I recommend you use the "upsize" wizard (which will automatically relink to your existing forms) and goto MS SQL 2000.
I agree wholeheartedly, but I don't have any money to spend and I'm trying to make the most of what I have. I may be able to convince I/S to give me SQL Server space, and if so, then I'm all set.
But they may tell me to take a flying leap, and then I'll be forced to roll my own solution. My boss supports some small expenditure for this effort, but I'd rather spend the money on a true programming environment when data solutions already exist in-house.
If there was an inexpensive and comparable alternative, I'd consider it. I'll be taking a look at ASA soon, and would love to have some other products to include in the eval.
Thanks, and no, I'm not involved in this bio-anthro project.

While I don't have a great love of the "Evil Empire" that is MS, what's so bad about Access? It's certainly not perfect, but tell me what Windows-based alternatives exist that will:
* Let me create front-end forms populated and controlled by code and query
* Support relational tables, indexes, complex JOIN queries, aggregate functions, etc.
* Design complex reports with page/section formatting and behind-the-scenes code controls
* Can access ODBC data sources
If you can show me the way, I'll take the first step! I'd love to cut some of the distribution costs here!
So you'd be not only be charging for something that used to be free, you'd be charging to fix a problem most frankly dont care about.
Are you sure most people don't care? They may not care about receiving spam in the general sense, but I suspect there's a great majority who either oppose or fear pr0n (and other individually-decided offensive content) and virus/script/hack-carrying spam.
I don't give a Bender's shiny metal ass about snail-mail spam because it can't hurt me. And it's easy to filter and toss or recycle. And I only get about 3 pieces per day.
Spam, OTOH, usually comes daily by the gross and for most people without advanced filtering tools, sorting the good from the bad usually means having to open some of the more ambigously-titled pieces. And then you get into trouble because a linked pr0n image hits your work web proxy and...

It's funny you bring up that awful movie. I recently had a run-in with Parking Enforcement at my building's garage. I pulled into the entrance to ask for directions to the overflow lot, as my assigned lot was full.
After a brief check of my car's parking sticker, I get the directions, but have my badge confiscated! I was told merely pulling into the entrance was a parking violation! So, asking for help got me in trouble with my boss *and* I was late, as I had to put up with the citation process and then go to the off-site lot!
I tried to use the "Minority Report" argument that even if I was going to cheat and drive up the ramp, I didn't, yet was still charged as such. And the ass-jack made me turn around. So how am I violating parking policy again?

Better wake up, mouseketeers. These anime companies are getting ready to eat your lunch.
Or better yet, the Mouseketeers better look behind them because Disney is eating itself. Who has the exclusive U.S. distro rights to Miyazaki? Disney. Who has alrady released to theatres and video three of his best (IMHO, need to see more)? Disney.
Who winds up looking like shit when Dismey releases Miazaki's work? Disney.
Excluding Pixar's excellent fare, there's not much in Disney's recent catalog to be proud of. I mean, damn! I saw Spirited Away at Pleasure Island and couldn't escape the sheer vividness and variety of the character design. Or the plot. Or the atmosphere. Or the smooth high-quality ink & paint.
While I applaud Disney for bringing us such bounty, someone in the Mouse's House needs to borrow some of the DVDs...
Strangely, I had this conversation with my semi-technical mother. We were going to a theme park and had a couple hours to kill.
I explained how things are slowly moving to license-based transactions from property-based. I highlighted the issues surrounding digital TV broadcasts, DVD and CD format shifting and how the Industry (MPAA/RIAA) blew their chance at creating the business model.
Now that broadband empowerment is upon us all, They want to control every aspect of data use. They want their cake and they want to eat it too. I specifically brought up the CD exchange scenario, which she sort of agreed with.
When Stanley Kubric makes a movie, he wants to make a movie that touches Stanley Kubric.

Seriously, I think I agree with your idea. Taken had a cool concept behind it, but the ending left me feeling empty. I don't know how I woulda done it, but I can't shake the "he's trying to please all of the people" feeling.
Does anyone know if the book is more informative or is it a straight screenplay-to-novelisation?
Has anyone else seen the news about the Supremes hearing a case from a California circuit court regarding Miranda rights?
A man was shot during an investigation of the theft of a cop's gun. He was taken to hospital and later interrogated forcefully, at which time he confessed.
At issue is whether his confession is admissable on grounds it was coerced and it was obtained without the suspect ever having been Mirandized! If we lose Miranda, and we're already losing our privacy, why should a trivial thing like the loss of time-shifting be a shock?

But what about me? I've beaten GTA3 and found everything, jumped everything, etc.
However, then, and now when doing Vigilante and Survival, I've always tried to leave non-gangbangers out of it.
Yes, I know wanton slaughter of Diablos and Yardies isn't exactly peaceful, but in a certain way, it can usually be construed as self-defense or as desirable vigilante justice. (Well, maybe).
I actually have a problem killing or driving over civilians. My wife and cousin think it's weird. I enjoy following Cartel and muggers around and relieving them of their body parts. But if I tag a civvy or run one down while chasing a perp, I care.
On a related note, I just finished MGS2 and did it with 0 kills, not for a lark, but because I have a problem with unnessessary killing.
My two cents, FWIW. Posters pointing out that, perhaps, I'm just a big pussy will be dealt with harshly!

...I like to go to the nearby arcade and watch people play.
Same here, but maybe your arcade doesn't have any DDR regulars or something. I have 6 DDR machines within about 30 minutes of my house (in Jacksonville, FL) and there are quite a few people with excellent freestyle moves. There are also n00bs who don't really understand how the game works or just how physically demanding it can be;)
As for the exercise component, I've been dancing at home and at the arcade for about 6 months now. I've lost 25 pounds and seriously upped my endurance and cardio response. I can fit into dress pants I thought were lost forever. I've also gotten faster on my feet as I *slowly* progress through the harder songs.
I'm 6'1" and currently 228. Takes a lot to move my big legs that fast. Can you say "era" on Maniac?
P.S. "Modding" pads is a necessity if they're the soft foldable kind. I took a 3x4 sheet of quarter-inch plywood and some aluminum carpet trim strips and screwed the whole thing down. Most importantly, I put a layer of foam carpet padding underneath - very easy on the feet! I can move, jump and slide with no pad movement. Now all I need is to get another modded pad so I can double and/or dance vs. my wife and son.

Same here. I've been DDRing since Christmas. I have a modded MadCatz pad and DDR USA and DDR 3rd Mix (Japan). I've lost about 20 pounds and not quite 2 pants sizes.
My wife asks me why I don't bike-ride or walk with her. I tell her the key differences are intensity, fun, and competition. I like trying out harder songs at home and in the arcades, even if I do look like a rhythmless choad.
I only play Trick/Another now and am working on 7 & 8 footers there and have tried a few Maniac/SSR songs just for kicks.
