Looking for direction?…
I’ve been witness for the second time how people like to be creative on the wrong way. Instead of inventing a new fragmentation, why don’t use existing one? What I have on my mind is to copy country post office route organization. It’s very simple, since all what we need is available to everyone. You do not need anything else but ZIP/Postal code of the cities! Continue reading ‘Use Zip/Postal code to organize distribution & routes’ »
Couple of years ago I’ve faced with unpleasantness when I’ve upgraded couple of Windows 98 workstation to Windows XP: FoxPro 2.6 applications simple consumed so many system resources that everything is hit: printing takes longer than usual, network traffic throughput is reduced since processor does not have free time to deal with these issues, it’s mainly occupied with currently running MSDOS session with foxpro application within. Some recommendation was to adjust idle sensitivity settings on shortcut but it does not solve the problem: depend of settings you can choose between two extremes: to confess all resources to foxpro process, or to take them from it (in which case foxpro application is running very slow - almost useless).

Several months have passed since I’ve become a proud owner od Western Digital My Book 750Gb External HDD which came in blue carton box (this version shipped with eSata, 2xFirewire and 1xUSB ports). Initially it was or I choosed to format with FAT32 file system since there were no requirements for some security issues and that was reason to discard NTFS option. After two months I’ve realised what mistaqes it was. Due to 2Gb file size limit I was unavaiable to store my several vmware virtual machines on this drive, they required more additional work (to split virtual hdd into files of 2gb) and after this there were no problem with my virtual machines.
For the last several months I’ve been trying to find apropriate solution to track my money incomes and expenses, together with budgeting… I’ve been tested several solution but if they were good enough there were not free, otherwise they have lack of functionality… I’ve spend some times on some spreadsheet documents I was able to download and try to adjust them to my needs… Even I made them suit my needs, it was only for the limited time due to lack of spreadsheet design and logic… I have had difficulties to reconcile with fact in case when I borrowing money to my friends, I’m the one who should record this transaction and later remind them to pay me back… And I’m not making any profit in that! It was too much… Then I’ve decided to look for some online solution and on third attempt I’ve discovered Buxfer!

Of course, you can perform those analyzes in Excel itself but doing it using Access is both much more comfortable and error-proof.

IsError function is used to check for errors in expressions or cells. At first sight most usefull case when you will need to use this function is to suppress division by zero error automatically. If not, you can always check for #DIV/0! cell by cell - but it would be inappropriate use of all this comfortable technology. This can’t be done without IF function which one is described in previous post on this website right here. You can save lots of your time resources and energy just by using combinations these two functions. Continue reading ‘MS Excel: ISERROR Function’ »

for this post is another post about bug in Excel 2007. It is not small bug, it is 10 000 - 65 535 = 34465 of something (dollars or euros perhaps). Anyway, my post is not about Excel. When I heard for this Excel bug I asked some of my in-love-with-microsoft-friends a question: ‘is there some microsoft’s program without bugs?’. There was many answers (there is no bug less software etc…), but one of them says that there is one program that is 100% bug free - NOTEPAD!
