The code works fine, but I'm wondering if it's the most efficient? Basically, I'm using simple counter statements (i = i + 1) to update the row and column elements as the code inserts each item. I don't know of any other way to do this, so just curious -- it is working, so I don't need a solution unless there's a more dynamic way to do it. For Each itm In fld.Items ... Set rng = wks.Cells(i, j) rng.Value = msg.To j = j + 1 .... After inserting each field, I update the counter. I also update the row at the end of this For. Susan H.

Then you should be able to do a virus scan on drive D or what ever it becomes. Or you could put the drive in a USB drive case and do the same thing using a working PC or laptop if you have one.. When done scanning you could try to recover some of your unbacked up files before placing the drive back into the bad PC. If the AV finds any viruses, malware or what ever be sure to write them down so you can Google them and decide if that is what caused your problem and sometimes even how to remove them. HTH.

Trouble started after. But that was HAL9004. Not sure why that should affect communications among ALL the machines on the network. More clues - I have some shortcuts on the HAL9005 desktop pointing to folders on HAL9004. They still open up the HAL9004 folders and I can copy files from 9004 to 9005. But not the other way.

There's still some problems with HAL9004 - the rebuilt machine. First, I can only get to a folder on HAL9004 from HAL9005 through 'View Workgroup Computers". If I open a folder on Hap9004 from HAL9005 (my main machine) cannot copy any files to HAL9004. It tells me that the disk is full or write protected or the source file is locked. Obviously something is still wrong on HAL9004 - but I'm not sure where to start.

When I set the security setting in Sygate to allow all - no problems. There are two entries of NT Kernel & System in the Sygate Application list - both the same. One is set to Ask, the other Allow. If I set the Ask one to Allow it sets itself back to Ask. So I removed it. Now the remaining one which was set to Allow is now set to Ask. I used the Advanced tab for NT Kernel to set a range of trusted Ips but that didn't seem to help. So I turned off Sygate and the two computers can talk to each other just fine. Does anyone know Sygate and know what might be going on here?

CounterSpy and even more so Vipre will prevent this and a high percentage of others from installing in the first place. Removal tools like this are great for the immediate remediation but IMO address the problem too late. Try Vipre - it's a new generation of security tool, built from the ground up rather than pieced together. I'd been beta testing it for about 6 months before they finally released it to the public. Quite amazing the low resource use it takes but the effectiveness of it. And it will only get better. They're pumping a lot of work into new generation of threats and detecting rootkits early on and such. They also have the capability of adding port control (firewall) into Vipre. Its an exciting new, lean and mean security tool. The current version of CounterSpy is still the second generation tool, it will be upgraded shortly to be the new leaner and even more effective.

Apparently it used to work, but doesn't any more... He creates a word document (2003 SP1) with hyperlinks in, they work. He attaches it to an email (Outlook 2003 SP1), sends it to someone and the hyperlinks in the document no longer work. I've tried using an address with \\server\folder rather than a drive letter, but it still makes no difference, the hyperlinks have all been replaced with file:///c:\profiles\jtydda... etc instead of j:\QC... or \\uksfs01\departments\qc... I can't find anything about this on google (maybe I'm just phrasing my search wrong)... does anyone have any ideas what to do about it?

Type in the location where you want it and then select move. I tested it with the saved games folder (I don't have any so I don't care if I loose it.) If you don't like the results do the same thing from the new location and restore defaults and it goes back. I think Ed's suggestion that you have some type of backup is probably good..

It's so simple in XP and unfathomable in Vista. I got a 500GB USB external drive for precisely this purpose, and the Music directory is rapidly consuming the built-in drive, so I need to move either Music or Documents to the external drive to gain some breathing space. I've tried lots of things. Suggestions? Instructions?

The truth is, most of the time when there's an obvious error like this and they insist they've done everything right, they usually come back a few days later with "oops... " I just wanted to check because she's linking to 2007 and while I can't imagine that they've changed the object model so much that there's no Application object, I wanted to check. I uninstalled 2007 a few weeks ago -- just too much of a memory hog for my older system. I'm going to install it on a separate system, but I haven't yet.

As a Canadian citizen, I am not sure whether they are asking for Canadian or US references and where and how this should be followed up. I would like to know a bit of the lay-of-the-land before I proceed so any help or comments will be greatly appreciated.

However, you can get a federal tax id. It's pretty simple. Here's info: http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/moneymatters/a/taxidhowtoget.htm This is a bit more specific: http://www.devnic.com/tutorials/federal_tax_id_number_form.html Fill out the form, call the 800 number, walla! I'd call the University accounting office, thought, and tell them you're doing business in Canada and don't have either a Tax I.D. Or a SS#, and see what they'll accept before jumping through that hoop. Do you have a Canadian business number?

I can see there is a bit of work ahead of me. Fortunately the arrangement is still in initial mode so I have a little lead time. If there is any other issues that you have ran across or potential problems to manage please let me know.
