I do not have this setup to test. But the first thing I heard about was an uploadlimit in IIS 8.5. I'd check into that.
https://www.google.com/search?q=IIS+8.5&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=IIS+8.5+upload+limit

I haven't used this but Fancybox looks to let you put HTML code in that popup. Said HTML could have an image from the looks of things.

I've seen this and the causes are all over the map. While you think you clearly showed the effect, the cause can be so many that no one might guess. But don't give up. It's not like there are no prior discussions about this but too many. Then you run into folk that want to think "it is doing that, it must be caused by this." With that idea out of the way we move forward.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/ff0e1dcf-a535-4fbb-8543-de08cf55be9a/windows-81-all-windows-minimize-randomly?forum=w8itprogeneral kicks around a few ideas but I always lead with a scan for malware.

Since you have only one user, then by design you are not logging what each user is doing and audit logs may not be very useful.

MySQL now has audit logging ( https://www.google.com/#q=mysql+audit+log ) so my advice is it's time to up your game (improve your design.)

You can take any number of approaches from changing your code to log each SQL request per user. That is, even in VB.net I can get the PC's name, username, IP address and write that to a simple log file or make a decision it's time to change my entire design. Your choice what to do next. Lots of options.

Having dealt with such before. It's all up to the client what they want. For me I made the leap over to C# since I wanted to move away from VB6 and prior. It also made deployment easier.

This looks familiar. What are lines 10 and 11 for?

Sort of. You would choose what language you write in and then see if there are priors on SMS senders. No one can know what your SMS gateway or hardware is so you set the direction and pace of your work.

Once you decide on your direction, you write the code, debug and if reach a point you can't make work, then you share and ask for ideas.

Some folk want others to code for them. So far I haven't seen that in this site.

Tell more. https://www.google.com/#q=mysql+to+sms finds gateways and video examples but you may have left out a lot of detail. No one can guess it all. But past that, more forums don't write code or databases for you.

To me this doesn't sound like MySQL will do it all. You have to write an app to receive the SMS, do the MySQL query and maybe fire back the SMS. SMS hardware may be required along with cellular accounts and more.

Here you go. Read http://ss64.com/nt/syntax-variables.html to learn what most are. My bet you don't need all of those and let's see if you read it. That is, I see how to set them permantly (until you change or delete) but some folk don't read articles they just want it fixed for them.

While you could rot13() the strings that only obfucates the app a little. Your password is then exposed when I run it. How?
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/password_sniffer.html

I can't guess why anyone would use SMTP today. It may have to die.

Anyway, I googles ROT13 ONLINE (those words) and there are tools to type in a string and get the rot13 string back to put into your clear text areas. Then you use your rot13 function to decode when needed.

Tell more. The usual LAN and such can support about 254 IP addresses. What is "running out of IP" since it can't be addresses unless there are config errors there or you really do have 250 clients.

Just a simple check. In the past Coldfusion didn't log on a stock install. Did you enable logging? Remember I'm outdated as it's been a long time since any client ran that.

My story is about helping someone change a tire. I grew up where folk pitch in and help so out on the country road someone with a flat. It's slow going so they waved and we pulled over. Now I don't mind helping but once they showed where the tire, jack and lug wrench was they had the gall to go sit in the car to wait. No they were not infirm and on top of that they wanted the flat tire and tools put away proper.

Some people. In spite of that, I'll still pitch in. My buddy and I could not believe it.

No need to reply. Thanks for hanging in there as I only have helped a few of our Access folk at the office and never used it in my apps. But there is some commonality to VB(1 thru .NET!) so I don't mind digging into it. Folk that can work with that are nice to have around.

I am now wondering about the Form name. I read an article and this code snippet to get the current form.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa223199%28v=office.11%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

    Dim frmCurrentForm As Form
    Set frmCurrentForm = Screen.ActiveForm
    MsgBox "Current form is " & frmCurrentForm.Name

You know your code and form names, I don't but when I am tracing code I often have to drop snippets in like this to know for sure what form I'm on.

I have to ask this. With all the web today at your disposal, why not start there.

That is, why would you start from scratch when there are many sources like Faint and JavaFaces are ready for you to explore and build on?

