    Reporting Phishing emails

    Hi all, I have seen where Amazon, eBay, Paypal, and most banks have email accounts where you can forward phishing emails that you receive. I was wondering if there is really any value in this to them, or is it something to make end users feel like they are helping. Thanks for any insight...

    Why would you do that?

    It is usually easy to find things that show you "how" to do something, but there is much less that indicates "why" you would want to do something. I am wondering if someone in their wanderings has come across a site, a book, a blog, a podcast, whatever the format, that discusses different...

    Seeking Dropdown Advice

    Forget it. I'm just really dumb. Didn't notice that I had accidently set the DataBinding event for one of the DropDowns to Page_Load. "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything." -Vonnegut

    Seeking Dropdown Advice

    Ok, I've had some time to look at caching but I am having problems. The form that I am populating has 33 DropDownLists that are populated from database tables. There are 25 unique lists, 4 of which are reused to populate 3 DropDownLists each. Currently I use simple wrapper classes with fields...

    Seeking Dropdown Advice

    Hi all, I am working on a Data Entry project in VS 2005, so .Net 2.0. Some of the pages will have quite a few dropdown lists that get their values from a database. I was wondering how people usually handle this situation when they face it? There will be 4 people regularly inserting data in the...

    Data validation

    sorry for the delay the structure is: pk social pk purposeOfEval pk providerID pk evalDate employmentStatus primaryIncomeSource drugOfChoice ageOfFirstUse primaryDiagnosis and many more fields along the same lines. "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless...

    Data validation

    the tables mirror a state mandated data collection scheme for the non-profit that i work for. for the different tables, for instance a substance abuse evaluation, there are different reasons for the evaluation (ie. admission to the agency, one time assessment, normal discharge from the agency...

    Data validation

    Hi all I just have a question about how people manage Data Validation. I currently have some very ugly code (a series of if-then-else statements for a very large number of fields) in a function that is called by the BeforeUpdate event, but I am looking for some insight into how other people...

    Inserting Access Data into Word Document

    Thanks for the input everyone. Modifying the bookmarks seems to be the easiest solution. If I have any more questions, I will let you all know. Thanks again for always being there with good suggestions. "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said...

    Inserting Access Data into Word Document

    Let me try and rephrase the issue, perhaps that will clarify what I am trying to do. I have a word document that has a set layout the needs to be maintained. The users have to submit this form in its current layout, and I have no control over it. One of the users has asked me about putting...

    Inserting Access Data into Word Document

    I don't think these will work the way I want. They involved setting up forms in Word as part of the creation process. I am dealing with a form that was designed to be printed and then filled in by hand. None of the fields are useful in the way that these articles point to. Thanks for these...

    Inserting Access Data into Word Document

    Using the information found here: thread702-1454687 I have managed to get all of the access data copied into the relevant portions of the word document. The question that I have is if it is possible to insert the data while maintaining the spacing layout of the original form? I have a form in...

    detect changes in unbound form

    An update, if anyone cares.... While looking at the array option I noticed that the recordset value still showed my old value, so what I have decided to do is tag the control to match the position that the field comes up in the recordset. To see what has changed in a given record, I can loop...

    detect changes in unbound form

    You are correct, that is exactly the thought process I was going through. And I believe I also like the 4th way of using an array to maintain the values. Thanks for the response and the link.

    detect changes in unbound form

    I know with a bound form you can use me.dirty to catch if the record has been changed, but is there a way to do the same thing with an unbound form, short of manually checking each field vs old values? "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said...

    Default value turning string to number

    Thanks for the quick response. That works, but any ideas why that would work and what I was doing wasn't? That doesn't seem like the intuitive step one would expect just to set a string property with a string variable.... "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless...

    Default value turning string to number

    OK, I don't believe that is quite what is happening, but I can't find where it is being changed.... Here's the situation: I have a field called ServicesID that looks like 1-01. It is a string value. When the user adds a new record, they can continue with the same ServicesID, and I use the...

    web filtering and samba on a home network

    The reason why I haven't put them on the same subnet is that I keep having problems when I try it. I don't want the laptop filtered, just the windows desktop. I may well be missing something when I try and put them on the subnet. If it would work they way I want it to on the same subnet, then I...

    web filtering and samba on a home network

    Hi everyone. I have three computers: a windows laptop, a linux box, and a windows desktop. I was recently tasked with coming up with a web filtering solution to prevent a 12 year old boy from looking for the sorts of things 12 year olds sometimes look for. I have managed to hack around my...

    Calling access functions from Outlook

    I'll take a look at it to see if I can figure it out. Thanks for your time. "Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything." -Vonnegut
