Sorry, gang, but after all these years (mostly lurking) I've never figured out how to reply cleanly here - so I apologize if this is scrambled... Just in case you're asking about an RDP book because you want to run an Access app remotely, there's an excellent book on Terminal Server that covers things on RDP I would never have thought possible: Terminal Services for Microsoft Windows Server 2003: Advanced Technical Design Guide http://www.amazon.com/Terminal-Services-Microsoft-Windows-Server/dp/09711510 40/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1283643145&sr=1-4 Brian Madden, the primary author, also has a web site: http://www.brianmadden.com/ which I haven't used for a while but used to have a lot of Term Services / RDP content. He's an excellent source of good info. I'm taking some time to post this info because we've found Term Server / RDP to be an excellent way to provide remote access to complex Access apps, and a great response to "it has to be a web app", which normally means they want remote access. We have one mission-critical Access/SQL Server app with about 100 users around the US that works great (in many ways better than the Salesforce.com app it's linked to...). I've noticed than many Access developers don't seem to be aware of this architecture - hopefully now a few more are... We've had clients using Citrix the same way; it's better but more expensive. There's a ton of great technology in this space and some excellent ways to deploy Access apps with the kind of UI's and functionality you rarely see in a "real" (browser based) web app. Good luck!

Then select the Axis tab, then uncheck Auto for the Major interval, then enter the major interval that you want the axis to display. It's very similar to Excel.

Nautilus it is proudly named after the famous USS nuclear sub passing the North Pole years back . So, of course, this is now used for maneuvering the launch platform to the launch area at a military area of the Baltic Sea: http://www.copenhagensuborbitals.com/index.php This first test flight planned to take place tomorrow, Sunday, aimed at reaching an altitude of only 30 km will only carry a doll. I must say I feel respect for such enthusiasm as all costs and labour are carried by donations and volunteers. By the way, the USS Nautilus was designated a National Historic Landmark and is now settled at the Submarine Force Museum in Connecticut: http://www.ussnautilus.org /gustav ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Sat, 04 Sep 2010 19:23:30 +1000 From: "Stuart McLachlan" <stuart at lexacorp.com.pg> Subject: Re: [AccessD] OT Friday Experience: Rocket Science and submarines To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Message-ID: <4C821012.32020.B770C2C at stuart.lexacorp.com.pg> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Then of course there is The Register's PARIS (Paper Aircraft Released Into Space) effort. Also planned to reach 30Km. http://www.theregister.co.uk/science/paris/ The PARIS mission includes two main components: the main payload and the Vulture 1 aircraft. The main payload is a styrofoambox containing video and stills cameras, GPS tracker unit, back-up beacon transmitter and the all-important Vulture 1 release mechanism. Vulture 1 - an all-paper aircraft - sits under the main payload, and both are lifted by a helium- filled meteorological balloon. At 20,000 metres, Vulture 1 is released to fly to earth, tracked by an onboard GPS radio system. The plane also carries a miniature stills camera to record its journey. The main payload continues to ascend to around 30,000 metres, at which point the balloon bursts and the box descends by parachute. Two tracking teams will follow and recover the main payload and Vulture 1. The main payload GPS transmits its location over the phone network. If that fails, there's a back-up beacon transmiting in morse. Vulture 1's position is plotted live online via the OpenAPRS system. The main payload also offers live positional updates via a dedicated Google map.
