whether we like it or not - the way we are seen

Question for the world

Would anyone out there be interested in a humanity tick?
I mean a website that celebrates companies that look after their staff in countries where they don't have to - like good working conditions, hours and reasonable pay.
The tick on their website would have direct link to a website that has links to other companies who also look after their staff, and explain the humanity tick.
Or if anyone knows a website out there already doing this please also comment.

Welcome to New Zealand -

where you can still escape jail the old fashioned way - yes you can tie bed sheets together and get out climbing down the wall.

"Remand prisoner Aaron Stephen Forden, 26, used ropes and bed linen to climb from a tower at Auckland's Mt Eden prison over a wall and down to freedom."

I can't stop laughing

I have come across an annoying problem with vba code (in MSAccess)

I have come across an annoying problem with vba code (in MSAccess)
because I am wanting to make the command prompt open admin items like active directory and remote desktop with sign in as password after entering the admin username in a form.

This almost works except for one problem, if the mouse moves off the command window (command.com or cmd.exe) the code for send keys stops working and I am having trouble finding another way around this issue as call shell does not seem to like the amount of code. So please comment if you know a way round this please.

sample code below;

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Private Sub cmdUserNameAuckland_Click()

Dim PauseTime, Start, Finish, TotalTime
Dim p As Variant
Dim adminUsername As String

adminUsername = txtUserName
Call Shell("c:\windows\system32\CMD.EXE", vbNormalFocus)

PauseTime = 5 ' Set duration.
Start = Timer ' Set start time.

Do While Timer <>
DoEvents

Loop

Finish = Timer ' Set end time.
TotalTime = Finish - Start ' Calculate total time.

SendKeys "cd c:\", True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
SendKeys "runas /user:domainname\", True
SendKeys adminUsername, True
SendKeys " ", True
SendKeys """mmc dsa.msc /server=server""", True
SendKeys "{ENTER}", True
Exit Sub

End Sub

I have the bestest idea - pitty I don't have a shop

Time to fight back you physical shops.

Online shops - people order what they want, and then have it sent to the gift recipient.

well you physical shops - why don't you take the opportunity to take advantage of letting customers buy what they want, fill out the card in their own hand writing choose the wrapping paper and you send the gift for them? :-)

Love your mate Suz :-)
