    I'm not in Portugal either, and it works fine for me. Exactly what problems are you having? Are you getting an error message?

    Setting extended property values for external files using VBA

    Hi. I'm very sorry - I didn't see that you had responded - I have been busy moving, and it isn't nearly as much fun as people would have you believe! From what I can see, it isn't Ben's alias, no. Ben uses the clever secret alias bclothier... Fafalone has his name and contact email set out in...

    Setting extended property values for external files using VBA

    Happy New Year! Well I have made some progress, and narrowing in on a solution - it'll manner of API chicanery, but my skills in this area have improved. The author of the ucShellBrowser (and of the TaskDialog class) has been active in converting his code over to be TwinBasic compatible. He has...

    Solved InputBox with Asterix

    Asterix was indeed a little cartoon character, but it was Obelix who was the fat one with the stripy trousers. :-) #justsaying

    In addition to the suggestions provided above, you may also try using a different method, like instead of: Set objHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") use Set objHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP") But the API approach set out on theDBguy's blog post should download it for you...

    How to activate a ribbon?

    Again, here, you're replying to my comment, but it's not project, and I didn't get it sorted. I believe you're thinking of someone else?

    How to activate a ribbon?

    Hi - sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Monday was... well... Monday! :-) So I tried again earlier and wasn't getting anywhere, then on a hunch, I went and changed the tab name (id, etc) from Home to (randomly) "Website". It now seems to work... I can't claim that I fully understand...

    How to activate a ribbon?

    Well, I can get it to switch between the Login and Print tabs easily enough, but for whatever reason, not to the Home Tab. I'll take a look on Monday when I'm back from the weekend.

    How to activate a ribbon?

    On the off-chance that it might be helpful to you, or to so someone else who comes across this thread: Sub ActivateTab() ActivateRibbonTab "Print" End Sub Private Function ActivateRibbonTab(ByVal TabName As String) As Boolean '...

    Ketanji Brown Jackson Nominated to the US Supreme Court

    It appears that it was a nomination to the Court of Appeal that Biden filibustered, and not to the Supreme Court (link). I would add that it is not as though Biden singlehandedly-blocked the nomination; he voted against Justice Brown's appointment along with the rest of the Democratic caucus...

    Setting extended property values for external files using VBA

    I'm very sorry - I thought I had posted an update earlier in the week. What I thought I had sent was items 2 and 3 below, but they were since overtaken with the following, far more relevant point. It's not a short note, but I thought I'd give you more detail on the off-chance it might help get...

    Open Notepad and Find/Replace

    Thank you! I saw that Eugene-LS had done it, so I followed suit. I easily succumb to peer-pressure. :-)

    Open Notepad and Find/Replace

    The following seems to strip the offending characters from the file. Does this work for you? You should only need to update the file path in the principal subroutine, CleanTextFile.

    Setting extended property values for external files using VBA

    Ah I see. Unfortunately, I don't have my personal laptop to hand (therefore, no Access) so wasn't able to check whether or not my DownloadComplete approach worked when changing the properties with your program. I can check when I get home, but I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head. The...

    Setting extended property values for external files using VBA

    I just find it really odd that MS would make the setting of these extended properties: (a) such a convoluted process (requiring an external DLL that is extremely difficult to find - for 64-bit, at least); (b) seemingly impossible (for ACCDB, at least). As for the Webbrowser settings, the best...

    Setting extended property values for external files using VBA

    I checked the properties point just now. I had originally set the Title and Keywords properties, but to double check, I also wrote to the Manager, Company and Comments properties just now. I was able to access these properties by loading the PublisherTest file you provided, and selecting the...

    Solved Timed Message Box

    You're absolutely right about vbOKOnly - Thank you for pointing that out. I should've mentioned it, but I just wanted to demonstrate what the return value would otherwise be in case it was helpful. As to StrPtr - it is necessary for MessageBoxTimeoutW, which is a unicode-enabled API. You've...
