I have an Access database question-
I have a "memo" field in my database to put directions to certain rooms in my confirmation. It is a memo field because the directions can be longer than 255 characters. The way the database developer here set up my confirmation emails, it is a mail merge to word. In the word document, the directions are truncated to 255 characters, which means I have to type in the directions each time I send the email, which sort of defeats the purpose of the mail merge.
The database developer says that it is just the way it is, that there is no way around that-- does anyone know if this is true?
I found this: [link] but am not sure how to solve any of the problems.
Or to have more than five damn screens available.
Launcher Pro has seven...
ADW.Launcher has up to nine.
I have Launcher Pro on my phone, and ADW on my tablet, and I was doing research to see if it's worth paying for Pro Plus, and apparently it's abandonware. So I can't decide if I should toss all the tweaking I've been doing to that and put ADW on the phone too.
I have to admit, I do like the foldering better on ADW, and it's even better for a small phone form factor...
Hmm.
Sophia -- Can you split the directions up into several text fields so that none are longer than 255, and then concatenate them after they're brought into Word? It's not elegant but it should work.
That might work- thank you Jon!
The amount of branding all over these laptops I am configuring for my family is teh nast.
Is there a way to replace the screen that Windows 7 shows on shutdown, or when you're logging in from having locked the machine? Basically, I want to get some of the instances of "Acer" and "Samsung" and strange glowy neon artwork off it.
Also, in terms of free or shareware applications that are compatible with the most recent Office Standard formats--what would you recommend?

I've used this software to change the Windows 7 startup and shutdown screens to my company logo for my rental machines.

Oh, excellent, ND. I bought an Acer already. I don't need to be advertised to anymore, and it's not one of those brands that makes me warm in my pants every time I get purchase affirmation or anything.
