    Beginner's Fulltext Search Question

    OK, I see what you mean. Luckily for me, with the disparate data in this table, I don't think that's going to affect me and in fact, that's probably exactly the kind of behaviour I was looking for - I hope! And I'll slap myself for not looking in the obvious place for the info.

    Beginner's Fulltext Search Question

    OK, first off, thanks for taking the time to reply. I've obviously midunderstood something here... Either I've described the problem badly or something's going wrong for me. It seems that whenever I add a new record to the database, it won't appear in any search results unless I manually...

    Beginner's Fulltext Search Question

    I'm a real beginner with mysql/php but I've managed to put together a basic (1 table)mysql database and a web based search form which returns the relevant information. I've used a fulltext index (which includes most of the fields in the table) and this is what is now causing me some problems...

    VBA moving cell contents

    I've come up with the answer, it's actually really simple but for some reason my brain was refusing to see the easy answer! In case it helps anybody, this is how it's done: I used a variable called length length = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("A:A")) so that gives you the number...

    Outlook 2007

    I think that it's normal for Outlook to show classic menus - there is no ribbon. As for the rss feeds, it works like this I think: you delete your subscriptions by going to: "Tools|Account Settings" and then the "rss feeds" tab. The folders will remain so that you don't lose any existing...

    VBA moving cell contents

    Hi all, I'm working on a sheet in excel and I've come up against a problem I can't seem to solve, any help would be gratefully received... Essentially, the sheet is 2 columns and what I want to do is move data from one column to another based on the value of the cell. I think I'm ok with...

    4D Database conversion

    Might be a bit of a longshot this... I have a 4D database file, and I have no idea how to manipulate it. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert the database to either access or mysql? Excuse my newbieness here, my only experience of databases is relativelt simple access and mysql...

    excel disappearing toolbars

    Can anyone shed any light on this? When I add the circular reference icons to my toolbar, (View|Toolbar|customise|circular reference) they appear as required. BUT, as soon as I touch anything in the sheet, they disappear. I'm confused.

    excel cell contents

    Thanks for all the help guys, Brad's function was exactly what I needed and Tony's thoughts may well prove useful at another time. Thanks again.

    excel cell contents

    sadly not! I'm looking for a function that will return for example, "true" if the cell conatins a formula "false" if it is an input value

    excel cell contents

    Does anyone know how to tell whether a cell is an inputted value or a formula? The spreadsheet I'm looking at predicts future values which should be replaced with final values by the user once the data is available. I want to be able to check whether the final values have been input. I'm not...

    woo flipping hoo. Thanks Geoff, that is SO useful

    Excel & GB Postcodes

    you can do this using the text functions (left and length) in combination with a couple of IF statements. If you are unfamiliar with functions, write back and I'll be more explicit!

    Excel - Repeat rows at bottom of page??

    Could you maybe explain a bit more fully what you mean here - maybe it's just me but this doesn't seem clear...

    Calculated Filename linking

    I think you may need to explain this again - personally I'm definitely struggling to understand what you are trying to do. And what do you mean by cohort?

    Can a hard drive failure ruin a motherboard or vice versa?

    What make is the drive? It'd probably be a good idea to visit the manufacturer's website and download a diagnostic utility to see what that tells you. I'm struggling to see how a motherboard failure would result in these drive problems. Or vice versa. But I'd echo Micker's thoughts on backing...

    No Boot Disk

    Have you looked in the BIOS to make sure the hard drive is being detected? That's where I'd start... Report back here what you can see in the BIOS.

    serial ATA and IDE together...

    Sadly, knoppix can't write ntfs. Yet. I'd never heard of BartPE but it looks like a very, very interesting thing! I was away this weekend so I haven't had a chance to see what it can do but even if it doesn't dig me out of this particular hole, I'm very glad to know of it's existence. Cheers...
