    XLApp: Page-Count Member

    Hi, I need to put a new header on each page of an Excel spreadsheet, but I can't use the "rows to repeat at top" option because it doesn't suit the client's needs (too many alternative rows to repeat). Anyway, without having to keep count of the rows, I was wondering if anybody knew...

    C++ General Methodology

    VB6 has a list of reference libraries for connecting with SQL, Access, Word, and Excel. Does C++ have something similar? ----- The death of dogma is the birth of reason.

    C++ General Methodology

    Hi, I'm going to start teaching myself C++ in a few days. As a VB6 programmer, I have a basic way of going about making my programs. I know that it's going to be totally different in C++. I was wondering if there are some basic steps to putting together a program in C++ that should always be...

    VB gurus no like VB.Net

    There are a lot of really bad programmers out there, period. But of course, most of them are beginners, and we can all forgive beginners for being bad at something at first, can't we? It’s the one’s who have been in the business for over two years and they still don’t know the basics. Then...

    VB gurus no like VB.Net

    You're sending chills down my spine. I'm a VB6 programmer who just convinced his boss to buy the MS Visual Studio .NET, primarily because I've heard that the C++ editor was the best, and we need to write plug-ins for a plant control system in C++. I'm a little ticked because from reading and...

    Own Business vs. Get a Job, what should I do?

    cian, You must be European, because Americans do NOT get 30 days paid holiday per year. Many of us are lucky if we get one freaking week vacation, and I think there are about...six paid holidays per year. And salary does suck, because it's just another way for the company to make you work 50...

    Does Binary = Boolean?

    Thanks Cheyney, Is that a 1 or 0 value for the bit? ----- The death of dogma is the birth of reason.

    Does Binary = Boolean?

    Hi, Visual Basic 6 has a boolean variable. I'm using VB to transfer some data via DDE from one machine to the SQL database, and I was wondering if binary was the same as boolean, i.e. true or false, off or on, 1 or 0. Kind of a stupid question, but my help files for SQL aren't responding...

    Own Business vs. Get a Job, what should I do?

    I'll always encourage a person to stay in business for themselves, especially someone so young. This corporate world is getting worse and worse by the year. ----- The death of dogma is the birth of reason.

    class vs module

    I've been curious about this, too. I've seen classes used in places where I just would have used variable types, but the example I saw had a comment by the programmer that said the class was better. Honestly, it's hard to find any documentation that explains the pros and cons of classes in any...

    Average of an Average

    harebrain, The SCC is just one factor. The "weighted average" of all farms isn't really relevant, but they include it on all the reports anyway. There's no way I'm going to tell the QA guy, who's been doing this for five years with the blessing of the state inspector, and who's...

    Michael, As a professional, I agree with you totally. ----- The death of dogma is the birth of reason.

    Average of an Average

    Harebrain, I couldn't agree more, but what's a guy to do? It's not my call. FYI, cows are never migrated from Farm A to Farm B. Farm A might have 4,000 cows, and Farm B might have 50, and those numbers pretty much stay the same (until Farm B inevitably goes out of business). :( Thanks...

    Average of an Average

    Frederic, SCC is somatic cell count. A somatic cell is a white blood cell. The higher the count indicates a sicker group of cows and inferior milk. SCC is what causes milk to spoil. It goes up every time the milk leaves a non-refrigerated place. So if you open your fridge, pour the milk...

    Average of an Average

    Hi All, Yes, I'm reading them right now. Just got back to the office, Monday morning. My QC man wants the average of all farms, which is the average of the average. I guess that's the way they've been doing it and that's the way they want to keep it. I pointed out that it was not the same...

    Collecting from Clients / Best Way

    I can't see how they can possibly claim ownership if they have not paid you, except that the original code was done by another contractor. Good luck. I agree with the Lawyer angle. One face-to-face is enough. Better respected than liked. ----- The death of dogma is the birth of reason.

    Studio MX 2004

    I just bought the Studio MX package about three months ago, and now I'm miffed and tempted to upgrade to the Professional version, mainly because of the video improvements. By the by, check out this Flash, pretty wild: "The Last Hula Doll&quot...

    Collecting from Clients / Best Way

    That would be a nightmare to me. Looks like you're going to have to take them to court. As programmers and designers, we should code our programs to "self destruct" after a certain period of time unless a certain code is entered, sort of like the way shareware stops working after a...

    Best work on your SQL parameters. The apostrophe (') is causing SQL errors. You need to trap that somehow. A real easy way is to use a replace string and replace it with (`). ----- The death of dogma is the birth of reason.

    Average of an Average

    Hi, This might be off topic, but I was hoping some of the math majors out there would know it. We have to average SCC counts per farm at this plant. When I take an average of all SCC counts for a given set of criteria, the number is 268. But the department that I'm writing the program for is...
