For software you build for others, do most of you sign your macros and
if so how or do you set macro security to low?

I set the macro security low. However I'm seriously consider moving to signing the
code as I need the same capability for the Auto FE Updater exe.

Just to clarify - this involves purchasing a digital certificate, right? One
that needs to be renewed yearly?
I looked into this a while ago and it seemed like the least expensive digital
certificate was around $700 US a year.
Or are there less epxensive alternatives to signing your code (in my case,
MDE and MDB)?

Does all this apply to applications that use the runtime? Can I
programmaticall y set macro security to low just for the runtime app without
disturbing any retail installation of Access? (I am using the Sage scripts so
my runtime is pretty well isolated from any retail installations.)

If I set macro security to low when developing my application, then create an
MDE and distribute it with a runtime, will the runtime "pick up" the macro
security setting from the MDE?
I don't distribute ANYTHING that requires anyone to run it under their own
retail Access installation. I'm hoping there is a way to have macro security
low only on my app, but not disturb any settings the user may have for any
other Access apps.

You may have to add to your manual how people set security to low.

"Movement" seems quite an exaggeration. Maybe 2-3 people made some

Is there any hope that new versions of PHP
will support macros similar to C or C++?
I've searched manual and didn't find anything
except define directive, but it can be used
to define constant values only.
Of course it is not THAT neccessary functionality,
but it could be very useful.

When writing C99 code is a reasonable recommendation to use inline
functions instead of macros?
What sort of things is it still reasonable to do using macros? For
example, is it reasonable to write type generic functions macros?
#define CUBE(I) ( (I) * (I) * (I) )
Is there some more concise set of things where inline functions should
be used instead of macros? Multi-statement macros, for example?

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