    tee hee Foxpro 2. DOS

    Yes, I started with that. I was taking classes for my Associates degree, and we were in a dBase class...but I used FoxBase + instead, it was already more advanced and faster than dBase +. I stayed with FoxPro into FoxPro for Windows, then Visual FoxPro, and right up until the end, VFP 9. Then Microsoft discontinued it...even though it blew the doors off of Access, always did. They actually tried to fix up Access by stealing the Rushmore engine from VFP, even that didn't really help it much. I think they killed VFP because they wanted more companies to use SQL Server. They get a hell of a lot more money for that product! I have moved on to that in my own website, since that's what my hosting service uses. I could never afford to purchase it myself.

    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 :)

    ...took the day at leisure in the sun after completing my errands yesterday
    .
    Just received my state tax refund cheque today so the Federal one can't be far behind. Guess all the issues with the e filing were worth it as usually I don't see anything until mid to late May (or even early June).

    Today, partly cloudy but still very nice temperature wise. Monday looks like the worst of the lot with showers and temps in the 50s but by Wednesday/Thursday we will be flirting with 80°.

    I hear that. Had two ruptured disks surgically removed in the '80s. Sciatica left me with permanent nerve damage in my right leg. Twinges from time to time. Walking regularly for exercise helps my twinges stay away, although sciatica is never truly gone, is it? You learn to dissociate from a certain amount of pain with enough practice. Human brain can be wonderful thing in some ways. :)

    ...mine stems from when I was a kid. Was at a park with a couple friends and we were on one of those large swing sets (with the U-shaped canvas seats) using a picnic table to launch ourselves from . As I was swinging back, one of my friends shouted "look out" but before I could react some bullies came up tipped the table up and I slammed into it with my lower back.

    Since then, I've always had back trouble.

    ...back then it definitely wasn't and since society wasn't as "litigious happy" as it is today, there was no recourse other than them being grounded by their parents for a week and losing their allowances (which only made the surlier).


    The one small silver lining in all of it, caused me to be classified 4-F for the draft years later.

    Certainly sounds like litigation would've been quite justified to me.

    ...keep in mind this was the early 60s, long before there was any notion of transference of responsibility. The best one could have hoped for would maybe getting set them to "juvie" for a month or so where' they'd only learn how to become meaner.

    Only the well-to-do and businesses pretty much filed lawsuits back then a it was so expensive.

    It was a whole different time.

    As a person diagnosed with advanced crippling Arthritis just 4 years ago, and watching it slowly transform my body into new and sometimes very odd shapes. I can understand lot's of the past posts. Pain of any kind can and does just become normal if it is not so bad it puts a person fully down. I thought all my pain was brought on from the many years of working as a stock manager (heavy labor). I just forced myself to push on and deal. My Doctor goes out of his way to point out others in his office that are in wheelchairs who have much less damage to their bodies than I do. I only need a cane to help me walk to this day.

    It does sadden me to know so many I consider Friends on the forums also deal with pain as part of their daily life's. Be well all. And as Doctor Allon tells me half the battle is up to you. Never give in, fight for better in any and every way you can, face each day as it comes. It's all we can do.

    How true. I was warned by my GP (I was lucky to have a very good family Doctor back then) after a sports injury that I would probably end up with a form of arthritis later in life (Somewhat hereditary) I took his advice on how to work round it and also did some research on how to try delaying the onset etc.

    I didn't give up sport completely, just worked with the advice, part of which included watching the diet and being careful as to what sports and excercise i indulged in. I was successful enough that I managed to train for and run a marathon when over 40 ( part of my life begins at 40 campaign) and managed to finish and raise a 4 figure sum for Arthritis research, my chosen charity. I no longer do any sport (or much excercise) but I have managed to avoid the really crippling effects that both my Mum and my younger brother have had. My younger brother had both his hips replaced before he was 50 and is registered disabled now, but still a biker, even if his bike has 3 wheels now instead of 2 and gears and brakes controls on the handlebars. My mum had to give up things like sewing, knitting and embrodery due to her hands, but I manage to handle a mouse quite handily now, although don't have the fine control for the dressmaking I used to do at least I can "draw" the designs I used to be able to make.

    do while vs do until - perplexed :-/

    Usually, in the UNTIL loop, the condition is checked at the end of the block of code, so it is always entered at least once.
    In the WHILE loop, the condition is checked before entering the block of code. So if the condition is already met, the code is never executed. This is my understanding, anyway.

    oh! thanks.

    thinks i need the Until. trying to populate a summary list in a form footer.

    i put two unbound text boxes at the top of the form with datepickers. so the user can specify a date range for parts used.
    now i need to make the footer to sum up each part qty used in the date range.

    maybe cuz i ouchied on too hot coffee, not thinking too clearly at the moment, doh.

    i dunno?
    normally i'd subform with a crosstab query, but the date range needs to apply before the summing.
    i don't know how to make it work 'on the fly' with vba. though, i've set up arrays in vb6, it should work in vba?
    concatenate each loop iteration with a vbcrlf. yeah but then it has to export nicely to excel. so, i should add a textbox control for each loop with partname, sum qty. surely someone had the same need and came up with an elegant and easy solution, i'm a believer in not reinventing the wheel

    Picked up a new mod for Civilization IV and have been giving it a spin (After a two hour download time. 1.2gb file!!), and I hafta say it really seems like a new Civilization game xD

    Lotsa new stuff added into it while still (IMO) keeping to feeling like a Civilization game and not a "Let's add everything I think is cool and thus totally break it" sort of mod ^_^

    Oh yus, and here's the Mongols beating me to a location I wanted to put a city by a mere three turns. I have some stone age warriors outside it preparing to declare war. When I found the genius had moved all but one unit out of the city, I went ahead and did so. I only lost two units in the attack and immediately razed it to the ground >:3
