    Automate email reply with unique file attached

    Here's what I need to automate: We receive an email with "12345" (for example) in the subject line. This triggers an automatically reply (email) with the attachment 12345.pdf from my hard drive. Is this possible? Could it be done with AutoHotKey or some other program? Thanks

    Phone prompt system to retrieve info from Database

    I have a business idea that would (potentially) use a phone prompt system to retrieve info from a database based on the callers responses to a number of basic questions. Initially, the system would probably not use voice recognition (to minimize costs). I'd appreciated it if some would point...

    Self Inflicted wound using "userpasswords2"

    I purchased a Dell Latitude D600 (Win XP Pro) which worked great until I got tired of seeing the log on screen. A (too) quick web search showed if I entered "userpasswords2" in the (Start/Run) Run window I would eliminate the sign on. Initially, I though I really messed up my computer as I...

    HDD Miraculously Recovered (!!!) - help with last step

    As you might have seen on a previous post - I recovered my data from a dead/dieing HDD (called the December Disk). Near miraculous – equivalent to the Virgin Mary appearing on a grilled-cheese (see Ebay). Now the easy part: I’m now working off a backup drive with old data (November Disk)...

    Can’t boot up when 2nd drive installed…

    There’s actually more to this problem. My computer froze while downloading a large PDF and I could not get it to reboot (and Dell couldn’t figure it out either). So I swapped my hard drive (I’ll call this one December drive) with my backup hard drive (I’ll call this my November drive) and...

    Basic XP Scheduled Task Problem

    I can easily add programs to the Scheduled Task function in XP. However, how do I get a program to run if, once the program opens it requires someone to click “run” or like with Ad-Aware which requires “start” then “next”? Better question – is it possible to do this without knowing C, C++...

    Bootable section of HD possibly damaged

    My hard drive died (cannont reinstall [repair] XP, computer screen goes blank when booting, but passes all of the extensive Dell diagnostic tests, I've replaced cables, changed hard drive positions, etc...) and I suspect it may be due to damage to the bootable section of HD. If this is the...

    Added new primary hard drive but cant access info from old hard drive

    I have replaced my old hard drive (HD-O) with a new hard drive (HD-N) because the operating system was corrupt and could not be repaired without erasing HD-O according to Dell. HD-N now is working fine with MS XP. However I can’t get the computer to recognize HD-O (tested and operational) so I...

    This simple query that combines data from two simple tables. Main table (400 records) includes a year field with data in 2 digit form (e.g. 1998 is shown as 98). The Year table includes both the 2 and 4 digit year. The two tables are linked by the 2 digit year code so my query provides the...

    Form appears "locked" can't enter info (subform is ok)

    My form appears to be locked - I can no longer enter info (but the subform still works fine). I just get a “ping” when I try to enter info. This is a relatively simple (Access 101) Table feeding a Query that feeds a Form. I may have created the problem when I sorted the query so all records...
