    Excel: Using Images in Comments

    Hi all, I have a need to use comments to produce effectively a pop-up image. I found the following instructions after some playing around and frustration: 1. Select a cell, right click, select Insert a Comment. 2. Hover your cursor over the cell border until it turns into a...

    PHP autocomplete in text box?

    I currently have a MySQL database full of hockey cards. I'm creating searchability for player names, and I want to be able to begin typing in a player name and have possible matches (of the player name only) appear as I type. From there I will pass along the value and search the appropriate...

    Basic question re: applet in Firefox vs IE and "basic user" on XP

    I have an oddball situation--my company has a certain web product with a java applet. A customer of ours wants to install the JRE (our applet dictates version 1.4.7, I believe) on an XP machine, but leave end-users at the Basic User level, meaning they do not want to give users Power User--much...

    Is 600mhz worth an upgrade for a CPU?

    I kind of doubt it--I've got an older computer. I'm about to buy a new stick of ram (I had a 512 go bad) and in looking at chips, I saw that I can get a new CPU for $75. I currently have 1.8 ghz, and I ran Sophia yesterday. The fastest my mobo will accept is a 2.4. Would the performance...

    Sorting "numbers" that are not INTs

    Confused? I have a trading card database I'm working through. Each card in the set has a number associated with it, but not all numbers are, well, digits. Some set numbers may be alpha characters as well, such as P-JJ. Because of the varying number of characters, I have the field defined as a...

    How to: Pull out values for a field as well as a count() with PHP

    Hi folsk, I'm relatively new to the world of PHP/MySQL. For a simple real-world scenario, I have a pretty simple db created to track some hockey trading cards. For simplicity, I have it set up as follows: set_name (year and set name) player_name number quantity box (this is the box I have...

    Using XSLT for initcaps?

    Maybe a beginner question, but I can't seem to find anything on it after some quick searching. Here's a code snippet (with unnecessary stuff taken out): <recordSet> <record> <so subtag="JN"> <sf1>Journal of clinical oncology</sf1> </so> ... As I'm parsing the xml with xslt...

    Looking for an old new card, AGP question

    Hi folks, I have a 3-year old PC and my video card just went kablooey. It's an older Nvidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64--I'm not sure what the chances are of finding that exact same card (my ideal path), but the current one is I believe a 2x AGP. Are the AGP capabilities a function of the mobo, or can I...

    Writing my own simple xml parsing

    Hi, I've taken a look at some of the typical XML parsers and am looking for an easy way to parse some very specific xml data my company provides with very little overhead. Strings are definitely my weakpoint, so I need to know how to grab the contents between, say <topic> and </topic>. I do...

    External firewire drive only for backups?

    Hi Folks, I'm interested in buying an external firewire harddrive. I'm running out of room on my current internal ones, since I download a lot of video using bittorrent. Are external drives built to withstand constant writing/updating that would be experienced from downloading a gig worth of...

    Using fopen() for site monitoring

    Hi all, I am a rather green php programmer, and I've been given a project at work that I think I'm doing right. We have several portal servers that are on hot-swappable drives. At any time, there would only be 3 drives available out of the 9 or so portals we have. I have been tasked with...

    Is XMLHTP the best solution for site monitoring?

    First off, coming from a PHP background, I'm an absolute beginner to ASP and vbscript. My company needs a very simple monitoring tool built for some internal sites. They are not allowing me to install PHP, so I have to deal with what I already have available. Basically, we have 10 hot-swappable...

    htaccess hiding folders in folder view?

    At home I'm running Apache 2.0.40 on an XP Home box. I rarely open it up to the outside world, and really only do so when I need to work on something at work. The root folder has no index, only the folders with current projects. I recently password protected my MyPHPAdmin stuff. Now in folder...

    Outlook 2K: ways to remove Journal, Tasks, etc?

    Hi all, I love Outlook 2K over OE mainly because the calendar and notes, plus I've grown accustomed to using it at work. On my home computer, however (XP), I'm curious to know if there is a way to remove the Journal, Tasks, Drafts, and Forms? Not necessarily uninstall those (if that's even...

    Importing from Excel2000 into Access2000 loses all formatting

    Hi all, I am running into a problem when importing an Excel 2000 worksheet into an Access 2000 db. To make a long story short, we had to extract ~1400 entries from a Lotus notes db. The only way for us to get to it was to export it into a delimited format. From there, we opened the delimited...

    &quot;Cleaning up&quot; the httpd.conf file

    Hi, I am unfortunately a sort of neat freak when it comes to my httpd.conf file (what an intro, huh?). I use it for barebones personal uses, so it's a relatively simple configuration. Is it possible to move sections that I won't need to tinker with (for example, the modules) towards the end...

    Problem with custom 404 page not showing

    Hi, I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong here--it's probably something simple that I'm just overlooking. I'm trying to create a custom 404 page. I'm running 2.0.43 in a Win2K machine. Here's what I have in my config file: -- Alias /error/...

    Script to edit a Registry for NT4?

    Hi All, I have no idea what in the world happened, but there are a ton of &quot;bad&quot; references in my registry that point to items in the Recycle Bin (I think). The majority of them are DefaultIcons paths in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, so it's not really hurting anything as far as I can tell. Every...

    3rd party software can't connect to Lotus Notes 5.8--syntax of user?

    This may be an easy question, but I'm not an email administrator unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it!)... My company has some software that will connect to a pop3 or imap account, and download/parse certain emails based on content. The developers developed it with...

    Services--Manual vs. Disabled

    I have XP Home, and I found a decent site explaining what the typical services are and what they really do. I decided to disable a few of mine--for example, I have a standalone machine, so I did not need Upload Manager. To be on the safe side, for ones I was not so sure about, I left those in...
