Can't hibernate while Access is open

[jspotspencil]

I'm using Windows XP Professional with Access 2003. I have a program that I
need to run after I leave for the day and want my computer to hibernate after
the program has finished running. When Access is running my computer won't
hibernate. How do I get this to happen?

It depends on how fast is your machine and how big is the db file

Do you just leave Access open running the app, or are you launching Access
from the scheduler? I'd suggest the latter. Put a Macro in your database which
runs the program and then does a Quit action; name the macro (say) RunProgram.

Launch Access from Windows Scheduler with

"C:/Program Files/yadayada/msaccess.exe" "D:/somepath/mydb.mdb" /x RunProgram

to launch Access with the macro; follow it by a command to hibernate (not sure
what that is, see the Scheduler help).

Hi.

How many names does this troll use?

About nine, but with various combinations of E-mail addresses, so he has
quite a few different profiles in Google Groups.

you guys are truly idiots

maybe if you'd stop spreading mis-information and stop speaking partial
truths0-- then maybe you wouldn't have such a hard time blocking the
truthful posts of an ex-microsoft employee

He was never an employee of Microsoft.
He was a contractor *at* Microsoft.

It is, in fact, a big difference.

what the hell are you talking about?

the only people I ever met at Microsoft were a bunch of Excel dorks
I don't think that it's a compliment to work at Microsoft

it just means that you don't know Crystal Reports; and you have no practical
database SKILLZ



I was a contractor at Microsoft FIVE TIMES FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS

Everyone please note that Aaron Kem pf is attempting to impersonate one of
our regular posters again with a message in his own vulgar language. Tom
would never post such a message.

Right. What am I talking about.

Someone said you were an ex-employee of Microsoft.
I pointed out that you were *not* an ex-employee of Microsoft, but
that you were a contractor *at* Microsoft, which are two very
different things.

Someone made a mistake,.
I corrected it. I especially thought it would be a worthwhile
correction since the person was complaining about "mis-information"
and people "speaking partial truths", I thought it would be important
that said person actually stopped doing the same thing themselves, so
I gave them information and a whole truth.

Oh, and I see working at Microsoft "FIVE TIMES FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS"
taught you well, like, y'know, politeness. I worked there for 8 years
as a FTE. Figured I'd say that since, well, you wanted to turn it
into a whizzing contest.

eat a dick kid

Uhh. Why? What did I say here that would merit such a response? But
regardless, y'know what? This makes me remember why I banned your
sorry ass from the msnews server. =)

kthxbibi

 

[Susie DBA [MSFT]]

I think that you're a dipshit then

they offered me a FTE position a couple of times; I told them to build
a time machine and then maybe i'll thikn about it

 

[Susie DBA [MSFT]]

yeah right bitch

you banned me from the msnews server?

that's funny

of course, i've got proxy-log records from when i was at Microsoft,
right now-- i'm going to provide Adobe with a list of people that were
using pirated dreamweaver, that's what i'm going to do

 

[jaydeflix]

yeah right bitch

you banned me from the msnews server?

that's funny

Yes, I did. I was the newsgroups administrator, I put your name and
posting addresses in the filters.

I didn't think it was that funny. I hated blocking people, but, some
people just don't play well with others. Like you.

of course, i've got proxy-log records from when i was at Microsoft,

Uhh. Ok? Go right ahead? And after you do that, ask me if I care.
(Hint: I don't.)

 

[Susie DBA [MSFT]]

some people don't play well with others?

You're the cocksucker that is blocking people on a PUBLIC FUCKING
NEWSGROUP

**** you and **** your mother and **** your employer, bitch

Err, yes. You, as evidenced by your complete inability to actually
try to deal with me as an adult, and instead decided to insult my
mother.

You're the cocksucker that is blocking people on a PUBLIC FUCKING
NEWSGROUP

Was. Was the person. And no, I blocked you from a server that is
very *not public*.

**** you and **** your mother and **** your employer, bitch

Wow, big words from a little, little man. Want to say them to my
face? Please do let me know when and where. And, fwiw, Microsoft is
not my employer. Care to guess who is?

 

[aaron.kempf]

yeah I'd love to say them to your face fucknut

so who is your employer, anyways?

 

[jaydeflix]

Employer? No one. Currently happily retired, thank you. Be sure to
send me an evite for when you'd like to explain why I shouldn't have
banned you and so you can hurl whatever invectives you want. I hope
you won't be offended if I laugh at you while you do it.

 

[aaron.kempf]

nobody except spam should be blocked in a public newsgroup

go and play with your communist china barbie; fag
