Question about Yes/No selection buttons - can they be reset to "no choice"?

Hi,
One of the people here at work has designed a database that students
will be using to enter data. She has Yes/No selection buttons, which
start out grayed out with no value. If a student selects the Yes or
No in error, is there any simple way to allow for the boxes to be
unchecked again to "no selection"? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan M.

If the check box is unbound, you can:

a) Set its TripleState property to Yes. Now when you click the box, it will
cycle through yes, no, and null.

b) Programmaticall y assign Null to the check box, e.g.:
Me.[NameOfYourCheck BoxHere] = Null

As far as I know python's threading module models after Java's. However, I can't find something equivalent to Java's interrupt and isInterrupted methods, along with InterruptedException. "somethread.interrupt()" will wake somethread up when it's in sleeping/waiting state. Is there any way of doing this with python's thread? I suppose thread interrupt is a very primitive functionality for stopping a blocked thread.

Hi all, I have searched the group with no answer to this particular problem. In my sendmail program, I would like to have the ability to send a mail message with no-one email address in the To field. I do this by adding the mail to the CC field via a header. However, by the time I get to the point of sending the mail, my recipient list is now empty, so I get the "SMTPRecipientsRefused" error.

Here's a puzzle I can't figure out. I visited the page http://validator.w3.org, and confirmed that it validates itself. Then I *saved* it to my docroot directory using my browser's save-as function, and then tried to submit this saved page for validation. Now it generates 17 errors, of the form: end tag for "link" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

I've been doing a lot of searching on the topic of one of Python's more disturbing issues (at least to me): the fact that if a __del__ finalizer is defined and a cyclic (circular) reference is made, the garbage collector cannot clean it up. First of all, it seems that it's best to avoid using __del__. So far, I have never used it in my Python programming. So I am safe there. Or am I? Also, to my knowledge, I have never created a...

Do not take anything about this, it is not a flame or troll, while I'm not new to Java I favor C++. However, I may need to use it in a contract position, and am concerned that the restrictions it places on application code. Take, for instance, this C++ construct: class foo { char *m_name;

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