A major office XP 2003 (11) Beta 2 problem.

Arin

Befor I start, I would like to say microsoft legaly mailed me the huge 12 od cd beta 2 kit so this is a legal copy and not a pirated version. I've recently noticed when I type emails, eventually while typing them the program will lock up my entire computer.

MS Excel 2002 - Text Field Size Limit

ConQueso

I've got a large chunk of text in a cell, formatted to general under the numbers tab, but it won't display or print all the text, even though there is plenty of room at the bottom of the cell. The only place it shows all the text is in the dropdown fx box where you enter formulas.

Something else to chew on

PTS

I was visiting a local computer store a few days ago. They had a Sony VAIO on display, but the screensaver was on and it was password protected. Now I really wanted to check this machine out, and I already knew it had Windows XP on it.

Veritas backup exec

da209

I just inherited responsibility for a system and need some help with replacing backup media. Can anyone point me to documentation on how to get veritas to accept a brand new set of tapes and just forget about the old set? I tried importing them but it wasn't happy and now shows the drive as off line.

Be careful with the latest two security updates

PTS

I noticed a patch for IE and one for DAC, so I downloaded them and rebooted. I noticed that nothing that usually loads at startup actually did so. Not even my Antivirus. Strange indeed! So I tried to load at least one of them post boot and I get some wierd error message about the file not being there, but it was.

Was wondering if anyone is an access2000 developer here. I try to do a simple project for a user. I can get the Web Access Page working for data entry and making query is no problem. What I run into is that I don't know how to make a user interactive query, what I mean by that is instead of having say job=123-4567 ...
