    - Problem Displaying Pictures From Access Database Is there a way to remove the yellow database results region notification (i.e. the big ugly yellow messages) from a webpage without messing up the results. The yellow regions make it very difficult to format tables with the data. I'm using FrontPage 2003. Also, is there an easy way to format a database field as currency. Thanks!!! Andy G.

    - ALERT: LaGarde StoreFront Hacked Again? Subject: ALERT STOREFRONT HACKER Reported By: Andy Spliehof 12/4/2003 SEE: LaGarde's newsgroup at news://storefront.support.general or access the newsgroup via http://www.storefront.net. This is not the first report of StoreFront security flaws. I've discovered and reported security flaw that exposed the database myself and I also issued a patch as LaGarde has been known to refuse to officially acknowledge reported security flaws as was my own personal experience. LaGarde did finally get around to repairing the security flaw I discovered circa StoreFront 5.04 or thereabouts but not until they released the next version of their software. LaGarde does not officially notify merchant customers when the company's poor quality code fails yet Bob LaGarde has no problem spamming customers asking them to buy more of his company's software. How do I know this to be true and factual? I am a StoreFront customer and neither I nor any merchant customers I involved with LaGarde's products has ever been notified of the need to update due to security flaws in the code. Only spam. Business Ethics? Bob LaGarde? Hardy Har Har. Are you prepared to possibly lose everything you have worked for and invested because Bob LaGarde would rather spam you than let you know his software has failed and should be updated? I've got a handful of similar first-hand experiences I could and would testify to after two and one half years of hanging in there and hoping Bob LaGarde would clean up his act not to mention the code. First-hand accounts of being victimized myself or being involved first-hand with merchant customers involved with LaGarde's products, the staff and other unscrupulous developers. It got so bad for me and others in fact that Bob LaGarde has banned me and other victims from posting to 'his' now censored newsgroup as he is fond of reminding 'violators' when issuing threats to sue when someone stands up to the lies, deceit and attempts to cheat and rip-off customers. So for now I'll keep it simple...
