It seems the Access 97 FontName property supports multiple font names, e.g.
"Franklin Gothic Medium, Tahoma".
I assume that means that if the first font is not available on the target
PC, the second font will be displayed. Correct?
Also what happens if the font is specified as Franklin Gothic Medium only
and that font is not available on the target PC? Will Access default to some
other font? If so, which one?
TIA

Yeah, therefore makes you wonder why the FontName property does accept two
fonts.

Ought to be pretty easy to test... try two very dissimlar fonts, say Arial
and an Old English style, then change the name of the first one,
temporarily. See if it displays the second one, or a mapped font.

Oh I think what is happening is that it takes the string:
"Old English, Ariel" as being one font name which doesn't exist, so it
defaults back to MS Sans Serif. So it doesn't accept 2 fonts after all....

Hi there,
I have a text box which will receive its value from a pop-up date picker.
The user should not be able to edit this field with the keyboard or mouse.
I am using ASP.NET. If I set the readonly property of the textbox to true,
it won't let the user change it and it can receive its value from the pop-op
calendar, just what I need. Problem is, after a postback, value is lost.
So I think Javascript may come to the rescue here. Is...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
