(Download instructions for all of this software is included with the book. The 2012 edition is an update of the 2008 edition.) I spent quite a bit of time working my way through the chapters. I went from doing simple queries right into writing and executing fairly sophisticated SQL. (One type of SQL query I remember which was pretty interesting was a self join query - where you actually join a table to itself. Believe it or not, useful information can be derived from a self join that you can't get any other way. The self join example in the book was very illuminating.)

Once you have the cross tab built and saved you can include that in a new query as a data source. You might want to do a group by query first on the raw source data and then do the individual crosstabs on that group by query. Then you could take the first option as the function in the crosstab. Then a final query to consolate all the component crosstab queries into your final result. It's a layered approach.

Often downstream queries will not be constructed comprehensively if an upstream query is a cross tab. Using a macro that harvests the fields by looping through the columns returned from a SELECT * query, I can modify the SQL in dependent queries. I am guessing that in a more heavyweight system than Access this would be encapsulated in a stored procedure.

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery but considering that Apple was suing various Linux distros for emulating their current desktop design, it all seems like a bit of hypocrisy. Personally, when it comes to the FE presentation manger, copy away or how are we going to advance. (I have been using Microsoft's CSS and HTML scripts to build a new web site and so far it looks really nice...)

Regarding the quote above. I suspect a huge part of the issue is that MS (like most companies) will focus on keeping most of their users happy with minimal return (and why not). What the masses wanted was an additional 16 Gazillion colours to go on their expanded pie charts, merged cells and other highly visible and colourful fluff. In a lot of places 'style' rules over 'substance' or even function. The other Problem is there is bugger all advantage / kudos to MS for fixing any obscure VBA inconsistencies that most users don't even know about (and risking screwing up something else significant). I guess they figure that any developer smart enough to find these issues is also smart enough to work around them, or so entrenched in MS VBA that the occasional SNAFU is expected and will not drive them to another product. In short, The risk / reward / return ratios don't add up for MS to go ahead and fix up those lingering issues. Much better to add more colours and pictures - aaaah, and just look at those new 45 different Pie Charts! ;) Cheers Darryl. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Bill Benson Sent: Tuesday, 15 July 2014 9:32 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Somewhat OT: Satya Nadella's memo.

For what it is worth Bill, in the interview I would focus on selling yourself on the concepts and your understanding of those concepts rather than the nitty gritty details. If you can write and understand any SQL (or even code for that matter) and understand databases and normalisation then you have some good skills that are worth having. Don't let the minor details cloud what you have to offer these people. Deeply understanding the core concepts of data and how to manipulate it is where the value lies - So if you get stuck, I would really emphasis that point and focus on those skills. It is not knowing every little quirk of the software language that is important - it is understanding what is possible, what can / should be done vs what shouldn't be done. Frankly with Google, anyone can find out the answer, but understanding the issue is more important and valuable. Anyway. Good luck - let us know how you go.

I've got a client that has an Access 2000 program that is randomly generating a fault in MSO9.DLL. It always faults at offset 0x0007b9f2 with a 0xc0000094, which is a divide by zero error. This program has been solid for years and now is faulting for some reason. SQL Server is the backend. There are numerous apps running on this server (2008 R2) and none are having problems except this one. Nothing new or has been changed that I'm aware of. Things I have done: 1. Rebuilt the DB - fresh MOB, imported tables and queries, did saveastext/loadfromtext for forms and report, and cut and pasted all code from old to new. New DB compiles fine. 2. Compacted and repaired. 3. Turned off name Auto correct. 4. Replaced the MSO9.DLL from another machine 5. Renamed MSO9.DLL and then did a repair on Office 2000. 6. Doesn't appear to be a resource problem; happens with as little as processing a few orders or a hundred and I can turn around and process the batch that just failed and it will go through fine. Any thoughts are welcome. I've been hacking away at this for about five days now and it's driving me nuts.

