Gris, that's what I asked him to do. He said he could check the data, but not check whether or not it would post or load the operating system. I don't understand why he couldn't have put it into another, working system to check it that way, but he said I was breaking up and he had a pretty thick accent. I'm bringing it home and will figure it out myself. I've just about got the laptop set up and I got it to recognize the backup drive for 5 minutes last night...though it's not today. I got some stuff off it, though.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was Microsoft's ADO.NET renamed to just ADO? I remember when Microsoft discovered they were just confusing people by naming everything .NET, so they removed the .NET label from some products....

Does anyone know of a way to compare two excel files the way you can do with two word docs?

brenda, I don't. if you google, there seems to be some third party options, but you might have to cut and paste the excel files in question (and/or write some formulas) to compare cells and rows.
If you provide more information, I might be able to help you suss out differences.

Thanks, le nub. I ended just copy and pasting the whole damn thing into a couple of word docs and doing it that way.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I know that it's so passe, but I'm on some yahoo groups. I get the emails and everything from multiple groups, but it doesn't recognize my email as a log on. Anybody knowledgeable about Yahoo Groups?

Possibly, Debet--I run a couple yahoogroups. You mean when you are signed in to Yahoo, and go to groups.yahoo.com, the groups don't show up in your sidebar?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It won't let me sign it. It says that the login (which is where they send me emails!) is not registered.

Do you have yahoomail? Can you sign in there, and click the stay signed in button, and from there just type in groups? And even then it kicks you out? Or do you not have yahoomail?

My Yahoo ID is not my email address. Did you try clicking on "I can't access my account"?
