[AccessD] Have A Great Christmas

Hi Patricia

Sorry, I now see that the attachment was ripped off.

Christmas and New Year is close and the workstations will soon be shut down (?) but before that - how about a song?

I posted this seven and five years ago (oh, isn't time running fast?) - old listers please forgive me, this is for the newcomers. The purpose is to remind you of the year you are about to leave - another year spent at the display waiting for miracles to happen (they didn't).

Don't sit reciting in front of the screen. Singing is fun and relaxing! And the tune everyone knows.
Remember: No mumbling or humming - sing out loud (your dearest will understand you).

Anyway, here goes:


RING THE BELLS (The Decompile Song)
Tune: Jingle Bells

Dashing through the code
On a dark and rainy day
O'er the forms you go
But they won't display.

Bells in functions ring
Making errors bright
What fun it would have been to bring
A finished app tonight!
Oh!

Decompile! Then compile!
Compact and send away!
Oh, what form next to design
On the trusted old display!
Oh!

Decompile! Then compile!
Compact and send away!
Oh, what form next to design
On the trusted old display?


Day or two ago
I thought I had it right
Speed was way too low
I had to be more bright.

Running queries there
Returning nothing here
Struggling with the MSDE
The fun is plain and sheer!
Oh!

Decompile! Then compile!
Compact and send today!
Oh, what form now to design
On a brand new flat display!
Oh!

Decompile! Then compile!
Compact and send today!
Oh, what form now to design
On a brand new flat display!


Now the screen is bright
Go it while you're awake
Take the girls tonight
After pressing Ctrl-Break.

Now, fill that empty bay
Two forty for more speed
Your obstinate app will soon display
And crack! You'll take the lead.
Oh!

Decompile! Then compile!
Compact and mail today!
No more forms left to design
On the TFT display!
Oh!

Decompile! Then compile!
Compact and mail today!
No more forms left to design
On the TFT display!

Merry Christmas!
Gustav
