I have taken the bull by the horns and rebooted the Server, and it fixed the problem! All the best to everyone, Roger

Hi, hopefully someone can help here! We use Tapeware Adminstrator (v 6.3) for backups and have recently run into a problem. The last backup successfully created was of the accounts software data files and immediately this operation was completed another back up job was attempted. This was...

Hi Macropod & Madawc I am sorry for my delay in responding again, something else cropped up and the question of sorting tables had to take second place. Hope you don't think I was disinterested in your replies! In view of your comments Macropod, I have tried again to sort a different table in...

Sorry, but just had a thought. Maybe you are thinking I am trying to sort a table containing different types of data , of whist some columns are Field Cells. This is not the case, all columns are made up of field cells. Say the column I am trying to sort by has the code I quoted in my...

Thanks for the two replies! I take your point Ben about being unable to revert to field codes. Macropod, the problem I have is that the rows will not sort at all, they just sit there looking back at me, and I swear I can hear them laughing at me! Each cell in the table has a field like...

Hi Not sure there is a way to do what I want, but no harm in asking! In Word 2003 SP2, I have a table containing a large number of Field Codes and have just realised that I cannot sort the table in the normal way. Is there any way of sorting data under these circumstances? Thanks, Roger

Hi, Just a brief Update! For the benefit of anyone else who may come later looking for help with Bookmarks etc, I am now able to reveal what it is I have been doing wrong to cause me so much hassle. Even after getting a fair number of bookmarks to work as planned, I still got the 'Error...

Hi macropod, 'Tis Monday morning and all's well with the world - well nearly all! I have stumbled upon a solution for the 'Error! Bookmark not defined' message. When I create a new bookmark and this message appears, if I right-click on the field and click on Update Field then it works!! With...

Hi macropod, The world has gone crazy, and my intentions of returning to the problem of 2 days ago were thwarted till a short time ago. However, I am still battling the creation of extra bookmarks. Please can you tell me if there is an obvious reason why after creating 3 bookmarks I should be...

Hi Lilliabeth Thanks for the quick reply - this seems easy enough and I will explore that alternative, thanks! I am not sure if subsequent alterations to the copied doc are then shown in the 'dependant' document but I shall soon find out by trial and error! Thanks again, Roger

Hi Lilliabeth The location of the selected text is not critical and if taking it out of the Header will solve the problem then I would happily make this change. If you have a moment, can you please explain what you mean by "we use paste link"? Meantime, once the early morning tasks are out of...

Hi Macropod, Thanks for the follow up! I have had a very frustrating day at work, succeeding with 3 Bookmarks, but failing miserably to create a fourth! Every time I think I am repeating what I did with the first 3, but I am confronted with a message saying 'Error! Bookmark not defined.'...

Hi Macropod, Thanks for joining the thread! I am having trouble even creating an INCLUDETEXT bookmark that works so will work on a trial and error basis until I master that and then work thorough the rest of your post! Your post seems like it will be very helpful once I have mastered the...

You are not answering questions. Firstly let me apologise! I am so sorry I did not read the headers of the last few replies and believed I was still getting assistance from just the one contributor. I mistakenly thought rvnguy had changed to signing his messages as Gerry. No offence to...

Hi Gerry, I note your comment about not surrendering - I appreciate it but wanted to give you an opportunity to bale out!! I understand what you are saying in your second post about Word being open, but cannot think of a way to trigger the repair without actually running Word. Before I start...
