Yep - that's kinda obvious - if the screen ain't touchable, it ain't touchable. When I say "Roll on W10" I'm really saying it'll be nice to be rid of W8. W10 is bound to be a hit - Microsoft don't release 2 bad consecutive major upgrades - when they get it wrong, they make sure to get it right...

Thanks guys ..... I was (wrongly) of the opinion that touchscreen was a given/prerequisite/requirement for W8. Roll on W10 !

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad E145. I hate Windows 8, so when I ordered the product I paid a small amount to degrade to Windows 7. There's a Microsoft product called WINDOWS TOUCH, which should allow me to use my fingers rather than a mouse with O/S Windows 7. However when I try to install Windows...

Thanks for the reply Florian ..... I posted the same question on (dare I mention) www.Programmingforums.ORG and got a SED one-liner that does what I was looking for.

Hi - I've gone a bit rusty so ..... I have a GEDCOM file (used in genealogical circles) containing lines with names in the format 1 NAME Surname /Firstname/ as well as lots of other linetypes. The Firstname on input is enclosed in forward-slashes. I want to use gawk to edit these lines...

Simple question (I think) for VBA expert! I have several queries (similar but different) and want to associate them ALL with the same form. i.e. under different circumstances I want to associate qry1/qry2/qry3 with frm1. What syntax ? Thanks in advance.

Wow ! Thanks a lot. Downloaded it and it looks the biz.

I have an application (Access 2003) which will run on different machines using a variety of monitors with different aspect ratios - some long and slim, others short and wide. Is it possible to specify the length of a form (continuous forms) so that it is say "Screen-length minus 2 cms" ? Or...

Is MS works free and available ? Works wordprocessor aint bad - even if it doesnt have the bells & whisles that Word has. Failing that Wordpad has all the basics. For cloud computing, maybe Zoho.com is better than Google docs (from anecdotal evidence), but I'm not sure if it has the same...

Hi - simple question (I think) I'm publishing a spreadsheet (Excel 2003) on web for the 1st time (there's a 1st time for everything !) Q1 : How do I force Excel to point at cell A1 at startup

Found the answer myself -- http://teamtutorials.com/windows-tutorials/configuring-your-own-kiosk-machine

The code below toggles between kiosk mode and "not kiosk mode" What is required to take the "toggle bit" out ??? i.e. force KIOSK mode until application is exited I have managed to invoke the code at application startup, so it's working OK (user can't move or size the window) but ... ... if...

Ooops - sorry I spoke too soon - events DO cause the unwanted gobbledegook to appear and disappear. Is there a way to leave things as is without toggling ? I tried by getting rid of the Application.Commandbars line, but that didn't work

Thanks so much pwise, it works a treat Just to add for others who might use this ... I had ToggleKioskModeAlike as my main form's OnActivate event, but then the Menu Bar crept back on closing sub-forms I changed this to have ToggleKioskModeAlike as the OnCurrent event of my main form and all...

Hi I have a simple MSAccess application which will be "online all day" - the user shouldn't be able to close/minimize/maximize or MOVE the app. window The code below works for everything except the last-mentioned criterion - i.e. it's still possible to move the darn window around the screen...

Thanks a lot - INGENIOUS - using " as delimiter and substituting in every 2nd string ! Just to add - I got nasty message "The system cannot find the file specified" but this was corrected by putting the program in its own file "-f awkscript.txt" Another tweak was then needed -F\" -v OFS=\"...

This must have been done a million times but I can't seem to find the solution I have a "normal" comma-separated file (.csv) with some text fields in double-quotes. These fields MAY contain a comma, which should be changed to a space. I want to use sed and/or awk (or gawk) to zap the unwanted...
