    Dan, Worked like a charm. Probably lots of people knew the answer to this one, but you were the first. Thanks! dan

    MS Word displays wrong date

    Hello, In MS Word 2000, when typing the name of the current month, the AutoCorrect feature goes ahead and suggests a complete date (i.e. August 30, 2004). Which is cool except when it gives yesterday's date or even two days ago. My system time and date are current. Where else would Word be...

    Excel - removing year from date values

    ...entire birthdates including the year. So it sorts from oldest people to youngest. How do I extract just the day and month info (or to put it another way, discard the year info) to get my list to sort correctly? I already know how to use the Format command to not *show* the year. Thanks, Dan

    The Evil Undeletable Hearts

    There is no Games category in my Add/Remove Programs under WinXP. Anyone else know how to get rid of MSHearts? dan

    The Evil Undeletable Hearts

    Aah, Games! I have been to Add/Remove Programs looking for Hearts but did not look at games. I'll go home and see if it's there. Thanks, dan

    Can't Group Objects in Powerpoint

    Hi, Thanks for responding. But that method, if I understand you (basically using click and drag to select multiple objects), doesn't change anything. What DOES matter as I experiment further (in a completely different presentation) is that I can select and group drawing objects but not text...

    The Evil Undeletable Hearts

    I have deleted MSHEARTS.EXE from Windows/system32 but it keeps coming back! Any ideas how to put the wooden stake through this evil program once and for all? dan

    Can't Group Objects in Powerpoint

    Any idea why, in a normal PP presentation, I'm selecting several objects, and when I try to Group them (either by right-clicking or from the Draw menu), the Group option would be grayed out? Thanks, Dan

    Outer Join?

    ...before): DONORS GIFTS xxx ---> xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx I right-click on this link and chose Right outer join - [(+)=,=*], and it returned exactly the same records. I tried the left join, same thing. Having changed the link, do I also need to change my selections...

    Outer Join?

    ...part: I need to create a report, showing all Donors belonging to a Caseload, and their Gifts to OUR Accounts only, as well as the Donors who have *Never* given to these Accounts (they may have given to other Accounts). If I use the selection criteria of Report #1, only the Donors who...

    Really sick Database

    Michael, Thanks for this advice. But I must admit that I don't even know what V&V refers to. I don't expect you to totally explain it to me, but can you point me in the right direction as far as on online resource? Dan

    Really sick Database

    ...Argument" appears on top of it in a window. When I click OK, all the data turns again into #Name? We created a new query using the *, calling all fields, all records. Worked fine. Added a simple criterion on a text field, back to the "Invalid Argument" error. I took away...

    Critical: Database Inoperable - Invalid Argument

    Hi Wayne, Well, she can see the tables fine in Table view. The query is corrupted. I had her create a new query, clicking the * to show all fields. Fine. Then she put in one criterion, Yes on a Yes/No field. "Invalid Argument" msg. came up; she clicked on it, and #Name came back...

    Critical: Database Inoperable - Invalid Argument

    One of my users in the field has suddenly had her DB go wacky on her. It happens when she clicks on any button on a form or when trying to open a form from the database window. She can open tables. But when opening a query, she can see the information in the background, gets the "Invalid...

    Auto-refresh Lookup Table?

    Jeremy, Wow, that's pretty cool - I might try that (but then again, given that working on this DB is not even really my job, I may just leave it simple and clunky). Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Dan

    Auto-refresh Lookup Table?

    Bingo! It worked instantly. The gaps in my Access programming training are showing up clearly here. Thanks so much, FancyPrairie! Dan

    Auto-refresh Lookup Table?

    Hey all, My form has a combo box referring to a LU (lookup) table. My (well-trained) users may have occasion to add a record to the LU table, so I created an "add records" button that opens a little tabular form where they can add (but not edit) a record. When they close that form...

    Linking problems - remote users

    Hey, Yes, this is going to save me some trouble. Unfortunately the data on my local drive is old sample data, so I can write the report to give actual good data when I print it, or to give good data when my reps print it. Bummer. Anyway, thanks for jumping in. Have a good weekend all! Dan

    Linking problems - remote users

    I'm writing reports referring to a SQL database. But for my remote users, I have to convert the data source to be a .dbf file. I have done this and changed the location to their local hard drives. There are four linked tables I have to "re-locate," and I have done that. When I...

    Warning: Cascading Errors

    I'm producing a report listing donors alphabetically, with their name and address in the group header, and the Detail listing their contributions by date under their name. I started by creating a simple formula putting their First and Last names together, last name first, so they'd sort...
