Re: Another Shot at this one

Is this code updating an Access db, or the PowerChurch data files directly? If it's just the Access db, then this looks safe enough. Creating the CSV output at the end could potentially have problems if the last name or first name fields have commas in them. Sometimes users enter "Smith, Jr" in the...

Re: Another Shot at this one

Been a while since I replied. Thanks for the list of data files, helped out tremendously. I developed a quick and dirty WinApp program to update my emails as needed, based on the input being a comma delimited file where the emails were kept: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using Syst...

Re: Point of the Database Manager?!?

Thanks for this! Also - I regularly use the Database Manager tool for several things. I know it is a powerful tool and you need to understand the risks before using it. Please leave the functionality in the software for those of us who use it every now and then. I downloaded a separate copy of our D...

I'm a 15+ year Application Developer with some proficiency in SQL CRUD operations, but I'm scratching my head at why it's in there.... I'd love to do a simple: UPDATE ME SET...

Another Shot at this one

Good evening all,

So - I love the fact that you can download your Powerchurch DB into an Access DB. Love that.

I have a knowledge of SQL and would love to do an UPDATE statement (if possible) ...
