Hi Guys, I was wondering if any of you have come across this problem before? I have been given a Windows Forms application written in C# using Visual Studio to debug and this is occurring every so often. The task bar item displays "MainForm (Not Reponding)" if the application doesn't respond...

Ok, got it working by moving the call to the function a bit further up in my code. Thought it might have something to do with the ActiveDocument not being active but the lines before are doing a word count on the ActiveDocument without any problems. Very strange.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the refined code. MakeItSo, the function is just returning false every time. I will tinker a bit more with it today.

Hi Guys, I have a function that returns a Boolean based on whether a string is found on the first page of my document or not. It is returning False when I know it should be True. Function SearchForSentence(strSentence As String) As Boolean Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage...

Hi Guys, I have added a new menu item to a Word 2003 template. This template calls a bunch of other templates using add-ins. My menu works fine until I hit a shortcut which then loads one of the add-ins and it disappears. I also tried creating the menu item in the add-in templates but this did...

Thanks guys. Actually I don't brag about my code but I do try and share things I discover which is why I marked this post with the little light bulb. Thanks to those of you that actually gave me some helpful advice.

Thanks very much. I eventually just decided to display the report in the same window using the following code: Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim _reportManager As New ReportManager Dim CreatedDateFrom As String =...

PS. I am using Visual Studio 2003.

Hi all, I have been informed that the web service I am using is changing from ASP.NET Web Services to WCF. Can anyone help me with steps I need to take to change my client to be able to use these services? I have tried reading through Microsofts help and it just confused me. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, Hopefully someone can help me with this tricky one. I am currently maintaining some VBA code that formats a word document. One of the things it does is search for the people mentioned on each page and put the name of the last person mentioned on the page in the footer. An example would...

Thanks RiverGuy. I am actually fine with the truncation, just want to report on those records.

Hi Guys, I am migrating a table and it is telling me that three of the fields could be truncated. I would like to report on the records that are truncated and allow them to be migrated. What would be the best way of doing this? Many thanks. PS. I am using SSIS 2005
