@garak0410
Is the original document already an excel spreadsheet? and in this function that e-mails the document you also want to "save As" the document?

This is what we use in one of our vba apps, it saves the excel to a new name in another folder.

SaveAsFileName = "s:\Sales Docs\Quotes\Sales\" & Forms!Call_Ticket!Combo101 & "-" & Forms!Call_Ticket![Project Name] & ".xls" xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs (SaveAsFileName) Set xlSheet = Nothing Set xlBook = Nothing Set xlApp = Nothing

At first, I was thinking this was a PXE boot. Those damned hackers are evil beyond compare.

Always default but I move asap to dark themes.

Same

Don't know about you guys, but most people use dark themes because they strain their eyes with the light themes.
But the problem is not the theme, because you shouldn't get eye strain with a light theme. The real problem is that the monitor is set way too bright. Like a lot. Monitor brightness should be about equal to the ambient light level. Bright monitors make for punchy images but horrible ergonomics.

Light themes are great with "Night light" mode turned on in Windows 10. It reduces the blue light a lot and is less bright.

I use dark themes + night light + min brightness all day long.

Not at night time?

Every hour of the day or my eyes bleed... Well maybe it is not the min brightness but a close value for sure

Anyway, you couldn't really do any serious applications with gwbasic. It was followed by qbasic a little later.

I was in time to get to do both. Still have the original GWBASIC manuals!

I just did a little with both. But this was around the same time that Borland released Turbo Pascal and at least in my view it became the serious language to make PC applications with in that era. It was almost instant compilation and it had a very good IDE.

Although this seems weird:

Our list of improvements includes support for voice communication

Why include that? Don't bog the editor down with stuff like that.

Literally hundreds of apps that will do voice communications better then this. I can guarantee they'll be using Skype as a backend.

Atom would not have access to Skype.

My mistake I thought it was the VS Live we were talking about.

Looks like Harvard has followed suit and is blindly following Stanford into moving their CS program closer and closer to just being relabeled software engineering.

@Lakshmana Get a good book and work from console. There's a reason a lot of languages do it like that. Do all the practice exercises for each section until you get them right and understand them.

@scottalanmiller Ok Thank YOu .Its already suggested by thwr

Whoops 🙂 Well it looks like a good one.

Really? Cool!

Haven't used it myself. But it is out there and specially designed for this use case. Can call C libraries directly too.

@Ambarishrh based off of builtwith.com I am working with ASP.NET

That's a start. So that still leaves you with dozens of language choices like Perl, Python, F#, Ruby and more. But 99% of the time the site that is ASP.NET will be built with C# or VB.NET. So you'll need to look at the code to determine which one, but C# looks like Java and VB.NET looks like it was written by a little kid, so they are pretty easy to tell apart 😉 No seriously, they look nothing alike, so it's normally super easy to tell.

@scottalanmiller Certainly could be.

He has over 1,200 posts, one of our top posters over the years.

OK this sounds kinda cool.

I wonder how much this will impact CPU investment in the next 24 months as the needs of the cloud computing world start to scale back temporarily.

Have you guys at ownCloud looked to see if there are significant changes in memory for these speed boosts? Like is more or less memory being consumed?
