    Excel 2010 relinking only one cell at a time,rather than alll at once.

    I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet that uses 3 other spreadsheets as data sources which are used in many (a few hundred) VLookup formulas in the main spreadsheet.

    Determining Printed vs Previewed Report in VBA

    In the On_Open Event of a Report, I have code that only applies to a report when it has been launched to be previewed (acViewPreview). However, the code creates an error when a user selects the report to be printed directly (acViewNormal). Outside of passing a variable either globally or...

    I would like to create a customized button with the MS Access 2002/2003 report icon (you know...the green report icon we see to the left of all reports in the Reports section of the Database window).

    Form That Displays Data As a Calendar

    I've just created an extremely useful and relatively simple form that displays like a 35-box (7-days Sun-Sat across by 5 weeks down) wall calendar. You could easily customize it to be a 42-box calendar if desired. In the 35-box calendar, for 30 and 31-day months where the first day of the month...

    Adding an Image w/Transparent Background to a Button

    I would like to have a command button displays both an icon and text on it. For example, a rectangular print button would have a printer icon and the word Print next to it. I can create the bitmap image of the printer and the word "Print" easily enough in MS Paint, but the problem is that I...

    Making Oracle Linked Table Read-Only

    I have an Access 2002 db that has ODBC-linked tables to an Oracle 8i database. When I link tables that have an index on Oracle, the indexes are mimicked in the Access linked tables. This provides the users the ability to add and update rows to Oracle via the linked table. How can I remove (or...

    I have PWS loaded on NT Workstation and I want to be able to develop and test ASP pages as painlessly as possible. I'm obviously doing something wrong. Issue 1: Is it true that the only (or the most common) way to test an ASP page is by typing in the URL in the browser? I know you can also...
