Installing Office 2007 Home & Student on a 2nd PC

Posted: 26 Nov 2007 02:04 PM PST

Where did you get this version of Home and Student (retail store or with a
computer)? If it is a retail version it should install onto three different
computers. Look at the packaging (back near the bottom of the unusual
shaped, difficult to open, until you learn the tricks, case) that the CD
came in and it will tell you how many computers it will install in. Also
the 3 install version has part number X12-09054-01 as one of the last lines
on the back of the package.

My first though after seeing the new "Fluent" interface in office 2007
is how i can turn it of. Af which point did drop-down menus become
unfasionable? Why do i need to the the options all the time? It takes
up valuable screen real-estate, especially on a wide-screen laptop
display. Please tell me there is a way to get office 2007 back to
"classic" mode.>>

Office 2007 Setup Successful - but Office won't run

Posted: 26 Nov 2007 05:56 AM PST

Hi Ian,

** collect information**

1. collect the Event Log with the steps below:
---------------------
a. Click "Start", click "Run", input "eventvwr" (without quotation marks) and press Enter.
b. Right click on "Application" on the left frame, choose "Save Log file As", navigate to the Desktop, input "app" in the "File name" blank,
and then click save.
c. Right click on "System", with the same method, save it as "sys".
d. Locate the two saved log files on the Desktop and send them to me at com.

2. Send the Office 2007 setup log file to me at com for further research.
------------------------------
a. Click Start menu-> Run, type "%Temp%" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box and press Enter.
b. Find the file "Microsoft Office 2007 SetupExe(****).log" in the folder. **** means the number.
c. Send this file as an attachment to me.

** Suggestion **

Based on my experience, this issue is mostly caused that there is problem with the Office 2007 registration/activation on the computer.
Follow the steps below to see if it works.

Step 1: Install the latest version of Windows Installer
===============
Download and install the latest version of the Windows Installer (Instmsiw.exe) from the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=889482FC-5F56-4A38-B838-DE776FD4138C&displaylang=en

Step 2: Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs to uninstall Office 2007

Step 3: Come into Windows Clean Boot Mode to reinstall Office 2007
=================================
It will disable all third party software from loading at startup so that we can narrow down if the issue is related to the third party
software.

1. Click Start menu-> Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box and press Enter.
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup; click to clear the "Process System.ini File", "Process WIn.ini File", "Load System
Services" and "Load Startup Items" check boxes. You cannot clear the "Use Original Boot.ini" radio button.
Note: You can click the Normal Startup radio button to return to the normal Windows Startup after the test.

3. Click the "Services" tab. Check "Hide all microsoft services", click disable all. If the "disable all" is not available, please just skip it.
4. Click the "Startup" tab, click "disable all". If the "disable all" is not available, please just skip it.

5. Click OK.
6. Restart the computer. Install Office 2007.

Try to run Word 2007 again. What is the result?

In case that the issue persists, go to the folder C:\Doents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\, delete
the file Opa12.dat. Restart Office 2007. What is the result?

With regard outlook I would suggest creating a new profile.

There are a number of MS kb articles regarding this err.msg, they all point
to the msg in 2007 and business contact manager.
Presumably the uninstall of Office 2007 removed the Office12 folder?
You might try this:
1.As an administrator, start each 2003 Office program in which the err is
received. To do this, follow these steps: a. In Windows Explorer, locate
the executable (.exe) file for the 2003 Office program.
b. Right-click the .exe file, and then click Run as administrator.
c. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click
Continue.
2.Click OK when you receive the error message.

Office 2007 Pro Crashing Problems

Posted: 21 Nov 2007 12:51 PM PST

Thanks, G n' O. I'm running Acrobat 8.1.1, but it too has some problems with
pdfmaker files. the ms support website is, once again, useless for
non-programmers and also fails to deal with office 2007 issues. The point is
that these problems are all new to the upgraded MS Office. Neither Acrobat
nor MathType caused any problems in the Office 2003 versions. Additionally,
MS Office 2007 seems to be loaded with a host of other problems. So, despite
all the legal disclaimers ("weasel words"), Microsoft has seriously fallen
down with this new release.

The difficulty is when I reboot: I start getting errors about not

hwclock problem with leapseconds - posix?

Posted: 01 Jan 2008 10:52 AM PST

<de> wrote: 

 

Yes, hwclock --utc --hctosys is ok but hwclock ---utc -systohc is broken.

hwclock --utc --hctosys runs this code in hwclock.c (note: --utc sets
variable universal):

/* We use the C library function mktime(), but since it only works on
local time zone input, we may have to fake it out by temporarily
changing the local time zone to UTC.
*/
zone = getenv("TZ"); /* remember original time zone */
if (universal) {
/* Set timezone to UTC */
setenv("TZ", "", TRUE);
/* Note: tzset() gets called implicitly by the time code, but only the
first time. When changing the environment variable, better call
tzset() explicitly.
*/
tzset();
}

But hwclock ---utc -systohc does not have the same code. It does this
instead:

if (universal)
new_broken_time = *gmtime(&newtime);
else
new_broken_time = *localtime(&newtime);

gmtime() does not use the timezone files at all but just thinks the system
time is counted at utc. Change the four lines above to something similar to
the --hctosys case and it should work ok. So even when using UTC, the
timezone files will be consulted.

