Linking to tables on another databaseI have a live database (DataB) that is used by someone else that I am
connecting to. I have no control over the DataB database and all I
want to ever do is pull information without modifying any of the data.
If I set up linked tables from my database to DataB, how do I ensure
that I set up my database correctly so that it does not modify any of
the data on DataB?
Thanks!

Broadly speaking, you should restrict yourself to the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER region of the registry. Leave LOCAL_MACHINE and
CLASSES_ROOT alone and let Windows or other applications use those
regions. If you screw up the registry, it is much easier to fix things
up in CURRENT_USER than ...

I can't tell you how to eliminate the value, but you could conditionally

My address book has always had my business partner's email at the top, both in the main Address Book view and when I select a name from the Address Book in New Message (her first and last name start with letters in the middle of the alphabet). If I click on the Name field in either view, the names are not in alphabetical order either by first name or last name. It "appears" to be in the order I last updated the person's info in the Address Book. Essentially I want to keep ...

Custom ViewsI see from other posts that there is no way to copy a custom view from one
worksheet to another (aside from using "save as" as a work around). My next
question then is there any way to disply what settings are inherent in a
custom view so that I can re-create it in another sheet?
Thanks,

valid for the next sheet?

Custom sizing of publicationsI want to custom size my Publisher 2002 publications to make unique shaped
mini flyers, i.e. two 4.25" X 11" publications to a sheet or four 4.25" X
5.5" publications to a page. Each of the two or four documents on the sheet
would have the same content.
Accidently, I came across the option once in Publisher 2002, but now I can't
find my way back to that option.
File, Page setup, input 4.25 X 11, Publisher should default to two per page.
The other page setup is the postcard selection.

MS project: custom formula for work
Consider the following scenario:
I am a flooring contractor and I track all my jobs as one MS project.
I am planning work for 2 homes where home 1 (H1) is 1000 sq feet, and
home 2 (h2)is 2000 sq feet.
It takes one person-day to finish 500 sq feet. When I create a new task
for H1, I simply want to enter 1000 sq ft as an input about H1 and then
I want MS project to calculate 1000/500 = 2 days as the duration for H1.
Similarly, I want to enter 2000 sq ft an input about H2 and then I want
MS project to calculate 2000/500=4 days as the duration for H2.

Excel databases. I'm lost. Curses.G'day.
A few years back, I created an excel database.
First I created a from and I could toggle to the database via a tool button.
If I clicked on the row I could toggle back to that data entries in form mode.
Something else.
I changed the row and column headings.
The headings became the headings on the form instead of A, G, C, D, etc.
Instead of these grey cell references automatically given by excel, not
names in a cell underneath. Hope that makes sense.
Now that I need to create something similar again for personal use, I can't
remember how I did it.
It's driving me insane...
Graph two linear inequality equationsSo the question is.....
Any help or guidnace or direction to a web page from the gurus would

I can solve this with a stuby pencil and paper. Easy enough to get
the X and Y coordinates. How do you put it into excel to graph? I
looked online and find examples, but the more I look the more confused
I get.

j >= 0
x >=0

it out just as I have typed it - Landscape, with 2 columns/page. How do I

I suspect you've got booklet printing selected in your printer options
somewhere. You can look under File | Print, then click the Properties button
at the top of the Print dialog.

Changed Titled bar and now sort doesn't default to "Header Row"I feel like an idiot. I deleted the first row in a data field that I used to
be able to sort by. After inserting a new row and re-titling each column,
when I go to sort now the default comes up "No Header Row" and I have to
switch it back to "Header Row". Is there something I can do to get it to
default back to "Header Row" like it was before I messed it up?
Excel likes to see something different that distinguishes the header row. One
easy fix is to bold that header row.

Change Name of a Mutual Fund PERMANENTLY!!!!After doing an update of my accounts, M05 questions me as to whether "Fid
Contrafund" is a new fund or the same as one that I already own. Each time I
tell M05 that the fund is the same as one that is already in my investment
portfolio. I then select "Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX)" from a drop-down list
of investments. M05 then asks me if I'm sure they are the same fund and I
reply Yes. The problem is that I have to go through this little trial EACH
TIME I update.
Does anyone know of a way to tell the software the answer to this question
once and for all????
