    Virtually Identical Select Queries - One Works, Other Doesn't?

    Hello, I am working on developing a utility that imports two spreadsheets into two tables and runs a series of queries to compare the two in order to find any changes or new records. Each spreadsheet/table is identical in structure. They are a list of orders that get sent to us by our primary...

    Frustrating Issues w/ Excel Hyperlink() function

    Hello, The business I work for maintains hundreds of documents that all have links in them linking to various other documents on our file server. A while back, we had some issues with Excel breaking the hyperlinks, but we fixed that (or so we thought) by using the Hyperlink() function directly...

    Corrupt Form, But Only On My Machine?

    Hello, I have come across an odd issue that I cannot figure out how to fix. Hoping someone here can help me out. I got a request earlier to add a couple of fields to an export query in one of our access databases. Easy request, figured it'd take a couple minutes tops. Most of our programs are...

    Dealing With # In Imported Data

    I am working on designing a database to manage tool calibrations. This task was previously handled by a very unwieldy spreadsheet. I have created a master table for the tool data and a linked table to store calibration data for each tool. This is a one-to-many setup. This all works fine for...

    Excel Hyperlinks Loading File As Read Only?

    We have a large spreadsheet here at work with lots of hyperlinks to files on our network. For some reason, on one particular computer, when the user clicks a hyperlink, it opens the related file as read only. On other users computers, it doesn't. I've already checked the security permissions on...

    Excel Crash Leading To Broken Links

    CJTyo and everyone else, I haven't found a solution to this problem, but I DID figure out how to make the backup copies work correctly. For whatever reason, they have to be in the same location as the original corrupt file for the hyperlinks to work. Initially, I was copying the file to my...

    Excel Random Number Generator

    Something like this should work, although it may need to be tweaked slightly to fit your needs. =IF(C1=111,IF(D1>50,RANDBETWEEN(40,49))) This is written assuming your data starts in cell A1. Take this same line and modify the values to get your second request. Hope that helps! Brooks Tilson...

    Excel Crash Leading To Broken Links

    Well, I found and ran the repair, but it made no difference whatsoever. I am utterly mystified as to why this is happening. We maintain "versioned" backups as well, and I pull a copy of this document from over a month ago, just out of curiosity, and when I opened it, the links were broken. Not...

    Excel Crash Leading To Broken Links

    Unfortunately, from what I can tell, the office diagnostics was removed in 2010 (the version we have). If I am wrong, please feel free to correct me though! Brooks Tilson Database Development Tilson Machine, Inc.

    Excel Crash Leading To Broken Links

    Skip, I alone am our "database development group", but this spreadsheet was created entirely without my input and has been in use for years. The links aren't query references or cell references, but literal hyperlinks to other files. Sometimes they're excel docs, but most of the time, they're...

    Excel Crash Leading To Broken Links

    No luck. It did the exact same thing. I used the VBA code that MakeItSo suggested. Brooks Tilson Database Development Tilson Machine, Inc.

    Excel Crash Leading To Broken Links

    We maintain a massive spreadsheet that has hundreds, if not thousands, of links to files all around our server document tree. It crashed during loading this morning, and it broke all of the links. They now all refer to a C:\users\... type link. Something like this happened once before, and I was...

    What is going wrong with this ADO code?

    What is going wrong with this ADO code?

    I've written code like this quite a few times, but all of a sudden this code is throwing an error message. The error message is this: Run-time error '-2147217900 (80040x14)': Invalid SQL statement; expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE', 'SELECT', or 'UPDATE'. The code generating this is as...

    Excel: Just a few row labels missing, along with "invisible" data

    I have no idea, as I just went to check it out and the guy had just deleted the rows entirely and remade them (even though I specifically asked him not to). So I really don't have anywhere to go from here regarding this. I appreciate your efforts though, and apologize for wasting your time...

    Hello, yes I did indeed check the font color, formatting, so on and so forth. Thanks for the suggestion though. Any other ideas? Brooks Tilson Database Development Tilson Machine, Inc.
