  • Help With VBA IIf function?

    I mainly work with Java so I am not really familiar with VBA, I was asked to work with a Access 2007 database that has sales reviews for past years.

    the code selects the year with this code:

    Year = IIf(year1 > year2, year1, year2)

    There are however rare occasions when its neither year1 or year2 and Year will then equal the past year

    I want to find it with the code below:

    Year = Year(Now()) - 1

    what I was wondering is if I ca do this:

    Year = IIf(year1 > year2, year1, year2)

    Elseif (year1 = 0 and year2 = 0)

    Year= Year(Now()) = 1

  • Civilization 5 on Intel HD graphics card?

    ok guys settle this argument for me,

    I have a friend that said that my laptop can run Civ5 because while it does not have a dedicated graphics card it should still be able to run Civ5 ok because it has a core i5 processor and 6 GB of ram which would compensate for the lack of a dedicated GPU.

    I say that while yes it can run (minimum requirements say that you can get away with an Integrated core i3 GPU), the game would run so bad that it would not be worth it to try.

    What do you guys say?

  • AMD Phenom II Triple-Core N850 vs. Intel Core i3 370M?

    I am looking at getting a new laptop and I came across two HP's, they both have similar specs. but there are a few differences.

    One has AMD Phenom II Triple-Core N850 processor and a 640GB 5400 RPM hard drive

    the other has Intel Core i3 370M processor a 500GB 7200RPM hard drive

    I am asking because I am not too familiar with the AMD processor, so I was wondering if it was a better buy.

    All I know is that it did score a little bit better than the i3 on cpubenchmark.net, but it only supports an L2 Cache opposed to the i3 with a L3 Cache

    other than that they are the same laptop at the same price, which one seems better to get

    the laptop will be used for school, I am a software engineering student

  • Is it still worth getting a MiniDV camcorder?

    My boss found an old stock of JVC GR D850 camcorders and said that she would sell them off for a $100 (there is also a no tax event next week). They seem ok to me, but with this camcorder being standard def and using MiniDVs, I was wondering if it would still be a good buy or should I just try to save up for an HD camcorder?

  • Worth Getting An DSLR?

    I was wanting to take up photography as a hobby, mainly landscape and nature photographs.

    I was looking at the Nikon D40, but I was thinking that it may be a bit overkill because half the time it would be used as an SLR the rest of the time it would be used as a point and shoot.

    So would it be worth getting the D40 or should I just get a mega-zoom camera instead?

  • Is There Still Quality Issues With the Xbox 360?

    I was wondering if the new 60G Xbox is now free of the quality issues that the previous generation was known for, is the issues with the old 360's fixed or are there still system failures with the new ones?

    I am asking because the new games that I want are dual console so if there are still problems with the new ones I will just get a PS3
