You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Hi.

I have really, really fucked up a database that someone else built.

It is an order database, made from the templete.

I was trying to make a query so that I could find all the money deposited on one day.

It told me some of the tables I used weren't related, so I created some relationships and then I got nervous, so i deleted what I thought were the relationships I made.

Anyone, I think I deleted something important, because now the order form won't add up the total of the items ordered.

I went back and create the file from a template again, and I checked all the relationships and they seem to be the in my database as in the template, but still no adding!

I have a suspicion that somehow an order ID number is not being created (because there is a relationship between orders and order details and I am sometimes now getting the error message that there is no order to match my order detail number.

Help!

Actually, I fixed the order number issue, but the not adding up thing is still happening.

The tables involved are:

Customers Orders Order Details and the field that is not adding is:

=[Order Details Subform].Form![Order Subtotal]

Nevermind.

I just asked IT to restore the backup copy from yesterday.

If one was to, say, take an .mpg file and burn it to a cd, would it automatically play on a DVD player? I'm new to all this stuff.

vw-

I could on my old DVD player, but not on my new one. I think you can search your player here:

Oooooo...that's not good, as I won't know what kind of DVD player I'll be playing it on, since I'll be using one from school. Hmmmm...

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It depends on the DVD player. I think you'd have a much better chance if you could make either a VCD or a DVD.

I can't make a DVD. How do I make it a VCD?

If you don't have a burning program on your machine, I've heard people say good things about VCD Easy. Possibly even here. It's got a free trial.

What's the main issue? The size of the file? Or the fact that the room has a DVD player but not a computer?

This. There's no projector in the room, so I need to be able to play it from a DVD player.
