    Password protected excel file wont zip much

    Thanks marc, I'd sooner find out why this particular file is not zipping than when others do than have to keep turning the anti-virus on and off. I'll try recreating it from scratch it see if that helps

    Personalised menus not Personalising !

    I have just bought a Sony Vaio laptop with XP Pro. The 'Use Personalised Menus' option is switched on but nothing is 'peronsonalising' i.e. all the programs and all my favorites show the whole time.

    Writing Code in Access97 & Windows XP

    Boxhead, Thanks - that worked a treat ! I tried using 95 then 98 compatibility but both gave errors regarding my custom toolbars - it seemed to think they were macro names so couldnt find them when loading the forms. However the Windows 2000 compatibility seems to work fine (so far...) Thanks...

    Redirect mail to external e-mail address

    Great ! That worked a treat. I created a custom recipient with the internet mail address set as the e-mail address I want to redirect to then set this as the alternative recipient on the original recipient's details. Hey presto. Thanks a lot. Nick
