Hello all I have a weird issue with Excel - when I click on a link to a web address Excel pauses for about 30 seconds before opening the browser. The cell contents: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=NN3+6LF+United+Kingdom I've also tried the '=hyperlink' function with the same result. If I use...

Hiya Just moved to Outlook 2010 from 2003. I regularly schedule appointments and need to invite contact groups of people (which include me). On Outlook 2003, all was well. On Outlook 2010 it adds everyone EXCEPT ME to the appointment. I then have to add myself manually! Any bright ideas on...

Hi all, Is there a way of creating an outlook rule, but only applying it to a specific folder? I want to be able to drag & drop specific messages from my inbox into a sub-folder which will then forward those messages to a distribution list. I can create the correct rule, but it operates on...

Hi all I'm new to sharepoint and trying to find a way of having tasks with sub-tasks. For example, each time our company exhibits we have to do things like book the space, book internet access, book hotels etc etc. I would like to be able to say create a 'New Exhibition' & a whole load of...

Hi all & thanks for looking at the question. I'm trying to create an information portal using Microsoft Sharepoint Office Server 2007. I want to upload lots of documents to a library and then have dedicated pages for each topic that include links to documents, for example a page which has...

I am creating a large number of stored procedures from vb code which are done dynamically because they need to be amended depending on the server names/IPs of the servers in each installation. The stored procedures copy data between a local server and a linked server. When I have an empty...

Hello all. I have a slightly bizarre network set-up at home to allow me to be permanently connected to a vpn router at work, while having a domain at home. My internet IP address is dynamic and traffic comes in via a firewall router on the subnet 192.168.123.x (router .254) The 192.168.123...

Dear All, I'm really puzzled by this one... I've written an installshield package that installs a VB program and MSDE. It works perfectly on my test machine (blank install Windows XP). At the client's offices it fails on two machines but works on a third. On ALL machines it seems to install...

I and several of my colleagues have encountered an irritating bug with VB 6 (sp5). Periodically you load a project & suddenly get a load of 'errors in formwhatever, see the .log file'. VB has lost a reference to either a date picker, or a perhaps a status bar & has changed them all to picture...

I need to copy chunks of information from one SQL server to another. One is on a SQL 2000 server, the other is MSDE 2000 sitting on a local machine. I need to be able to copy whole rows at a time, but not whole tables. At the moment I have a rather messy solution where I create two recordsets...

Hi I'm trying to use an excel spreadsheet (with the first row containing column names and the rest containing data) as a datasource. I have built a connection string that works, but when I try to bring back a recordset based on some SQL I fail because I don't know what the 'table name' is for...

For a variety of reasons because of the way I need to access some data it would make my life much easier to create a new table for each 'job' on a database. The job will stay live for about 3yrs and then summary information will be archived, and the job table destroyed. I anticipate about 50...

I've got a major problem - I develop in VB6 professional on a windows XP machine, with office xp running. I tested an installation of an access 2000 based application from a colleague which gave various errors due to the access runtime files being of an earlier version to XP. Now VB keeps saying...

I really don't know what's going on, but I have a clean installation of win98 & I can't register dll's with regsvr32. By chance I ran another set-up program for a vbproject & then after that regsvr32 suddenly worked again!! Any ideas? I'm trying to distribute an access application & I need to...

I need to ditch an old server running Windows 2000 Small Business Server & transfer all the user accounts and exchange information (calenders / mailboxes / contacts) to the new one - anyone got any bright ideas of an easy way to do this? Notes: I can kill the whole network for about half a day...

Does it matter which way up you mount a hard drive? A colleague thought that a 'circuit board upwards' presentation would shorten the life of the drive, but I thought it would make little difference as platters are read from both sides! Anyone sort out the dispute? Thanks Phil.

I have tried distributing a vb6 project which I've developed on XP under MDAC2.7. I've put MDAC 2.7 on a win98 & a win2000 machine. On the window 2000 it repeatedly tells me to reboot as it is upgrading files, never getting past mscrvt.dll installation point. On the win98 it totally wrecked...

Anyone got any ideas - I believe this should work, but it doesn't - no errors though!! I create a client-side recordset & disconnect it (all within a class-module - The recordset is created client side & passed by reference) I add a few lines to the recordset. I send the recordset (byref)...

Hi all... an odd problem! I have just installed Windows XP on my works computer & I am having problems connecting to SQL 2000 running on our server. If I log out of XP & then back on (logging on to the Domain, that is) then for a while I have a connection to SQL (either through my VB program...

Hi...just upgraded to windows XP Professional. Have loaded on VB6 / SP5 (latest ADO) on fine, but XP won't let me install SQL Enterprise Manager. It keeps saying that a previous program has got pending operations - you must restart before installation. Unfortunately, restarting doesn't help &...
