I have a pivot table with 2 date fields in it (as rows). I want to add a calculated field that simply tells me the difference (in days) between those 2 dates. No matter what formula I use to calculate the date difference, the field always returns zero for all rows. I must be misunderstanding...

I have recently upgraded my clients from McAfee 4.5 to 7. The only way I could find to get AutoUpdate to run correctly on each client was to download the whole of 'ftp.nai.com/commonupdater' to a central server and point the clients to it on their repository list. This worked fine (although it's...

I have a very old database application, originally installed on a windows 3.11 machine, using the Paradox 7 runtime files. The app was initially installed in around 1995 , long before I was involved. I have no installation disks for the application and the company who wrote it no longer exist...

What I need to do is get a list of print drivers that my machine is using. By this I mean that I need exact details of the driver version and manufacturer. I know I can get this by printing a test page to each printer but is there a quicker way ? By the way all my printers are connected by...

I've noticed some behaviour from an NT workstation on my NT domain lan that I can't explain. The user has a habit of leaving the computer on at night and when he does I get a series of domain logons appearing in the event log of the domain controller. The logons are from his workstation, using...

I am fairly new to DB work but I have been tasked with converting an old paradox application to MS Access 97. 2 problems: 1. I have successfully imported two thirds of the old tables but the other third gives a 'Index or primary key cannot contain a null value' error. Can I get round this ? 2...

I have installed Office 97 on a couple of Windows XP machines. The problem I'm having is that Outlook 97 view settings are lost when Outlook closes. What I mean is that I arrange the panes to suit me, ie. Outlook bar and folder list to the side, then when I shut outlook down and re-open I have...

I tried upgrading Mandrake 9.0 to 9.1 using the upgrade option in the installer. It seemed to go very smoothly except for one hiccup at the beginning of the upgrade where I was told by the installer that zlib.**.**.rpm (can't remember exact package) couldn't be upgraded and they recommended it...

I have around 40 servers (Win2k SP3) and have loaded CIM 6.0 and 6.1 management agents on them. Most are visible and working fine within CIM 5.2 management console but 7 of them are inaccessible.

I have a single Windows 2000 active directory domain with 7 DC's. When I try to log on to any of the servers in the domain (at the server console) I often get an 'account disabled' error. After a while I try again and it works fine. I am the sysadmin and when I look at my user account the...

When I try to join an NT4 domain from my XP pro laptop, i get an error teling me that the domain controller for the domain could not be found. Digging deeper I found that this was because the DNS server actively refused my connection and so wouldn't supply the record for the domain controller...

Has anyone out there had a problem when printing from Windows XP to a HP Designjet 600 plotter ? The printer is attached to a jetdirect box and shared from a windows 2000 server. The client (running XP) can print to the printer fine but the print quality is slightly less defined than it used to...

I have a problem with MS office 97. I installed it on a users PC running windows XP. I installed as the user (whom I made a member of the local administrators group) from a CD.

I installed Mandrake 8.2 on a desktop machine with a cheap nasty network card in it. In the cards documentation it states that it is Linux friendly from Kernel 2.4 on. The card is not recognised at install and asks for more parameters. I can locate the required object file on the system OK and...
