    Combo Dropdown Arrow Size

    Think Frink is on the right track. Make a text box and a lable that has the arrow. On the click of the arrow, hide the textbox and show a previously hidden list box... ... Just a thought. !yamafopa

    Tab behaviour in Word Tables

    I have a document template with a number of tables used for text entry. What I would like is to tab around from one cell to the next, then from the last cell of one table into the first cell of another. Less desired, but also satisfactory would be to move out of the last cell and go nowhere in...

    .mpg problem

    Will try DVDHelp, seems to me I may have been there once in the past... As far as Windows Update, this has already been done with no effect. Odd that older version of WMP works where newer one does not. Do you think it may be because some other program has installed the codec that is...

    .mpg problem

    Boss has this supplier's video he wants to play. Win 2K Win Media Player 9 ( 9.00.00.2980 - just upgraded today). Sure enough the file will not play. I get the message that the format is not valid or the file is corrupt. I know the file is fine cause it plays on my PC - Win XP Win Media Player...

    Column Headers in Excel

    Here's a kind of weird one. My boss noticed on another computer (Office 97) that the Column Headers were numbered rather than labled. Normally the rows are numbered and the columns are lettered. Well on this machine both are numbered. I have never seen this nor can I find a way to change ( not...

    Object Variable

    Thanks for the input. Good suggestion on the DAO ref. I could easily do that and hadn't thought of it. Still curious as to why the use the variable of type Object and why they don't destroy it when that are finished. Perhaps it is as jimb says, crappy coding by the manufacture. Wouldn't be the...

    Object Variable

    Just moving up from Access 97 and trying 2K. I am used to using the FindFirst method of the RecordsetClone object in order to do form navigation with a combo box. I notice that the wizard in 2K writes the following code in order to accomplish this... ' Find the record that matches the...

    Will not boot with second HDD

    Well ... Just reformatting a machine that had ME (ugh). Added a second HDD to system and copied all files that I wanted to keep. Unplugged second drive, formatted original drive, installed Win 2K (with all SPs and patches) plus a whole batch of programs. All this with no weirdness. Get to the...

    Auto Population

    If you already have a table (let's call it 'tblNames') and that table already has a record that looks like... Name Position Phone Bell, Sylvia Sales 111-1111 Why would you want to re-add this information. The idea is to put it in once, uniquely...

    Custom MsgBox button

    No way I know to customize msgbox. You will have to make your own pop up form that looks like msgbox and customize it... HTH Chris

    Dual Monitor Configuration

    Is there some trick to setting up a second monitor on my 2k system. Have an ATI agp card existing. Have added an older ATI 3D Rage II pci. Card and second monitor test fine alone. Driver seems to install fine. ATI offers no driver other than that supplied by Win 2k. Windows site says card is on...
