Hi 2 questions: 1) We have multi-user DOS application that in order to display reports to screen, calls up an executable called 'list' As long as list.com or list.exe is in the data folder on the server, it will use the local user's program. We trick it by renaming wordpad.exe and it runs, using...

Hi Tks... I can't use the toolbar because I cannot nominate a database (its all driven by a merge function in Visual DataFlex). I tried to test with cut and paste via toolbar method with your suggestion but its no different. Thanks PAUL

Hi Can anyone tell me why this would report a Syntax Error ("!Syntax Error") in Word, Merge Fields? It shows in the master doc before I have run the merge... but the calculation shows correctly in the merged result. { = {MERGEFIELD Value1 } - {MERGEFIELD Value2} } Regs, Paul

Hi guys, I am using Office XP and Mergefields, using arithemtic functions on mergefields from my database. a) I have several formulae similar to this format: {= {MERGEFIELD DATA1} / {MERGEFIELD DATA2} \* MERGEFORMAT} b) If I press ALT-F9 to hide the mergefield contents, I always get " !Syntax...

Skip, Thanks. Unfortunately EXCEL is not an immediate option. Cystal is, but if Word can't do it (and I would like to think it can) we can send srings of data out of the accounting software. Its not actually invoicing we are doing - that was a simple example. Its Contract Management processes...

Hi Application is mail merge using a database table, sending letters to contractors. Within each letter I want to list multiple details which I am calling a nested data list (eg all invoices and amounts) then do some more merge fields for conractor1. Then start contractor2, repeat the exercise...

Hi Using mergefields in Word XP, I want to display DATE (which is today's date) in a mergefield (I know how to do that bit!) then add a number of days (say 21 - I could enter that in an ASK box) and print the result. (The letter is giving someone three weeks to reply, based on the date of my...

Thank you for your pointers to this information. I see I am stuck with it. I tried to use a file date modification program once but it didn't work. If any know of one please advise... thank you

HI I am running XP Pro, and find when I save attached files from email the dates and times are changed to current. This is most unhelpful. Also moving (and I assume copying) folders from one drive to another causes the date/time to be changed to "now" on the folder (thought the file...

Hi Thank you . Yes I can write locally. The document sent by bcastner was great and fixed my problem. I had to the set PERMISSIONS on the Sharing tab. I have overlooked this in favour of the SECURITY tab, because XP says Permissions "are for NETWORK users. Thanks again Paul Perth Western...

Hi I have tried everything to enable write permissions on my XP Pro NTFS . If I map a drive letter on my local machine (stand alone, I am administrator) I can't get it to work. I have shared a folder on my C drive as G. Security is set to enable me full control as admin, creator, and user. I am...

Thank you Molby, Bowers and others. SkipVougt - I don't care about the blank row. The object is to produce a csv file that I can import into an accounting database. Part of conversion to new software. Columns col1 is CD col2 is date col3 is Name (eg JW) col4 is '2517' and so on... 1-1110...

Hi, I reall yappreciate the time taken by you guys. I had expected a soft solution, but find myself struggling to use the solutions given - I don't know how to structure the solutions as I am no programmer. The actual scenario is this (copied from Excel but 11,000 rows long.) I have to convert...

Hi Frustration over many occasions should be relieved in a flash if one of you guys can help me. I am trying to record a macro - and I don't know VB - to copy and paste rows down into blank cells - but the number of cells varies. e.g. A 1 2 3 B 1 2 C 1 2 3 4 D 1 My macro...

Hallo, Programs that I receive as attachments and then save in appropriate folder are saved with current date/time stamp. I want the original date/time stamp preserved, as keeping track of versions is critical. If the sender zips the file first when I unpack it the date/time are preserved, but...

Only time I have encountered this I have been grateful. Outlook updates are loaded as offered from MSoft.... so I am up to date with security offerings. When I have gone to the ISP's webmail server and checked the contents of our saved undeleted email, the content has been undesirable and/or...
