Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Apropos of nothing, a few weeks back, I partially signed up for my free upgrade from XP Pro to Vista Pro. I only partially completed it in that I only ever filled out the info stuff on the web site. I never completed the second part -- which was to fill out a card and send it in with my receipt for my computer (something I didn't actually have).

I have received an email notification that my upgrade is whipping its way to me through the postal system.

I guess the two sides of that weren't connected.

Hey. New board.

Don't do it!

Oh, I have no desire to actually switch, I'm perfectly happy with XP. I just want to have the upgrade CD in my possession.

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

Anyone do PHP PostgreSQL programming? I'm wondering if there's some sort of PGSQL equivalent to MySQL's mysql_insert_id function.

I'm not sure I ever tested the equivalent on MySQL, but when I thought of retrieving the last serial # in PGSQL it seemed easy enough to get the last serial # but of someone else's more recent transaction. Maybe a stored procedure?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have a quick Access question. I have a subform with a field that counts the number of records with =Count(*). What I would like to do is exclude some people from that count, ones who have a 'Yes' in the the field "Cancelled". Is this possible easily? (If it isn't, I don't need anyone to spend a lot of time on it)

THanks

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

Yeah, it's simple. Say the subform has the recordsource "myQuery", then you could use the DCount like this:

=dCount("*","myQuery","Cancelled=Yes")

Assuming Cancelled is a binary field. If it's a text field, put the 'Yes' inside single quotes.

Is that what you wanted?

Thanks! It is exactly what I wanted!

Oh- Except for the record source is (I think) an SQL statement that is SELECT DISTINCT ROW [Studentsandclasses]-- does that make a difference?
