    strange problem with Excel

    Thanks for the responses. The fonts are the same (I checked), and all the workbooks work off the same template. I know the issue is on one particular machine; when viewing a workbook on this machine the logos are a particular size. The logos are set with a size of 1.19% in height, but when...

    Thanks but the drivers are exactly the same. The systems are identical down to the make of computer, software, hardware, printers, drivers, etc.

    strange problem with Excel

    This issue is with a simple form we've created within Excel 2002. The form is a basic 5 page spreadsheet, which when viewed and printed on one computer looks ok. But when the same spreadsheet is viewed and printed on another computer, the logos are larger and an extra page is printed. The...

    Outlook Rule to separate mail per account

    In MS Outlook you can make a rule using one of your email accounts as the 'specific words' in the recipients address. Start with a blank rule, and have it work on new messages received. Just create a similar rule for the other email address.

    Finding other computers on the network

    Probably an easy way of doing this but... Go to a domain controller and log on. Go to Admin Tools and open up Active Directory sites and services. You'll be able to see a list of all the servers on the domain.

    W2K Pro to XP Pro Upgrade OK but now a Question !

    Yes its possible. If i recall correctly, during a clean install of Windows XP Pro using an upgrade disk you will be asked to insert a genuine windows disk with a previous version on it.

    One useful little program you could try is wholockme? http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/index.php This shows the program/process that is locking a particular file and gives you the option of killing it.

    VPN servers and clients

    We use a watchguard SOHOtc firewall for our network. This allows VPN connections using a remote access software and once learnt, is easy to set up. The number of remote connections is licenced, but u can set up say 10 users and only pay for 5 connections as it will not allow over your alloted...

    Creating an intranet on a W2K server

    Just a thought but ....are your users using a webcache to access the intranet/internet? If so then you'll have to add the IP address of the IIS server to these (or set it to bypass the proxy server) in the LAN settings of the connections tab of their web browser.

    File is locked for editing

    Within Task Manager you have various tabs, the one you need to check is the Processes tab. This will show any open processes (even though the application tab may show no programs open), and allow you to close them.

    File is locked for editing

    This appears to be an issue with Office as i have had similar experience. Basically your computer is still classing the file as open even though you, or your users, are adamant they closed it. Although the program is closed, a process is still open on that file/document. One wasy to check is...

    Intranet creation on IIS

    I set up our works intranet a year or so ago but i'll try to remember... Your first page will have to be named as 'index.htm', or '.html' (as you probably know) and placed in whichever folder you'll have as your root - this is chosen via the IIS console. Open up IIS and right-click on the...

    Make interactive Word docs like Acrobat Fill-In forms?

    In word you'll have to have the 'Forms' toolbar open. The way to create an interactive form is pretty easy so just play about with these controls and you'll be ok. Remember tho you'll have to lock the document once its set up so that the drop down/checkboxes/etc will function.
