    CFMX WDDX Serialization Problem

    As it turns out, we have some java that is creating the hashmap that becomes the structure. To get around the problem we found that casting all the values in the hashmap to strings then building the table works ok. I don't get why serialization causes a change in the actual values when they are...

    CFMX WDDX Serialization Problem

    When serializing a rather large structure I am having numbers (e.g. 1.8) being changed (e.g. 1.799999999532) for not apparent reason. I have double checked the structure and the packet and the number is definitely being changed during the serialization. Deserializing does not change it back...

    Bad Software - Is there a Code of Ethics?

    Don't hold your breath. The website was last updated in 1998. ;-) Anyways, I don't think it is the Software engineers that need to sign a code of ethics. It is management that has to. With statements like: "I will not allow scope creep." "I will get the developer the required...

    People taking things the wrong way

    Joking or not, you crossed a line and put a threat in a document. That was just ignorant of you (you did not consider how she would react).

    Exactly what is "software"?

    Software is a very vague term as the debate here has proved. It is easy to differentiate what is not hardware but classifying it further is getting more difficult. XML, for example, is not only the raw data, but also can explain how it is organized. So more and more, I think definitions will...

    Importance of Primary Keys

    How important are primary keys in a SQL Server database? I know someone who says it is common practice not to use them. Is he out to lunch?

    What is the future of eBooks?

    Peter, I think ebook88 is right. You are going to have to be more specific about the tiny bit of advertising going on. I cannot see it at all, it must be buried beneath the whole lot of advertising going on. ;-) Jude

    creating carriage returns in a memo field

    Criteria from text field on form

    I would like to have the criteria of a field in my query to come from a text field on a form. [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtComments] is populated by a VBA function that will parse and format text from another field. I then want to use [Forms]![frmSearch]![txtComments]as the criteria for the field...

    Sql error in Union qry

    I think the lack of reply might be due to the fact that what you wrote is confusing to understand without the DB in front of me. It may be easier to understand if you avoid using numbers for query and variable names (even just for the explanation). I would love to help you but honestly you lost...