I'm not an Access VBA expert but what if the field at the time was hidden. Maybe you can yield to the CPU with a DoEvents to let the form update prior to access to the item on the form. There's also a note about use of the ! versus the dot in the docs about Access. I'd try it with the dot for a test run.

2 thoughts here. I've lost count of apps that rely on timezones. Lucky me I was exposed early to that trouble with UNIX (yes, UNIX, not Linux) long ago so GMT was always the choice with the TZ adjusted for each user and interface/app.

But where's the code that is tossing up the error? If it's inside some commercial app/helper then you should be at their doorstop to ask for a patch or explainer to work around it. I don't mind looking at code but here I don't see code.

That's going to take a lot more code. You'll have to find the outline of each dice to slice up the pictures into 2 images and then process each one. There's a paper noting a clustering system at http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/8/2/1212/pdf so that's 2 approaches.

Hmm. Cross posting?
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/248036-how-to-identify-black-dots-on-dice-via-image-processing-matlab

It seems to be a question asked a lot (I googled it) with some ideas like http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/131033-identifying-number-on-dice

I think you should share your code and approach so folk can comment.

How does this differ from https://www.daniweb.com/programming/databases/threads/493151/database-scenario-normalization-er-diagram
Is this some copy/paste from some assignment?

This sounds like the old Yoda problem where you do or not do.

For me it's just a matter of getting the sensor counting on something like an Arduino then a link to my app to query the current count.
https://www.google.com/#q=arduino+sensors finds many. Some may be overwhelmed at the choices we have today.

That's the example command and not the one you would really use. The <filename.asm> is not literal. You replace that with your text file.asm you want to assemble. Same goes for the -o output name.

Find a helloworld.asm to start with. Like with https://www.google.com/#q=nasm+hello+world+linux+64

This looks too similar to http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/windows/10731/

Try their code as-is then modify it to your needs.

I have it on my old Dell i15r with an old first gen i5 460m but 6GB RAM. It doesn't seem too harsh here.

What is slow is the emulator. Even on my i7 4th gen laptop with 16GB RAM I had to switch to Intel's Android speed 'em ups (lots on the web about this) before I was OK with that. The issue I have with the old Eclipse setup is that it was way out of date and just a sluggish.

The easy speedup to emulation is to use an Intel Android emulator rather than the ARM one.

That sounds like the BIOS password. Removal is done in the BIOS but 2 things.
1. No full model number so I can't see if it's documented.
2. Sometimes there is no document so you explore all the BIOS pages.

@alaad
Aha, I think I get your question now. You want your app not to be a setup app but "the entire app" so you have a method you want to run once.

I have apps that on startup do checking to see if it's all good to go like a pre-flight check. Your method would not just blindly set things up but test for what you need configured. In psuedo code.
if this isn't there, create this.
if that isn't set, set that.

Is reusing prior installers an option? I find many with https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+setup+your+java+app+installer

Or is this a roll your own job?

Which compiler and IDE are you using?

"It still not working" is too vague. An error message would be slightly better.

Here's a recent thing I tried. Since 10 is now OK to run on that PC I don't have to do much to install it. I used a 2009 Sony Vaio that we plain as laptop go. The HDD had failed so I slipped in the new blank HDD. On another PC I used Microsoft's media creation tool (all these things are on the web so I won't detail it all) and then set the laptop to boot the USB stick that had 10 on it.

10 clean installed and since all worked except the WiFi on/off switch I went to Sony's site to snag and install the hotkey software.

Now I usually go deeper for more current drivers but it works and I only use it for testing with 10 so I stopped there.

I'd clarify that a little. Are you intending to setup your app, or are you intending to setup their Linux, Apple, Windows and other computers with the JAVA runtime as needed plus your app?

Let me share I've found JAVARA to help me dust off old JAVA, install the new and a bit more. But at no time have I stepped over that line where I am installing runtimes for the end user. Maybe today's users need that?

Folks are divided on this. Here 10 worked better that 7 on my son's old Sony (circa 2009 model.) So that was a nice surprise.

Some still feel lost so there's that. For me I have to support from about XP to 10 and some embedded no OS apps so here I am used to the cheese moving.

