoft have their tentacles into at least one version of Linux.

I find this whole discussion about US politics really quite fascinating.

Ah, the migraines. Always a joy as the white zig zag lines tramp across your vision from right to left. Just when you can do without them. Most people have no idea how long it can take to create software. The hours can indeed be cruel. The good thing is that once it is done, you can sell it...

The biggest problem with giving the government money, is that they spend it. But usually not as wisely as we would have done. Throwing it away like a drunken sailor is probably apt. The main problem is that they are great at starting something new but generally useless at keeping it running.

In Britain, all trusts are not equal. You need really good advice and invariably the one giving the advice will have long gone before their mistakes surface. For instance. The trustees usually have to pay the tax if they sell or transfer assets on behalf of the beneficiary. Also, the rules for...

He, he, he

On the generals, for years the Germans ran rings around everyone. I don't believe that Hitler was much of a leader invariably ignoring his generals and their advice. In Ukraine Zelenskyy is proving to be as bad a military mind and tactician as Hitler. A disaster for his country and posturing...

Unfortunately that is not an unusual issue on the forum.
