Dear all,
I just spent quite a lot of time investigating one problem, which seems to be a bug (which I wasn't able to google). So I am just posting a bug report here:
BUG REPORT:
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Not possible to re-link Linked table after unsuccessful connection to a table, which has Memo field with Append Only flag, set to Y.
On the attempt to re-link linked table using Linked tables manager, an error comes:
"is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides". This is despite of the fact, that the path is correct
The below description is for manual actions, but the same is applicable for programmaticall y linking of tables (using VBA).
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) In the directory C:\Test create BackEndAccessDB .accdb, which has table TestTable. TestTable should have only one column testMemo with type Memo
2) Set the flag Append Only to Yes
3) Now in the same directory C:\Test create file FrontEnd.accdb.
4) In the FrontEnd.accdb create a linked table to the table TestTable in file BackEndAccessDB .accdb. Make sure linked table works
5) Close both *.accdb files
6) Rename directory C:\Test to C:\Test_new
7) Open FrontEnd.accdb and attempt to access linked table TestTable. At this moment you will get an expected error:
“’C:\Test\BackE ndAccessDB.accd b’ is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides”
8) Press OK and, right click on linked table and invoke Linked Table Manager.
9) Try to re-link the table to new location (C:\Test_new\ BackEndAccessDB .accdb). Now you get an unexpected error:
“’C:\Test\BackE ndAccessDB.accd b’ is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides”
Note, that even though you have specified a new location (C:\Test_new\ BackEndAccessDB .accdb), the error message still refers to old location (C:\Test\BackEn dAccessDB.accdb )
HOW TO AVOID
Do not set flag Append Only on Memo fields in linked tables
HOW TO FIX, IF PROBLEM IS ALREADY PRESENT.
In the back end database sent the Append Only flag in Memo field to No.
In the front end delete the linked table and re-create again
NOTE:Problem is seen on Access 2007 (12.06.6606.100 0) SP3 MSO (12.0.6662.5000 )

Just wondering, is it possible to report this to Microsoft as a bug?

In the context of LATEX, some Pythonista asked what the big
successes of Lisp were. I think there were at least three *big*
successes.
a. orbitz.com web site uses Lisp for algorithms, etc.
b. Yahoo store was originally written in Lisp.
c. Emacs
The issues with these will probably come up, so I might as well
mention them myself (which will also make this a more balanced

I have a simple 192-line Python script that begins with the line:
dummy0 = 47
The script runs in less than 2.5 seconds. The variable dummy0 is never
referenced again, directly or indirectly, by the rest of the script.
Here's the surprise: if I remove or comment out this first line, the
script takes more than 15 seconds to run. So it appears that adding a
redundant line produces a spectacular six-fold increase in speed!

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.
