I'm using a VBA macro in CDR X3 to replace multiple shapes in a document by png images. Almost everything is working, but I can't understand how to determine the order (i.e. from the back to the front) of overlapping shapes, so that I can apply the same order to the images. Since there can be a...

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think so in this case; I did remove quite a few 'unused' programs recently, so something important may have been deleted at the same time. I suspect that the real cause was an automatic update to IE7 on 16 Jan, which contained 2 security fixes. Unfortunately...

Thanks for the note. Quite right, I decided that this forum would be more visible (the other forum has been v. quiet for a long time).

I hope that this is an appropriate forum. If not, perhaps someone would advise me on which forum to post this question!! I have a bespoke application, written for a friend 10 or so years ago, which uses Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft Java and Blaxxun VRML (all long since obsolete, but they...

For those interested in our perception of colour, I suggest reading "Through the Language Glass - Why the World Looks Different in Other Languages" by Guy Deutscher. Brilliant and entertaining.

I hope that this is an appropriate forum. If not, perhaps someone would advise me on which forum to post this question!! I have a bespoke application, written for a friend 10 or so years ago, which uses Internet explorer, Microsoft Java and Blaxxun VRML to create, edit and display 3D models of...

It works fine for me on Win7 + IE9

Thanks for the very thorough help, especially with the worked example. For my immediate purposes (it's really just analysing and reporting business results, no updates involved) I have got the quick (and slightly grubby!) "Dictionary A -> two public arrays -> Dictionary B" method working, but I...

Thanks once more. I've never used Jet, so that's something I can look into. I also wondered about passing the contents of the local dictionary via two public arrays (using the Keys and Items properties of the dictionary), iterating through the arrays to Add them into the local dictionary in the...

Hi and thanks for the quick response. I should have been more explicit: this is a single-user system, with several self-contained programs, so there are no issues with record-locking etc. I'm implementing new functionality and had hoped that a public dictionary would be a way to share relatively...

I have a small application (about 8 Forms) which uses Dictionaries to store small amounts of data e.g. abbreviations of country names (index) and the full name (value) in each of several languages (one Dictionary per language in this example). I have several such Dictionaries which are identical...

Update and request for help: The technique I use to create text from the email body (changing the body to HTML format) no longer works, since the body now contains some Japanese characters in Unicode! Before I start working out how to sort out this new problem, has anyone a suggestion as to how...

Good news: I tried changing the format to HTML before saving, since there's no markup, just plain text. And it works! For Each objItem In Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection If objItem.Class = olMail Then 'Convert body to HTML format, which produces the desired result...

I have come across this information from May 2011 on an official Microsoft technet forum (social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlook/thread/77bfc9b0-adcc-4a89-9512-45ce7235cd6f/?prof=required): "Save As Text" feature adds unwanted linebreaks to the body of the message because the text is...

Thanks. I tried the changed but it hasn't changed the result for me! That suggests to me that the error is in my Outlook setup (Outlook 2007, Win7).

Sorry, here it is (cobbled together from stuff found on the web, of course!). I was wondering whether the body's lines are terminated by something other than CRLF, whether the body object already has the line breaks in it before the saveas takes place (in which case I'm scuppered!). Also I'm new...

I regularly receive emails in Outlook 2007 with text in the mail body. If I copy/paste the body into a text editor, the text file retains the original line lengths (in this case up to 131 characters). However if I use File/"Save as" to a text file, Outlook inserts line breaks at or near char. 72...

Vista system: When using the MS plug-in to Word 2007 to publish a PDF file from a doc which includes formulae created using the formula editor, the resulting file, when opened using Acrobat Reader, shows corrupted formulae with super-sized numerics (i.e. perhaps 100pt). Creating a PDF file using...

Looks great! Neat approach. Many thanks.

I'm about to create a DataGridView which, in addition to an ID column, will have 66 columns, with column headers numbered from 1 to 66, the rows to hold integer values. It would be time-consuming to define each one manually in the form definition, so (how) can I generate these columns...
