Several questions and some pain

Ron
Hi All,

First question is what to do if somehow security was run on a database I've
designed and yet I have NO idea how or when it was run? There is a
"system1.md w" file sitting there, and I think it's been there since day one
when I started playing around with Access 2000 back a couple years ago. Any
way to circumvent the security settings? Cancel the settings so they aren't
even there (as, I don't need them anyway...)?

The reason I ask, is that I started using Tony Toew's Auto FE Updater and
was having problems due to "security settings" which was a real surprise.
When starting database on the 2nd machine it was saying I didn't have the
"necessary permissions". Well, heck, if I don't have 'em, nobody does! So,
is there a way around that?

How do I find out what the security settings are? Passwords, etc. I really
am the ONLY one who's been diddling with this thing, so what now? I can't
even blame an employee, unfortunately. All on me.

Is there some way to import all the forms, queries, etc into a new database
and start fresh? The reason I ask that is I've tried to do that (new
database, different name, and File/Get External Data/Import, etc. It copies
everything fine, the forms are there, the queries, etc. But no code. All
the code for each form is empty and inaccessible.

Help!

Have tentatively determined my problems below may stem from a lousy initial
install of Access. If I copy my program over to another machine (this one
with Access2003) and make a new database, I can import my forms and get the
code along with them. I just can't on my main machine.

So, it appears my solution is to copy programs/data, etc over to another
machine, uninstall Access 2000 completely on main machine, and reinstall.
Then, copy them back. I'll assume for now that'll solve the "no code"
problem below. If it doesn't, then I'll punt.

So, can anyway tell me how to make sure I delete all of Access2000 before
reinstalling? Any tricks to it to make sure it's completely gone (this
being windows and all... ::grin::)

TIA

I've been tasked with doing technical interviews at my company, and I have generally ask a range of OO, Java, and "good programming technique" concepts. However, one of my favorite exercises I give interviewees seems to trip them up all the time, and I wonder if I'm being too much of a hardass... it seems easy enough to ME, but these guys, when I get them up to the whiteboard, seem to get really confused. The exercise is this:

Some simple yes/no questions. I tried googling first and couldn't find specific answers. These are related to .Net 3.5 extension methods 1) I found that I would like to add properties as well as methods. Is there such a thing as Extension Properties? 2) Can you add static extension methods to classes? The 'this' part implies an instance. For example, I'd like to be able to go: System.IO.File.MyCrazyMethod()

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
