I am using Excel 2002 SP3 to list whats on my camcorder tapes-
I use one column to record the location on the tape (it is shown in hours, 
minutes, seconds, frames.
the hours are usually 0 sine that are 60 minutes tapes.
I have formatted the column as hh/mm/ss
something like 29 minutes, 3 seconds and 17 frames shows up as 29/03/17
this works just fine up to a certain line (31).
there it shows something like 05/03/17 and if I look at whats in there it 
shows 01.01.1900 05/03/17.

it doesnt help to mark the whole column and format it as hh/mm/ss.
but if I copy one cell with the correct format, then erase it and then type 
in the value I want, it works.

any idea, what to do to make it working from the beginning on?

thanks
Lembit

well, it turns out that since I had formattet it to hh/mm/ss
rather than hh/mm/ss/frames, which doesnt exist of course,
(I cheated) the !?$"&"?%Excel does take the first number as hours and 
therefore doesnt allow anything beyound 24/00/00

guess i have to find a better way. If nothing else then I will use Text.

How about using seperate columns which you can then concatinate as you choose?

that is possible, but since I have the remote ctrl in one hand and type with 
the other on the number pad. it would complicate the data entry.
I did find a kind of solution: formatted it to hh/mm/ss/ff
this makes it behave like text, and as long as I always enter 0/ for the hh, 
it works out fine.

thanks

Is that doable? And if so, recommendable?

I just use as a desktop tool so limited knowledge

There could be security problems and reindexing with a network drive has 
glitches.
I can't remember how much google actually stores offsite for 30 days 
with certain options.

You even get reindexing problems with attached USB and firewire drives.
See Developers Group archives
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Desktop-Developer?lnk=li

 look up
 network shares
 mapped drives

There is new Google Desktop 3 beta for german dutch danish etc
only released 2 weeks ago.

There are 2 ways to do this - one is to map the network drive and add

Oh yes you can introduce other security issues with the Enterprise edition
(meant for multiple networked computers can even hook up remote home 
computers)
Again I have only used the Desktop Version.

Disenchanted with Norton, my update licenses have run out. So I put AVG

Grisoft site.  Did finally get the virus definition updates. 

Q: is there any compelling reason to pay for AVG - something that's 
better than the free version?  They say tech support and faster

Hi Rocky

Here's a comparison between the two:

http://www.grisoft.cz/softw/70/filedir/presale/cmpsheets/mm_pfp_cmp_us_2.pdf


For me the best reasons to pay money are the excellent and timely tech
support 
I've received from the company and the ability to schedule scans and
updates,
which you can't in the free edition

ps Dumped Norton ages ago - never looked back...but I also use NOD32 which
is 
excellent but not free.

Hi all
 
I'm running a LIMS system here at work, which is a database that drives
everything in the laboratory, and in the office afterwards. It schedules the
work for the analysts, then passes the results upstairs where they're
reported and invoiced by the admin staff.
 
To connect the computers to the server, we use a DSN connection. I've
recently discovered that I can use a System DSN to connect, so I only have
to set it up once per pc, instead of once per user per pc, which will
obviously save me hundreds of hours going around running a batch file every
time we have a new starter.
 
I'd therefore like to remove all the old user based DN connections, the only
thing is that they're held in the current_user section of the registry, and
to get to that, I'd have to get each user to log onto each pc, which would
then make hundreds more hours work, which seems silly to me.
 
So what I want to know is if it's possible to run a small batch file in
people's login scripts that will remove the old registry entries... and if
so, how I go about it.
 
Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
 
 
Jon

Hi all
 
I'm running a LIMS system here at work, which is a database that drives
everything in the laboratory, and in the office afterwards. It schedules the
work for the analysts, then passes the results upstairs where they're
reported and invoiced by the admin staff.

Have a look at http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html

That page should give you all the info you need.

Jon,
IIRC you could connect to their registry via regedit and the network and
edit it. I don't think you know the current user but you do have access to
all user accounts on that machine.

If so - depending on how many users you have, it may be more efficient to
just do it manually. (well, if the suggestion works that is :o)

Subject: [dba-Tech] Microsoft advising users run Word in safe mode.
Message-ID: <030e01c67f6f$49866640$6502a8c0@ScuzzPaq>

>From ZDnet 


http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6075907.html?tag=nl.e550 


In the wake of at least one targeted attack that exploits a new flaw in
Word, Microsoft is advising users to run the application in "safe mode." 


Running Word in the restricted mode will not fix the vulnerability, but it
will help block known modes of attack, Microsoft said in a
<http://dw.com.com/redir?destUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Ftechnet%2F
security%2Fadvisory%2F919637.mspx&siteId=22&oId=2100-1009-6075907&ontId=1009
&lop=nl.ex> security advisory published late Monday. The software maker is
also developing a security update for Word, which should be available on
June 13 or sooner, as warranted, the company said. 

Enabling "safe mode" is a two-step process. The first part involves
disabling the use of Word as an e-mail client, the second is appending
"/safe" to the command line that starts Word. Microsoft provides
instructions for home and enterprise users in its security advisory. 

News of the  <http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6074403.html?tag=nl> Word
flaw and attack surfaced last week. Word 2002 and Word 2003 are vulnerable,
but Word 2000 is not, Microsoft said. For an attack to be carried out, a PC
user must open a malicious Word document sent in an e-mail or otherwise
provided by an attacker, it said. 

Aside from changing the way Word runs, people can protect their systems by
being careful in the opening of Word documents received as an unexpected
e-mail attachment, Microsoft said.

Some time ago there was a discussion about ripping LPs.

Just came across this piece of kit for those who still have a lot of old records.

Stuart,
Thanks for that link. So far I haven't undertaken vinyl transfers. The
cassette tapes went horribly wrong. I experimented a few months ago with
different methods and eventually bought a "PlusDeck" unit which is a 5.25"
cassette tape unit that mounts in the PC. None of the software works very
well so I used to it to feed SoundForge but about the time I got everything
figured out with my test batch of tapes I found that the vast majority of my
cassettes just don't work anymore! They have a load squeal to them when
playing :o(

Maybe I'll have more luck with the vinyl - I hope!

John B.

I went to Amazon and Pre-Ordered one - it was supposedly first
available there on May 31. I got an expected ship date of AUGUST 31.
Ouch. Have to be patient.  I will have it before next WINTER anyway
;-)

Thanks for the tip Stuart.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Printer Tank Counter
Message-ID: <4477279E.8070407@san.rr.com>

Dear List:

I got a couple of Canon PIXMA iP1600s free with the purchase of a couple 
of 19 inch flat screen monitors at Fry's.

Of course, the low ink warning comes up when the carts are still about 
1/3 full but that's the scam.  Give away the razor, sell the blade.

Anyway, I refilled the cartridges but the warning still comes up every 
time I print something.  Apparently these printers are "chipped" with 
some kind of bogus counter rather than actually sensing the ink level.

In any event I combed the net looking for info on resetting this counter 
(without actually having to spend $40-50 on new carts which is what the 
printer retails for anyway).

Does anyone know how or even if this counter can be reset so the low ink 
nag screen doesn't pop up every time I print something.

MTIA,

Rocky
