    Clever use of vowels

    It's not often that a writer manages to create something totally new & different, but I believe this man may have succeeded http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7697000/7697762.stm. I'm quite tempted to get a copy. "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

    No destination option available

    Hi, I'm using Crystal Enterprise 10.0. This was installed by someone who has now left and had been abandoned as no-one could get it to work properly. My problem is that there is no destination option when scheduling reports. I've had a look around the management console & tried searching for...

    I'm fine thanks. How are you?

    I seem to be getting this more & more in response to a simple "Hi". It tends to throw me, as it kind of makes my next line of "How are you?" somewhat redundant! Is this becoming generally common, or is it just me that the world's stopped listening to? "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

    Am I being over pedantic?

    When in town yesterday I noticed a new cafe has opened up. Looks nice enough from a quick glance, but it's called "Gallary Cafe" - I can't go in there! I just can't! "Your rock is eroding wrong." -Dogbert

    Re-writing the dictionary

    Firstly, apologies if this has been posted before, I'm trying to cut down on the number of forums distracting me from work! Here's your opportunity to have an input into what is arguably the definitive English dictionary. They're after word origins, not just first English usage, so not...

    Rich textbox in Access 2003

    Has anyone used the rich textbox control (Microsoft Rich Textbox Control 6.0 (sp4), RICHTX32.OCX) in Access 2003? I was having problems with it when trying to open a database written in 2000. I ended up trying to put a rich text box into a new database & received the error "Microsoft Office...

    Recovering Outlook Express .dbx files

    I've accidently deleted a folder in Outlook Express. I've found the .dbx file (which is still in its original location), but how do I get it back? I've tried to import, but get a message the folder is either empty or in use and tried copying the .dbx to a new location (ie where it definitely...

    Missing text import specs in Excel

    I have an Excel template into which I import a fixed width text file. I saved an import spec for this, but when I now go back to use it there is no option to select it. (It's a while since I've used it, but I seem to remember there was an advanced button?) As this is something I only have to...

    Sony VAIO - screen stops working

    Hi, Hardware's not my strong point so I'd be very grateful for any help anyone can give; When I power up my Sony VAIO it starts off normally, gets as far as the Windows screen (the one that's basically a box in the middle of the screen, telling you what version you've got), then it goes...

    Stop Form Closing

    Hi, Is there any code I can put in the unload event (or somewhere else) to keep a form open if the user chooses to from a message box? I want to avoid disabling the close button & putting in my own as the form's in danger of getting a bit overcrowded! Thanks for your help, Sharon

    I've got a message box as follows: MsgBox("Instructions", vbYesNoCancel) It's fine if the user selects 'Yes', but if either 'No' or 'Cancel' are selected it returns a value of 3(vbAbort). Am I missing something here? Thanks for your help Sharon

    Using Outlook Contacts from Access

    Hi, hope someone can help me with this one... I want to be able to open an Outlook contact form, linked to names on a client database. I need this to work whether or not the user has Outlook open, so I'm creating it as a new Outlook application. Opening it is fine, but when it's closed, if...

    Returning to original application

    I'm sure this should be a fairly easy one: I open a new outlook contacts form from access (creating a new instance of outlook). I've got no problems if outlook isn't already running, but if it is then when I close the contacts form my outlook window gets the focus. How do I get the focus to...
