did you migrate recently to O365 ?

And, of course, we are just assuming that there aren't other factors involved that are unknowns that make the VRTX make sense where we might otherwise not thing about it. It's good for massive capacity in a small, quiet space, for example. We only know the most high level details here.

Also this post is related, see below:

When it comes to Zoho Creator, like many apps you may see around the interwebs, most companies have moved to a layout which is a 2 or 3-panel layout which is a big plus for me. I use Quickbase and the design layout kinda is lacking, however, with their new CEO came a newfound investment in ironing out some layout issues and simple api issues.

My biggest reason for loving Zoho creator would be how it integrates with what I consider to be a life blood for some smaller companies which is basically Zoho Social and Zoho Connect. That helps enable communication to your clients/customers (Social) and inter-communication (Connect). In comparison, it is what Facebook for Workplace is going to become in the future.

Zoho has actual phone apps (big plus) while Quickbase doesnt (just a web app with a style sheet change). I love Podio in that it is built up from the ground up to be mobile app and web friendly and quick to extend it's functionality.

I would assume the key features your looking at are:
-custom reporting
-easy of development
-cost sensitivity
-what you consider as mail merge

I re-read your OP and I want to say if you're just trying to make a tabular/spreadsheet report out the box Zoho does that just as much as anyone else in low-code dev.

Sounds like you may be trying to wing it and just push through, but I would suggest watching the webinars (which they have tons on their site and youtube). Also 3rd party people like myself make youtube videos as well detailing the design/development process. It is there just one quick google 🙂

Also I don't mind helping wherever I can!!!

@garak0410 said in Rewriting VBA Macros from Excel 2013 to Excel 2003 - Works One One Sheet Only.:

I think I am closer...the first worksheet doesn't have column D protected. The rest of the pages do have column D protected. If I unprotect column D on the other sheets, my macros finally work.

However, management wants column D protected.

This worked fine under the recorded macros but not the rewritten ones I had to make to support Excel 2003.

Have the Macro unprotect the column and then protect it again as the last step?

If the drafters are so valuable perhaps hiring a min wage person to sort things will pay for itself?

If you don't have 12 trays today, then the number of trays is clearly not enough. Lol

Have you seen the "joystick" mice? Anyoen try those?

3D mouse? I played with one at PAX the first year. It was interesting but not something I'd use.

The "joystick" mice really kinda suck. If you're gonna go that way, go with a full 3D one instead. Engineers I supported would kill if anyone took theirs. 3D design is so much faster, add a trackball for the "normal" mouse and it's both faster and more accurate (not as much moving hands between keyboard and mouse to type the exact placement in.)

@garak0410 said in Excel to SQL - Need Some Normalization Tips:

So, what I am looking for is the proper way to store these notes in a database and have it tie back to the matching customer. I've imported this into SQL and while it worked, I still have the problem of how to display the data from the columns. Management stills wants one large field that displays the notes, most likely with a vertical scroll bar to through through them.

Do not worry about how to store the data.
Start with what you need to end up with and how it will be entered.
Those are two different things.
But those two will form the basis for what your data will have to be.

So supposing you have these entry fields.

ID Customer (multiple fields for info, name, account #, etc.) Note 1 Note 2 Note 3

You were posting about making multiple tables and getting close to 3rd normal form.

Works great, and is good design of course, but you also need to think about the purpose of this application.

But do you need to get that complicated? Any relational database can take all that in a single table with as many columns as needed.

The purpose is to see what special requirements there are for certain customers. We currently have 145 regular customers who have special needs when we design a building for them. We want to be able to display the customers in a cleaner format and also make it easy for a designated person to update as needed.