OK, that fixed one thing but read http://www.programmingsimplified.com/cpp/source-code/cpp-class-example-program for an example of using a class. Your main didn't make an object to work on.

Also, you could pull your class functions into the class.

Let's see the new code.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php notes it's already in PHP.

Use another function name.

Wait? For what? Since you are not using prototypes, you move the main and it's content to the last line. Pretty simple fix.

I only see a Java tag but little more about this needing code written. I re-read the OP's question and it clearly called solving the question. Maybe they left out a lot of the spec or wanted folk to write the app for them. It would have been clearer if they had shared their attempt at the code and shared where they had trouble.

The problem statement needs work. And in there should be some way to avoid having to start over inputing those 30 sample sets. Again the free spreadsheet wins solving the presented problem.

While this is a programming forum there are some problems that are easily solved with off the shelf apps.

Not only would an app be the wrong solution but the typical app would at first require you to input all the data, not let you edit a mistaken entry and more.

Your question would have the real world solution and answer to use a spreadsheet since Ms. Jane can audit their work and formulas without being a programmer.

That's an easy yes to better encoding. I wonder if you realize that you would enter a never ending arms race if you asked for better. There's always better. You can easily do the rot13() and change the variable names to not reveal what they are for. Why put it in plain sight?

Try putting main() at the end or use prototypes.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3763960/purpose-of-c-c-prototypes for example.

While it's far from bulletproof, why not the old rot13() on the strings to make them not so easy to read plaintext?

Let's cover it for now.
http://www.howtogeek.com/210921/how-to-disable-your-webcam-and-why-you-should/

For Apples you rarely install an antivirus but do need to scan for bad things. http://www.apple.com/shop/question/answers/mac/do-i-need-an-antivirus-program-for-my-macbook-pro/Q7HU22X2K27JTAF7J kicks that around a little but if you are not being proactive about this, eventually something sneaks in.

I take it John is not a programmer. I think John would pull up Excel or if not having that go get Libre Office and make a spreadsheet to create the report. No programming is required here.

Since the input is usually ASCII or text, no conversion is needed. But I wonder if you are wondering how to take "10" and return "ten"?

http://www.cprogramming.com/challenges/integer-to-english-sol.html seems to be pretty short.

http://bytes.com/topic/visual-basic-net/answers/931046-how-get-dynamically-created-label-clicked notes how to add the handler and ID what clicked.

I wonder if you think you write a handler per unique control. When I create say a bunch of buttons I create one handler for that bunch. If I make something else, then another handler. But that's only 2 handlers for 2 control types.

@jwenting. That's more along the lines of what I was hoping to read. I didn't write or speak of this hoping for the best that there was a better story. Then again, Enron, Madoff and who else managed to find folk to sacrifice their integrity.

Will there be a Roseanne Roseannadanna "never mind"? (doubtful)
If it's as you share, VW may have an out and maybe due some damages rather than paying the EPA.

I didn't see anyone bring up how VW and other companies have lost their integrity. We know those that code "bad things" may lack a moral compass but when I've worked in large groups or companies not once was there any question about doing the job in a dishonest way.

Maybe I'm just lucky to have worked with great people in many companies for decades. Mind you I never worked in conditions I've seen in some outsourced sites in Asia and Russia.

I had hope that some story would pop up telling us that the software in question was some test version that a manager decided to use and the programmers were not complicit but the story so far reads like a corporate culture gone bad story.

Read http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/201175/should-i-use-parentheses-in-logical-statements-even-where-not-necessary falls pretty much in-line with how I think and code. Without the parentheses you must know how your language works.

There are purists that can go either way. I want it clear in the code what I wanted to say.

I'd read http://gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=2&topic=open about that append on your open.

In short, you seem to have installed MySQL so that part of the question looks to be yes.

As to memory, Windows tends to use all available RAM, even for a trivial thing. There are tomes about this on the web and how memory is freed when needed. I think I'll not duplicate that here.

About heavier and slow. Just like packing more in your backpack you will move slower as I add more bricks. Nothing new about that. There are however SQL basic gaffes to avoid. Ever read why SELECT * is a bad thing? ( https://www.google.com/#q=why+is+select+*+bad )

I had to redo that so many times over the years.
