How to have two ethernet cards.

Posted: 10 Dec 2005 02:20 AM PST

On 10 Dec 2005 02:49:31 -0800, Masood Ahmed Cried: Read These Runes!: 

If both cards are on the same machine they need the same address or one
needs no address; e.g., if one is PPPoE it will be assigned an address by
the ppp server. In the case of one being a LAN connection (192.168.1.1) and
the other being INET getting IP address via DHCP it may have both
192.168.1.1 and the IP assigned via DHCP.

You can tell the kernel make *config Y instead of M when compiling to have
the modules included in the kernel image.

dd if=/dev/hda9 of=/nameofoutputfile conv=noerror conv=sync

noerror keeps going if it encounters read errors and sync fills in any bad
blocks with zeroes so things don't get all jumbled.

Installation is getting really easier now a days, just to be on safe

As far i'm concerned there's no need for virus protection for linux,
but there are some. check out http://www.clamav.net/ I havent tried it.
If anyone has then keep me informed. Also there's plenty of commrcial
anti virus but i wouldnt recommend them unless you're running some mail
server (which i guess you're not). Google it.

I'd love to see many people try the Linux From Scratch
(www.linuxfromscratch.org). It's fun and definately improves our Linux
and system knowledge. The instructions are detailed and even newbies
can follow it.

Yes I do agree, however the lack of a virtual file does not necessarily mean
anything other then no information is available from the kernel, you might
need to build your own custom kernel for this information to be available.

From man smbmount:

debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this

The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only crit-
ical errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a
reasonable level for day-to-day running - it generates a small
amount of information about operations carried out.

Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data,
and should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels
above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate
HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.

Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log

Have you tried the "Analyze timescaled data in excel" add-in that comes with
Project? It should export what you need to excel and you can then chart
away.

If you want something simpler you can write some VBA code. The following
requires that you have resources assigned to each task and that the resource
has a cost associated with it. If you do not have a resource loaded
schedule, you can simply make a dummy resource with a cost of 1 and assign
it to all tasks. Then baseline the project and run this macro. It exports
into a .csv file that can be opened with excel



MyFile = "c:\" & "HardwareBreakout" & ActiveProject.Name & "_" & Date$ &
".csv"
fnum = FreeFile()
Open MyFile For Output As fnum
mystring = ActiveProject.Name & " " & ActiveProject.LastSaveDate & " " &
Application.UserName
Write #fnum, mystring 'write project info
Write #fnum, ' Write blank line.
jPeriod = 7 'select time reporting period 1 = 1 day, 7 = 1 week
jStart = ActiveProject.ProjectSummaryTask.Start
jEnd = ActiveProject.ProjectSummaryTask.Finish
jStatus = jStart
myBCWS = 0
myACWP = 0

Do While jStatus <= jEnd + jPeriod
ActiveProject.StatusDate = jStatus
'CalculateProject
myBCWS = 0
myACWP = 0
For Each myTask In ActiveProject.Tasks
If (Not myTask Is Nothing) And (Not myTask.summary) Then
myBCWS = myBCWS + myTask.BCWS
myACWP = myACWP + myTask.ACWP
End If
Next myTask
mystring = jStatus & ", " & myBCWS & ", " & myACWP
Write #fnum, mystring 'write project info
jStatus = jStatus + jPeriod
Loop
Close #fnum
End Sub

Variance Formula incorporating multiple baselines needed

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 01:45 PM PST

Hi CJ,
I suggest you check for no baseline first using >50000 for Baseline NA and I
think you could simplify the logic by doing that. Also, I use current date
(reporting date) as the compare date. Also, why check for baseline start and
baseline finish. Just one or the other. I check for an active baseline finish
and compare . Whilst I am not checking for multi baselines perhaps use the
following as a guide.(where 0 = no basline, 1 = black (completed), 2 = green,
3= yellow, 4 = Red):
IIf([Baseline Finish]>50000,0,IIf([Baseline Finish]<=([Current Date]-7) And
[% Complete]<100,4,IIf([Baseline Finish]<=[Current Date] And [%
Complete]<100,3,IIf([Baseline Finish]>=[Current Date] And [%
Complete]<100,2,1))))

