I have a Toshiba satellite A105 laptop. It is approximately 4 years old. I started hearing a buzzing sound from neightbohood of either bottom of screen or speakers (speakers are close)... couldn't tell. Screen flickered, then went black. I restarted the laptop and it worked okay for awhile...

The following software identified a large amount of software on my computer that is out-of-date, vulnerable for various reasons, and subject to being exploited by hackers. Secunia Personal Software Inspector: https://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/ Much of the software was easily...

My computer is Windows Vista machine. It was taken over by a fake anti-virus called Vista Security or something like that. All attempts at removal were unsuccessful, so I ran combofix. I actually I ran ComboFix twice and both logs are posted below. The first time I ran ComboFix, at certain...

GENERAL BACKGROUND (not required to define my problem) The fake a/v software (Vista Total Security or many other names) has invaded my computer 3 times, each time coming back a little stronger with more and more tentacles. It not only hijacks your browser, and every program, also commandeers...

I created a vba function called R2_ac in excel 2000. It returns a double. It works fine when called by vba but creates an error the moment I enter it into excel (excel thinks I have an error in my formula as soon as I press enter). Even if I simplify the function to: Function R2_ac(ab As...

When a spreadsheet user invokes an "array" or "matrix" function, he has to highlight the entire output range and press ctrl-shift-enter. VBA must return an array with the exact dimensions matching that output range, otherwise an error occurs. Typically the problem parameters make it obvious...

It's probably not possible, but I'll ask anyway. Let's say I pass an argument of type double byRef to a function. The function knows the address of that variable. Can the function also figure out the name of that variable in the calling environment and return it to me as a string?

This is sort of a followup to thread707-1604231 There is a group of interrelated functions in 101 bas files that I'd like to be able to access from vba periodically. I am willing to insert all 101 files into modules in a spreadsheet project... once. But I don't want to have to do that every...

I am trying to access the vba version of alglib http://www.alglib.net/ When I download and unzip, I see a bunch of bas files. Is there a way to make these files available to excel vba other than cutting/pasting each one into a module?

I know it's a strange request. But if I set a breakpoint (stop) in a vba function, is there a way of tracing back where the function was called from (either a cell or another function)?

I just bought an "e-machines" computer which came pre-loaded with Windows Vista Basic. There was no CD that came with the computer. I tried to figure out how to make a "boot disk" to re-start the computer in the event the operating system on the hard disk is damaged. As far as I can tell...

On tek-tips.com sister site eng-tips.com, someone presented a problem where they end up wanting to use a whole bunch of toggle buttons with a somewhat customized appearance, but they don't want to have to customize the code for each button too mcuh (ideally the same code in each button)...

Help tell me that "is" allows us to test whether two object reference variables point to the same object. I tried to test it with the following code and get some results I don't understand. Sub test1() Sheet1.Select Names.Add Name:="cellA3", RefersTo:=Range("A3") Debug.Print "range...

I am able to put macros (subs without arguments) in my personal.xls file, and they are available for running in any spreadsheet via the Tools / Macro / Run menu. But when I try to invoke a function from my personal.xls, I get an error #name? Why is it that a workbook can pull a sub from...

I have powerpoint 2000. I would like to be able to launch a file open dialogue box which would allow user to navigate to a file or directory so I can determine the path name. (easier than asking the user to type out a long path name). I checked the FAQ. I saw faq707-4114 describing how to...

Let's say I use the Worksheet_Change event which tells my a target cell or range. I am assuming it will only be a single cell (will check for that). I want to check whether that target cell lies within a named range (which is not a continguous set). Is there an easy way to do this? More...
