    "End Task" freezes my computer...

    Sorry for being away a little while but I managed to check out all suggestions you all made. None could remedy the ennoying situation. And Dana, I had this problem from the beginning of use of Win98se. Perhaps something went wrong during install. But like I said, only when I have to close a...

    "End Task" freezes my computer...

    Thanks Ski, But that "solution" seems to me a little too risky. As MS points out that if it is not a too great inconvenience, its better not to fix it with that patch. Besides the description given there is not exactly what I'm experiencing and I'm not using a USB mouse. Anyway I...

    "End Task" freezes my computer...

    hi there, When I hit "Ctrl Alt Del" to call up the End Task dialog all goes well until the form "Closing" appears and freezes my computer. Has someone an idea how to resolve this. My win98se is otherwise quite stable. greetings Raymond

    Input mask in Excell ?

    To Geoff and Zathras, Remarkable how easily you can come up with a solution. Indeed the 00":"00 works like a charm (I tought I had tried that already), and thanks for the formula to make it able to format as time. I will put it in a hidden colum so it won't disturb the sheet and calc...

    Input mask in Excell ?

    hi Geoff, your "**:**" indeed masks (in the sense of concealing the information, but that's not what I meant. I want to prepare a cell that when I input 1234 shows as 12:34. And Coyote I tried yours too and found out that formatting with 0's and dashes gives a result like 1234(cell...

    Input mask in Excell ?

    thanks Geoff, i will give this a try. My question was in fact a general one about inputmasks but the reason I need it now is for time input. The other difficultie about this, is that I need also to be able to input hours >24 (i.e. 137:45). Another question would be the conversion from decimal...

    Input mask in Excell ?

    hi, I would like to know if one can setup an inputmask in a cell in an Excell spreadsheet. I found nothing about this in the books but before I concluded it couldn't be done, I thought to pose the question here. Something like : (___-_______-__) where you just have to enter the digits. Or...

    how to preserve volatile dates (today(),now())?

    thanks for your input Paul. It surely was helpfull in my research for a solution. As I dived in VBA, I found a wealth of possibillities. AND the ultimate solution as wel... What I do now is the following: The first sheet in the workbook is date named (like Jan 2003). I made then a module...

    how to preserve volatile dates (today(),now())?

    Sorry for leaving you alone with my question for a couple of days. On the road I don't get often the chance to go online. My question related to a single workbook in which I every month use a new sheet to make a report and it has to bear the month and the year in capitals. I have no problem...

    how to preserve volatile dates (today(),now())?

    Hi Geoff, Thanks for replying. No, that's not what I'm looking for because I have to do a validation on the date and with the shortcuts it can't be done (I think). It must be automatic and preservable. I'll keep looking for a solution and if found I'll put it on the tips. regards Raymond

    how to preserve volatile dates (today(),now())?

    greetings to all, As I have been spying on this forum for a little while, I got much help just by reading the threads. So I thought perhaps somebody could have found a solution for my next problem. Making every month a report in Excell I have to date it with month and year, I use the funtion...
