Vortex, I believe the answer is yes (I'm looking at this now.) It looks like there are programs to allow you to pull the files from the iPod onto the computer.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Hey. New board.
huh. Jon, that's odd. My guess is that some library you have referenced is overriding the Year function somehow. VBA apparently lets you overwrite functions with impunity. At least, if I write the code below:
Sub test()
MsgBox Year(Now)
End Sub
Function Year(bob() As Date)
Year = 2008
End Function
in Excel 2004 on a Mac, it gives the error "Type Mismatch: Array or User-Defined Type Expected" when I try to run test.

Hey. New board.
Extra reading has shown me (and testing has confirmed) that IF that's the problem, you can solve it by using VBA.Year instead of Year.
That is, the code below correctly returns "2008" instead of an error:
Sub test()
MsgBox VBA.Year(Now)
End Sub
Function Year(bob() As Date)
Year = 1999
End Function

oh, good. I'm not worried about the stuff on the iPod, I'm worried that the stuff on the iPod will overwrite the iTunes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Not a worry. The stuff in iTunes can wipe your 'Pod if you're not careful, but it never goes the other way.

Thanks for the info, Gris. As I said, I've got it working with DatePart, but that's something to think about the next time it happens.

Um, I'm pretty sure that I've been asked some version of "There's stuff on your iPod that's not on your computer, do want to update the computer?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think it does that in case you have stuff you bought from the iTunes store... and that's all it copies over.
It's possible I'm thinking of something else....

oh, fine, scare me then! I think I should just make sure that "manual sync" is checked, I should be fine.
