Re: [OT] sql convert datetime problem; forcing order of AND statements

Without knowing anything about it, I suspect that is rated as a 'feature' and not a fault... similar thing occurs for remote desktop whereby you cant cut/paste the password in (this is bypassed by using mRemote) On 9/11/2012 5:29 AM, noonie wrote: Greetings, We've come across an annoying

Thanks Wallace, I don't think it's a feature as the user would be prevented from pasting in the first place. Here the user is only allowed to paste successfully when they make the correct magic incantation! -- Regards, noonie On 9 November 2012 10:19, Wallace Turner wallacetur...@gmail.com

I haven't downloaded Windows 8 yet and can't check this on IE 10. If anyone has IE 10 and can check if it also has this problem I might be able to file a bug report on the IE 10 feedback site and include the information that it applies to IE 8 9 too. I suspect that this is actually a Windows 7
