Microsoft Office upgrade
I own Microsoft Office 98 and wish to upgrade to the 2004 or newer version of Office suite. Are there any arrangements for doing so, other than an outright purchase similar to a new user. Also, I am a teacher; any "specials" possible. You'll find lots of information here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ The Teacher/Student edition of Office 2004 is cheaper than the upgrade price, so you may as well buy Student/Teacher Edition brand new. For Office 2004--the Teacher/Student edition is exactly the same as the regular edition. Buying 2004 now will entitle you to get the forthco...

forcing sounds to play
the database has a logout proceedure, which unfortunately one person often forgets to log out at the end of the day, so he doesn't get the updates. He often stays late, so I have written some code to prompt him with a messagebox when it is after 5:30 to logout. However, I also want a sound file to play when this messagebox loads, which i have the code to do. What I really want to know is can you unmute the sound on a computer and set the sound level (so it is not too loud, but enough to get his attention)? or does this border on hacking? -- Message posted via AccessMonster.com http://w...

convert 13.11.2009 general to 13/11/2009 date, how to
Dear all, Office 2003, Windows XP Pro SP3 I have a column of dates in the following form 13.11.2009 (i.e. dd/mm/yyyy) where the cells' format are 'General'. I wanted to sort in ascending date order from 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2009.

How do I convert text to a date?
I have received a spreadsheet with a range of cells holding date information, but in text format as follows: '20070801' - i.e. the format is ''yyyymmdd' Is there an easy way to convert these cells from text to a date format, ideally 'yyyy/mm/dd'? I could use something along the lines of (new cell) = LEFT(ref, 4)&"/"&MID(ref,5,2)&"/"&RIGHT(ref,2) and THEN change the format of the resulting cell, but it seems very laborious - is there a smarter way? thanks in advance Martin Best way if indeed that is the format, select the co...

Converting imported data
Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked before - did a search of the messages but didnt find the info. I have a database of accidents. The entries in the date field are all in the American format, i.e. 11/04/03. I need the UK format, 04/11/03 as my UK PC doesnt recognise these as dates. Is there a quick way of converting this column of over 1000 entries so that I can sort the data? Be gentle - I'm no expert on Excel.

Converting Publisher 98 file to pdf
Hi all, I hope you can help me... I'm very frustrated because I've been trying to convert a Publisher 98 (version 5.0 for Windows 95 - I'm on XP) file to pdf so that I can send it to be read on a computer that doesn't have Publisher installed - and, I have not been able to do it. In Publisher help they suggest doing certain things, but when I try, the menu they speak of isn't there, so I can't complete the action. I'm at my wit's end. I need instructions very simple as I'm new to all this. I did take my file to a printer, but they don't use PC...

MP3 Player won't work with WMP11 on Vista Home Basic Edition

Converting Crosstab Table to Database
Does anyone if it is possible to convert a table (ie headings along the side and headings along the top) to a database format (eg Field names along the top and data within the table)?

converting publisher to word #2
Is it possible to convert a publisher document into Word It depends on why you want to convert it to Word. It can be done but you lose all of the formatting and the graphics. Kind of trashes the reason Publisher was used in the first place. Why *do* you want to do it? There may be other options available that will suit your needs.
