A 50 buck Timex will keep time to within a few seconds a month. Indeed, a better timepiece than the clock that the Admiralty awarded Harrison 20,000 pounds for. It's not clear to me why anyone would own a mechanical clock in an opaque case. The whole point of gears over electrons is to...

Narrow minded. Why would you care? Can the guy write software? That is the crucial factor. Junior programmers are never seen by the public. Hire him. Let him know that he can't be promoted to a position that has public exposure until he gets the tattoo removed if you care. You know, while...

I must have mis-spoke. I meant the new app for when you were asking someone for help, or for self use to define exactly what you didn't know. Pass by reference vs pass by value. There's a case for each. Depending on the language pass by ref can be substantially faster, espcially with...

I would have added this to one of the stickies about asking questions, but, they are closed. Moderator, feel free to move this post. One of the key things I do in whatever programming system I am engaged in: Reduce the problem to the smallest reasonable size that demonstrates the problem. So...

One of the things I like about access is that I DON'T have to think things out completely. Does this get me in trouble? Certainly. I mostly use access for personal projects. Right now I'm working up a database that can be used to create an online catalog for my tree farm. But when I...

Ok's try again: Your basic table for this system. Let's ignore the defective ones, add that one later. tblWorkflow Date Section Item Count If you have 20 sections, this table at any given time have Sum (Section(i)*item(i)) records. You may want an additional section called Warehouse...

I'm not about to create your whole system for you. Your table has fields: Date ProductName TotalQty RejectQty Section You use a standard summary report, grouping by sections. Where you need it, you calculate passed. (You only need to count two of the 3 of pass, reject and total. Record...

I too took a look at elance. Not for access, I'm am but an egg in Access. I was looking at web writing. They were looking for people to write 100-300 word articles for SEO spam. Object: Have something resembling normal sentence structure with the right buzz words. The pay was something...

My suspicion is that you are looking at the problem incorrectly. Or I'm not understanding it correctly. I think you are saying that you have a multi-section factory, each section produces different products. In some cases a given product needs to be processed several times in different...

Nah, but only because I do my access dev work at home. It does sometimes grab me by the ankle and drag me downstairs to the liquor cabinet.

I hate access. But I hate every other database system even more. I'm running Access 2003 on Windows XP sp3 under VirtualBox on a Mac. (Whew!) It actually runs reasonably well. Mind you the Mac has 4 cores and 24 GB of ram, 6 disks... I'm a teacher turned computer geek turned tree farmer...
