    Excel 2003: How to view data link to other sources not available

    Hi all, Here is my problem: I have received an excel sheet that contains links to other sources (other excel sheets - which are lost). When I open the file in excel, I get a pop-up that asks me whether I want to update the links to other sources or not. At this stage (before clicking to answer...

    Powering audio equipment.

    Hi, UPS's can't provide peaks of power usually generated by an electrical motor starting. So, it is a very bad idea to try to connect a vacuum cleaner on a UPS for example, such a motor taking about 1500W (starting peak can exceed 3000W). Regarding an answering machine, these are very small...

    Alternative UPS power source (batteries)

    You car battery will take longer to recharge than the smaller battery that is in your UPS. Thus, some components might heat up and indeed take fire. I've seen that once: people who have put two car batteries in parralel on an old 650 VA UPS. The UPS took fire after a few months of operation...

    Which Database to Use?

    Access can be installed only in the runtime version if you purchase the VisualStudio tools from MS. The footprint is much smaller and the enduser usually does not need to have the entire access or office for running your DB. I however recommend another SQL engine that the JET, MySQL runs under...

    Sending Reports to PDF

    You can maybe look into a macro in your word document that will print on a PDF virtual printer. I use a PDF writer to print my access reports on PDF directly, maybe another option for your code ? Hope it helps !

    Which Database to Use?

    Reading the thread, one questions arises: What front-end do you use ? I am using MS Access as a front end, which I find very powerful and MySQL as a back-end as I agree with skiflyer. Thanks, @lex

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    Hi, I've found some part of solution here: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?SQID=784759&SPID=219&page=1 It is in Perl and prints annoying headers which I don't need, but it works. I think there is some tuning needed for removing the headers, but I am not good at all in Perl.

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    tviman, I differentiate the users in the url I call to get the stats: http://myserver.com/stats/MyClient1SiteName.com would be the stats for MyClient1. I've tried this based on your conceptual - but useful - thoughts: <?php header ("Location: http://myserver.com/stats/MyClient1SiteName.com")...

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    Why can't they provide separate logins for the stats ??? Right, the headache started with this question I've asked myself.... Anyway, this is how it is, so I need to deal with it. Wullie: yes my password is quite sensitive, I'd like not to disclose it. We are talking about 20 clients for the...

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    Hi all, Yes, you figured it our correctly: I resell hosting and only my master login can access the stats of my clients. I've done some tests, and apparenlty I need to create a kind of proxy server that will pull the urchin from the site and display it where I want it to be displayed...

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    tviman, Thanks for that and sorry for not being clear since the beginning, a good lesson for me. My case is quite tricky because my remote server uses a login on urchin to get the stats, so I can't ftp, I must display what the server displays. I'm working on a PHP script around that, I'll...

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    Hi Wullie, Thanks for your comments. Shared hosting, I'm showing single users. Indeed, someone with access *could* tweak the URL and see someone else's stats if he knows the site name. But if I put it in a frame, it will be already more difficult.

    invisible auto-login to remote website

    Hi tviman, This is totally not the case. I am not trying to violate any agreement I might have or anything like that. I am trying to give access to statistics of visits to my clients who have bought hosting from me. I need to log them on the stat website (the one protected by .htaccess) and...
