You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That would be too easy.

C'mon, it'll be good for you in the long run... :)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Ok-- well I will muddle through, but I really do not know Visual basic at all... So I followed the steps on the website for sending a message from Access 2003 with Outlook 2003. And it worked! Sort of

What it is doing is looking for an address in my outlook box, but I would like it to take the emails from a query I have set up in Access, from the field "Email"

Current the part reads

Add the To recipient(s) to the message. Substitute ' your names here. Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Nancy Davolio")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Andrew Fuller")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC

Do I just add the field in there or am I way out of my league....

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

A local group I'm with wants to run a forum they point to their own URL to. They are not looking for free forums, because of wanting to point their own URL, not wanting ads, and wanting do their own moderation. I mention the "leftish" because they want a host who is not easy to intimidate if they offend someone who screams and tries to get their site pulled; essentially it is going to be a safe place in cyberspace for currently serving military and veterans in the a particular small geographic area who think the Iraq war is a bad idea, or are seriously considering the idea. Obviously politics is not the prime thing you look for in a web host - but at the same time a business relationship is more comfortable with someone who does not find the whole point of your website deeply repulsive - especially if they may occasionaly face harassment by lunatics for hosting you.

Ideally we would like to host to run the forum software, so that it can be run by volunteer who may not always have web savvy people available. But we are open to the idea of a virtual server set up (like the one the Buffista rented from Kristen at one time) provided the host can recommend software that has been tested on and is known to work well with their standard setup.

Maybe the way to go is with a group blog type set up? Typepad is not horribly expensive, not political, but used to wingnuts on all ends of the political spectrum trying to get blogs they disagree with pulled, and you don't have to do your own hosting. But a blog even a group blog is not really the same as forum - because of the distinction between posts and comments.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It looks like some Sony CDs will try to install DRM software on your Mac, also: [link]

It doesn't look as stealthy and underhanded as the Windows rootkit, though. Also, Macs don't automatically run programs when a CD is inserted, right?

If you can get virtual hosting that supports PHP you could use phpBB

I've used it for a church website (yeah I'm an atheist, it's weird) and it's really easy to install and manage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is there a stable way to move one's My Documents (or basically the Documents and Settings structure) from the OS drive? I'm trying to separate apps from data as much as possible, and I have a few apps that insist on defaulting to My Whatever all the time. And I keep running out of space on the wee C.

If you figure it out ita, let me know. That drives me batty as well.

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

Did you look in the registry for... um... anything obvious?
