S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

God, Kubuntu is driving me crazy with these random little breakdowns. I can fix them, eventually, after teaching myself command line, but this whole switching to Linux business isn't as smooth a transition as I had hoped.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Does anyone recall any lawsuits involving an ad-blocking service or program? (I.e., your computer renders a web page with all advertising deleted.) It's for work and I can research this question other ways, but I thought someone here might remember hearing about something like that.

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

I don't recall ever seeing any. I did a search on techdirt (http://techdirt.com/) which covers lawsuits involving the net pretty well, but didn't find anything other than a couple of posts about advertisers being upset by the practice.

Thanks DX! That is useful. Someone else reminded me of the Gator litigation, which might have been in the back of my mind, even though it's a different type of program.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am having some stupid trouble in Access 2003. I have a form. It used to open up with the classes sorted in alphabetical order. It is now opening with the classes sorted in creation order. The form properties box has Classes.ClassName in the Order by box. The form has subforms, which used to show the students sorted in Alphabetical Order, but now they to, are appearing in creation order. WTF?

Is the form based on an underlying table or query? If so, check to see how the table or query is sorted. My guess is that the sort order there has changed.

Thanks! That has worked!

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

sorry - way xposty

What's the recordsource of the form? Table or query?

Whenever I want to sort a form, I always use a query or SQL statement as the form's recordsource. The way you're doing it should work, but since I never do it that way myself I'm not sure what's going on there.

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

Anyone run a desktop clock in XP? I'm looking for something that displays seconds.

The recordsource is a table-- but I frankly did it that was because I am using a template, and that is the way the template did it. I just went into the table, sorted the table, and now it sppears to be sorted correctly.
