I don't have 2003 but I saw this someplace: When you open a Microsoft Word document that you have received as an e-mail attachment, Word 2003 automatically switches to reading layout view. If you don't want to use reading layout view for e-mail attachments, clear the Allow starting in Reading...

Sweet! Works like a charm. You're awesome, Skip. Thanks, Blaine

Hi, In my Excel 2007 bubble chart, I want to label my bubbles using the associated values in a column called Project Name. I know that "out of the box", Excel lets you label using: Series Name or X Value or Y Value or Bubble Size -- but I don't want these. I know I could also "manually" go...

Tell him that the company owns the computer and that you are responsible for ensuring that all used computers are returned. Tell him that he has one week to return the computer and if he does not, you will disable his network access. Tell him you will re-activate him once you get the laptop...

Thanks for the update. Glad it works!

Hi, I don't know about the first issue, but with respect to the second one, given that the time is exactly one hour off, and he's one hour behind, I suspect a Daylight Savings issue -- we do "spring forward" an hour this weekend, right before April 6th. Tools > Options > Calendar Options >...

Are you able to save other types of files (Excel, PowerPoint?) or is it ONLY Word files?

Hi, One thing you can do is save the file to your hard drive and then open it as you normally would. That is, instead of double-clicking to open it, right-click on it and select "Save As" from the menu. Save it wherever you want on your hard drive and then go and open it as you normally would...

Hi Josh, Congratulations on the first job! In my experience, there's no problem with learning on the job, whether that's reading through a manual or whatever. Most programmers have lots of manuals on hand, in fact. I think if you have been tasked to do a certain project or bit of work, as...

Hi, For the sake of completeness, just wanted to report back that things worked out great. I started with Nigel's suggestion, as it seemed easiest. I just clicked on the three dots which took me to the query grid, where I simply clicked on the sort cell, saved the query and voila. Exactly what...

Hi Ligs, One of the basic rules of database design is that each row in a table should have a unique identifier. The purpose of that is to avoid ambiguity. In this case, Access has no way of knowing that you want to select the 3rd John Smith rather than the 5th John Smith. It just knows you want...

If I understand correctly, you have one MAIN slide and five TARGET slides (I'll call them TARGET1, TARGE2, TARGET3, TARGET4, and TARGET5). You have 5 links on MAIN -- one link taking you to TARGET1, another to TARGET2, and so on. The intent is to have the user first presented with MAIN, then...

Hi, Use an Action Button of the "Return" type and it will send the user back to the last slide viewed. To insert this type of button, go to Slide Show > Action Button, then click on the button that when you mouse over it says "Action Button: Return". With that button...

Rolliee, Nigel, Ronald: Thanks very much for your insights and direction. I've printed off your posts and will work through them this weekend. I'm very thankful to have this forum and many kind folks like yourselves as a resource. Regards, Blaine

Hi, I have a dropdown box listing Agents from the Agent table. The user selects one from the list and the rest of the Agent's information automatically populates the form. The dropdown box lists the Agent's last name, first name, and title. So far, so good. Problem is, right now the dropdown...

No problem, Ham. Hope it all works out! Blaine

Hi Ham, I think your best bet is to use a masterdocument and then to insert each of the chapters into the master as individual subdocuments. I am no expert on this, but there's not a bad help section in Word. I think this is a good idea because it will help you adapt quickly when you make a...

Antun, There is an icon on the toolbar that looks like an envelope; it will be depressed right now. Just click it and the unwanted stuff will disappear. Blaine

Sorry if this is totally way off (I don't have Access on my machine at work so can't verify...) but isn't there a property on the textbox itself called "Required" that you can just change to "Yes"? Again, my apologies for taking up your time if this is incorrect.

Hi tj, 1. Select the cells where your inputs go. 2. Select Data > Validation from the menu. 3. Under Settings, select Allow: Time Data: between Start Time: 00:00 End Time: 23:59 4. Click OK. Now, users will only be able to enter times; inputs with...