Try the patch that follows... (There are also additional sleeps for about
half a second to fix resetting RTC. Without them a 'hwclock --systohc;
hwclock --hctosys' sequence causes an error of about 0.5 s in system time.
The question is whether the RTC time is really set to an exact second or an
exact half second when it is set.)

That, as it turns out, is the correct fix. The *boot* volume (/boot in
your /etc/fstab) is where the kernel resides, but the *root* is the root
of the entire directory tree. Of course /etc/init doesn't exist on
/dev/hdc7, which is what linux was trying to look for with root=/dev/hdc7.

You might also see

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20 root=/dev/ram real_root=/dev/hdc12 ramdisk_size=12000
initrd /initramfs-2.4.20

or some such in your instructions. In this case root=
is referring to a ramdisk, which has scripts to pick up
the real root later. The distinctions are a bit subtle.

Won't run mind you.

But not all compiled programs are there to run on any given set of
hardware and OS.


 

Actually for practical application purposes they are.

with the sole exception of when you are bootstrapping a kernel, when you
are expecting to compile any libraries, and they are associated with the
source files of such.

Headers go with source files or with precompiled source files that are
not yet linked = libraries.

The compiler, the kernel development source and ITS headers and the OS
libraries and THEIR headers are not a one package thing: I can think of
many examples where you might want the compiler alone. Or the compiler
and the libraries-headers,but not the kernel source, or any combination.

 

Well I think compilers without header files are perfectly FINE.

*Libraries* without them are effing useless though.

FWIW, I ran Mandrake 7.0, circa 2001, with KDE on a 166MHz machine with
just 64MB of RAM, 256MB swap, and it worked fine, quite usable. However,
it was a lean, no frills system: Nothing running that didn't absolutely

Jan,
First of all, you shouldn't be entering either the task Start or Finish,
that's Project's job. Except in a few isolated cases (e.g. a task starts
independently of all other tasks and does not start when the project
starts), the task information you should be entering are:
1. Task Name - performance tasks should be in action verb format
2. Task Duration - whether in minutes, hours, days, etc. (Note: Task
Duration is NOT the same as Work effort although if a resource is
assigned at 100% the values in those two fields will be the same.)
3. Linkages between tasks - this sets up the logical flow of the
activities - the default is finish-to-start
4. Resource assignments - the people or material necessary to complete
the task

Given the above information, Project calculates a schedule. That is, it
will set up all task start and finish dates (and times if the option to
display time is selected under Tools/Options/View tab). Project will
also calculate Cost based on the resource pay rate x Work hours plus any
Fixed Cost associated with the task.

The user "controls" resources and cost by developing a realistic plan
and good project management techniques (e.g. workarounds when things
don't go as originally planned).

For some good reference material, you might want to go to our MVP
website at: http://www.mvps.org/project/links.htm
and take a look at fellow MVP, Mike Glen's series on Project lessons and
techniques.

VB offset error from Jack Dahgren's Code

Posted: 31 Oct 2005 08:06 AM PST

What does xlRow = at that time?
I just tried it with the Excel 11 (2003) object library and it works fine.
I developed it on excel 2000.

I suspect you are missing some of the code. Copy and paste the whole thing
again. The first 4 lines should be:

Option Explicit
Dim xlRow As Excel.Range
Dim xlCol As Excel.Range
Sub TaskHierarchy()

If you haven't defined xlRow then you will get an Object required error.

You can also get rid of the dwn and rgt functions if you like and just use
plain old offset within the code. This example is supposed to demonstrate
passing parameters (very simple ones) so that is the reason they are there
in the first place.

Hi Chris,

Of course it is. It's always interesting to compare different points of

colour code milestones in calendar view?

Posted: 30 Oct 2005 06:14 PM PST

Benjiluck:

You might want to use a custom field (flag/text) to establish the difference
in the milestones or you can use a tag. It sounds like a custom field to
define the differences would be best route and then you can color code that.

I dunno. Maybe it’s just me I’ve always found Project to be a little quirky
like this. I can usually solve a problem but it seems to invariably involve
taking a task out and putting it back in.

Wrap text in Microsoft Project 2000

Posted: 29 Oct 2005 02:27 AM PDT

Thanks Rod,

When using 'Print preview' on various printers, the problem continues to
exist; i.e. the text remains on 01 line when printed but is wrapped in the
original doent. It also occurs in a similar fashion when I .pdf the
doent.

