Re: [CGUYS] Foiled and Refoiled by MS Access

I think the trend is towards using off the shelf specialized database programs and systems and not to hire someone to create a custom DB. It's the natural effect of having created a lot of code over the years and an increasingly specialized world. You might try to get on with one of the big

Hello all: Happy New Year to you. For probably nine years I've been developing MS Access databases (without formal training) and have had success when I was the only one needing the DB.   The problem I'm finding as I mature as a coder is that few people outside of my bubble actually use or own

Location, location, location :-) Richard P. My OTA reception of ATSC is better than NTSC. ATSC got rid of the ghosts and there are so many more channels. Much less reason to pay cable fees with the much improved free OTA that ATSC brings. Now I have 1 year to find a good deal on a Tivo HD.

For that matter, digital signals in general are problematic if you're getting your TV over the air, without a cable or satellite hookup. The signals are more directional, so you have to have the antenna pointed EXACTLY the right way for each channel, or you're out of luck. The signals are also ef
