How to Prevent the Works Portfolio from Starting Automatically in

Hi Mike,

Apparently the option has been removed with version 8.0.

Oh! if I had known that, I would have put on me footy shorts and getters,
put some puss in the chully bun,
cooked some pooha, and had a party.

Oooooooo. I don't like what's going on lately on your political scene.
Seems the whole planet is going nuts.

Note on Hurricane Rita

Posted: 23 Sep 2005 06:46 AM PDT

If mankind is causing global warming because of greenhouse
gas emissions why is Mars also getting hotter and the other
solar system planets?

Also, water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas on Earth and
the levels of CO2 and other gases are tiny and do not change
enough to account for the level of warming.

Check out the Sun's weather and you'll find that this is a
cycle man can't control.

Password protect Works spreadsheet

Posted: 22 Sep 2005 03:55 PM PDT

You can password protect the file from
opening, by using "Winzip", or similar.
Zip up the file/files and password protect.

Be sure to keep the password handy, using alpha numeric,
I keep mine written inside my printer case.

Thanks Kevin,
(getting old is lots of fun :)

round works fine for my requirements




| Integer truncates numbers and thereby ROUNDs DOWN.

|
| ROUND to 0 decimal places will do as required here,

| the decimal part value of less then 0.5
|
| = ROUND ( aValue, 0 )
|
|
| One way to always have ROUNDing UP
| = =INT(Field1)+(INT(Field1)<Field1)
|
| Another, less accurate way, is
|
| =ROUND( aValue+0.49999 ,0)
| (add more 9's to enhance accuracy)

restore a deleted wordpad doc

Posted: 19 Sep 2005 08:28 PM PDT

Clicked send before finishing message.

Like I said before, my WordPad always ask to "Save changes to Document?" if
I exit without saving.

Can you duplicate why your system didn't?

What can happen with XP is that it captures the screen and pastes it into

Corrupted Databases, Data exists but can't be accessed.

Posted: 14 Sep 2005 12:36 AM PDT

Actually, all the data in a wdb (like field formulas) is binary, so all you
can get from an ascii copy is records data.
Fixing the field names and regaining the formulas is what I need; especially
as I spent a lot of time designing the form (Colors, sizes, position, etc.)

Usually, especially when designing a db, I make one of the records a
"formula text" going to each field with a formula, and override the entry
with a " prefix ("formulas), which would have preseved formulas for an ascii
or txt view.

Another trick I use is to save as a dbf 4, which preserves all the field
names (but nothing else useful).

Thanks. I guess I just have to eat this one.
=======================
Rename file from *.wdb to *.txt. You should be able to open it with Works WP
and get the ascii information at least.
