Yes.
But the point remains, I still haven't seen a VB6 rate that I would consider if I really liked the language. You would think people would pay to get out of the mess but they are more interested in continued digging. I have pitched many companies on a 6 month plan to rebuild that is cheaper than their 5 year plan of keep doing and they all scoff. Good luck when they can't find a disk drive for the install. (At least I can actually pen and paper VB6 [actually I do so the summer before last])

I'm doing quite well on it at the moment
Believe it or not I'm also converting VB3 code to VB6 ... not by choice I hasten to add!! A senior manager read somewhere that there was a free program that could be downloaded to convert 3 to 6 and decided that was the way forward

They failed to mention one critical point. Constantly changing requirements lead to less than ideal code...
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I don't understand a thing about this, but it seems like an achievement, and involves CP.
Well done, then !

Congratulations, Marc !

I don't like the idea that the administrator can view user files/documents. Do you think the current windows user management should be changed?
|

That's the whole idea of an administrator: he is supposed to be able to see things - otherwise he can't fix them for you when you have a problem...

But Griff, he's got some very important pr0n on the machine that just crashed, and now he doesn't want the admin to find out WHY it crashed!

Sounds like:

Don't knock them. I've got rid of all my cloud backups - I figure I can just get it back from then when I need to.

OT: The admin is the owner. It's that simple.

Simple: create a super-admin role.

Eventually, we'll have the amazing-stupendous-iron-man-super-admin role!

I may have given the impression that England, as the current holders of the Ashes, would be going to proceed to an easy victory down under.
Sure of our dominance, I intimated it would be a stroll in the park byu our superiour batsman and aggressive bowlers and that it would be a simple case of turn up and win.
I apologise, for it seems that we are a bunch of useless twats who do not know one end of a bat from the other and who are now looking at a complete beating at the hands of the Ockers Sunshines.
