Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sue, if I understand what you're trying to do, you'd need a form with two separate subforms (or a report with two subreports). The form would be catalog items, and the subforms would be pieces and photos.

Doing this is an Access thing rather than an SQL thing....

Oh, I have the form. The form works swimmingly. I need to have this all in a query. So we can run it on a website.

Anyway Supposedly it is fixed on the other end, but I'm still going to play with it. I feel that I'm at the point with db's where I have to learn a little programming to make it do anything more.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

there are intermediate levels of the product, one of which does allow you to save fill-in form data, but doesn't allow you to alter the form.

Do you know what the intermediate level would be? I'm curious because the Adobe Reader help file certainly makes it sound like you can export and save data from a form using Reader, if the form has been set up for it:

If the author of the Adobe PDF document enabled the Fill in Form features, you can export the form data to a separate file. Exporting form data lets you save the existing data, which you can then send via email or the Internet. You can save the form data as a tab-separated text file, Forms Data Format (FDF), or in XFDF (XML-based FDF files).

Note: You cannot export or import data in Adobe Reader unless the Adobe PDF file has special usage rights assigned.

on edit: Please to forgive the excessive posting. Next time I'll wait to see if posting worked before hitting the sticky mouse button a million times.

Our wings are not tired

Here in Los Angeles, and from the looks of it in a few other cities Best Buy is doing a Trade In program. I'm thinking about taking, quite literally, a truckload of my old electronics over there and putting whatever I get towards a Plasma TV. Has anyone by chance used this program?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've been told they are very picky.

"Technology Trade-In will only accept products in good working condition with all applicable remotes and accessories included." for example.

We accept the following Computer products for trade-in. All products must be in working condition. All trade-ins must have intact serial numbers and include all factory remotes, cables, cords and any rechargeable batteries.

Select desktops
Select laptops & notebooks
Colored (sic) monitors 14" or larger
(four years older or less)

Yeah, I'm not taking any computer stuff to them, it's all home electronics. I've got a couple of TV's, a few receivers, a second X-Box, a Radar Detector, a couple of HP laser printers. I figure even a few bucks for the stuff is better than nothing.

Yes, that's true. And? less to move or find a disposal method or even the hassle of selling.
