Ken,

You phrased my question better than I did, thank you. I should have asked,
how do I move spreadsheets/templates from one computer to another and
register them correctly.

I like your suggestion ken, I'll give it a try.

Time and Formulas

Posted: 05 Oct 2005 04:46 AM PDT

Hi John,

The essential difference between the two times that you show is that they
occur on two different days! Therefore you should add 1 day to the result
from any subtraction of the two, and then the answer becomes 2 minutes.

Times alone are not fully declared values until they also possess a DATE
attribute (days past since Dec 31st 1899)

See for yourself:

In cell A1, type the TIME value 23:59

In cell B1, type the TIME value 00:01

In cell C1, type the formula = 1 + B1-C1
which gives the answer, in DAYS, of 0.0013889.

To see this as HOURS, in cell D1 place the formula = C1*24
which gives the answer, in HOURS, of 0.0333333

For MINUTES, in cell E1 place the formula = D1*60
which gives the answer, in MINUTES, of 2 ( Use ROUND, if necessary).

Or,

You could place this formula in Cell C1, to directly calculate the
difference,
in minutes, between two start and finish times ( less than 24 hours
apart ).

=((B2<A2)+(B2-A2))*24*60

The TRUTH statement (B2<A2) determines whether the times span across
two days, and adds 1 day if they do.

Use the fully delared time ( Date + Time ) to calculate difference over a
number
of days.

Again,

In A1, type a date, say 1/1/2001
In B1, type a time for that day, say 08:57

In C1, type a date. say 2/2/2002
In D1, type a time for that day, say 06:23

Now,
In E1, type the formula = A1+B1, giving 36892.373
In F1, type the formula = C1+D1, giving 37289.266

In F1, type the formula = (F1-E1)*24, giving 9525.4333
This is the number of hours and part hours separating the two instances.

=INT(G1) shows the number of whole hours that have past, 9525
=MOD(G1,1)*60 shows the MINUTES value to be aded to the whole
hours, this is given as 26 minutes.

Therefore,the difference is 9525.433 hours or 9525 hour and 26 minutes.

HTH,

Will VLookup look over it's shoulder?

Posted: 05 Oct 2005 02:21 AM PDT

G'day Kevin,
the obvious flew into my face, just after I posted.
I just added a column on LHS
with the formula "=E1"
which copies the out of order column into place

I just paste the block into cell B1 voila!

I thought having two instances of the same name
in two columns may cause conflict, but it works like a charm.

Cheers, friend.

Works 8.0 Calendar problem

I got it working!!!

Thanks for the lead, Eric. In my case, the wkcalcat.dat file was ok, but I
noticed that the CalMRU.dat file was suspiciously small at 0k. So I just
decided to delete CalMRU.dat. Then I tried to launch Calendar again, and hey
presto, everything works fine again. MSWorks automatically created a new
CalMRU.dat file of size 1k.

------------

Q: Why do the templates I created using earlier versions
of Works not show up after I upgrade?

A: You need to upgrade your existing templates.

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Programs, and then click Microsoft Works.
2. In the Works Task Launcher, click the Programs tab.
3. Click the program in which your Works templates
were created (ie: Word Processor, Spreadsheet, or
Database).
4. Click Start a Blank <program name.>
5. On the File menu, click Open.
6. Switch to the drive or folder where the template
is located and double-click the template name.
The default location for templates created in
Works 2000 is:
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\Template
The default location for templates created in
Works 4.5a or earlier is:
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\Documents.
7. On the File menu, click Save As.
8. In the Save As dialog box, click Template.
The Save As Template dialog appears.
9. Type a name for the template, and click OK.
Works 8 saves the Works Word Processor template you created in:
C:\Windows\Application Data\Template
Works 8 saves the Works Spreadsheet and Works Database template you
created in:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Works\Template

------------

Q: How do I set up Works 8 on my computer without removing
Works 2000?

A: Microsoft recommends not to run different versions of
Works on the same computer. Works 8 will automatically
remove any older versions of Works when you install Works 8.

------------

Q: Can I install individual programs from Works 8?

A: No. Due to the high level of integration offered in
Works 8, all of the standard programs (Database,
Calendar, Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Portfolio,
and Works Task Launcher) are installed together.

------------

Q: Why can't I find my files from Works 4.5 or earlier?

A: The files may be stored in a folder other than the one in
which you are looking.

