    XP Drive Mapping and Visionfs Version 3.00.925

    Dear all I've been trying to map a drive to our SCO Unix server from a Windows XP machine, but failing. I can map drives without a problem on W95/98. I've made sure the password encryption is the same and that the username has the correct permissions, etc. However when I attempt to connect...

    File and Open (with change of folder)

    Hi I've created a User Form which contains bullet points which refer to different folders. The idea is we have different folders which contain precedent files for different departments which users may access. I know how to change the FileOpenDirectory. The problem is I can't get the File...

    Activate or Initialize??

    Hi I've just spent x number of hours trying to figure out how to get the cursor to appear in a text box when a form opens. I'd tried all the various options and resources and I figured that the setfocus command would be required when the form 'initializes' ..... however this isn't the case, it...

    Checking for illegal characters when saving

    Hi I've written a little program which allows users to generate letters using forms, etc. I'm also attempting to standardise the way users save, which works to a degree..... The problem I have is when the users are entering the contact details and description for the letter if they enter any...

    OK this is so strange, I took exactly the same code and placed it on my networked PC rather than the laptop and the code works fine..... therefore there's an issue with the laptop..... bizarre, I've got no idea what though!! T

    File Exists - and the Dir Function

    Hi, thanks for helping on this. I've added your suggestions but it still doesn't want to play ball! I've even cut and paste the code from M$ web site into my code and and the same thing happens http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q175923&GSSNB=1 Should I be declaring...

    File Exists - and the Dir Function

    Thanks for the response, sorry but the code has got the 'end if' in it, I just forgot to type it in on my posting! So the code actually looks like this: =-=-=-==-=-=-= Sub CommandButtonClick() Dim MyFile as String MyFile = Dir("C:\connect.txt") If MyFile...

    File Exists - and the Dir Function

    Hi I've been hitting my head on this one for a few hours ... I want to check whether a file exists, and once that has been established either save a file into location a or b. Below is my code (I'm just using message boxes at the moment to ensure it works correctly, rather than saving)...

    The default address book

    Hi I'm trying to work out how to select a users individual address book rather than the global address book (email client is GroupWise/Outlook). How do you specify which address book is displayed by default? My current code when accessing the address book is: private sub cmdaddbook_click()...

    How do you get document focus in Word 2000?

    Rick, Your a star, thanks for your help and guidance on this, truly appreciated. I think I'll become comfortable with idea number 1, then once that's working and I become more confident, redesign to the efficient option 2. Thanks again. Tolan

    How do you get document focus in Word 2000?

    Thanks for the tip, unfortunately it hasn't resolved my glitch. The trouble with closing document1 is that if the user begins to open a number of documents then the newly created document needs to be the active/in focus document (rather than the last document being closed). The other thing...

    How do you get document focus in Word 2000?

    Hi, I've been tearing my hair out of this and I just can't get it right (bit of a VBA newbie!). I've created a form for a word template which allows the user to type/select an address and then place this data onto the word template. Ok I feel I've done most of the hard work, I can access and...
