Morning, everyone. Was wondering if anyone knows how to do the following, please? Can either a Word, text or Excel file be embedded into a .pdf document? I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, and was successful, initially. However I need the embedded files to be...

Hi Thanks Skip. Help much appreciated. Kind regards Magnetar [atom]

Hi there again. Sorry, SkipVought just to respond to your message. Yes, I DO want to embed both a text file and a spreadsheet file, into my pdf document. I need my reader to be able to click on the object within the pdf doc, and have a spreadsheet open automatically. Hope this is...

Hi Guys! Many thanks for your responses. ajh1, good points raised. However our processes are such that the file needs to be embedded within the pdf document (in exactly the same way you would embed an Excel file within a Word document. If the Word doc is emailed to a colleague, say then...

Afternoon everyone! Am not quite sure if this is the correct forum to post this topic, so here goes... I would really be grateful for some advice regarding the above matter (note: am novice to the 'client/server' implementation, so would ask for your patience, pls!): We have a front-end...

Hi once again folks (& thanks Crowley16 for your response). Okay, let me try & explain my requirements a tad simpler (- just seeking some information at this stage, to begin with, as am not a 'data-archiving' expert, so to speak!). What I'm asking/trying to find out is: - What...

To Crowley16 Hi, many thanks for your quick response. The data from each system will not be altered. I really need some advice on the best way to: (a) archive the records & then: (b) view the data/records at a later date (after the removal of MS Access 97 & 2000 software, including all...

Afternoon folks! I need some advice/would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, regarding the following topic, please: We have a lot of old MS Access (97 & 2000) databases, (some of which have sql server 'back-end' tables). The MS Access software is to be superseded by...

Hi Mommom! One (very) quick, easy way to do this (i.e. the 'non-VBA' route), would be to run a macro from your button, which places a report at an attachment within Outlook. Within your macro, - call it mcrSendRpt, say: 1. Select action SendObject 2. At bottom right-hand corner of macro...

Hi Geoff, ThanX for your response. Somehow I'd managed to sort this query out just after my second posting (but I'll take on board what you say for future reference!). What I did was to select 'Insert | Name | Define...', then delete the 'StaffInitial' range. I then set up the range name...

Hi xlbo! Many thanX for your quick response. Just to give an example of what I did: I entered data across 3 cells, G3, G4 and G5 ('AB', 'BC', and 'CD', respectively), within WorkSheet1. I selected all 3 cells, and within WorkSheet1, and within the Name Box (top left-hand of sheet), I typed...

Morning everyone. Have got a small problem, regarding using the 'list' facility within Data | Validation... option. I've set up a 'named' list on another worksheet, very small, with about three cells of data, and have given this a name, (e.g. 'StaffInitials'). I have then tried to set up a...
