Rationale for this Project


Summary of Progress during January - March 2026
  1. I spent 138 hours in 26Q1 on this Project, or related work (206 hours YTD, where for "YTD" - Year to Date - I mean the (academic) year that commenced in October 2025). That's 211.7% of the planned effort (143.7% YTD). Overall, 18.1% of my Project effort in the Quarter was directed towards this project (making 13.1% YTD) - as against 7.7% planned (8.7% YTD).
  2. I scheduled a further-reduced 5 hours / week on this project in 26Q1 but spent more than twice the allocated time.
  3. The major reason for this was work on http://www.theotodman.com/MountnessingAndFriends.htm.
  4. I’m still nowhere near catching up on this project, which will need to regain a major focus later in the academic year.
  5. Completed items included:-
    1. Own Website:
      • Bridge
        1. Extracted data from the EBU to correct links to Hutton following the demise of its Bridgewebs site..
      • Infrastructure
        1. Fatal Database Errors: ‘Cannot open any more databases: Run-time error 3048’.
          1. When I then try to compact and repair the database - the first port of call when there's a strange problem - it complains that it is locked by the Administrator. Then the database won’t close and has to be zapped by Task Manager. Only then can I delete the lock file, but this doesn't resolve anything as the problem recurs. I think the 'too many databases' error message is misleading.
          2. This started on Tuesday 27th August 2024 with Bridge_Web_Generator.accdb on Desktop. I stopped running it thereon and it was fine for a day on my Laptop, then the problem recurred.
          3. Looking on-line, this seems to be a known Microsoft bug for which a fix is awaited. It looks like the garbage dispoal routines (after set db = nothing) aren't working. It's not just where you're sloppy and don't do this and rely on the system to do garbage collection: I did changes to 'Small Systems' processing, but it made no difference.
          4. My main 'Thesis' database is working fine - I managed a full Regeneration starting late on 31st August. It may be that the bug was fixed under Windows 11 but not Windows 10. However, I'm not taking the risk of running my Bridge database on my Desktop in case it mucks up my Thesis database. The failure of Compact / Repair of my Bridge database is particularly worrying, but my Thesis databse C/Rs fine on my Laptop (and Desktop). This is a relief, as this database becomes unusable after a few days otherwise as it reaches the 2Gb limit
          5. Currently I'm waiting and seeing. Re-importing all the elements into a new Bridge database made no difference.
          6. As of 29/01/26 the problem seems to have gone away (maybe before ... as part of a Bridge development I removed the restrictions I'd implemented and all ran through OK).
          7. So this item is closed for now!
