Hi everyone

Now anyone can post a reply here either commenting on the answer or anything else (withing site rules) and others can use the new up/down feature. Please feel free to post as many comments as you wish so we can thoroughly check out this feature.

Hi, We have an internal network of 3 users.

The third machines will connect, but it is so ultra slow that you just cannot import all the tables and use the

Hi, I have an application that uses MS-SQL Linked tables. I have a utility routine that drops all links and re-establishes them.

I have a Microsoft Access2002 database that needs to connect to an Oracle Database. I need to map 2 tables from the Oracle DB to retrieve the proper data. I read somewhere (quite a while back) that if you use ADO in Access, you can connect without the need for ODBC, TNSNAMES.ORA and the Oracle client installed on the user's desktop. If I use the Microsoft driver for Oracle, is it possible to connect to an Oracle DB using straight VBA

I have a Mysql database hosted on a remote server. Previously, I could always connect to those databases using the 3.51 ODBC connector and linking the tables in Access. The benefit of this is that I can view the data from my desktop, export it to spreadsheets if necessary and print labels. I guess because of a Mysql upgrade by my host, the 3.51 connector stopped working (the password hash problem), so I upgraded to the 5.* ODBC...

I just started using Access 2003, and I can't link a SQL Server table. I right-click on the database window; select Link Tables; and select ODBC Databases from the Files of Type dropdown. As soon as I select ODBC Databases from the Files of Type dropdown, the entire dialog box disappears. No error message. Just disappears, and I'm back at the database window.

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: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
