    Are there gremlins in my computer?

    I know I am kicking this thing to death, but the other day my wife told me that she and our daughter-in-law were talking about something person to person in the same room, although her phone was on. Then she went on Facebook (yes the evil one)later on and lo and behold an ad came up for what...

    Check if Outlook is open, if not then open

    For what it is worth, I had a lot of trouble with this too and finally found this that works for me. It is a module that tests for Outlook being open. If not then Outlook is opened. Sub TestOutlookIsOpen() Dim A, B, C, D As String A = "Outlook Is Not Open, Outlook Will Now Open." B =...

    Solved Working with time entry...

    I do not know if this will be of any help, but I used this for inputting telephone numbers (10 digit numbers) so that regardless of what the user entered, the correct format would be shown. I put in an unbound text box where the user could enter the ten digits in any format that I could think...

    Solved Expression Builder for address on Report

    I ave used this for years and it works great. No spaces if anything is missing. You can adapt it to your particular application. With the proper carriage return codes, of course. =([Title]) & (" "+[FirstName]) & (" "+[MiddleName]) & (" "+[Surname]) & (" "+[NameSuffix])

    Solved Copy and paste telephone numbers.

    So, finally I came up with what I think is a decent solution. I set up the unbound text box to be visible if there is no telephone number listed. Then I paste the telephone number in any format into it and use Double Click event to populate the telephone control. First I used an extended...

    Solved Copy and paste telephone numbers.

    My way seems to work except, always the except, if you paste 8005551212 and double click it enters 805551212 and not the input mask format. Likewise for 800.555.1212, gets pasted as 800.555.1212. Most other formats work fine. Going to have to figure out how to get these odd formats into the...

    Solved Copy and paste telephone numbers.

    Yes, I now understand. I fixed it in my usual half ass way. Put in an unbound text box (like a note pad) only visible if nothing in the Telephone control, paste the number to the unbound text box and then on double click it enters into the Telephone control and the unbound text box disappears.

    Solved Copy and paste telephone numbers.

    Pasting into the notepad works fine. It just doesn't go into the text field. It will if I paste it to an unbound text box and then use code to update the Telephone text box.

    Solved Set Cursor at Beginning of Text Box

    Thank you. I hadn't tried the on click event. Of course it works fine. Just wondering why it wouldn't work on the OnFocus on OnMouseDown.

    Solved Set Cursor at Beginning of Text Box

    This has been driving me crazy for the last hour. Should be simple but it just doesn’t want to do what I want it to do. Set the cursor at the beginning of the text box if the box is void of any data. I have tried the following but nothing seems to provide me with the required results. It is a...

    Make Directory Problem

    I am trying to figure out why the first code seems to work and the second doesn’t. I am trying to create a folder on Dropbox using VBA so that I don’t need to know the user (or computer) name to do it. Dim myPath As String Dim myFolder As String myFolder = myPath & "AAAAA" myPath =...

    Error Importing Data From Excel

    Thanks, but I know why this is happening. I wanted to know is there is an error code so I could use error handling so that I could use a message box pop up to warn the user that the import didn't work and to contact their supervisor. The warning that Microsoft uses is fine, but users are...
