Your Questions About Affiliates Define

Question about filtering a datasheet on MS Access (via VB)?

The way I am filtering my (subform) datasheet is by manipulating its SourceRecord property. “SELECT x, y, z FROM [table] WHERE [filter]”

I find it is easy to filter data that is organic to the table. For example:

=TABLE 1=
[ID], Project Name, ProjectStatus
[1] Project A, Complete
[2] Project B, In Progress
[3] Project C, In Progress

=TABLE2=
[ID], PersonName
[1], John
[2], Bill

=Table 3= ‘relationship table
[ProjectID], [PersonID]
[2], [1] ‘shows that john works both projects (B & C))
[3], [1]
[2]. [2] ‘bill works only project B.

I find that I can filter the status of the projects because it is a part of the data. Yeah, I can define status by a value, but let’s say I define it as text. I can filter it with WHERE ([table].ProjectStatus = ‘Complete’).

What if I want to filter by all the jobs that John has done? How do I do that?

Now, I know I can create a recordlist “SELECT * FROM [Table3] WHERE PersonID = 1″

This yields all the projects that John is affiliated with. But then how do I use this filtered Table 3 to filter Table 1? I want the result to show all the jobs that John has completed.

If there is a different method, or I’m taking the long route, please let me know. Thank you.

Tom answers:

You need to join the tables together with one-to-many relationships and then use a query that draws on data from tables.

Access makes this very easy: open the relationships window and add every table

In the Project Table 1, grab the ProjectID field, then drag and drop it on the ProjectID field in the relationship table Table 3 A dialog box will appear: click on the Enforce Referential Integrity box (and the other two) and click OK.

Do the same for the Personl table 2, dragging the PersonID field in the Person table 2 to the PersonID field in threlationship table., enforcing referential integrity.

Close and save the relationships window.

Now open new query in design view and add all three tables: select person Id and Project and place 1 (for John) in the criteria field:

Run the query to find the projects John is assigned to

William asks…

what are good and evil?

Are good an evil just factors of a social and moralistic values set by different people, can good an evil be manipulated within a social community, or are good and evil just factors that we use to present certain things we would affiliate them with?
Therefore if this is true then good and evil are only what we perceive them to be which means that they can be manipulated (setting aside moral values of human nature, nurture debate would go on forever) by who sees fit, so can this effect the choices we make as people towards a social community and can change our perceptive of life because if we cannot define the good and the bad on a psychological level (taking into account bad experiences and good release certain chemical hormones within the brain), then how do we define reality itself as being a constant with conciseness with no right or wrong?

Tom answers:

Good and evil can be defined by certain people at cetain times or in certain places. However there are certain actions that are seen as evil/good by a majority. For example murder, rape etc. Those sorts of actions are seen as “evil” around the world irrespective of race or country of origin. However there are other actions that are seen as good/evil by some and not others. For example, some people view killing animals as evil wheras others view it as good. So in india killing a cow is seen as higly immoral/evil where as in the UK its fine.

I think there is a definitive good and evil but after that its a grey area depending on the person there upbringing and also their lifestyle choices

What say you about this: Just 53% of Americans believe Capitalism is better than Socialism?

Here’s the article (released 4/9/09):

Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 20% disagree and say socialism is better. Twenty-seven percent (27%) are not sure which is better.

Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better.

Investors by a 5-to-1 margin choose capitalism. As for those who do not invest, 40% say capitalism is better while 25% prefer socialism.

There is a partisan gap as well. Republicans – by an 11-to-1 margin – favor capitalism. Democrats are much more closely divided: Just 39% say capitalism is better while 30% prefer socialism. As for those not affiliated with either major political party, 48% say capitalism is best, and 21% opt for socialism.

The question posed by Rasmussen Reports did not define either capitalism or socialism

It is interesting to compare the new results to an earlier survey in which 70% of Americans prefer a free-market economy. The fact that a “free-market economy” attracts substantially more support than “capitalism” may suggest some skepticism about whether capitalism in the United States today relies on free markets.

Other survey data supports that notion. Rather than seeing large corporations as committed to free markets, two-out-of-three Americans believe that big government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors.

Fifteen percent (15%) of Americans say they prefer a government-managed economy, similar to the 20% support for socialism. Just 14% believe the federal government would do a better job running auto companies, and even fewer believe government would do a better job running financial firms.

Most Americans today hold views that can generally be defined as populist while only seven percent (7%) share the elitist views of the Political Class.

Thoughts?

Tom answers:

I think it is interesting mainly in that younger people in the States don’t seem to be afraid of the word ‘socialism’. It’s tiring to try to explain to people that communism is not socialism, that western nations (including the US) have socialist programs that work well, etc.

It’s also good in that politicians may have more backbone to go ahead and put in the regulations needed and the social safety nets required for a modern mixed market economy to work well. Conservative scare tactics should be on the upswing in the next few years, me thinks.

Peace and good luck USA

Is my paper owned by MTV?

I went on my newspaper’s website and found this under about us. Does this mean that MTV either owns our paper and/or the articles we submit?

MTVN = MTV Networks, fyi

Tom answers:

It means that a company called “MTVN” owns the website. It is a subsidiary of Viacom which is the parent company of MTV among MANY other companies. So, no not really. Your website is owned by the company that owns MTV.
