Hi All,
I am trying to create an instant messenger tool within the database,
mainly so messages can be left for colleagues on different shifts (not all
of them have a mail account). I have created a table with the following
fields:
from (text) default value = username obtained from module which gets unique
network username
to (text)
sent (date/time) default value = now()
message (memo)
received (yes/no)
I have created an event procedure on timer (main form) so that if a record
exists in the messages table where [from] = current user and [received] =
false a form will open displaying the message.
I am new to this and I have not got the procedure right. If a message exists
where I am not the desired recipient, the form still opens.
Could anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Private Sub Form_Timer()
If (DLookup("[to]", "messages", "[to]") = (Me!current_use r.Value) & _
DLookup("[received]", "messages", "[received]") = False) Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "message_po pup"
End If
End Sub
TIA,
Mark

Mark,
Your syntax is a little off on the DLookUp
The equals sign goes inside the quotes with the field name
Put the value you are comparing inside the parens
If (DLookup("[to]", "messages", "[to] = " & Me!current_user .Value)) then

Does anyone have an example of a simple Instant Messenger program written in
Python?
I have some code for a simple server and simple client communicating over
TCP/IP, so I could always combine both of those into each IM client, but
perhaps there is a better way.
Thank you.

Hi all,
I have a website where users login to and I wish to add Instant Messenger
between 2 users.. for instance, clicking "IM" on someone's profile (assuming
they're online of course) will prompt the other user if they wish to chat or
not.. if they do.. initiate 1-on-1 chat.
I've seen it done on faceparty.com which I believe uses DigiChat (java).
Unfortunately it's too expensive to purchase so I wish to develop a
simplistic version...

Hi,
Can someone please put me right here.
I've been asked to send messages to instant messenger through my asp.net 1.1
website, as a feature of a message board that I had to hand code.
I don't believe this is possible. IM is a client app that accesses a private
server on its own port (i.e not accessible through normal web)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
