Most importantly, Bloglines is blocked here at work
Why? Time-waster? Or do people use it to read naughty blogs?
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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

Probably timewaster. It seems like anything with "blog" in the name is blocked. Seriously. For example, I can get to wfmu.org, but not blog.wfmu.org.

Microsoft Access 2003: I need an expression that takes the difference between two numbers, but returns 0 if the difference is negative. In Excel, I'd use max(num1-num2,0), but I can't find an equivilent in Access. Does it exist, or do I need to do an IIF statement?

what am I thinking....
or do I need to do an IIF statement?
Yes.
The lack of a Max() or Min() function in VBA is annoying. (Not to beconfused with Max and Min in SQL.)
eta: OK, here's a worse way of doing it: ((b-a) + Abs(b-a))/2

Ha!
It is annoying though. All I needed was a way to make a number between 0 and 100% (i.e., no negative percents and nothing greater than 100%), and I had to use nested IIF statements. Ridiculous!

You could do:
IIF(b-a <0 Or b-a >100,0,b-a)
(Assuming the numbers have already been converted to %.)
eta: Oh wait, you pro'lly wanna convert >100 to 100, right? Then you gotta do the nested IIF.

Forget the b-a part. That was just an example. I'm actually taking a complicated quotient. But besides that, I think your logic is flawed. Your statement returns 0 if b-a is greater than 100. It should return 100.
t edit Yes, your edit is correct!

If you have to do this sort of calculation a lot, you could just write a function to handle it.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
could someone post the link to the mobile version of google reader? the standard version keeps crashing my treo (java) and my flight's delayed an hour...
