A HTML language that is compiled by python and outputs C code for a microcontrollers. :wtf:

I'm not sure of which operation would perform quicker but to understand why the voltage is not instant would be to look at electronic circuits and transistors books i think. A value of 0 or 1 in binary is determined when the voltage goes below or above a certain threshold. For example a binary value of 0 might be when the voltage is less than 0.25v and a binary value of 1 could be above 0.75v. Because of this, coupled with the fact that the voltage does not change instantly, there is a slight delay for when the binary value changes. This delay is also taken into consideration for setting clock speeds since you have many transistors chained together (inside a CPU for example), each of which has a slight delay when its binary value (voltage) changes so the clock speed needs to ensure that all transistors have had enough time to change their value before executing the command. Transistors are unable to change value (voltage) instantly due to the physical properties of the material its made of and possibly requiring an infinite amount of energy to perform a change in 0 seconds... will need to check the actual reason as i can't recall it atm. I don't think there will be any difference in performance between those two values listed since it would depend on the clock speed. Note: this is what i can remember from university electronics class..

Hmm, i'm assuming no data is displayed in the report? Run the SQL through the database and check that the query results are as expected. i'm not familiar with CR under VB... Also, this is the lounge and i'm pretty sure you'll need to post this in Q&A or Quick Answers.

Hmm, it sounds like you have a lot on your plate atm and you're probly thinking of too many things. Reorganise your tasks and put a few things on the back burner for the time being. I'm thinking maybe if you could get a part of the software running (fudge it a bit maybe?) you could show the manager and get him off your back too. You might need to come up with a good analogy to tell him so he shuts up for a bit. If you job hunt you'll need motivation too so where you are try and code the things you want to, so you can at least be productive and improve your skills without going nuts. It'll be harder to job hunt (and stay motivated and positive) if your going nuts in your day job.
