In the first contract job I had, I noticed that every night, one of my colleagues started a VB program to go against the company database of 30M records. It only wanted about 3K records each time it was run. When I asked him why he started it just before going home, he said it took 20+ hours to extract the data. When I got back in the morning, I looked at the code. The code for extracting the data used dates in the VB format rather than the database format so it was passing all 30M records back. A couple of changes and it ran in less than 5 minutes. I stayed there 4 years and rewrote a number of progs written by the same programmer plus a lot more from scratch, of course.

I am doing this kind of things, but I stick to VBA and all the tools are in an .xla file for the company.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The Data that I have show that unwarped minds never get the impulse to join CP.

Due to the fact that within the next week or so I intend to pay out and rip up my credit cards, I thought it would be a good idea to cash in all of my reward points first. I placed 2 separate orders for different items, approx 1 week apart. Both times, the bank sent me an e-mail telling me my goods had been dispatched - between 3 and 12 hours after they had actually arrived.
Cheers,
Mick

I find I am always writing protocols to talk to lots of different scientific and industrial instruments. The quality of the documentation on these protocols varies widely. More often to the worse side. They often take a lot of experimentation to understand them.
Originally they were over com ports. Now they are often over Ethernet. Often they use their old com port protocol over Ethernet.
I need a terminal program that will show non-printable characters. It should also have function buttons to type strings that contain non-printable characters. I have looked for years but never found any thing. Does anyone know if one exists?
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
