    access is driving me buggers today and the internet is letting me down.

    trying to transfer data from an access form to excel spreadsheet.

    this works beautifully,

    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdExportExcel

    but
    'PLAINNNNT
    then an annoying dialog comes up with a prompt to save export steps. doesn't seem anyway to suppress the bugger. searches internet hi and lo. foxtrot echo hotel

    See here for two solutions. ;-)

    Well I have some nose hair like any other person, but no gold.

    Yes, but they don't know that...

    How can I give Genesis golden nose hair?

    Zev0 has "nose hair" as one of the options in his ManFuzz package else-shop. Now, take that, and apply some suitable gold shader to it.

    Alternatively, use LAMH or Garibaldi hair and do the same...

    Out here, in Central California, it's Summer already... in late April!

    With 90+ degree days, nearing and breaking records that have stood since the early 1900's... back in the days when our civilization was burning dirty coal like a son-of-a-gun!

    uh oh... warning signs... a record-breaking number of record-breaking days... that slightly nervous look you've been seeing lately in your local weatherman's eyes...

    Cracks in the edifice of climate, folks.

    Yup, I fear we've done too little, too late to stop the problems now. Doesn't mean we should stop trying, but I think the "good old days" are behind us.

    ...... well... the question, then, is whether or not we're going to be able to do anything at all... about it, at this stage.

    Especially given the undercurrent of tone we've been seeing, these days, in certain commercial advertising... paraphrasing such as:

    "We employ lots and lots and LOTS of people all over this country AND it's been the BEST YEAR on the Gulf Coast EVER!"

    ... not to mention that attractive and friendly lady whose been asking us:

    "do you own an annuity? Do you have a retirement fund? Do you have a bank account? Have you done anything at all with your money aside from stuffing it into your mattress?... Chances are, you own part of an OIL COMPANY!"

    ( ... implied threat: "Don't rock our boat... or you may loose it all! )

    ... wonderful...

    And then, of course, she reassures us of a steady supply of clean, safe, and reliable energy... for years and years and years to come.

    Yeah, they're still trying to convince us that coal is clean. :smirk: And now the tar sands, that's really a great idea. Pipe that right through our country, but sell it elsewhere. Sounds like a really good deal to me. They're still trying to clean up the first tar sands pipe burst spill, and that happened a couple of years ago. It's supposedly highly corrosive, so don't count on the pipeline to be very dependable.

    I love BP, too! Those commecials about how much they'e helped the environment and helped to get the gulf states back in business. They make it sound like they did it out of the goodness of their hearts, when actually they did it because we made them do it! If there weren't courts telling them to fix their mess, birds would still be coming to land with oil all over them!

    ...reached 77° today. Absolutely beautiful. Sat at the pub with my chums& mates enjoying a fine hard cider by the pint.


    I remember going though Astoria on the way to/from long beach WA. In the Harbour was the Exxon Valdez which was rechristened the Exxon North Slope. Bad ju ju as the mariners all know.

    Was the last Sunny and dry day here for a week they say. High was 78° and just those NICE BIG fluffy clouds floating over. I took a long walk, I'll pay for that tomorrow, and enjoyed it very much.

    ...currently listening to a full performance of Messiaen's Turangalila Symphnnie performed by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain at Royal Albert Hall.

    One of the mot powerful works of the last century.

    Heck even our local (professional) symphony doesn't have the kohones top perform this.

    Then again, there aren't many in this country skilled in performing on the Ondes Martenot (an electronic instrument form the 1940s.).

    I once wrote a piece for kazoo quartet, but the professional kazoo players are all soloists so sadly, there's never been a public performance.

    A little sunburned tonight after a lazy day on the water. Didn't go far, just enough to leave the jet skis and runabouts out of earshot - an almost perfect lazing around kind of afternoon except for plowing through a pile of sludge floating just sub surface enough not to notice until it got churned up and started to smell eeeeow :)

    Minor Complaint: I have absolutely no idea what's going on here, but I've got this resource needed for transports and destroyers in CivIV, it's got a mine built on it so I can harvest it and it's got a road hooking it up to my cities, and yet it still says I don't have any access to it (Obviously untrue, since the tile says it's "In use/being worked" by the nearby city of mine) and don't own any resources of that type. Just to experiment, I opened the World Builder and spawned another source of uranium elsewhere and it still said I had none of it. Pah!
    I was unable to upgrade my Galleons and Frigates until I got my Oil Well built because of that =/

    This has never happened before, and it's quite annoying.
    I've checked everything possible - I'm not trading any units of uranium away to anyone, I've got the needed techs, there's both a road AND a railroad hooking it up, and so on. =/

    *EDIT* Tch, found the answer. It's one of those "Poorly documented" things in the game - Uranium is like Oil in this: Revealed early, but can't be used until much later. Researching 'Physics' reveals it and allows you to build a mine on it, but you can't harvest it until you research Fission - which I do not have. (Oil you can see very early, but can't use or harvest until much much later)

    So yeah. No bug or anything, just something I haven't noticed until now xD

    Good plan. I hear in some cases they can also be subdued by liquid gold injections. Possibly they trade that with the Pollen Trolls.

    I thought maybe the second solution would work for you. I do not work with Access, so I can't give you any personally gained nuggets. I went straight to FoxPro and Visual FoxPro when I was programming.
