Unprotect a column

Hi Brain,
I have extracted a single record to from source file to extracted File.
Then I need to edit the values in this column. Is it possible.
I tried to enable protect = False, but it's not working. I tried with the below code. could you please check this.
Dim db As Database
Dim table As Object
Dim newFieldObject As Object
Dim newFieldName As String
Dim newField As Object
 
Set db = Client.OpenDatabase(dbName)
    Set newField = db.TableManagement
    Set table = db.TableDef

Using IDEA to prove/disprove a theory

I'm wondering if it's possible to use IDEA (v 10.4) to either prove or disprove a theory.  The theory is that training (online and classroom) improves turnover.  I have access to all the tables in the HR database which has the training area.  I pull termination dates and course completion dates but that is not enough to prove causation.  Has anyone done anything along these lines, maybe marketing/sales?

Time overlap

I have over 5000 time entries and I'm trying to check for overlaps on the same dates. I've tried using a date overlap script that I saw on here, but I cannot get it to work for the time. 
 
That data looks like this:

DATE
FIRST TIME IN
FIRST TIME OUT

Extraction from Duplication

I'm working with a ton of medical claims data. I took claim data from 23 different offices and appened everything together. Then I ran the duplicate key using the recipients ID # (each patient's is unique) and the date of service. The result is 1.8 million duplicate claims. Also, each office has it's own unique billing number. From the duplicate results, they want me to take a specific office and find just the duplicates conencted to it. 

Duplication on list

Hello,
I am Alice, I'm new in this forum and on IDEA.
I'm looking for some script/function whitch could : analyse a list with different parameters, and would be able to detect any duplication (perfect duplication on each paramater OR duplication for few parameters) . The result would be : the list with 1 item.
 
EXAMPLE:
my list :
NAME / COUNTRY / AGE
1 - Alice   - France - 30
2 - Paul - Canada - 30
3 - Alice - France - 30
4 - Alice - Spain - 20
RESULT 1 : detect perfect duplication =>

Testing for non-recording of Annual Leave

Hi,
I am testing for the risk of employees not recording Annual Leave appropriately. I have 3 sets of data, ie Employee Leave Taken, Network Access and Building Access listing. I cannot get my head around how I can identify instances on an ordinary working day have not access the network or building. The assumption in this scenario is that if the employee is working, they would have accessed both. Of course, there will be some explained reasons.
 
Have any of you performed such test? I am curious to hear how you performed it in IDEA. Thanks.

Hi Brian,
For my project, I want to show a dialog during the execution of the routine.

Thanks In advance
