Hi,
I use Access 2003 to generate the back-end data for a ColdFusion report at work. The report is sorted by a column and based on the sorting, rankings are assigned to each row(i.e. the biggest value gets No. 1, and then the row of the second biggest value is ranked as No. 2). Each task owners will then have to attack their owning issues based on the ranking.
The No. 1, 2, 3,... rankings are generated in this way:
1. An Append query that is based on series of tables and sub queries calculates the value, sort the value descending, and then pastes the result to a table.
2. The table has one additional field that the append query does not have - the No 1, 2, 3... rankings.
3. Assuming the table is sorting properly after the data is pasted to the table from the sorted append query, a VB script kicks off to go through the table and assign values to the ranking field of each row from top to the bottom of the table. For example, top item has the highest value so it gets assigned "1" in the ranking field, the second row has the 2nd biggest value so it get assigned "2" to its ranking field, ... etc.
4. Here comes the problem. We run the report hourly. Once or maybe twice in a day, the table takes the pasted info from the append query but the data is not sorted the same as how it is defined in the append query. Then the VB script assigns rankings wrongly.
I have googled a lot but cannot find a simple VB solution to force sorting data in an Access table.
Please he~~~~lp!!!!

The Jet Engine will impose its own sort order on unsorted data. If you want to get data in a particular order then you will have to create a query and sort the data before exporting it.

Helpful folks,
Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems
and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and
consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices
the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really
floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse
response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses
one. Some context:

tblCourses one to many to tblEvents.
A course may have an intro workshop (a type of event), a mid course
workshop, a final exam. Or any combination. Or something different in the
future.
At the moment the printed output is usually going to Word. It's turning into
an unholy mess, because I'm having to prepare umpteen different Word
templates, and the queries that drive them, depending on what events a
course has.

Hi
We need some advice: We are thinking of upgrading our Access database
from Access 2000 to Access 2004.
How stable is MS Office 2003? (particularly Access 2003).
We are just a small company and this is a big decision for us(!) It's
not just the money it's committing to an new version of Access!

Most of my Access database implementations have been fairly small in
terms of data volume and number of concurrent users. So far I haven't
had performance issues to worry about. <knock on wood>
But I am curious about what techniques those of you who have done higher
volume access implementations use to ensure high performance of the
database in a multi-user 100mbps LAN implementation???
Thanks

I've got a report that's not sorting correctly. I build a SQL
statement and assign it to the recordsource in the Open event, sorting
the data the way the user chooses. The user can choose up to 3 sorts
using a form that opens before the report opens.
When the report previews, it ignores the users' sort request and always
sorts by the primary key even though ORDER BY is explicity set to
another field other than primary key.

I have a very complex maketable query with many records and involving multiple VB functions which call other functions.
I need this table to be sorted by the first field.
But no matter what I do, there is a small chance of the table coming out unsorted.

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.
Here is my compilation command:
