I'm having the same problem getting Works Spreadsheets saved in Excel format to be opened by Pocket Excel after conversion. I wrote up the problem in another thread. My Works 8 list three Excel formats in the Save As dialog box: Excel 4 Excel 5 Excel 97-2000 Excel 4 format does not convert to the Pocket PC and you get an error message saying that format is not supported.

| Posted: 06 Sep 2005 06:21 AM PDT Hi Mary, You might try following the steps for using the CleanUp Utility prior to msconfig clean boot install. Also at the bottom of that webpage there is reference to a couple of Microsoft Knowledge base articles you might want to look at. If you have a second DVD or CD drive you might try installing from there. Ken "Mary C." <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:com... | Ken: | | Thank you.

| Works Collections: How can the Souce Location be changed for Item Posted: 03 Sep 2005 10:21 AM PDT Hi DS, Perhaps, for images Open a Works Database Create two fields, 'Image' and 'Description'. Go to List View Open Portfolio Choose the collection you wish to reference. Drag the image(s) to the 'Image field in the database. Enter a description in the Description field. Continue with as many collections and images as you wish. Add whatever fields you require to 'index' the records Go to Form Design view and resize the 'Image' field. Thereafter, use the database to search for particular images. Whilst there are currently no upgrades for recent versions of Works, they are upgrade eligible for Office 2003, if required. http://www.microsoft.com/office/editions/howtobuy/professional.mspx This is what Microsoft says regarding 'suggestions and feedback' : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/suggestions.aspx?AssetID=FX010909711033&Rating=1&T ype=0&ctt=98 HTH, -- Kevin James.

| Posted: 01 Sep 2005 01:09 PM PDT Yes the printer shows up, but if you ask to do a printer set up works reports it cant find the printer, after running the printer set up program all is fine unless you restart the pc then you're back to the same problem!, very frustrating.

| Posted: 31 Aug 2005 02:06 AM PDT Hi Raymondo, Thanks to Ken for locating Rodney's solution that utilises the report SUMMARY features of a Works database. By GROUPing entries, by the chosen concatenated (chained) fields of Last Name and Address, the report effectively COUNTs the number of instances of each unique record entry. A record GROUP with COUNT value of more than 1 is duplicated. However, care must be taken when using this method to ensure that SORTing and GROUPing is applied to the concatenated field and not the original field. For instance, if a concatenation had been fomed to identify uniqueness from using a field that contains the date of birth (STRINGed), then individual family members, occupants of the same premises would be classed as 'duplicates'. The concatenation operator in Works is the ampersand character & Therefore to concatenate two fields say, 'LastName' and 'Address', into one 'Identity' field, we could use the following formula in a field named 'Identity. =LastName & Address Of course, you may require a more specific concatenation to provide true uniqueness. A concatenation formed with FirstName, Initial, LastName & Address will generally allow individual family members to be identified, though this could not be guaranteed. Using the date of birth also would allow parents and children who share same names to be identified separately. Numbers, such as dates and times must be converted to text before they can be concatenated. For the example above, to include birthday in the concatenation, we could use: =LastName & Address&STRING(Birthday,0) HTH, -- Kevin James.
