Uncle Gizmo you are right to raise this thread again. I am now retired and I think it is worthwhile relating what has happened to a couple of the applications i created. I was made redundant at the end of 2007. Well some 3 years later I was contacted to talk about some modifications. This...

I have created a fairly large project and wish to print the network diagram. I can easily print to pdf but get about 48 pages. I would like to "grab" the whole network diagram as an image (jpeg,gif etc) and then use a plotter to print the diagram as a single large sheet. Any help in this area...

Cheers spikepl Made a note of your comment. Will give it a try Error messages huh. need to know what errors you get in error messages L edit Actually got 2003, 2007 and 2010 users to consider at the moment so will stick to xls for the time being until all are upgraded. Will try you info...

Solved it Nothing at all to do with read only It appears that there is a limited range of file types that can be exported. It appears type xlsx cannot be exported but xls can Changed file extension to xls and problem went away. Error messages are not always correct in the error they detect...

Think that avoidance of a conflict is the first point to resolve. When tasked with two projects due same day I would first establish if I hada delivery problem. If there was a conflict then the time to resolve is at task designation time not when they are nearly due for completion. Ways to...

So you believe that because the bank showed a lack of financial control then its okay if everybody else does the same. If people did not go overdrawn without prior agreement then the banks "income" would be reduced anyway and the example of good financial management clearly demonstrated by Jo...

Maybe I am of the old school (well certainly old) but in days of old when we dealt in £sd if you did not have the money you could not spend it. In those days having the money meant exactly that. Coins in the pocket. (nobody had notes cos the smallest was 10bob. So today when money is largely...

Whilst yours is an accurate statement I have found that my wife believes that absolutely nothing is beyond my capabilities. Whilst she is absolutely right in her belief it can sometimes be a burden. as I am sure your are aware ;););) Len
