IE8 uses 95+% of cpu after update to sp3
I just updated to XP sp3 and did updates after that and IE8 is running so slow. I loaded task manager to see what was happening and IE8 was using up to 99%. My system was a slow XP sp2 but did a disk clean and defrag and it was running a lot faster. Apps load and run faster after sp3 but not IE8.

VB: using a string to set a range object?

Coding Convention for using Binary FlagWords?
Hi all --- I'm thinking of putting the .Tag property to use by using a binary ("bitwise") encoded flag word. Over time I've come across different possible uses for .Tag but have never standardized how I use it. Has someone developed a convention for "parsing" binary flag words? A simple IF works if I only need to test for one flag, but if I need to check for the presence of multiple bits the only construct that comes to mind is a series of IF statements .... something along the lines of: Enum FlagWord FlagA = 1 FlagB = 2 FlagC = 4 .......

Using Outlook client for CRM 3.0 in a remote office
I need to set up access to the corporate CRM from several remote offices. All of them have VPN connections (Windows or Checkpoint). What are the steps required to configure remote clients to be able to use CRM features in Outlook. Remote users can connect to CRM through Internet Expolorer. Thanks. Assuming they are connected, the isntallation over a VPN connection should not be any different than a typicaly installation. If the connection is slow though, the first synch & Go Offline process will be noticiably slower though. -- Matt Parks MVP - Microsoft CRM "mkatsev"...

using std::deque in multiple threads
I have a thread that listens on a message queue and populates a std::deque with events from that message queue, but only holds the latest 100. In my main thread, I want to populate a listbox with the information from that deque. So, it ends up being that one thread can add/remove items from the deque while another thread is trying to iterate through them. How can I make this thread-safe?

Wordwrapping a long sentence using F2, how to end the process?
Using Excel 2002...I pasted in a long sentence, and it goes off the right side of the screen. I know that I can make it word wrap by hitting F2. I've done that and it works nicely. But I was told that I could end this process by hitting Alt-Enter, and that doesn't work... all that happens after Alt-Enter is a blank new row opens up below the word-wrapped rows. If I hit Alt-Enter again, another blank row opens up below. How can I end this F2 word-wrap and go on with other business. John alt-enter is used to force a new line in a cell. If you want to wrap the text a...

Use a wildcard within edit/replace
Hello Is there a method of using a wildcard function within edit/replace (in Excel 2003) so that I can tweak the way a formula works? The example I have is the following formula =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A8,DataImport!$A:$J,5,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($A8,DataImport!$A:$J,5,FALSE)) which I would like to change to =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(TEXT($C8,"0000),DataImport!$D:$E,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(TEXT($C8,"0000"),DataImport!$D:$E,2,FALSE)) The issue is (I think) that this formula is repeated many times over in one column over a number of worksheets - therefo...

File in use .... is locked for editing
