Subject: [Dba-office] Word macrobutton field question
Message-ID: <CA++Sg+cxZbHKRO6Jz229XOx4v7Mts6_xJ3qNHm8Vzgi2OyrqFw@mail.gmail.com>

I've never used Word's {macrobutton} field before and I tried yesterday,
but couldn't get it to work. I used the interface to insert it, using the
name UpdateFields as the macro name -- from the provided list. I think
created a sub procedure named UpdateFields() and added it first to a
module. When it didn't trigger, I moved it to ThisDocument. I never could
get a click of the field to fire the macro.

My first question is -- do I understand this field's function correctly.
You dropped it into a document an the user clicks it to run a macro?

If that's correct does anyone else use them? I'm wondering why I can't get
it to work as expected. I didn't find much documentation on the field.

A reader wants to format values to display thousands separator (no
problem). His values will be whole numbers, mixed, and decimal values. He
wants to display whole numbers without a decimal value or trailing 00s
while accommodating decimal values. He's done it with two conditional
formatting rules, but was wondering if a custom format might work. I can't
come up with one -- how about you guys? I'm stumped, but maybe I'm just
making it too hard. Completely blank.

Hi Susan

You can use an expression:

    =Format([YourNumber], IIf(Fix([YourNumber]) = [YourNumber], "0", "0.##"))

Gustav, thanks -- that would be an option for display purposes at least.
Thanks for the alternative.

You know, some days I think I should start a regular monthly column titled
"You want to do what????" :) I've answered some strange questions today.

This isn't one of them -- this seems like a reasonable request and I think
I know the answer, but I'm not sure.

A reader wants to save her custom Quick Steps when IT upgrades her Outlook.
I'm thinking it should be automatic -- if they're stored in her pst file
and they upgrade, shouldn't it upgrade her custom Quick Steps along with
everything else?

Hi All,
Some folks on the DBA-Off Topic list have been discussing planning a get
together. I placed a Google Sheet with location information in it at:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O8G3DgNVCG_nZ9wRW4sarLEyzqBEH4bYh0jE
Woz0dHg/edit#gid=511389216

If you'd like to have your information on the list (including whether you're
interested in meeting up) please feel free to add or edit the information in
the spreadsheet.

We also have a Google Map that we update via this spreadsheet. Knowing where
everyone is may help in locating where the meet up will take place.

Please don't pass this link around as only subscribers should be using it.

Thanks,
John B

Yes you can.

Open up the VBA editor, open the UserForm and in the properties
window, there is a Font property you can change.

It doesn't look like it changes the tilte bar font or any existing
controls on the form, but only affects new controls that are added.

Message-ID: <CAAZtbWHdYC3XP4BVuBgeRq=uyH_od053ynCFvkTerjfGNv48BA@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

A while back there was a suggestion to create a new list, dba-VS, to
discuss Visual Studio development. We are going to go ahead with that
suggestion.

Since this list would include VB.net development, the dba-VB list will
be deprecated and no new posts will be allowed. The archives will
remain for the foreseeable future however.

All existing members of the dba-VB list will automatically transferred
to the new list.

These changes will take place by the end of the week and an
announcement will be made.

As always, if you have any questions/concerns please don't hesitate to
get in touch.

Your friendly neighborhood listmaster,
Bryan

Hi All,

The new dba-VS list, to discuss Visual Studio development is now live

All the old DBA-VB members have been migrated over to the dba-VS list
and should have received a subscription notice.

You shouldn't have to do anything, except post to the new list using
dba-vs at databaseadvisors.com.

If you weren't subscribed to dba-VB and want to get in on the party
that will be happening over at dba-VS, please head on over to
http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-vs and subscribe.

As always, if you have any problems, please get in touch.

Hi All,

I have stepped down from any role of responsibility with Database Advisors.

 

I want to thank everyone involved with the running of Database Advisors over
the years, especially:

Keith Williamson, our Treasurer - the man who keeps it all paid for 

Bryan Carbonnell, our List Master - the man who keeps it all working 

Jim Lawrence, our Web Master - the man who keeps it all out there for the
public

And all of our moderators, current and throughout the years, Gary,
Francisco, Bryan, Andy, Debbie, Donna, Lembit, Martin, Mike, Reuben, Roz,
(and anyone I missed). While you have not needed to moderate much, it does
still take time, and without you, we may have had chaos ;-)

 

I would also like to thank all of our list members for participating. Your
questions, answers and comments have lead us all to greater knowledge and
you have participated in a manner that creates camaraderie.

 

I wish Database Advisors and all of you the best!

Sincerely,

John Bartow

Hi Susan,

What is "docking panes"?  Is this arranging windows in Word?  Or, what?  
I don't know the term.

Me again,

Oh, I think I know now what you mean - such things as the Thesaurus 
pane, for instance, can be docked at the edge of the page, or they can 
be floating over the document.  Aside from closing the pane with the 
little 'x' button, can you not drag the pane by its top bar?  I have 
both 2010 and 2013, but not 2007, so I may not be much help.

Yesterday, while using 2007, I docked a dialog and a pane and then couldn't
undock them to save my soul. They're still docked. I'm sure it's some
little nuance that I'm just missing.
