I had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall everything from scratch, and somehow I lost all audio except system sounds (like beep from errors). It appears that I do not have drivers installed for whatever sound cards / audio devices I have, because under Contol Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, it...

I'm getting 404 messages (url does not exist) for valid sites that other people can call up. For example, this address http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/agent2/tv_enua.exe is for a TTS engine download that I need, and other people have told me they can connect to it. When I try...

I need to download the Lernout & Hauspie TTS engine for MS Agent. I've found a dozen or more references to this location: http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/agent2/tv_enua.exe but when I try it I get a 404 error. I've seen stuff about microsoft planning to discontinue support for...

I have NEVER had enough power to run the Excel worksheets I build at work. I always have to break them up into pieces and manually convert formulas to values to keep them from crashing my computer. Well, PCs keep getting better, and I've finally landed in a job where my boss sees that buying me...

The following code works with PC-format text files but not with UNIX-format text files. BULK INSERT gltran.dbo.pOneField FROM 'e:\acctg\SourceFiles\dailyfeed042.txt' WITH ( ROWTERMINATOR = '\n' ) I know I can convert my UNIX files to PC format with freeware (that's...

What could cause MS Agent to function properly in all ways except not produce any sound ouput? I copied a VB6 program from one computer to another and on the new computer there is no sound when the agent is supposed to speak. The speech balloon appears normally and the text scrolls through it...

I've gotten ahold of some kind of malicious code that installs a group of icons on my desktop (for gambling, pornography etc.) every time I start the computer. I tried running the "system restore" utility, but it says no changes have been made to my system. Also, in prior versions of windows I...

I have a VB6 program I wrote under Windows ME that reads text files out loud using MS Agent. I just got a new computer with XP-Media operating system and now I get no sound, although the program seems to be running correctly otherwise. Other notes and things I've checked - I'm feeding the audio...

I have a couple dozen tables that have 25 fields each, 23 of which are text type. I need to go into all the text fields and change the Unicode Compression option from No to Yes. Is there an easier way to do this than using Table Design to change each fiedl one-by-one? BTW, this is the answer to...

I've got a database template where I'm keeping info I download off the mainframe. My database size runs about 2.3 times the size of my download from the mainframe. I usually download about 1 GB of data per month so that means my Access databases take up 2.3 GB. Is that normal, or am I doing...

I've got a make-table query that takes a 255-character line of input and breaks it up into 20 or so different fields. The first field, for example, contains only the first 5 characters of the string. When I go to look at the field properties of the table I made, the property of that first field...

When I use workbooks.close I can set the option SaveChanges to False, but I can't find the switch to prevent the message "Do you want to save clipboard contents to paste later?" from interrupting program flow. I did find a workaround - if you copy a single blank cell just before...

I want to write a formula in a query that pulls data from the record above. I have all my records numbered sequentially. I want the formula to take the last name from the row above and combine it with the first name on the current row, such as: Sample data (two fields, sequential record number...

How can I copy an entire database structure only? I frequently need to make templates from large databases and it takes Access a long time to delete records, so making a template by copying everything then deleting data is time consuming. Or, can I make record deletion faster somehow? Turn off...

Do data manipulation-type queries run faster with more RAM, all other things being equal? I thought I read somewhere that RAM matters but I need to PROVE it. My boss just bought me a new 2 gh computer with 512 ram. I can get another 512 ram (or whatever) if it will make a significant difference...
