    LOST DATA.

    You're lucky to have chosen FAT32- much easier to recover. I recovered data from my HD successfully after loosing MBR, corrupting partition table, etc. It works unless data was OVERWRITTEN http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm

    Changing system drive letter???

    If you have only one partition per HD, than you are right. If you have more than one partition per HD, then I'm right

    Changing system drive letter???

    the problem you have is not with the letter but with the partition number. I had the same issue. When you format your hard drive, partition 1 gets the letter "c", partition 2 gets the letter d, and so forth. by default operation system files go to partition 1. change letters all you...

    NTFS OR FAT32

    FNDH, you are right about My Documents - these are usually the files you want first. My dead drive was FAT, I wanted to swithch to NTFS for a new installation. How can you change file permissions settings in NTFS to simplify recovery, should the need arise?

    NTFS OR FAT32

    Hi all! Thanks for the posts. I have to mention 3 things: 1) chkdsk /r dows not work - Unrecoverable error message. 2) I installed OnTrack Syste Suite 4.0 - this is how my problem started. The series of tests form OnTrack damaged my files. I found out some of .bmp I created have been smudged...

    Unmountable_Boot_Volume in WIN XP Pro

    Yep. That is right. I used GetDataBack and copies some of my files to the second HDD. However, using a new WinXP insatllation on the second HDD, I can only access 10MB of my original HDD.

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    Yet a better thought: If anyone has a problem with video card or any other drivers, PLS list here your hardware spex. I have Radeon VE, and from what I gather, ATI dropped the ball on drivers support for WinXP. Any other known offenders?

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    OK! Learn from my tough luck: Before turning your ACPI PC into Standard PC, make a copy of your folder: C:\windows\system32\config. Then make a bootable disk. If you FCUK UP, like I did, and you PC wouldn't start, use a floppy to boot into DOS, and copy command C:\windows\system32\config from...

    Query with Null Values

    I don't know if this would be relevant to you, but I did a "google" search on a similar subject. I found an article in MSDN library titled "plan for null responses in your parameter queries." I don't have exact web site or an article number but these came up with in top ten...

    OVERFLOW

    Another cause is if you have calculated field where something is divided by somethingElse. Check that your denominators are not equal to zero.

    Thanks, strongm! Does "m" stand for "Mike"? I worked with Mike Strong from MIS a coupple years ago. Does "WLDC" ring any bell? In any event, look forward to your reply. Dmitry

    Pause Execution of VB application

    I saw that link, and looks OK but too long. Here is a shorter bit of code I use. Let me know which one works better for you. Maybe I switch to that other one ;) x44 I feed on feedback Sub Pause() Dim Pause, Start, Finish, TotalTime Pause = 1.5 ' set pause to 1.5 seconds Do Start =...

    Timer + memory

    Thanks for reply Craig. You just hit the root of my problem. MyTable receives updates from a linkedSource. No Forms here, hence no events and nothing to hang on them. Updates come at randon intervals, so I run queries every miute (I wish I could do it every 30 seconds!) "just in...

    Timer + memory

    HI vlitim, I am also trying to get a timer and a query to run itself every few seconds. How did you do it? A piece of code with time delayed firing sequence would be most appreciated. Thanks x44

    Access dominates cpu usage

    I have similar problem. I heard you can make certain processes run "in the background" of the application, but I dunno exact code. This is the best I know: Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' helps VBA to run more efficiently. If you find a better one, let me know...