Starting FY15 - Bold Ambition & Our Core Hi Jim -- But for me the key(phrase) of Satya Nadella's memo is: "We will reinvent productivity (for mobile-first and cloud-first world) to empower every person and every organization on the planet to do more and achieve more." They can do that I suppose. After all they have always been good in providing productivity tools for both end-/power-users and devs. In "mobile world" it may happen they will succeed with their "productivity reinvention" more for competing platforms as Android and iPhone/iPad than for WinPhone/Surface. As for desktops, they will probably continue "reigning" in desktop world, which promise to live for a long time... -- Shamil Tue, 15 Jul 2014 22:57:24 -0600 (MDT) from Jim Lawrence : >Here is a link to a podcast dealing with Microsoft/Linux off the record overview of Satya Nadella's corporate statement: > >http://feedpress.me/t3ogg > >It seems that Microsoft is moving off desktop applications all together.

It appears that both Firefox and Google have extended far beyond a browser that can only run on a second party OS and now sport their own "browser" operation systems. Google is going after other Cloud carriers by promising anyone, for $10 per month, unlimited data storage. Then the new Android-L OS will provide clients so all computers (PCs, tablets and smartphones, on any OS) can link through them...free. Given the further details you have presented it does look like Google is going for control. Apple doesn't have the depth yet (we are all waiting on whether IBM and Apple are in a serious relationship), to do anything about it, Amazon is no real competitor and Microsoft is still too busy trying to find out where it is going next...so there are no challengers. I love the new tech but having another tech over-lord to assume power from the crumbling MS empire, gives me pause. ...And of course the most importnat question; where is my new super MS Access database?

It never re-scans and re-indexes unless you specifically tell it to. Trying to maintain an index on a removeable drive that can be be altered when not attached to the PC running Everything would be a nightmare. Everything would need to run a full scan and do a re-index of the device every time that it was re-inserted. Same applied for network devices. Any software which tries to index a networked drive remotely would have to be constantly scanning it to see if anything had been changed by another device on the network.

Database or Object is Read Only. and Error: 3045 - Could not use (db name) File Already in Use. I think it may be related to Access 2013 as so far all users reporting this error are using 2013. I'm not using ODBC nor user security (MDW). Both problems are related to the back end on the server. The 3077 occurs when a second user tries to open the back end from a copy of the mde on a different client machine. Any ideas what might be causing this and a cure?

In this case, we have a control and a field both with the same name, BUT the control is not bound to that field. This is a problem. So the rule should be: do not name a control the same as the name of a field in the report's Record Source, unless the control is bound to that field. There is, of course, no problem with the control being named something other than the name of the field it is bound to. But equally, there is no problem with a bound control having the same name as its Control Source field.

In addition to facilitating name changes it has other uses, such as: a) changing the path in the connect string for attached tables (search for old path, replace with new; attachment gets refreshed) and b) searching for occurrences of a given function to enable you to change the parameters. The intended user of this module is a programmer." http://www.rickworld.com/products.html It is a paid add in, but it is worth every damn cent. It will generally pay for itself within minutes. I have used it for many years now and it has saved me many hundreds of hours of tedious hacking and manual updating. Highly recommended if you do a lot of Access dev, audit or maintenance work. Probably not worth it if you only tinker with the odd database.

It might not display as False, but it will operate that way unless you change it to True. It's always worked that way for me. There is no Null value for a yes/no field in an Access table, just True or False. However, SQL Server tables do allow a Null value for a yes/no field, but that won't be changeable in an ODBC table link anyway.

I customarily set the field to a zero default, but the control handles a triple-state answer so you have to set its default as well. I can't recall if I've ever tried to set the control default using a normal form with a checkbox control, but it's worth a try.

That is a bummer although we'll be using 2010 for a while yet (probably several more years at least). I am not surprised given it is a one man production and keeping up to date with all of MS's changes over the years would be a fair bit of work. Not sure what the ROI is Rick on this product, but I am sure it is not huge. No idea how Rick feels about it but I know I would reach the point where you would think "ok... that is enough". Hmmmmm... Thanks for letting us know.