Good luck with it...............Pratta

Changing Work and Duration Based on Resource Utilization

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 01:25 PM PST

Hi John
I think you have to decide whether it is a fixed duration, fixed work or
fixed units task.
I tend to plan in duration so set all tasks by default to fixed duration;
and control in work (after I baseline). I don't like fixed units. But you
sound like you want the resource units to remain at 80%, so set the task to
fixed units, and it won't change on you. Its a personal preference thing.
You now are the keeper of the units. If you add the resource at 80% and set
to Fixed Units the first time you add the resource, duration must now alter
(increase) and does to 6.25 days. If you dont like that then reduce the
duration to 5 days and work will decrease to 32 hrs. W=D*U, and something
has to give and it sounds like you don't want it to be the resource.

Regards.............Pratta

Task completes before due date

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 12:05 PM PST

Hi KT
Dales sugegstion is excellent. I am going to try that. I was just going to
add that to ensure you show all tasks when you baseline to ensure baseline
and EV data is recorded at the task level, and that cost data is recorded
against each resource.
Also, when rebaselining, tick to rollup to summary boxes.
Of course, you must also key time accurately at the task level and use a
timesheet tool or the Task Usage view to record time.

Realistic Project Resourcing

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 07:37 AM PST

Hi,

When the earliest start date of this additional work allows for it leveling
WILL detect it and schedule it through the dips.
Of course if you have scheduled this addi work to be later (be it by a
constraint or by a dependency) leveling will not make it happen earlier.
When you say we cannot majke the roof before the walls, the fact that the
roofmakers are available does not make any change does it?

Moving large amount of data

Posted: 24 Mar 2005 07:29 AM PST

You get best answers in an Excel newsgroup, but the quick answer is to
select the data, do Edit Copy, then Edit Paste Special, Transpose. But
rmemeber, there are only 256 columns so if you're transposing rows into
columns and columns into rows, you can only have a maximum of 255 rows in
your source data before you run out of room in the target range.

Creating resource pool from multiple project plans

Posted: 23 Mar 2005 05:07 PM PST

Hi Baba
Create the new resource file and share it with the required files files. It
should have no tasks, only resources.
Tools, Share Resources and set to "pool takes precedence" and ensure the
drop down includes the files you intended.
Also ensure that the old files are still not connected by checking both the
respool and the old files i nTools Resoures/Resource Sharing
All calendar setting should be done within this respool file.
This should work fine for what you are doing. I woud password protect the
Respool file, to preclude schedule owners from adding resources themselves.
This should stop most of the problems Mike was mentioning from occurring. The
respool needs to be managed centrally. I also set all calendars in the
respool file. On most occasions there is no need to open the respool file for
update when editing the schedules. This shoud be done weekly by the PM or
administrator.
Regards......Pratta

Why Changing the hours per day in one calendar affects all others?

Posted: 23 Mar 2005 11:01 AM PST

The "hours per day" "hours per week" and "days per month" fields on the
calendar options page does NOT change any of the calendars. I know that
sounds like I'm crazy but none the less it's true. Those settings are
conversion factors used strictly for convenience when you enter or Project
displays durations, to allow you to work with data in your plan without
having to mentally convert everything to hours. Project stores all its data
in minutes. If you enter a task and set its duration to 3 days, Project has
to know how many working hours "3 days" actually stands for. Do you work 8
hours a day so it means 24 working hours or do you work 7 hours a day so it
means 21 working hours? The "hours per day" field on the calendar options
page does exactly that - it tells Project *how many* hours out of the
24-hour day should considered the standard length of the working time. The
calendar, accessed through the Tools menu, tells Project *which* of the
minutes in the day are working time. The "hours per day" should agree with
your Project calendar but setting hours per day DOES NOT change any of the
calendars themselves. Also, hours per day is a global setting so you might
have other calendars with differing numbers of work hours.

Label error word 2013

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 01:25 PM PST

Hello,

Recently I have ran into this problem with Word 2013. When clicking the label button at the top it pauses and kicks out the error

"There is a problem with the label information you are trying to use.  You may be able to correct the problem by repairing office or reinstalling the label information"

This is happening on a HP elitepad 900 running windows 8. All windows updates have been installed with the exception of 8.1.

I have tried the pagefile fix that works for 2010.

I have repaired it (several times)

I have uninstalled it, ran the uninstall tool and rebooted it in between each step.

