So, I did it. I'm in the middle of a system restore to about two weeks ago. I don't think I'll be losing any documents I can't replace, but I will have to reinstall some software. We'll see if printing just gets broken again. And if it does work, I'll have to figure something else out to fix printing on S's machine.

HA! System restore failed to fix printing. I'm currently 10.5.2, and I could print under 10.5.2. A test print just failed.

In terms of manipulating content of Acrobat file - Scan Soft - cheaper than Acrobat (well was when I bought mine - may have changed) and can do more - import into word, make changes, print back into adobe.

Heh. And since I don't have Word, and would have to open the .doc import with Pages, I now find myself wondering just how many different file types I can convert this file to.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Excel VBA question:

Anyone have any clue why the Year function wouldn't be working for me? If I use Year(somedateserialnumber or text here), I get a compile error with the message "Expected Array". If I try to use Application.WorksheetFunction.year, it compiles but bombs and I get the error message

Run-Time error '438': Object doesn't support this property of method.

The Month function works fine, but Year doesn't. WTF?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You haven't accidentally changed your computer to European date formatting, have you?

Also, does the Year function work outside of VBA (i.e. in a cell)?

Yes, it works in a cell.

I still don't know why it's not working in VBA, but i found a workaround using the DatePart function.

Now, to figure out why Application.WorksheetFunction.Sum isn't working either...

Hey, all. What happens if I take my old iPod (which was permissioned to my old computer, which has gone to the great network in the sky) and hook it up to the new computer/iTunes? Will it wipe the info on the old iPod and upload the new iTunes?)

Um... have you tried rebooting?

I'd also go into the VBA window and check Tools/References and make sure none are broken.

When we have weird problems like this in Access, sometimes a decompile/recompile will fix things. Dunno how to do a decompile in Excel (in Access you do it with a command-line switch) but you could try copying the code in question and pasting it into a new Excel spreadsheet VBA module.
