It's an interesting project. First, the idea of having one process per tab and even compile the JavaScript to speed up execution (the V8 engine, go to page 13 pp) is quite clever.

It had no effect on the font size all rows came out with the Name in Font Size 4. But I have found the problem. My bad. I was not getting an error message at all and I did not have Business.MemberTypeID in the SELECT statement. When I added it as SELECT Business.MemberTypeID, ... I still did not get any error message but it would not resolve. SO I changed it to SELECT Business.MemberTypeID as TypeID, ... and all is well.

For instance, Word didn't like it when I tried to enter the = for a formula field code, so I get that it wants to control that. But, it let me add a + 1 component -- anyone have the skinny on that? I don't want to make this harder than necessary. As an after thought -- is it possible to enter the entire code manually and then somehow identify or format it as a field code? Susan H.

I'm using field codes to dynamically fill in the list. I can take any solution I like, but I have to balance worth and work. The user who updates such a list once every blue moon won't remember all the extraneous details, so the fewer the better -- not because the technique's not sound but because readers complain. :) I can skirt a lot of issues if necessary however in my effort to present the basics without a lot of bells and whistles that just confuse the issue further. In this case, I'm about ready to just say "here's how to create the numbered list -- it's up to you to figure out how intricate or simple initiating the process should be..." and then offer a few, "you could..."

I'm curious about a couple of things: 1) I'd like to copy the entire hard disk from a couple of old systems into virtual partitions under VPC. I've used Casper successfully with regular hard disks to create a bootable copy of a drive, but I'm wondering about the logistics of making a Casper clone onto a virtual drive. I presume that I'd have to wire up the old drive (20 GB) to an IDE controller in my current PC before I could get Casper to even attempt to make a clone onto the virtual drive. Has anyone done this sort of thing with VPC to clone a bootable drive on top of a fresh virtual drive to avoid having to re-install all the software? 2) The documentation for VPC 2007 is unclear on whether Windows 95 or DOS 6.22 virtual drives can be created. I'd like to try something with VPC for a client of mine who still uses -- God help us! -- DOS workstations all over his business tied to a Novell 4.11 network that I set up for him. He wants to finally install Windows workstations in the plant but still run all of his old DOS applications (he has dozens of Paradox for DOS applications running everything in his business from production scheduling to printing bar coded shipping labels to his general accounting and ordering, etc., etc.) The main fly in the ointment is that the software he uses to print bar codes on his shipping labels is a memory-resident DOS utility (remember those?). It, of course, won't run under a DOS window in Windows XP. I was wondering whether I could set up a DOS 6.22 virtual machine and see if this memory-resident utility could be installed and print his labels properly. That'll do for a start. Thanks in advance.

AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is also very small, self-contained and will run on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying "runtimes" required! AutoIt was initially designed for PC "roll out" situations to reliably automate and configure thousands of PCs. Over time it has become a powerful language that supports complex expressions, user functions, loops and everything else that veteran scripters would expect. Features: * Easy to learn BASIC-like syntax * Simulate keystrokes and mouse movements * Manipulate windows and processes * Interact with all standard windows controls * Scripts can be compiled into standalone executables * Create Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) * COM support * Regular expressions * Directly call external DLL and Windows API functions * Scriptable RunAs functions * Detailed helpfile and large community-based support forums * Compatible with Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT4 / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 2008 * Unicode and x64 support * Digitally signed for peace of mind * Works with Windows Vista's User Account Control (UAC) AutoIt has been designed to be as small as possible and stand-alone with no external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executables with Aut2Exe. Also supplied is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows you to add the unique features of AutoIt to your own favourite scripting or programming languages! Best of all, AutoIt continues to be FREE - but if you want to support the time, money and effort spent on the project and web hosting then you may donate using the link to your left in the menu.

Is Casper capable of using DMA (Direct Memory Access)? If the answer is yes to either...you're part way there. All you need to do now is figure out how to connect "Beast" with your "Shuttle PC" (BTW, what is that?). If you have available USB -or- parallel ports, you should be home free. I used to have a number of commercial -and- freeware utils that could do this with aplomb, via DMA. IIRC, XTree Gold was one of these... Even DOS 6.xx had a basic util with which you could connect two PC's via parallel ports...in which the "master" operated the "slave". You could XCOPY an entire partition (making sure you had sufficient space available), using the appropriate "switches", of course.

That sounds very promising. To flesh out my question that included a reference to Casper: Casper is a superb utility that clones hard disks. I use it to backup my main drive to an external hard disk. Casper defaults to an incremental approach to backing up a drive, so my backups usually take just a few minutes...but the backup is completely bootable. Here's what I'm hoping to do: take the 20 GB Windows XP drive from my old-old workstation (named Beast because it has a 666 MHz processor) and mount it in my new Shuttle PC. I haven't tried that yet; the Shuttle has IDE controllers but Beast has the older variety I'm pretty sure and I don't know yet if I can use one of the newer IDE cables on an old (9-year-old) drive. THEN my hope is to use Casper to clone that 20 GB physical drive with all of its applications intact onto the 20 GB virtual drive I set up the other day...and VOILA! I'd have a bootable virtual drive containing all of the applications, including QuickBooks and all of my old invoices. THAT'S the nub of the matter. I'm going to check with our genius network admin regarding the possibility, too, though he's more of a fan of VMWare. I see that VMWare Workstation is NOT free, as VMWare Server is, so that's what pushed me to try MS VPC. Regarding memory-resident utilities under XP...I have already experimented using the autoexec as you mentioned with no luck. I have no frame of reference beyond those experiments; that's why I'm asking about VPC's possbilities in that arena.

Here is what the big Webster's says in defining 'epaulet' or 'epaulette': A shoulder piece; an ornamental badge worn on the shoulder by officers in the navy and army, and made of various forms and material according to the rank of the wearer. In the United States army it is worn only by general officers. Epaulets were worn in the British army until 1855, when their use was abolished, but they are still worn by all naval officers of and above the rank of lieutenant, and by some civil officers. All officers in the United States navy above the rank of ensign wear epaulets. Given that _epaulette_ is the name for the shoulder piece, I gambled that _manchette_ might be a name for a sleeve piece. Well, almost. Here is what the big Webster's says about that: Manchette - A cuff of a garment, commonly used for adornment. We're getting closer. A good tailor should be able to tell us. I went looking for trench-coats, since I recall mine has a buckled bit of fabric on each sleeve - the one I found online that looked similar referred to a "buckled cuff." Now, that isn't what I would call it, but then again, I'm not sure what to call it yet, either. I still like "manchette." Rank, of course, may be indicated by chevrons stitched onto the sleeve - I remember stitching on the fresh new chevrons earned by my marine son-in-law. It was an honor to do that little task for him. Hope I've helped you think. As we keep at it, we'll find just the word you are looking for.

I've been experimenting with Chrome for a while, since the day after it went into public beta. I like it quite a lot: 1) The on-page search (Ctrl-F) is very interesting in that it shows how many matches there are for your search phrase, and it places small gold bars in the scroll bar to show realtive to the page length, where those other occurences can be found. 2) That tear-off tab thing is very well executed. I'm not sure that it's that terrible useful, but they've sure done a nice job of it. 3) The sparse interface is also nice and so is the idea of the tabs above the address bar. 4) I like the bolding of the domain name in the address bar. It's just a nice little added touch. 5) The Most Visited page is all right, though it would be nice to remove pages from the lineup or be able to re-order them. My biggest issue is that I use Windows XP Professional x64 at home and at work. Whenever I try to open the Options dialog, Chrome crashes. Same thing when I try to Report a Bug.
