VBA from another app: Suppressing Excel confirmation dialog?After creating/formatting several worksheets from MS Access, I'd like to delete
the "Sheetn" worksheets that got put there when I did a .WorkBooks.Add.
I avoided using them because I'm not sure how/why they are created - i.e. maybe
some user's defaults would only create 1 empty sheet or none.
So, form MS Access's VBA I'd like to do:
On Error Resume Next
.Worksheets("Sheet1").Delete
.Worksheets("Sheet2").Delete
.Worksheets("Sheet3").Delete
.Worksheets("Sheet4").Delete
On Erro...
Importing Data into an Excel Pivot Table via AccessI have set up a query in Microsoft Access which is linked to our AS400
server. I have created pararmeters within Access which asks for certain
fields which works. I then go into Excel and create a pivot table with the
external data source that I have created in access. When I go to enter a
pararmeter within Microsof Query I get a reply saying that "Parameters can
not be used with this Query", what I want to do is setup a parameter on the
Excel spreadsheet which then goes and gets the data i require from this
parameter. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with thi...
how do I add times in Excel and result in hours & minsI want to insert a time when I start work and a time when I take a break,
then a time when I leave work.
Following that I want to be able to add up the amount of hours that I have
worked.
This will enable me to plan my week ahead and ensure I only allocate a
specific amount of time to a project.

Illegal operation error while printing EXCEL or WORD FilesHi,
I am facing an illegal operation error when i try to print any file from
excel (any no. of pages), this happens in stand alone printer as well as a
networked printer.
When we press the print button, it flashes this message, but still prints,
but once the printing is completed, i will have to restart the PC. Due to
this error other applications PRINTING also will NOT HAPPEN and the only way
out is, restart the PC.
This happens not only in EXCEL, it happens in all the MS applications
(outlook, access, front page, powerpoint also).
When I check the print manager (before restart),...

Opening a new instance of ExcelI am using multiple monitors for work and it is great! Is
there a setting that I can use so that it opens each new
excel file in a new excel window so I can drag different
ones to each monitor? Is there a similar setting for Word?
I am using Excel 2002 and Word 2002.
Thank you.
Hi,
Yes, you can check the Windows in Taskbar checkbox in
Tools; Options. This is on the View tab for both Word
and Excel.

Quirky recent file list #2
Debra---
I do tend to open from Windows Explore more then File>Open. But I am
saving the file.
It's more that it is annoying when I close a file by accident and don't
quite remember where it got saved on the server.

Send & Recieve on openThis isn't really a problem so much as an annoyance.
Due to some other issues, I recently decided to reformat
and reinstall everything.
Before, whenever I opened Outlook, it would automatically
retrieve all my emails as soon as the program was
launched.
Now, after the reinstall, when I open Outlook, it will
just sit there until I actually click the "Send and
Recieve" button.
Anyone have any idea what may have changed, or how to
force it to check automatically again?

Linking a graph to a csv file**Excel 2002
Hello, I'm sure this is exceedingly easy, but somehow,
I'm screwing this up. I ultimately need to have a self-
updating PowerPoint file (client mandates a ppt file).
According to ppt's help, that means I have to use linked
Excel graphs, not embedded ppt graphs. However, my
programmer will be supplying me with tons of csv files.
When I try to create an excel file with a data link to a
csv file, it tells me that it can't update it unless I
open the source file. I *can't* take the time to open
each csv - there will be hundreds. What am I missing

Import Palm filesCan anyone help me by telling me how to import palm files

Depends what you can export to from Palm Desktop. Personally, I've found
this messy. Why not just get sync software that can sync your Palm with
Outlook directly? Chapura Pocketmirror or Pumatech Intellisync are two
ideas....or your Palm CD may have come with this option.

Does anyone have a dashboard gauge (speedometer style) for Excel?I am trying to create dashboard charts from Excel data and would love other

types of charts allowing for real time viewing of "what if" scenarios.

EXCEL TROUBLESHOOTING #2I have an excel file (2000 format), that after I made a
number of changes is causing me problems when I re-open
the file. Windows task manager goes to 100% CPU
activity, and i cant do anything within the excel file.
However, if I set recalculation to manual before I open
the file, all seems fine.
Obvioulsy I have a problem. But how do i find that
problem ?
Thanks in advance.
I have had some experience running large spreadsheets lately. Above a
certain size, the recalculation time seems to climb very fast. While Excel
is recalculating, you can't do anything anyway.

Debugger comes up when attaching files to Outlook 2002I have a pro bono non-profit client running win xp sp3 & ms office pro.
Last week she reported that every time she tried to attach a file to an
outlook email, she received a dialog asking her if she wanted to start
the debugger. It never allows her to attach the file and if she goes
through with starting the debugger, she gets a variety of errors...
never a repeating error.
Anyone have any experience with this error?

Excel ignores boot-time regional settings when interpreting a dateI have a third party DDE app that exports dates as strings, correctly
using the short date format in the regional and language settings,
which, in my case is MM/DD/YYYY (reset at every boot).
Unfortunately excel insists in interpreting that date as DD/MM/YYYY
[Application.International(xlDateOrder)=1, it should be 0],
disregarding my regional settings. The result is that all the dates are
wrong or #VALUES!
If this is not wierd enough, listen to this: it only happens after I
reboot (when the date format is reset to MM/DD/YYYY). If subsequently I

Excel to check for regular expression?Hi,
How do you use Regular expression in excel? For eg: Check a column of
data to see whether are all of them valid email addresses?
Please advise
THanks
By valid, do you mean that the email is in proper syntax or that it is an
actual email address.
Text formulas can be used for proper syntax. Perhaps a Visual Basic
proceedure.
I doubt you can check that the email address actually exists, as many
companies and ISPs will simply disregard and drop mail to invalid email
addresses to eliminate spam

List Shows Private FilesDID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS?
Whenever I save an attachment, and go to the drop down
menu for file name, I am shown a list of dozens of files
recently accessed on the computer (not just files
accessed by Outlook Express). This occurs even if recent
cocuments is turned off in Windows XP and even if the
recent documents folder for Windows XP has been cleared.
This shows too much! Others using Outlook Express on the
same computer can potentially view the file names of
every document, image, and device recently accessed.
Where is the folder to clear this data out of?

Memory Usage When Playing WMV HD FilesHi all,
When I watch a WMV HD file using WMP11, the file appears to start up and
play well until I try to fast forward / jump to another part of the file,
then the player just stops and after watching via the task manager, WMP
memory usage goes through the roof ie. gigabytes and ultimately the player
crashes.
Have reinstalled the player, have tried various codecs etc but all appears
to be unsuccessful. System is XP based, E6600 cpu with 4gb PC6400 memory and
8800GTS 640mb graphics. Any help would be much appreciated.
