Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

I'm not that familiar with Word mail merge, so I'll just throw this out there:

What email client are you using? I think that for this to work, Word must interface with Outlook or Outlook Express. If that's the case then one of those must be correctly set up on your computer.

"MAPI" has to do with an email connection to your email server, right?

I have tried putting in my account information in both OE and Outlook and the merge STILL doesn't work. The weird thing is that I can email individually from Word, but not do a merge. I don't get that.

Your tag here.

I am trying, on a PC, to do an email merge of a word document.

Found this [link] maybe there's something in there that will help you.

From the link:

If you're creating merged e-mail messages, Word sends the messages immediately after you complete the merge. Therefore, after you choose which messages you want to send, you are prompted to indicate the column in your data file where Word can find e-mail addresses for the recipients. You also are prompted to type a subject line for the message.

Thrive to spite them

I think my Nano died.

This morning it had a full charge and I played it at lunch, and then afterwards stuck it in my pocket and forgot to put it in my purse. When I was walking to the car I pulled it out and it wouldn't turn on so I figured I'd accidentally left it on and ran down the charge. But I plugged it in to recharge and it's still off and not responding.

I got it last year for Christmas. Could it just die or will it recharge and I just need to be patient?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It could need a reset -- maybe its OS has crashed and so it won't turn on again enough to recharge? I've had to reset my mini a couple of times, and each time I've had to go to the Apple support pages in order to recall how you reset it (it's holding down a couple of the clicker-buttons, and I can never remember which). Worth a try!

Thrive to spite them

I checked through the all the R options but not only will the Nano not come on but when it's plugged to the computer it doesn't show up on the iTunes source list so I can't restore.

I've drained the battery before and when I plugged it in iTunes recognized it and the Nano turned on.

I've been looking on the Apple website and it looks like maybe it is the battery.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I\'ve got a php file in which I want to comment out a block of code. The code is a mix of php and html with lots of to-and-fro between the two. Is there an easy way to comment out the block?

Gawd, I'm so rusty at php...

If you start a block comment in some php and end it in some other php, will the server just ignore everything in between? Or will it still send the html to the client?

That\'s the problem -- it still sends the html to the client.

Then I think you'd have to comment out the php and html separately. I've had to do that with ASP.