I made sure it is running service pack one

Additionally, the install is from the click to run, I don't know if that matters or not. I have done some searching and all the fixes I have found so far apply to 2010 and older.

I have spent a lot of hours on this one, and well it's driving me nuts. lol

Thanks in advance,

Justin G.

Can I restrict editing to filling in forms, but still allow a macro to be run?

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 10:51 AM PST

I have several .dot templates from Word 2003 that contain a macro that the user may optionally run. The purpose of the macro is to prompt the user for some information, which invokes a database lookup, which then populates certain fields on the form. It is imperative that users are restricted to filling in form fields only; however, I noticed in Word 2010 when I create a document from this template, the Alt-F8 keyboard shortcut to invoke the macros dialog is unresponsive unless I unprotect the document. Also -- I tried to Save As the .dot to a .dotm to see if that helped, but it did not.

Can I not have it both ways in Word 2010 -- that is, limit to filling in fields, but allowing the macro to run?

Note this functionality worked in Word 2003 (and I believe even in Word 2007).

World 2010 crashes after installing grid32.ocx

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 08:20 AM PST

I have an old program that requires grid32.ocx to work at all. Now I have a fairly regular problem with Word crashing. Here are the steps I take that crash Word.

Open MS Word 2010

Open other program that requires grid32.ocx

In Word, highlight a line, copy with ctrl + c.

When I do this Word crashes, and restarts nicely, and my other program remains unaffected. This happens about once a day. What can I do to stop this crash? Is there a fix for windows, or word to prevent this? Or is there a way to register grid32.ocx for just one program?

I'm running Vista x64 up to date. And Office 2010.

Fixing Microsoft Office Starter 2010 English

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 07:05 AM PST

Someone sent me a word document that would not open.  I went into programs and did a repair of Microsoft Office 2010 Starter English, and the document opened.  I did not check the box in the repair window.  This morning I attempted to open a document I needed from my files and a box popped up telling me that Microsoft Office 2010 Starter was installed on my computer but did I want to now purchase Office 2010. Clicked out of that.  Did another repair on the starter but document still would not open.  Then I noticed that Office starter had disappeared from my programs list at the start up menu.  So I went into the control panel and saw that it said Microsoft Office 2010 which I thought was the full program which I do not have, so I uninstalled that thinking that it might be somehow interfering with the starter program.  I then Googled info for a way to uninstall and reinstall the starter program and found a note that said "Do not uninstalll Microsoft Office 2010 which is also Office Manager and is apparently needed to uninstall and reinstall the starter program. Now when I try to open documents sometimes PSE (Picasa) pops up but of course they won't open with that.  I also get a message that Windows can't open the file and which program do I want to use to open it.

If I go back to the control panel and into programs for a repair to the starter program, I get a message that says Click-2-Run configuration failure.  If I highlight Click-2-run there is no option to repair it, only to uninstall.  I also get a message that Click-2-Run is updating in the background and an option to pause it which I did not do.

In summary:  I uninstalled Microsoft Office 2010 and apparently need it back.  Office Starter will not work and even though it's listed in programs in the control panel, it is no longer listed in the programs at the start up menu. 

I went into help and looked at recovery options but was not sure which one to choose so I decided to come here for help first.  I hope you can help me out.

Custom ribbon disappears

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 06:46 AM PST

I am using Word 2010 on Windows 7.  I have created a custom tab for the Ribbon so I have my frequently used commands in one place.  Periodically, however, this tab will disappear.  Fortunately, I have saved my custom settings and am able to import the customization file so I do not have to recreate the tab on the Ribbon, but I would like to know if anyone may have an answer as to why this happens.

Thanks.

Creating a Word document from multiple Word or text files (Word 2010)

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 04:13 AM PST

Hi,

Where I work people need to create agreements and contracts. These don't tend to change a great deal, so invariably they will go back to old agreements and contracts and copy and paste clauses into new agreements and contracts.

We can create a slightly more elegant solution by using quick parts and autotext, but that's not much good when dealing with a large library of pre-determined text, many of which may only consist of a few lines. They can also only insert autotext or quick parts one at a time.

People can also use the Insert - Object - Text From File option, which also means they can search for clauses (great!). It also means they can select multiple files by pressing Ctrl or Shift to block select text, but I can't seem to choose which order the text gets inserted. If we can choose the order it would be a big help.

