    Tab behaviour in Word Tables

    I have a document template with a number of tables used for text entry. What I would like is to tab around from one cell to the next, then from the last cell of one table into the first cell of another. Less desired, but also satisfactory would be to move out of the last cell and go nowhere in...

    .mpg problem

    Boss has this supplier's video he wants to play. Win 2K Win Media Player 9 ( 9.00.00.2980 - just upgraded today). Sure enough the file will not play. I get the message that the format is not valid or the file is corrupt. I know the file is fine cause it plays on my PC - Win XP Win Media Player...

    Column Headers in Excel

    Here's a kind of weird one. My boss noticed on another computer (Office 97) that the Column Headers were numbered rather than labled. Normally the rows are numbered and the columns are lettered. Well on this machine both are numbered. I have never seen this nor can I find a way to change ( not...

    Object Variable

    Just moving up from Access 97 and trying 2K. I am used to using the FindFirst method of the RecordsetClone object in order to do form navigation with a combo box. I notice that the wizard in 2K writes the following code in order to accomplish this... ' Find the record that matches the...

    Well ... Just reformatting a machine that had ME (ugh). Added a second HDD to system and copied all files that I wanted to keep. Unplugged second drive, formatted original drive, installed Win 2K (with all SPs and patches) plus a whole batch of programs. All this with no weirdness. Get to the...

    Un-erase Files

    Well the boss has done it again (I swear it was not me!). He has deleted a pile of important files from his HDD as well as from the Recycle Bin. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best way to go about trying to recover these. Is there native support within Windows? Is...

    Document Table Structure

    Hi there New to SQL - moving from Access. Have gotten pretty used to the handy Access documenter which produces customizable listings of your database objects, properties etc. I have not been able to locate something similar in SQL tools. Wishful thinking, stupid question or what??? thanks...

    Open up the case on a Toshiba Satellite

    Having never opened up a notebook before, I am being cautious. I have a Toshiba Satellite 2800 with a dead DVD-ROM. Think I need to open the case completely in order to change out. Have all the screws I can find removed, yet still does not want to open. Can anyone offer general or specific...

    Boot up Freeze

    This is kind of a strange one. I have just swapped out an old Delta CD from a PII Celeron system. The old drive would not read predictably so I thought it was toast. Put in a newer Acer Cd that I know works fine. Boot the system, play some disks, install some software and all goes well. However...

    Booting W 2K systems

    I am hoping to settle a bit of a disagreement here. My company does work on pc controlled scientific instruments. One of the engineers here asked me if it was alright to power to instrument off without first quitting windows. It is possible to shut the pc off in this way because it gets it's...

    Use Laptop on Different Domains

    I have a laptop that I would like to use on two separate domains. I would like to be a domain user in both, if that is possible. The only way I have been able to do this is to change the Domain in TCP/IP properties, which is a bit inconvenient. Probably a dumb question, but there you go...

    Outlook Express

    I want to upgrade a computer from Win 98 to Win XP. I figure to format the HDD and load fresh from start. However I want to see if I can preserve the Blocked Senders List and Mail Rules (both of which are quite large). Does anyone know if or how this is possible??? Thanks, Chris

    I have been using XP on my laptop with a local account. I would like to use an account supplied by my Server. However once I create the new account and log in, the OS makes a new home folder with a fresh bunch of settings. I doesn't seem to matter how I try to rename the folders, I can't seem to...

    XP Pro as Domain Controller

    Not sure if this is possible or if I am using the correct syntax, but here goes. I have obtained a evaluation copy of SQL Server and I would like to do some testing and development at home. I think I need to create a domain-based network at home in order to test the install and operations...

    I have a form that is used to make Purchase Requisition Requests. The Request can be Authorised and, once this is done, the requst is locked. This all works well however there is a symptom that I am not sure I have diagnosed properly. Even if I am right as to the cause, I am not sure how to fix...