In Windows XP Professional or Home Edition:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button and click on
Search.
2. Click All files and folders.
3. In the All or part of the file name box, type all or
part of the file name you are looking for.
4. Click Search
5. Double-click the file name.

In Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Millennium Edition,
or Windows 98 Second Edition:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to Find,
and then click Files or Folders.
2. In the Named box, type all or part of the file name
that you are looking for.
3. Click Find Now.
4. Double-click the file name.

NOTE: For Works 8, Works 7.0, Works 6.0 and Works 2000,
the default directory is My Documents. The default directory
for previous versions of Works is
C:\Program Files\MSWorks\Documents.

------------

Q: Do I have to convert my existing Works files after I
install Works 8?

A: No. You do not need to convert your Word Processor,
Database and Spreadsheet files created in Works 4.0 or later
to another format to open them using Works 8.

The information in your existing Works Calendar will be
automatically upgraded to Works 8.

You do not need to convert your Address Book from Works 2000
or later to use it with Works 8.

Microsoft recommends that you convert your address book
from Works 4.5a or earlier version to the new Address Book. By
moving your old address book information to the Address Book,
you can access your data not only from the Word Processor
but also from the Calendar and Outlook Express.

To convert your address book information from Works 4.5a or earlier
to the new Address Book:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Programs, then click Microsoft Works.
2. In the Works Task Launcher, click the Programs tab.
3. Click Address Book.
4. Click Address Book converter.
5. Click Start.


------------

Q: After I upgrade to Works 8, can I share files with
people using earlier versions of Works?

A: Yes.

The Works Word Processor and Spreadsheet let you
save files in the formats that earlier versions of Works support.
To save a file in an earlier Works format,
1. From within the program, click on File menu,
2. Click on Save As...
3. In the dialog that oppears, select the file format you want to save in.

This is the recommended way to save a spreadsheet
or word procesor document for use in Works 4.x/2000 formats.
Word processor documents may lose some formatting when
saving as an earlier Works format.

You can also open a Works 8 spreadsheet directly in
Works 2000, but you need to complete the Import Excel
Spreadsheet dialog. Your charts and formatting will not
be preserved.

You can directly open Database files created in Works 8
in earlier versions of Works.

------------

Q: If I remove a program from the Works Task Launcher, how
can I get it back?

A: If you removed a Works program such as the Word Processor,
Spreadsheet, Database, or Calendar, you must reinstall
Works for it to appear in the Works Task Launcher.

For Microsoft Suite programs such as Microsoft Money,
Microsoft Encarta, or Microsoft Picture It, reinstall the
Works Suite. Make sure you select the Express Full option
to automatically install all Works Suite programs.

------------

Q: While using Works, some of my toolbar buttons appear as
blank boxes at the top of the screen. How can I fix this?

A: This is a known issue with machines that have a 3D ATI
Rage Pro Video Card installed, however this problem may
occur on machines with other video cards installed as well.
To remedy this problem you must turn off the hardware
acceleration on your video card.

Follow these steps to disable your hardware acceleration
on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Millennium
Edition or Windows 2000:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to
Settings and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Display icon.
3. Click the Settings tab.
4. Click the Advanced button.
5. Click the Performance tab.
6. Next to Hardware acceleration, point to the slider
and then click and hold the mouse while you drag the
slider as far to the left as it will go. It should
appear next to None.

Follow these steps to disable your hardware acceleration
on Windows XP Home or Professional Edition:

1. On the taskbar, click the Start button, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Click Switch to Classic View on the sidebar if you're
in Category View.
3. Double-click the Display icon.
4. Click the Settings tab.
5. Click the Advanced button.
6. Click the Troubleshoot tab.
7. Next to Hardware acceleration, point to the slider
and then click and hold the mouse while you drag the
slider as far to the left as far as it will go. It
should appear next to None.

NOTE:

When you engage in other tasks that will require
hardware acceleration, such as playing games,
repeat the steps above to restore the hardware
acceleration back to Full. Failure to do so will
result in poor game display performance.

Works 8.0 Calander Error on opening

Posted: 01 Oct 2005 12:06 AM PDT

Thanks for the tip, Kevin. I downloaded the MDAC checker program from the

I got it fixed by deleting the CalMRU file in C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Works folder.

Maybe if you come across anyone else with this problem, if none of the other
standard resolutions are effective, and if their CalMRU file is 0kB, they
might try deleting it (or backing it up by moving it to a different folder)
and launch Calendar to see if that works.
