Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I can't think how to phrase this question to google an answer. Suggestions for that (or actual answers) would be fervently appreciated.
I have a large data file and have done calculations with a small number of the records (the calculations are so unwieldy I can only have about forty records in the calculation file).
I can copy the next 40 records in to the calculation file and save as file 2, but doing that thirty times by hand seems excessive. Is there a way to automate this? I do have experience programming in VBA.
Thanks for any and all help!
this sounds like the job of an excel macro.

And I could do it that way if it was within a workbook, but I don't know what commands to use to work with multiple workbooks.
oh dear! I'm sorry. I can't provide you any helpful suggestions. No way to condense into 1 workbook?
How long should a laptop battery let you work, in general?
I inherited a ThinkPad from my dad. He never used the battery - -always plugged it in while using it.
I charged the thing by having it plugged in, which I was told was the way to do it, and turned it on a minute ago. The battery died in under five minutes.
Laptop newbie, here. Is this a problem with the battery itself, maybe? Or am I doing something wrong (which is what I suspect)?
My laptop got to the point that it was doing that. Just long enough to transport it from plugged-in-in-the-dining-room to plugged-in-in-the-bedroom.
I needed a new battery.
Amy, that's what's going on with Thinkpad too. I think it allows me to work for 10-20 minutes.
I think it is a bad battery. There may be instructions on how to "reset" the battery.
And I could do it that way if it was within a workbook, but I don't know what commands to use to work with multiple workbooks.
You can open and manipulate workbooks from a macro within another workbook.
I've decided to learn more about this new-fangled way of laying out web pages. Folks call it CSS.
Seriously, I've used CSS to format objects, but never to place them. I'm trying to learn how to do the latter, and I've got two questions. Both refer to the page here: [link]
- Why the f*** doesn't the theremin image appear in Firefox 1.5 WinXP. It shows up in IE.
- Is there a way to position everything relative to the margins of the big white box? I'm looking to do absolute positioning, but relative to the box rather than the page.
