Our colleague - May, is now proceeding to have that. Thanks.

Is there an example, from which it calls another page, once one OnClicked event has been fired within the page?

Are there any comparative marketing figures for their popularity?

Is that due to that I'm using SQL server express version (2008)?

We confirmed last time that the migration was postponed to 1.5 patches in your site. Pls update us the status since we need to work on V1.6.

Hi,
Some of these are a bit hard to understand, particularly without a context. Here are a few suggested edits and comments.

Our colleague, May, is now proceeding to have that. Thanks. 'To have that' is correct grammar, but is very likely not conveying your meaning. What do you mean?

Is there an example of where it calls another page once one OnClicked event has been fired within the page?

Are there any comparative marketing figures showing their popularity?

Is that due to the fact that I'm using SQL server express version (2008)?

We confirmed last time that the migration was postponed until (?) the 1.5 patches are implemented at your site. Please update us on the status, since we need to work on V1.6.

Best wishes, Clive

Huamin,

I had advised previously that when you post your questions, you need to include context because your questions are often
tech related and very abstract in nature. People have a hard time trying to figure out what you mean. I did! Can you please be more clear in your future post?

After so many posts, you still insist on posting without context. What can I say? As I said before, anything is possible but the question is Do people understand what you're talking about? Are you the only one who understands? I believe your colleagues can understand you better since they know the nature of your job. So, please spare us the headaches, if you decide to continue posting without context. Don't get me wrong. As I said before, I love to help you if you let me help you!

Huamin,
A few rules to familiarize...

Red - is a color to mean mistakes or errors. So, when asking a question, do not try to use bold-bright colors as this seems to have a shouting effect.

<<< Our colleague - May, is now proceeding to generate the report. Thanks. This is fine.
The rest, is still abstract. I know I am not the only one feeling this way. I think you are using wrong choice of words in your sentences which project the intended meaning in the wrong light.
I detected that you are trying to sound technical and sophisticated by using what I call "words of impression" but they didn;t work.

Do you mean this?
Is that becasue ~~due to that~~ I'm using SQL server express version (2008)? Due to and because are very close in meaning but can make a difference if used in the wrong context.

Are there any comparative marketing figures for their popularity? -what does popularity refer to? Do you mean " are there any marketing data for comparison/ reference?"

We confirmed last time that the migration was postponed to 1.5 patches in your site. Pls update us the status since we need to work on V1.6. This sounds like software related.
But the underlined is perplexing. Iam still scratching my head trying to figure out what it means.

Hi again,

You seem to have ignored some of the corrections I offered you earlier.

For example, you originally wrote Pls update us the status.
I corrected it to Please update us on the status.
But you are continuing to use your original version.

Is there some reason for this?
I'm reluctant to correct the same thing twice.

Best wishes again, Clive

Hi all,

Of course, I'll make the meaning clearer each time when I'm posting something here. But it's regretful that it's hard for me to explain in big amount of details for some technical terms.

Bst Rgds,

HuaMin