And I am, for now, going to use Access because I need something quick and within my current skill level. And yes, when my skills expand, I do plan on redesigning this. The main problem I am having is displaying the notes. Each single note per customer is it's own field. For example, look at this wizard:

0_1489002763830_access02.jpg

In creating a form,. it's wants me to select each note field and ends up looking like this:

0_1489002881856_access03.jpg

This isn't want management wants and it will also cause problems for customers who need more than 16 "notes." They want to see the customer name, address, contact number and all notes associated with it. It would be nice to see all notes in a scrollable window. Not sure how easy that would be with Access but I'm thinking it would be. This is where I may be confused if I need normalization or not.

@scottalanmiller said in Access Web Application With SharePoint Online - Set Relationships:

I feel like, and of course I am guessing, that you are caught in a world of "get it down now, screw doing it right" which is causing every project to take more work than it should and more effort to support long term making it increasingly impossible to get on top of things to do it right to start fixing the problems.

Sort of...on this latest project that is taking "too much time", they now just want to create 146 separate Word documents with the needed data rather than give me a little more time to come up with something on my own.

And this point, it would be easier for me if I could run this Invoice Ninja (self-hosted) on my Windows Server 2012 R2 Applications/Web Server but even had struggles getting that going...

Did you try @Romo's installer for it? Should make Ubuntu 16.10 the easiest option since it is known to work already. PHP, MariaDB and all of that on Windows is quite a pain, in general.

She is more concerned with Contacts and photos...so....I manually set an iCloud backup on old phone and she will leave phone with me overnight as it does a backup over our WiFi here at work...will see if her new phone slowly syncs that new data...otherwise, I will try the other suggestions listed above...

I bet she fills up her new 256GB iPhone in record time...

Contacts are stored .... where? Not in something like GMail or whatever?

She does it all on iCloud...

That almost seems impossible.

iCloud backs up automatically when you are plugged in and on WiFi. Unless she was never on WiFI the past year.

She is never (or rarely) on WiFi and if she is, it may be because her phone is so full, it never completes a WiFi backup in the time she is in WiFi...she doesn't use WiFi at home...just cellular data...since this phone is no longer activated, it has to use WiFi...

If that phone has been sitting in your office for days (like the week you've mentioned) did it not try to backup over your WiFi already?

OK She's never on WiFi - sounds like an actual, real life backup solution needs to be discussed, she's breaking the typical (WiFi based) one.

I've tried...so many times on backup solutions for her...she is nice about it but doesn't trust it...she is so worried about losing her pictures...I've been trying to get her to accept a backup plan for a few years now...

LOL - so worried, but so unwilling to do anything about that worry. Well, one day her phone will die, and the backups won't be there, then she'll see where her concerns really were.

Her words say one thing, but her actions clearly say another - really Scott should be making this post not me.

Yeah, where's is @scottalanmiller

Let him talk to her. LOL.

@Dashrender said in Most Workstations Don't Ping But Are Connected - Some Network Apps Are Locking Up:

I agree probably a NIC issue. I'd do a TCP stack reset. Of course that will knock it offline, so after-hours.

NIC on the virtual host since the file server is on a VM? Not everyone is locking up...but tends to be the same 4-5 people...can't imagine that many NIC's causing it and I've yet to duplicate it on my machine, WHEN I have the time...

Yes, on the VM, not the host.

I don't know if this is the right way (but I've found a few articles that do it this way online as well) but I create a user called xzy calendar. I then give access to that calendar to everyone who needs it. tada - all uses have access to the calendar in Outlook.

@JaredBusch Oh... I need to read better. haha

@BRRABill said in Phone Photography - 4:3 Vs. 16:9 and the Dreaded Vertical Position:

@scottalanmiller said

It's amazing how many good photos are ruined by this. It makes so many things unwatchable. Videos are so much worse than photos. Photos you can excuse sometimes, there are times that you can do that. But not with videos, at no time is vertical video okay.

I'm confused by your statement in the context of this thread.

Are you saying you are OK with the quality hit to keep it in 16:9?

No, I'm talking about the resulting pictures. If there is a phone problem that it is not doing 16:9 well, do 4:3 and crop it if you want to display it.

I get texts and iMessages from the same person intermingled on my iPhone.
