    macro trouble

    You need to set up and import specification, then use it in your macro. Import your file manually with File/Get External data etc. The Wizard will come up to a screen that says "Your data seems to be in a 'Delimited Format'.... At the bottom left is an Advanced button. Clicky. The advanced...

    MSExcel: Convert blank cells to 0?

    Nifty trick, but it doesn't work for me. However, when I click an individual blank cell and do the "Clear contents" thing, then reran the paste special, the cell coverted to 0 without a problem. I guess there's just something funky about these cells. I did a little poking around, found the...

    MSExcel: Convert blank cells to 0?

    I've got a largish spreadsheet that I imported from Access. I'm using the values in the spreadsheet to calculated averages on another worksheet. The problem is that the imported data has a large number of blank cells. I want to convert those cells to 0 when I use them to calculate the...

    Show + in front of positive values?

    Excel newbie, please forgive me if this is obvious. I'm calculating a variance column as (A2-A1). Negative numbers display fine, but i'd like to display positive numbers with + in front of them, in other words like +4.02%.

    Allow edits after opening form readonly?

    I'd like to open a form with docmd.openform ...acreadonly..., then make a single field on the form editable. Is this possible?

    New pc set up - slight twist.

    If performance really isn't an issue, maybe an old laptop is the answer. Pick up a 3-4 year old laptop and run your stuff from there. Silent, small, and you'll have a screen and keyboard right there when you need to troubleshoot or reconfigure.

    Moving Offices, precautions to take with server hard drives?

    I agree, let the pros handle it. Just make a little extra time to make sure you've got a good backup and maybe test to make sure you can do a restore from it. Then you might keep the backup tapes with you so you know where they are.

    computer building help

    Service has its own set of hidden problems and back-end costs, but I definitely agree you've got a better chance of making a business out of that then from budget PC building. If I was going to try to make a living from building computers, I'd try to go high end. Build custom gaming PCs with...

    How to use 2nd SATA2 HD as storage?

    That'll be in "Disk Management", which is under "Computer Management" in Administrative tools. Alternatively, type "Disk Management" into Help and follow the links.

    Upgrade or not to upgrade???

    (For reference, lowest price NewEgg has for a 512 RDRAM is $209.) If you buy the RDRAM, how long do you think you'll use this system before you want to upgrade? If you're pretty happy with it otherwise and you think you'll keep it for a year or so, get the RDRAM. If you expect this system to...

    Building A Computer: No Display

    Do you hear any beeps when the computer powers on? Also check the motherboard, there should be a LED on there to let you know if it's getting power or not.

One of the requested functions is for the program to automagically send an EMail to payroll when HR has recieved all of the paperwork necessary to approve the promotion. I've got the code to compose and send the EMail completed. I...

    The Quest for a C:\ Drive

    Rethinking a little... there might be a setting buried somewhere in your machines BIOS to reset everything to factory defaults. What kind of computer/motherboard do you have?

    The Quest for a C:\ Drive

    If "wiping the drive clean" just entailed reformatting it, you might try deleting the primary partition on your hard drive and recreating, *then* reformatting the next time you do your Windows install. If that works you wouldn't need the bother of a drive utility.

    Can't format SATA drives in new machine, & install XP Pro

    I have my RAID array set as the only boot option. The only time I ever boot from floppy or optical is if there's a problem, and then I'm probably poking around in BIOS already. I'm not sure if removing the other boot options makes the boot time any shorter, but it can't hurt.

    Can't format SATA drives in new machine, & install XP Pro

    I wish I'd come into this thread earlier, I might have saved you a little hair-pulling. I'm glad you got things up and running finally, though. I can collaborate what you finally learned, though... my ASUS mobo doesn't need the F6 drivers loaded unless I'm setting up a RAID configuration. If...

    sudden loss of wired connection to router

    Franklin, after the original outage, the system was never working with the original CPU and a WRT54GS router. Every other configuration was working, just not that one. Actually, it looks to me like a pretty thorough troubleshooting process. Helen, you might try getting the latest version of...
