    conditional formating??

    The value in the second part should have read: =$B$2=&quot;This&quot;. That way you can use the copy and then the paste special functions to copy the formatting to all the other cells in row 2 that you need.

    IE5/6 Cannot download EXE files

    I had to reformat my hard drive and restore the original configuration because of bad sectors. Afterwards I downloaded and installed IE6 again and it works perfect now. Don't know whether Microsoft fixed a bug or the websites offering the downloads changed something on their end.

    Automatically calculate a field in a table

    IE5/6 Cannot download EXE files

    Reghakr, I did everything you suggested and still the problem exists. It seems funny though that I can still download from MicroSofts site. Does the security setting in IE have anything to do with whether you can download certain types of files or not. I tried adding the ZDNet site to the...

    IE5/6 Cannot download EXE files

    reghakr, I'm having the same problem as Belfield. I checked the registry and found the following under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe] Default = &quot;exefile&quot; Content Type = &quot;application/x-msdownload&quot; I don't quite understand what you mean by the &quot;@&quot; symbol. Can you explain?
