Publisher file made in Publisher 2007 won't open in 2007
I produced an 8.5 x 11 brochure two days ago in Publisher 2007. I was able to save, resave and reopen the file many times during the day. When I tried to open the file today, I get the "Publisher cannot open the file" error message. I've tried to open the file on two different machines with Publisher 2007 and get the error message both time. One has XP Pro, the other has Visa Home Basic. It's a 1.6 meg file. I have a smaller publisher file of a bumper sticker (40 kb) which was made a couple of weeks ago which opens with no problem. This is the second time I ha...

Multiple PST Files #2
I am running Outlook 2003 and would like to have Outlook use two different .pst files (one for my work stuff and one for home) on the same computer. Is it possible to do this? If so, can I can I configure one of the pst files to get e-mail from one account, while the other pst file is configured to get mail from the other account? Thanks! -D Yes, you can create multiple PSTs. I keep mine stored in the same file location but with different names.

Application hanging on file load...
Okay, I'm having the strangest problem, and I'm hoping somebody here will be able to give me an idea of how to attack it... I have an MFC application that does some networked communication, multi-threading, fun stuff... I also load and save xml configuration files. Now, on most of the computers I've run my software on, I have absolutely no problems. On SOME boxes, however, whenever I use my menu to try to load or save a file... before the File Dialog box even comes up... the application hangs. All the boxes I've tried this on have been Windows 2000 boxes with Service Pack 4....

Comparing first and last names in two lists
I have two data sources that each contain about 8000 names in seperate fields for first and last name. I can put them on seperate worksheets or append one to the other.

List Running Horizontally-Pivot Table Possible?
I just had a customer ask this one and I'm not so sure about it. 1) The customer has setup a list of information that is running horizontally instead of the typical list running vertically. 2) I just taught him how to do pivot tables and he wants to generate a pivot table with his "horizontal" list. 3) I know he can copy and paste special and use the Transpose feature to change the list from horizontally oriented to vertically oriented. 4) the question is: can he leave the table in its original orientation and still generate Pivot tables? I can't seem to make it work ...

I can no longer convert my files to pdf
I have Publisher 2003 and yesterday, my pdf menu on the top left disappeared and I can no longer convert my Publisher files to pdf. I've even uninstalled/reinstalled the Adobe Acrobat 7 and have also updated to 7.8 but still no luck. The next step was to uninstall and reinstall Publisher and still no luck.

Thread Synchronization #2
Hi, I have a shared resource, say a file which is to be accessed between multiple threads. There are say 20 Read threads and 1 Write thread. When the Write thread is writing into the file, the Read threads should be blocked, and when even 1 read thread reads, the Write thread should be blocked. The Read threads can read simultaneously, but only say 5 at a time. What kind of synchronization mechanism can I use for this? TIA, Sucharit You can create a mutex a adquire it when a read operation start, check it before start any write operation. You will need another mutex ...

Unicode "private use" glyphs in Powerpoint and Word 2008 #2
Office 12.0.0.1 on Leopard 10.5.2, all updates applied to both. A friend is migrating from Windows to Mac, and has come across something that we're trying to work around. He has some .ppt files with font glyphs in from a Unicode .ttf font (a specific purpose font for showing the LCD display characters on a piece of monitoring equipment). When we bring the font and .ppt over to the Mac, the glyphs from the normal ASCII range come over into Powerpoint 2008 fine, but the glyphs from the "private use" range from F000 upwards a way don't transfer. In Powerpoint they show as spac...

using dates Part 2
Karl was great in helping me get to this point with dates, now I'm wondering if we can take it 1 step further? For Activity Dates prior to 2/1/2007 they are using a normal reporting year and the formulas below take care of Activity dates >2/1/2007? So for example prior to 2/1/2007 1/1/2006 would have a B_Qtr of 2006-1 1) B_Qtr - 2011-1 --- Format(DateAdd("m",11,[ActivityDate]), "yyyy - q") 2) Year - 2011 ---- Year(DateAdd("m",11,[ActivityDate])) 3) Qtr - Q1 ---- Format(DateAdd("m",11,[ActivityDate]), "q") -- Than...

Send 1 address to 2 mailboxes
I want to create an address and have any mail sent to that address delivered to two separate users' mailboxes. How can I do that.

But it wouldn't allow me to add the same address to the second user ("This email address already exists in this organization").

Publisher 2000? #2
Is there a place where I can still get version 2000? I've been looking, but all I can find are updates and the 2007 trial. My computer can't run 2007. *If* if can be had, try something like eBay. (I wouldn't buy software that way but that's just my preference.) You may find you have better luck finding a leftover copy of Pub 2003 from some online retailers.

Compare 2 different workbooks with the result in a 3rd

The first two workbooks are identically formatted. How can I do this? Many thanks to all in the forum who have helped in the past. If the data is in exactly the same position in the two worksheets you could copy/paste one's data to a new worksheet and then copy the second's, doing an Edit, Paste Special, Subtract on top of the first's data.

List folders to file
Hi Does anyone have a macro that would list all the folders (with path) and subfolders to an excel sheet but not the files? Thanks Shona Shona- There's a function called CELL() that should return your filename (or any of a number of parameters) but I can't get it to work properly on my machine, so I can't make it work for you. The syntax is =CELL("filename") which ought to return the path and filename of the current file, and which you could then trim down to show just the path. Can anyone provide some guidance here? Dave, If it isn't working for you, it pro...

import from eudora #2
I have used Eudora for many years, but am planning to set up my email in outlook. I want to move all of my mailboxes to outlook. Eudora does not have an export function.