Of course there may be other funky ways of achieving the same thing. In essence the requirement is:

- Select multiple Word or text files

- Insert them in the order the user wants

Maybe there's a Word add-in or third party product that enables this?

WORD TABLE HYPERLINK C0RRUPTING ON UPDATING

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 03:23 AM PST

Sequence

  1. Created a cross reference to a table in Word
  2. Deleated the previous table to the cross referenced one
  3. Updated documented using 'F9'
  4. Issue: Hyperlink dreated in step 1 replaced with the actual Table!!!!
  5. Replaced table by ee inserting the cross reference to the table, All OK again

This happened on a 200 page + document requiring over 60 re-insertions.

Surely this is a code bug.

Thanks Tom

Can't create PDF

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 01:01 AM PST

Can't create PDF       
                Can't create PDF      

I am trying to convert a document to a PDF, using Vista SP2 and Word 2007. I can't find any way to do this by printing or exporting, so it has to be save as. When I try this, I get aessage saying

This file is in use by another application or user

Help explains that there may be a read lock on it. I am the only user and no other application was open.

I opened the file properties box and found it had been blocked. I pressed the Unblock button and tried again - same result. I also tried saving under a different name and copying the material into a new Word document, but got the same result on both occasions. I also tried to make a PDF from other Word documents, and the same occurred there.

I also have a laptop, and I find that will convert the same documents to PDF with great ease.

Headings for Table of Contents in Word 2013

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 08:30 PM PST

I need for format a document according to American Psychology Association 6th ed. guidelines which stipulate specific formatting for headings and the following paragraph text, which I am finding are not compatible with Word! Below is a sample of the requirements:

1 Level 1 Heading

Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna. Nunc viverra imperdiet enim.

1.1 Level 2 Heading

Fusce est. Vivamus a tellus. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames acturpis egestas.Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna. Nunc viverra imperdiet enim.

1.1.1 Level 3 Heading. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna. Nunc viverra imperdiet enim.

The Levels 1 & 2 Headings work fine for a Table of Contents; however, the Level 3 heading brought in all the text underneath it as well! I reformatted the text to the text Style of the document, and that worked for the TOC, but it takes on the bold format from the heading, and the only way I can see to do is it to 'unbold' it manually, which is going to take me quite a lot of time.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Thank you.

Printing - Booklet Finishing page grayed out

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 08:00 PM PST

I am trying to print a folded booklet with staples in the middle (ie: where the fold is).

When I go "FILE" - "PRINT" - "PRINTER PROPERTIES" - "SELECT FINISHING - BOOKLET CREATION" the "BOOKLET FINISHING - Booklet fold and staple" option is grayed out and will not let me select it.

My printer does allow me to print documents with staples at the top, bottom etc.

I believe I have followed all the instructions required to create a booklet.

I have set the MARGINS section, with 'Multiple pages: Book fold" and "Sheets per booklet: All".

I have selected LANDSCAPE.

Any suggestions? Thanks Aveda.

Complex Mail Merge, bring in a differing number of fully formatted pages into a master document based on a flag inthe datasource.

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 07:40 PM PST

Hi 

First post here so hopefully I give you enough of an explanation.  

CURRENT SITUATION

I am in the process of trying to automate a manual end of year performance report to our customers.  The mail merge letter contains upto 5 seperate sections. (Covering letter, and then 4 seperate detail sections).  Each of the sections can be upto 3 pages and consists of formatted text and tables that are populated from the main datasource.  Depending on the flags in the main datasource a recipient can recieve any combination of the 5 sections.  The main datasource is populated from a single excel table.   In the past I have created upto 7 seperate Mail Merge templates, each with the appropriate combination of sections, and then run the different mailmerges.  When these are then "merged" and printed I use a macro to send each dcoument to the printer sperately so that I can get them stapled and colour inserts added.   

PROCESS ISSUE I AM TRYING TO RESOLVE

It becomes problematic when we make changes to wording and layouts and I need to update the same thing on upto 7 diferent documents.    In an ideal world this would be simple as I would create a master document and then when the layout is finalised, do my File Save As, and delete the irrelevant sections and filter the data source accordingly.  But history tells me we will always be making last minute changes.   We also have a number of customers that have a Parent Child relationship with accounts and we only want to send them the covering letter once, but they still need to see all of the individual deatiled sections for the "child" accounts

MY PROPOSED SOLUTION

This year I was thinking there had to be a bettwer way.  I have been researching this and thought I had found the solution using IF and IncludeText mergefields.    My problem is that I seem to lose the formatting, and page breaking in the new merged document.   Below is the code I am using for bring in  a particular section. a particular section.

