Thanks. I looked in the start menu, but it didnt show. Admins must have that disabled. I checked and found the executable though, so if needed, I could run that. I will read up ab it more on that before attempting anything. Thanks.

I had a question regarding Outlook 2003 (run on Windows XP pro). I have Outlook configured quite a bit in relation to the toolbars, layout, etc. I wanted to back these settings up (have a bad feeling about the life remaining for my laptop). I'm assuming these are saved in a file somewhere...

Hi stduc. No, I havent been able to find a common occurance between the incidents aside from me typing fast. But Im not that great a typist and burnign up the keyboard. Its not using USB or wireless. I dont believe its a hardware issue. Its really odd and I have never heard of this happening...

I have been having a problem for the past year or so with my keyboard. It happens about once a week. I will be typing, and all the sudden, it will not work. The mouse works, but the keyboard will not. The only keys that work when this happens are the 'control' 'alt' 'delete. None of the other...

Hi PHV, I was exporting by right clicking on the query and selecting export (and I also setup the process as a macro). I then used a export specification to export it into the required positions within a fixed length file. I have been working with this and I just got it to work. I recreated...

Hello again, I have tried this from a different angle. My new question seems to be a problem with the export spec. It seems like the export spec I have is expecting a numeric value, but there is no where to set this in the export specs, so Im not sure why this is happening. I have explained...

Thanks Max. I kind of figured this, just was wondering if there was an easy way to do it. I have been away from Access for quite a while and am trying to become familiar with this again. I ended up using a combo box to pull up the unique id. Works great. Thanks for the note. T

I created a form using the wizard. The form is to let me update a record on the table. It seems to be working great, I just have one question. Instead of scrolling through using the record numbers in the navigation at the bottom, is it possible to have that navigation use a unique id that I...

Hi PHV. Thanks for the response. I tried the query, but the result was the same. It looks ok when looking at it in access, but when exported to a text file, it still has the same problem.

Hello, I wrote a query that I have a macro setup to run and export the results to a text file. When I run the query, the results are correct when shown in the results (select query) view in Access, but when I extract it to a text file, it doesnt extract it as needed. The problem is related to...

Thanks. I'll take a look at that and see if it helps.

Wasnt sure where to post this, so I thought I would start here... It appears Windows XP has a maximum length of 1020 at which it will display a text file. For example, if you have a 2000 byte file, 1020 bytes will be displayed on row 1, and the remaining 980 will wrap over to row 2. I remember...

Dcompto, Thanks for the tip. I tried this one too and it didnt work. I also tried switching resolution (I had it set at 800x600) to see if that had some negative effect that would cause this, but that didnt help either. Thanks for the try. - Tim

Thanks. I tried that, and it worked, but there are two selections which show up on the pre-defined toolbars that I cant select for my custom toolbar. 1) 'Insert Tables' selection on the standard toolbar which drops down the grid to drag across so you can select the number of columns and rows...

Yes, I tried that, but no luck. It is grayed out and unable to be selected.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I didnt see anything. The only arrows provide the option of 'Add or Remove Buttons' (which expands into the various toolbars or customize). - Tim

I'm having problems with the 'standard', 'email' and 'tables and borders' toolbars in Outlook 2003 when composing an email. Instead of all showing up on a single line under the 'Subject' line... they are broken up among two lines. There is plenty of room to spare after fitting them on a single...

In Outlook 2003, I have the 'Standard' , 'Email' and 'Tables and Borders' toolbars displayed below the 'subject' line when composing an email. Only a few options from each are selected, so I have them displayed all on the same line... with plenty of extra space afterwards. The problem is...

Yes, that has been my workaround. I was trying to find something that I could manage all from the toolbar without having to go to the drop down toolbar (one click versus two clicks). Not sure if that means Im lazy or what... Thanks! Tim

Sawedoff, Thanks. That looks like that will work. I think I will write a macro to close down the Nav Pane, and that should take care of all my needs. Regarding my question 2, I feel stupid, but I figured out the problem. The zoom was down to 75%. ... are you by chance an Aggie (noticed the...
