    Hello I have a macro that saves Outlook emails to a specified folder on disk. Because Outlook lacks a GetSaveAsFilename method, I'm using Excel's, as follows: c = Excel.Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=txtCompoundFilename, fileFilter:="Outlook Message (*.msg), *.msg"...

    History - but no temp files?

    Hi all. I am looking into potential misuse of a computer for which I have responsibility. There is evidence in the History that an inappropriate website was visited, the page titles suggesting a registration process was completed. There is a cookie for said site, created on the same date, and...

    Extracting the formula from a linked autoshape

    In Excel, you can assign a formula to an Autoshape, so that it displays the value of a reference. Is it possible to read this formula back using VBA? I tried to use the construction Autoshapes("name").textframe.characters.text, but this returns the result of the formula (i.e. what is displayed...

    Pivot Chart formatting persistence

    Hello all, I have a simple pivot table from which I have created a pie chart. (Project ID codes vs hours booked to project) If I add data labels to the chart using "Format Data Series", then the labels disappear when the pivot table refreshes. If I add the labels using the "Chart Options"...

    All cell backgrounds gone grey?

    OK, this is an odd one. I have a workbook in which all of the cells which have no background color (i.e. "No Color") have turned a grey colour (very similar to the colour of the sheet tabs at the bottom) instead of the usual white. New worksheets I create in this workbook have the same colour...

    Excel - negative time display

    If a formula results in a negative time (e.g. -3:14), excel converts it to "####", and helpfully provides a tool tip telling you it has done this. Is there any way to disable this behaviour? The odd thing is that, if I chart a range containing "valid" (positive) times and "invalid" negative...

    Editing '97 database in '03

    Hello folks, I have an Access 97 database which requires some tweaking. The customer requires the database to remain in Access 97, however I now have Access 2003. I notice that Access 2003 has a function "Tools/Database Utilities/Convert Database/To Access 97 Format". I therefore assume that...

    Excel ruled line in header/footer?

    Hello experts, Does anyone know if it is possible to include a ruled line to separate Excel headers/footers from the "body" of the document? This is easy in Word, by using the drawing tools in the header and footer, but I cannot see a way to achieve it in Excel. Many thanks.
