    replied to Certification(s) on top of CS Degree?
    Hey,

    The best thing that I can think of is not so much in certifications but more in experience. With the technologies you know you could very easily work on some web development (Not websites but web applications) and with a little bit of research you could make the transition to mobile as well.

    I recommend creating a github account and put all of your personal projects onto it. You can also freelance and build a resume...

    replied to Certification Courses
    You could always get your certification online... Although it will give you certification on paper in these languages, it will not necessarily give you any skill. You can know the syntax and the basics of a language and remain a bad programmer. I suggest practicing by developing programs that interest you, solving programming puzzles for learning algorithms and like lyodmichael said, stay connected and view questions and try to answer them. If you...

    replied to How do I become an IT Consultant?
    Hi there,

    This is what I did to become a consultant. I was hired to do a project for a company over an 8 month work term. Once the 8-month term was completed I was no longer needed as a full time employee. So I became an independent contractor and work on a contract on a as needed basis.

    You could always take a look at e-lance. Maybe you can find some work and built a consulting resume.

    Good luck

    Hi there,

    I'm sure someone out there has made a porting tool. However, I would do it the old fashion way if I were you.

    Porting tools generally do not work well unless your input code is very well written. If It's only a small MATLAB program, you could always try but if it's something substantial, I would start by designing some type of class diagram and possibly identify all the functions that you are using in the MATLAB...

  • Hi there,

    You are not using a selector for your Id's.

    Id's: #idname
    classes: .classname

    try this,
    Code:
    #www {width:500px}
    #header {background-color:#6c0;width:500px;height:200px;margin-bottom:0;}
    #menu {background-color:#9F6;height:400px;width:200px;float:left;}
    #content {background-color:#FFFFFF;height400px;width:*px;float:left;}
    #footer {background-color:#6c0;width:500px}

    Creating a report with a crosstab query.

    Hi there,

    A customer has asked me to create a report based on a cross-tab query. The data base schema is attached below.

    The query must contain the following

    ScrapCollection .regNum,
    ScrapCollection .PTEtotal,
    ScrapTireType.d escription (As the Pivot)
    ScraptCollectio nTireType.amoun t (as a sum aggregate for each description)

    This is the query I have at the moment

    Code:
    PARAMETERS

    replied to Help with a MS Access report.
    I found a solution! I was using a Date/Time format on my controls. I think it was messing up with the actual format of my parameters. Instead I used a regular text box and set an input mask to it. It worked.

    Help with a MS Access report.

    Hi there,

    I need help with a report I am trying to build for work. I have a simple for called "AuditTotal " with two Date/Time fields "start_Date " and "end_Date" and an open report button. My report has a query called "AuditPTETo tal" as it's record source.

    Once I fill out the dates and press the open report button, I would like the report to show up and display the data retrieved...

  • Thanks for the reply but no luck. It's really weird because I have referenced forms fields in queries like this before and have had no problems. Could it be because I am using a query as my source for my cross tab query?

  • Problem passing in parameter dates from form to query. (Urgent)

    Hi there,

    I have a form with which I enter data. A sort order, start date and end date.

    Once the data is entered, a report is generated. But I get and error.

    Error: "The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '[Forms]![AuditPTETotals]![startDate]' as a valid field name or expression.

    This is my crosstab (AuditPTETotals _CrosstabDateRa nge) query which uses the data retrieved...

    MS Acess 2010 Expression Builder using queries

    Hi there,

    I am currently working on an Access 2010 project and I am having some trouble with the expression builder. I have to populate 5 fields using the sum function. I have attached a screenshot of the report for a better idea.

    The following 5 fields (Passenger, Agricultural, Truck, ATV and Forklift) need to be populated the "TotalPTE" sum of each respective tire type.

    To do this, I wrote...

    Creating a form to enter parameters into a report

    Hi There,

    I need to create a form with 3 fields (registratonNum , startDate and endDate).

    I want to make a report that will show data based on the registrationNum passed into the form during the time frame (startDate to endDate) specified in the form. I'm new to access and I can't seem to get this to work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Use a code repository such as Tortoise SVN to help you keep track of your code. It will let you roll back to previous versions when needed.

  • Well if your looking to keep track of tasks, you may want to develop a GANTT Chart. This will show you the timeline of your development project with the tasks involved and task dependencies. This will help you divide the work up between people since it will tell you what tasks can be completed at the same time and which tasks require the completion of others. You can easily develop a GANTT Chart with MS Project. Or you can draw one on a whiteboard...

    That's true. Also pietersen9, you might want to get some developer tools for your web browser (i.e. firebug for Firefox). I find it really helpful to see the code behind what you actually see. It lets you inspect the elements and debug the JavaScript. Good Luck!

    That makes sense now. Their name is quite misleading. Learn something new everyday :)

    replied to Centering navigation bars
    Try using
    Code:
    text-align: center;
    for the elements that you want the text to be centered. I see that you have
    Code:
    float: left;
    by having that your li and ul elements will be floating towards the left. You might want to take that out if you don't want that.
