bcastner - Your solution worked - well, of course it did: sometimes hitting the delete button and going from scratch really is the most effective way. Thanks. tf1: Excuse me - I don't mean to be rude, but I did say that my Office apps were fine, actually (even though I know this is marcdoyle's...

Check. Those settings were already as you indicated. I reset them (unchecked-then-checked) but it was no good. There's no way my folder customization limit is at 5000 already, and one of the folders this has happened to is one I visit quite frequently (the criterion for discarding...

I've always just used "it." But the plural of "computer mouse" is "computer mouses" - of that I'm sure. (It's so you can distinguish mouses from mice...s.) It could also be a random combination of things you just happen to always be running at the same time. Why didn't/don't you have the...

If it's any consolation, I'm having the exact same problem - but only in some dialogs - most notably my iTunes "Add File" dialog. My Office "Open..." and "Save..." dialogs seem to be fine. I also checked out a couple other forums, and tried some different ways of fixing the problem, but they...

There may very well exist one. Try Microsoft's dowloads page (http://download.microsoft.com/) or Download.com (http://www.download.com/). As for me, I haven't seen anything like this, but that's because I memorized the ASCII codes early on due to studying Spanish... Furthermore, I'd argue that...

What do you mean by a "Home Budget" template? If you want to mold it to your needs, there isn't anything better than making it up yourself. Feel free to head back if you're having trouble with a formula or such - but don't underestimate the Excel help files. Good Luck, Eli Eli Morris-Heft "If...

You can always use the "Symbol" dialog - Insert/Symbol. Else, I don't know of anything past fooling your computer into thinking you have a French keyboard, which is a bad idea unless you actually have a French keyboard or can type on one without heeding what the actual keys say they are...

I would copy your days-elapsed formula to Sheet1!E2:E7 so that the days elapsed come out next to the respective reference. Then, you can use IF, ISERROR, and AVERAGE to output the average wherever you want it: =AVERAGE(IF(ISERROR(Sheet1!E2:E7), "", Sheet1!E2:E7)) This should filter out the...

Never mind that last one - I figured out a way to frame my DoEvents. Because I only need to macro to spit out elapsed time on one sheet (I was having troubles with the sheet called "Radios"), I can add Do While Application.ActiveSheet.Name = "Radios" DoEvents Loop right after...

Thanks for your all your help, Skip. Just one more thing: I've got it set up so the macro gives me 8 seconds of DoEvents time before it restarts (because I've got this DoEvents portion of it and it's supposed to be counting elapsed time, the entire macro is encompassed by a Do...Loop . If I...

That's very close to what I want to do, but the way that the DoEvents and Timer combo seems to be laid out means that whatever process I'm running (e.g. counting up since a certain event) has to pause for DoEvents to let me change cell values. This wouldn't be a problem if all that this...

Is there any way to run macros (specifically Excel macros) in the background? For example, I've got a macro that counts elapsed time and spits it out into a cell, but I want that time to continually update. I also want to be able to change cell values on the sheet while this timer is running...

I've got a spreadsheet (in Excel) that is intended to be used "live" - that is, the data that is currently showing on the sheet is what is happening at that time - there is no record being taken. One of the things I need done for this spreadsheet is to make it so that when a certain cell hits a...
