Thanks a bunch Jo!
I'm going to check what mine are set to. I suspect they are either default (likely) or high (for no good reason) and I'd like to bump...

As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it. Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents to this. I know this isn't a "new" topic (created back in Feb), but I wanted to play devil's advocate a little bit.

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but I've never heard of a primary key index. As far as I know, you can make a table with a primary key that...

I would get some git system. Downloading and storing files on disk is not a good long term solution for source control. GitLab (for example) has a free tier that...

I think that is expected behavior. Naming a computer with a \ is not a supported configuration in Windows (server or desktop). BUT I think that isn't quite what is...

I'm really good at starting personal projects... finishing them is a different matter though. I have so many little projects on the go that I need to finish one day....

I think it really depends on how much the data is going to be changing. Where I work, the data changing in the database is slow. Some of our databases...

My opinion - Access is the wrong tool for the job. If you have a SQL Server standard (or higher) license, use SSRS for this instead. Report creator uploads the...

First, I'll say I've not done this before, but wanted to give my opinion on how I'd approach this problem.
I'd say test it out. For issue 1, I'd use the...

I know you already did this manually, but I'd recommend using something like Visual Studio/ADS (I think this is being retired)/VS Code and GitLab/GitHub. I recommend some self-hosted git so...

My opinion - it depends on what they consider "duplicate" and de-duplication.
Are they meaning on the row level or column level? At the column level, if you have a lot...