{IF MERGEFIELD  Annual_Summary_NW_PS \*MERGEFORMAT} ="y" " {INCLUDETEXT  "V:\\Murray\\Feb2014_Eoy\\2014 Mail Merge Data\\1_CEO_Summary.docx" \* MERGEFORMAT} ""}

I also tried to use a Master Document view with Outlining, but could not find how to turn on or off the approriate sections.

MY QUESTIONS

  • My question is basically is there a better way........
  • Am I on the right track
  • My only thought was that I maybe bringing in too much of a document, and should I break it into smaller chunks. 
  • How do I handle the parent child realtionship, or does it soley rely on the flagging and sorting in the datasource
  • Do I have to resort to VBA to cycle through the datasource and create the merged documents on the fly instead of using the Mailmerge Functionailty.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments on this approach

Kind regards

Murray

Change printer number of copies setting

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 06:28 PM PST

I know that one can use code like:

    With oApp.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint)
        .NumCopies = lQty
        .Display
    End With

but it brings up a dialog, which I do not want and removing the .Display breaks the code.

Is there a way, using VBA, to set up the no of copies without poping up a dialog to the user.  I simply want to set the default value, but they will decide when to open the print dialog since they first need to review the document in question.

Create a linked table of contents for documents in a zip file?

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 06:25 PM PST

This may not be possible but I wondered if anyone would have ideas. I am creating an encrypted zip file with multiple documents. There are several Word documents, several PDFs, and a few Excel documents. Is there any way to create a master document that would hyperlink to the other documents even when the file is unzipped? I am needing a way for a user to view a single document which gives a brief description of the other documents and provides a hyperlink that will open the applicable document. Can anyone provide any guidance? Thanks. (Side note: I looked for a more generic spot to post than one specific to Word but this was the closest I found. I will be glad to move this to a better spot if directed.)

Print to pdf from word mail merge document

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 02:31 PM PST

Following the mail merge of a word and excel document, I typically print to pdf to avoid the step of creating individual word documents, but now the it's stacking all the letters from the merge fields on top of one another and saving as such in the pdf. The body of the document is normal, but all the merge fields stack. When I close out and reopen the original word document, it too shows the fields stacked. What's going on?

Writes to STM file killing performance

Posted: 06 Apr 2006 05:56 PM PDT

=No other symptoms
=Nothing in the Application log
=We used a utility called Filmon that captures all disk i/o activity ... we
did create a new mailbox store (we have enterprise version) and moved one of
the MAC users mailbox to it. When they connect, the activity of creating the
stm file for the first time starts and that is expected what is not expected
is that that task seems to consume almost the entire server - the mailbox is
1.2 GB - and when it finishes the next time the user connects it starts all
over again!!!
= we have sp2 installed

Hi - you have posted this message twice in this group, and also at least
once once in another group (I replied to that one). To make this experience
easier for everyone (including you) in the future, please don't "multipost."
If you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to *crosspost* instead, by
posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups (separate the group
names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread.

This will also be a lot easier if you stop using the web interface to the
groups and start using a newsreader such as Outlook Express, Forte Agent,
etc. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything that way, including
searching, which is always a good idea to do before you post, as well as
mark messages to be watched, and filter based on replies to your posts.

The Microsoft public news server is news.microsoft.com and you can subscribe

Dear Nicolas,

in order to add these non-AD External Address to your GAL, the best way
which based on Best Practices is to add them as contacts under one OU , lets
say External Email OU under Active Directory and then create an Address Book
View under All Address List from Exchange System Manager Console.

you can find more information under microsoft site on how to create address
book views under Exchange System Manager, i advice you to download the
Deployment and Administration Guide of Exchange Server 2003 and have a look
on them, the will help you alot.

i hope i answered your question and i could provide a useful information to
you.

please let me know if the information was useful or you need more help on
this issue.

There are too many domains that this affects for it to be the destinations
