Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm looking for something that displays seconds.

The built in clock (the one you see if you double click on the time in the system tray) shows seconds.

Yes, but I don't want to have the Properties window on display all the time. [eta: I'll surely change something in an AltTab mistake]

I futzed around and found Qlock, which fits my needs neatly. It'd be even better if it floated transparently on top of everything, but I'll make do.

Thinking of buying an LCD television set? Wait no longer: The price plunge is over. After years of accelerating decline, prices for consumer LCD TVs -- especially those smaller than 32 inches -- have hit bottom, industry insiders say.
