    Type Mismatch When Using "On Dbl Click" To Open Form

    Hi Guys - thanks for the replies... The Row Source in the subform is a query, which gets its data from a table called Author with the two editable fields (the other is an autonumber ID field) called FirstName and LastName - here is the query: SELECT ([Firstname]+" ") & [Lastname] AS Expr1 FROM...

    Type Mismatch When Using "On Dbl Click" To Open Form

    Hi, I'm working on a database to keep a track of songs used at events, for copyright purposes. On the main entry page I have a subform (AuthorSub) which records the writer of the song. If the author is not in the drop down list, it lets you double click on the record (Author) to open a new...

    How do you perform a conditional concatenate in Excel?

    Hello, I have created a fairly basic spreadsheet to keep tabs on all the sheet music I use with my band at church. Often songs and hymns are sorted in books by their first line rather than their actual published title (e.g. the song "God Of Wonders" is sorted by its first line "Lord Of All...

    Opening Embedded PPT in Word 2007

    TheManiac - the idea is that our board members are sent an agenda for their board meeting with all the relevnt files embedded. They do not want to edit the ppt file - they want to print it to take to the meeting, but you can only print a ppt when you are in 'Edit Mode' of PowerPoint. However...

    Opening Embedded PPT in Word 2007

    Hello All, I wonder if anyone can help me with something my manager has asked me to find out. He wants to know if it is possible to set an embedded ppt or pptx within a Word document so that when you double click it, instead of it opening in PowerPoint viewer, it opens in full PowerPoint in...

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    Re-read the post more carefully: It is a work computer at my home. I am allowed to use it when not working.

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    Problem solved... Thanks for all your suggestions guys, but none of them fixed it. It turns out that McAfee Host Intrusion Protection stops WMP11 from reading ID3 tags because they can contain malicious code. The solutions was frighteningly simple (scary also because it makes is very easy to...

    XP laptop boots, logs in.. then nothing

    I had that problem a few years ago - turned out to be Symantec Internet Security causing the problem. Removed it in safe mode, and went over to the full version of ZoneAlarm. Never had the problem again.

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    I'm pretty sure you would have to be an administrator to do a system restore - I mentioned before - this is my work computer so I can't do anything 'instally'. Although I did report that Media Player was playing up (I need it for my work) so it was removed and re-installed with the same...

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    It's just weird that it worked one day and not the next.

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    100% certain. The track names and album art are retrieved when the CD goes in so it must be getting them from somewhere. That's not the issue anyway because even if I type all the CD details in myself they do not transfer over to the ripped files.

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    OK - so rebuilding the library didn't work. The tracks still download the names correctly from CDDB but as soon as I rip them they are added to Unknown Album by Unknown Artist and they have no track no. against them. Very infuriating. Anymore ideas anyone?

    I might try rebuilding the library using this page I found: http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html#medialibrary

    Fraid not - can't install any 'non-corporation approved' software.

    Media Player 11 not putting tags in MP3s

    Hello Everyone, Any ideas on this? I am using Windows Media Player 11 to rip my entire record collection as I find it to be quick and error free. I have done several hundred albums with about few hundred to go. Here is how I was doing things until the error: Putting the CD in and WMP gets...
