    That's an odd name. In the US, the term "on the fritz", means that the device isn't working right.

    No, again. Biden is walking a difficult path. Parts of his base support Israel in whatever they do, while parts oppose Israel. He also doesn't get along with Netanyahu very well. He gains nothing...

    Generally, that's done by joining the two tables, assuming you have fields that can join the table. You'd want to get away from *, if you do that, though * would still work after a fashion. The SQL...

    Re: [ON PAUSE] - MS FlexGrid edit..

    Don't do that. What you have there is a spin wait, or busy wait. It causes the CPU to run flat out while doing nothing. A few years back, I ran a test where I compared the power consumption on a...
  9. VS 2022 Re: Countdown timer starting and ending time issue.
