Solved my problem with TableEditor last night. I decided to load the database into Access and then went through the “Tools/Database Options/Convert/Save as old format” (or words to that affect) menu options and then loaded the subsequent access database onto the web. Hey Presto – it worked! Hope this helps anyone else who is getting the “database is read only” when trying to edit the main database.
Posting and publishing via bloggar is now working again. Nice to see that at last! AND they hope to have version 3 out in a week or so. This will support Title and Category options for Moveable Typers too. Interestingly its a brazilian author and the first version out will be in English and not his native language (which is a relief for me!)
HOORAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have *finally* got proof that I successfully completed my Java course last year (Jul 2001) They sent me the certificate today after I complained again on Friday that I had still not got my results of the course work. This morning I received the certificate, nice and soggy from the rain that says I passed two credits on a level 3 Open College Network course on Technical Computing, subject Java – and it was dated August 2002.. I think the college put their clocks back just a little too much!
For the past couple of weeks, every second time I run something from the start/run button such as “c:\temp” I get the message “Explorer has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log has been generated.” Any one had anything similar (note that this always happens every other time I run the command, usually resulting in explorer bombing out and recreating the shell again. I also need to find this log file it is generating.
A southern girl babbled that her boyfriend took their dog for a walk yesterday (with photo). I was amazed at the number of people who were walking their dogs and jogging yesterday in the absolutely disgusting weather we were having. It was chucking it down with rain, bits of trees were being blown down or bowling along the road, and there were these people jogging (and getting soaked by the rain and from the spray the cars were throwing up). Before you ask, we were in the car, and I decided to turn round and go home as it was far too horrible to be outside. I spent the day doing a Terry Pratchett jigsaw. It’s only a thousand pieces, but its REALLY difficult.
Interesting! The chat that the Pipex bloke had with ASDL Guide mentions that they are going to provide free dynamic dns services to its broadband customers (ie me!) in November. That is very handy as the one that I previously had has expired and they wanted paying for it (and it was not worth the money). Nice one Pipex!
Tried to install and use the new version of TableEditor. This gives you the ability to edit an access database such as my comments database, from a web page. Unfortunately the system insists that the database is readonly, which it isn’t. Have logged a call on the developers site, so we’ll see what happens.
A new web greeting card scam has been found out. Apparently when you try to install the card it installs two activex components. The small print says that by installing this app you agree to let them send emails to everyone in your address book – nice! Thanks Mike
UpdateDon’t bother sending me a card from this site as the email will be blocked (use “*you have an E-Card from* ” in your subject filter) but I will probably be changing the rule slightly to catch any change in subject to bypass this sort of filtering..
Seeing as though Blogger was hacked yesterday, I’ve changed all my ftp passwords on various machines that I post to AND changed my blogger password. If you haven’t already done so, then I’d advise you do the same. To change your blogger password, sign in – select My Team, click on yourself, edit profile and change the password. This took me some time to find as the help index pages were broken! From the sounds of it, passwords were changed to a 1 so I don’t think they got the original password but you never know!
