    Microsoft Excel Error when Trying to Perform Save As

    I've just come across this problem. Having read this page, I tried Magee's solution - just reset the Worksheet menu bar and this has solved the problem. For your information, I have:- - Excel 97 SR-2 - FileNet IDM Desktop 3.0.0 I searched for idmxl8.xla and this file is not on my hardrive.

    is there a way to reduce file size of a pdf?

    We edit PDF documents themselves, and I've found that successive "saves" will increase the filesize - so I presume that Acrobat is saving some sort of history or undo list. By choosing the "save as" command (and then overwriting the existing file) then the file size...

    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) - Please Help?

    I believe that I have seen errors like this when developing on a W2K box (even with Service Packs installed). I also get an error sometimes along the lines of "Temporary Registry Key" something or other - the resultant error message to the browser is very similar to the one you have...

    Picture from database

    In your database, have a field called, say, ImageFileName that stores the actual file name of the image; like this: ------------- ImageFileName ============= Image01.gif Image02.gif Image03.gif ------------- Then, in your ASP page, create the HTML for an image and then interject your filename...

    Displaying A Number With 2 Places Beyong the Decimal Point

    Or try this ... Dim Number Number = 10.9 Response.Write FormatNumber(Number, 2) The second parameter to FormatNumber is the number of decimal places that should be shown. This will work as VBScript within ASP executing on the server.

    128bit enc SSL doesn't work on older browser??

    IE 5.5 is the earliest version to support 128 bit encryption I believe. Previous versions of this browser only support up to 64 bit encryption. I'm not sure about other browsers, such as Netscape. If a client browser does not support 128 bit encryption then it's never going to show pages...

    Do I need AV/Firewall software?

    Cheers. I've now got mobile connectivity, and found - like you pointed out - that the browser and email are pretty simple versions. I had also not seen any adverts for PDA AV/firewall software and from that concluded that there wasn't a need for it. I'll look in to McAfee anyway.

    Do I need AV/Firewall software?

    Hi, I have just (2 days ago) got a pda running PocketPC. It's great, and when I've sorted out my mobile phone stuff I'm going to use emails and internet explorer too. But, are there any virus issues like there are with normal PCs? And what about firewalls? I wouldn't dream of using the web...

    Removing an object - need to destroy it as well?

    When I remove an object from a Collection, is that object destroyed? Or should I first set the object to nothing and then remove it? thanks, Alex

    FSO.GetFile causes my server to hang

    Finally found a solution to this! I installed the Service Packs 1 and 2 (I'm running Windows 2000) and that has solved the problem.

    Email alert, if files checked in/out

    The microsoft article that Kamikrazy suggests looks really good - it takes you through all the detail required to create an ActiveX DLL to interface with SourceSafe. I've read through it, and now started using it, but I have a runtime error with VB:- "User defined type not defined" -...

    Starting afresh with Win2000

    Hi, To cut a long story short I want to clear out the entire contents of the hard drive and reinstall Windows 2000 (it is currently installed over Win98, and it's a bit messy!). I have bootable disks, installation disks, etc. But how do I actually get started with this task? Can I boot up in...

    Can you change "to-do" report in MS Project?

    Hello. We get issued weekly print-outs from Microsoft Project that shows our tasks for the forthcoming few weeks. This is a really useful report. However, it could be more useful if a couple of columns of data were added (such as "project name" and "due date"). My...

    How do I change the contents of a listbox?

    Cheers Mithrilhall - that works nicely. Do you know what the command is to clear a list box completely? Is it something like: document.frmTest.select1.clear; I've tried guessing the method's name, and had a scan around the web, but I can't find anything.

    How do I change the contents of a listbox?

    I'd like to change the items that appear in a listbox based on the selection of radio buttons. So, suppose I have a radio button labelled "Alphabet" and another radio button labelled "Numbers", then I'd like the list box to display either the alphabet or numbers depending on...

    Has anyone heard the term "white labelling"?

    Hi, I work on B2B websites, and one of the new buzz phrases that's going around is "white labelling" - it's used to describe displaying one website within another. So, a consumer may use a website (say mywebsite.com) that allows them to apply for something on line. White labelling...
