Does anyone in this forum know of tech questions for an Access
programmer? I have not been able to find a good web page with Access
tech questions.
I am interviewing Access programmers and want to conduct some tech

I'll give you some good ones if you're willing to interview me, and
you're in the Eastern Ontario area, prefereably close to Ottawa. ;)

Have you considered hiring a consultant on an as-needed basis? Could be less
costly than hiring a full time employee.

One thing you could do is open this forum, and have them respond to
the last 20 issues raised. You typically have enough answers to know
if they know their stuff.
One smart client of ours hired us to do the tech interviews. They did
the softer HR-style interview, and if candidate passed that, they
would send them to us for technical evaluation.

If you are not an Access programmer, you won't be able to tell a good one from
a fourflusher or from a person who just thinks he/she is better than they are.
It's easy for a person to think that they "know" Access when they are just
beginners.

Amen to that, Gary! Judging by here and the other 4 forums I visit daily,
about 80-90% of all questions are posted by people who apparently took Access
101 in school and then told the boss they "knew" Access!
If it was me and I had zero knowledge of Access myself, I go thru an IT
personnel agency that provides people on an temp-to-hire basis. They have the
expertise to do all the vetting, if the programmer doesn't work out, you know
before you actually hire them.

I'd say that a good 30% of questions I read could be answered by a quick
visit to the help. Case in point: my suggesting "have you tried filter by
form?" was once answered by "what's that?".

Since my apps usually rewrite recordsource SQL and then requery
according to a user's choices on various forms, I would also answer
"what's that?" 8)
I think it's very difficult to answer specific questions. Often the
questions that are crafted for such an interview are based more on the
interviewer's personal preferred practices that may not be the only way
to tackle a particular problem.

No Tim, you'd search for "filter by form" in the help ;-)

Yes but ... Quite often a person doesn't know what something is called. They know
what they want to do but they have no idea what the keyword is to look in help.

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.

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