Re: Thank you MS, for everything

Thank you for your sincere and insightful response. I was, as you understand, interpreting the lack of discussions on the forum as a decline in relevance. But your viewpoint makes much sense, we're a dictionary and many just read and no post. Anyhow, I'm not abandoning MS in any way shape or form, j...

Thank you MS, for everything

My journey to where I am today started back around 2010, when I began creating tools in Excel/VBA. VBA was a great start, but it didn't take long for me to realize its limitations. After testing a few alternatives, I came across Macro Scheduler in 2012. That discovery became my gateway into serious ...

I'm not trying to be a smart a**, just trying to help. I feel like I'm the most annoying customer/user you have come by. Sorry about that!

Re: MS Help

I think you can jump to bookmarks using switches: https://pdfobject.com/pdf/pdf_open_parameters_acro8.pdf

That way it would be context aware.

Re: Chromedriver disables Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

If it's a button and you're able to solder some wires onto it you could use a USB HID relay. I've used this approach before: https://github.com/pavel-a/usb-relay-hid https://a.aliexpress.com/_EzDyCKd I've used it to reboot devices during flashing of software (at our company). As seen here, open up t...

Re: Dialog Designer Help

You're not using an event handler for what you're trying to do. You just check the states after the (modal) dialog is closed: Dialog>Dialog1 object Dialog1: TForm Left = 255 Top = 105 HelpContext = 5000 BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu] Caption = 'Select Option' ClientHeight = 211 ClientWidth = 476 Color...

So, how I would do this: Creating the database and setup the ODBC connection Win+R (start the run command) odbcad32 Add new datasource Select the Microsoft Access Driver Create a good name for the connection ...

Re: EnvVar (Get/Set)

I would use a simple access database (file) for this.
