Hi, I don't think it's the attachment, it's just an Access report and it worked for the first couple of times. It won't even let me open an email with no attachments. I'll look into the using the Microsoft Outlook Data object reference. Thanks Rosie "It doesn't matter how beautiful your...

I have a button on a form which opens an email using DoCmd.SendObject, it was working fine then suddenly started to produce an error message "Microsoft Office Access can't send this email message" I've tried creating a new database from scratch with a second form which has a button that opens a...

I just had a bizarre conversation with a car salesman (nothing new there) he asked my preferred colour, I said that I quite liked the "Bronzy" coloured one. After a long discussion we established that the official colour was "Galaxy Grey" (ummm, it's brown with sparkly bits). He then said...

Be clear on exactly what your department is trying to achieve, document it and make sure it fits with what the company needs. Then feed that back to your manager and get agreement. Set your targets, and identify the priorities. Agree a work plan for each of your direct reports, with quarterly...

Thanks guys. I was a bit concerned because I never get spam in my gmail inbox and I had recently had a UPS delivery. Email duly dely deleted and reported. Rosie "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's...

Mr Jones, latin teacher! He just threw the blackboard rubber at misbehaving boys - hard, or pushed their desks at them! Girls had to draw elephants, 20 for a minor misdemeanor... 30, 40, 50 and so on, depending on the level of the infraction - and they had to be decorated artfully and...

I've just had an email from Fechheimer Uniforms: UPS Returns Label Delivery This notice tells you that a UPS shipper has sent you an electronic UPS Returns Label. You can print and use this label to include in your outbound shipment, or send it to the consignee. The label will be available...

Ah, daps, I remember them well! We had them in Chepstow, which is just across the Severn Bridge. (Though there wasn't a bridge there then, just the ferries, the Severn King, Queen and Princess.) Rosie "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it...

(Lionel, I'm a huge fan of Feynman and this quote just struck me as perfect! Thanks!) Rosie "It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong." Richard Feynman

This is daft! You asked for holiday, it was approved - it is your manager's job to ensure cover. However, I suspect that your employer is trying to take advantage of you - talk to your union rep. Failing that, talk to your Citizan's Advice Bureau - they're very helpful. Rosie "It doesn't...

Nicely put SQLSister! John As you well know, I have a similar problem, but generally I just schedule the upgrades - usually there's statutory requirement buried in each and the costs are just resource time. However I have recently hit a problem, servers not upgraded from Server 2K, no longer...

You could legitimately ignore him - he's clearly a pain! But, personally, I'd go the friendly route - visit him, explain why you were on his PC and what you did - it's part of your job to check everything is working OK. Ask him to contact you if he's got any problems with his PC. And let him...

[b]hinesward [b\] Relax, take a deep breath, and check your backup! You have, of course, tested your restore routine! And have a full restore procedure fully documented! Oh, and I fully sympathise - I've just discovered I've to upgrade a portion of a system, with no test system, just suck it...

I think that you need to apply common sense. If it's a minor infraction, like leaving a workstation unlocked, a gentle reminder to the person concerned should be enough - though you should make sure that you do it privately. If it seems that they are an habitual offender, and they ignore...
