    Hello I have a macro that saves Outlook emails to a specified folder on disk. Because Outlook lacks a GetSaveAsFilename method, I'm using Excel's, as follows: c = Excel.Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=txtCompoundFilename, fileFilter:="Outlook Message (*.msg), *.msg"...

    History - but no temp files?

    Extracting the formula from a linked autoshape

    Perfect, combo - just what I was looking for, thank you. It only remains a mystery as to why "DrawingObject" turns up a blank in Help, and is not listed as a property or method of the Shape object! Oh well. Thanks again! ------- The joke cannot be found The funny quote you are looking for...

    Extracting the formula from a linked autoshape

    In Excel, you can assign a formula to an Autoshape, so that it displays the value of a reference. Is it possible to read this formula back using VBA? I tried to use the construction Autoshapes("name").textframe.characters.text, but this returns the result of the formula (i.e. what is displayed...

    Excel Workbook_SheetActivate problem

    Hi loomah, thanks for the reply. As it turns out, I've now fixed the problem. I had a conditional format based on a volatile User-defined Function which was running when the sheet activated. This was obviously confusing Excel. Oh well, another nice idea out the window! Thanks for your...

    HSP Micromodem COM port

    Sorry, forgot to come back and close the loop. Removal/reinsertion of the modem (together with a complete reinstall of windows to fix a shedload of other woes:-)) did the trick.

    Tenders

    I think it depends on whether you are the person tendering, or the person inviting tenders. Either way, where I work, the person tendering tends to be called the "bidder" (or tenderer of course.) From the bidder's point of view, the organisation inviting tenders would be "the customer". From...

    HSP Micromodem COM port

    Hello folks, After suffering a crash, I lost the driver for my HSP 56 Micromodem, and had to reinstall the driver (which I found on the Conexant web site). The driver installed without a problem, and according to the "Modems" utility in Control Panel, it is installed on COM3, and working...

    What does your Handle mean?

    Hello from a keen and regular reader, but only occasional participant... unfortunately my handle is almost as dull as dplank and jebenson's: as = initials; risk = something I was involved in at work when I registered. You can imagine it took me a long time to come up with something so...

    Try running this macro. It will delete all duplicate rows, whether they are next to each other or not (You don't say whether this is a criteria). ASSUMPTIONS: This assumes your data starts on Row 1, is in Columns A and B, and that there is a blank row at the end of the list. Please adjust...

    Remove all Hyperlinks in Word Doc

    Bit late now, but regarding deletion of collection items: The solution I usually use, which avoids the need to declare a variable, is: Do ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks(1).delete loop until activedocument.hyperlinks.count = 0 It works because when you delete the top item in the collection, the...
