    Hi, I have several thousand files with an uppercase file extension that need to be imported by an app that only recognizes lower case extensions. MSDOS provides a switch /L for lower case. Does a similar switch exist in SCO or does anyone have an idea on how to handle the problem? The files...

    W98 File Extensions - Uppercase

    QUERY BY FORM

    Create your options form with a list box. Enter your options values. Add the field to your query as your filter as [forms]![formName]![FieldName]. User selects an option from the list box, clicks search to launch the query, query runs with the list selection as the query filter. Jim

    DSL/ T-1 and what do I need

    Is the mdb on a shared drive? By default, shared drives are set to read only. If the drive is shared, it must be set to read/write to use the mdb with write permission. Jim

    Backing up users Inbox . . . Suggestions?

    Why not use the auto archive in OutLook 2K? Simple to use and does not require user intervention. We archive each user to a server to provide a means of recovery.
