Found an interesting registry hack (which I haven't tried yet) to avoid grouped icons ungouping when there is more room on the taskbar - "Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE \MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\Advanced subkey. Then, right-click an empty area of the right pane...

An excellent tip, thanks both. We use Citrix on Windows Server 2003, and the option is actually set, but doesn't kick in until the taskbar runs out of space, so I didn't see it working till I squashed the taskbar up a bit. I'll see if there's a way to force it regardless of how much is on the...

Is there any way of changing this? We're moving to Outlook from Notes, and one nice thing about Notes is that everything you open shows as a tab within Notes, making navigation very easy, (a bit like tabs in IE7 or Firefox if you're not familiar with Notes). In Outlook, of you open, say, four...

Is it really an attachment you have? If you can copy and paste but can't Save/Detach, it sounds as if you've got an embedded image, not an attachment. If you can see the picture in the email, that's the case, but if it's an attachment you don't see the actual image, just an icon for the...

Interesting - that's the only time I've heard of math being used in the UK. That's not just talking to people, it's newspapers, textbooks, magazines etc. If you type "math or maths" (with quotes) into Google you get a large number of entries quoting "....math, or maths in Britain,....". But I...

By coincidence, I'm also in the Glasgow area (what an International forum this is!), and have to say that while "haitch" is not unknown, it should still be "aitch", even on this side of the pond. Pronouncing it haitch is regarded as being a bit common, (sorry, killerthoughts!), although it's not...

No offence taken - I didn't mean to sound huffy. The basics are the best place to start, and all too easy to overlook. I've lost count of the number of times I've been called to a laptop that's died, been assured that it was plugged in, and found that the wall switch wasn't on. (And yes, I've...

I unplugged the cable from another PC beside it (which is working OK) and tried that, so the power to the PC is OK. It's been fine for four years, so it's at the right voltage! (but I had checked anyway...). I put a new PSU in anyway, but still no joy. There's no smell from the old PSU, which I...

Could be the switch, but the shutdown pattern on the screen suggested MB or power. It's worth a look, though - could explain the lack of activity in the PSU. Thanks.

Pretty sure they're OK but I'll have a closer look when I'm home. Cheers

My 386 PC had trouble booting the other day, but worked fine once started. When I switched off though, I just got coloured lines on the screen (like a duff video card) and it wouldn't shut down, even holding the "On" switch in. Had to pull the plug to switch it off. It's now completely dead - no...

I'm writing a template with fields that users will fill in. For most kinds of field, just putting text before the field (eg "Enter Name" followed by a text field) is fine, as is using a radio button or checkbox field to give options. If I use a combobox or listbox, though, the preceding text...

asrisk has the simplest and best answer, but if the cells are calculated remember to round the answer (=round). Otherwise you could end up with a minute fraction, eg 0.00000001234, which is too small to be significant but still makes the result technically non-zero. The display will then show...

Sounds as if you are on the "Meetings" view in your calendar. On the left hand side of the screen, below the heading "Calendar" you should see a small calendar with just the dates of the month, like a small tear-off calendar. This is where you change the month you are looking...

Thanks Andy, I didn't think past using the standard messsage box to creating one of my own. And particular thanks to xlhelp and combo for taking the time to give such detailed examples. Problem solved - cheers all!

I'm writing something in Excel 97 VBA which needs a response from a messagebox within a certain time. An item is shown and the user has to click "Yes" or "No" within five seconds. After they click Yes or No it records their response and the time taken and moves on to the next...

One more possibility - we had a few users who suddenly found that the times of their appointments had changed, usually by an hour, sometimes significantly more. This happened around the time the clocks changed, and although this was sometimes due to local time zone settings in Windows, which...