Suggestions ??? Thanks

Critical Path - Critical Chain Tracking of Projects

Posted: 28 Oct 2005 09:50 AM PDT

Stuart,
You need to be able to highlight the Resource Critical Path, as
explained in Eric Eyttewaal's book, Dynamic Scheduling with MSP 2003.
By highlighting the RCP you will be able to keep an eye on tasks that
are either driven by logical dependencies (CPM) or by resource
dependencies.
In his book Eric explains a manual method for highlighting the RCP. As
well, a macro is available by license that will do this for you
automatically.
Yes, this is a feature that should be available in MSP. One of the very
big limitations of the CPM is that it does not take resource
vailability into account.

PPBES and Project

Sorry. The government...espcially the DOD and NOAA are using a busineess
process called: Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution Sytem
(PPBES). Nothing magic...but it is a well established in the government.

It's obviosly cyclic, with no project start or stop date.

Hiding Subproject summary tasks?

Posted: 28 Oct 2005 03:33 AM PDT

Thanks for that!

If I grouped the tasks by 'Project', 'Resource Initials', 'Outline Number'.
Can I still 'flag' the summary tasks there? Or is there another way to do it?

Task splitting - a process, not a parameter?

Posted: 28 Oct 2005 02:50 AM PDT

Hi George,

Split Parts of a task can be read using the SplitParts method.
You can read the help through the object browser.
To help you onthe way, here is the help on the SplitParts Object (which has
a count, a start and a finish property) - go on reading I comment on
asignment splist below-

SplitPart Object, SplitParts Collection Object






Represents a task portion. The SplitPart object is a member of the
SplitParts collection.

Using the SplitPart Object

Use SplitParts(Index), where Index is the task portion index number, to
return a single SplitPart object. The following example lists the start and
finish times of each task portion of the task in the active cell.

Dim Part As Long, Portions As String

For Part = 1 To ActiveCell.Task.SplitParts.Count
With ActiveCell.Task
Portions = Portions & "Task portion " & Part & ": Start on " & _
.SplitParts(Part).Start & ", Finish on " & _
.SplitParts(Part).Finish & vbCrLf
End With
Next Part

MsgBox Portions
Using the SplitParts Collection

Use the SplitParts property to return a SplitParts collection. The following
example returns the number of task portions for each task in the active
project.

Dim T As Task

For Each T In ActiveProject.Tasks
If Not (T Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox T.Name & ": " & T.SplitParts.Count
End If

Next T
Use the Split method (Task object) to add a SplitPart object to the
SplitParts collection. (The Split method creates a split in a task.) The
following example creates a split in the task from Wednesday to Monday.

ActiveCell.Task.Split "10/1/97", "10/6/97"
-------------------------------------------------

There is no method for asignment splist but they can be discovered by
looking for zero-work periods using the timescaledata method and the
timescalevalues object.

Hope this helps,

Microsoft CRM - Mail Merge Question

Microsoft CRM - Mail Merge Question

Mail Merge Question

Posted: 15 Jun 2005 02:14 PM PDT

Tim: Actually, you can use c360's Query Manager tool to add or update the
address data in your contacts. If you can run the query that shows you the
specific contacts, within c360's Query Manager, first select all the contacts
for a particular account within your query, then click on the Action button
and select the "Update Field" option. In the dialog that opens, you can
choose the Street 1 address line and then type in the address that you want
for all of the selected contacts. Do the same for the city, state and zip
fields, and then when you do your mail merge, the contacts will all have
addresses in them!

For "leads" there is a advanced search or you can modify Leads Default View
in alfabetically order

For "notes" it seems a bug. I haven't any idea.

Exchange Problems

Posted: 15 Jun 2005 11:00 AM PDT

When you say "I have verified that they have been received becaue they are in
that user's inbox" do you mean they are in their Outlook inbox? If so, you
have not set up the queue correctly. A queue is a disabled Active Directory
user account. If it is disabled, nobody can receive mail sent to it directly
in Outlook (without adding some forwarding rules in Exchange). If you have
set up a queue correctly, the email will be visible in the CRM web interface
by clicking on Workplace and, from the Workplace tab you will see at the
bottom of the list a folder for your queue. For instance, if you set up a
com queue, there will be a folder in Workplace called
"Support" that will receive email sent to this address.

You can actually use SQL reporting for CRM 1.2.

There's a superb article on it here :

MS have released a reporting pack for it too

User Access Level for Create Action.

Posted: 14 Jun 2005 02:45 PM PDT

Hmm, I guess Ive been spending too much time in the SDK.

When you create objects via the SDK, you can provide the ID of a different user.
At one point in the UI, this was anticipated as well (thus the disable lookup
icon). However, the UI forces you to create with your own ID and then re-assign
it. Via the SDK, you can do this directly via the "Create" method.

The security serttings would control the ability to do this. Thus, if I had
"Business Unit" on create, then I could create the record as being owned by
anyone in my BU, but not a user in a different BU.

If you are using Sales For Outlook in offline mode you are limited to 6000

Exporting CRM Reports Gives Error

Hi John,

Yes, it is from all workstations (both thick and thin clients via W2003 TS)
and is irrespective of Office version.

I have tried reloading the Crystal Reports Active X viewer to no avail either.

Ideas?

Thanks
