I have been following the answers given to Mark's question below. I would
suggest the following solution to the problem:
Assuuming that the user would like to keep on inputting info into the A
column, starting from A2. Let's put the result of the balance in C1. The
formula in C1 would then be:
=INDIRECT("B"&FIXED(COUNT(A2:A2000)+1,0))
The "INDIRECT" function accesses the address given as the parameter, which
in this case is the B column. The row is found by counting the number of
entries (assuming that it would not go past row 2000 - adjust the formula
if otherwise). To this we have to add 1, since the first entry is in the
second row.
Hope that helps.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Excel Formula
I am trying to set up two columns in Excel 2000 to calculate a running
balance.
Say you have Column A and column B.
You input a figure in cell A2 which is automatically subtracted from B1 and
then the result is outputted to B2 and this continues down the entire
column....input in A3 which is subtracted from B2 and inputted to B3 etc.
I would also like to output the result (running balance) to a single cell
at the top of the worksheet so I can always see the balance when i open it
...Say C1.
I assume this can all be done with a formula in the B column but how do
this so that it keeps running down the column ?
thanks

There are a number of programs to convert BINHEX format back to binary.
First save your attachment to disk, then run the conversion program on =

If this was a commercial application, these two choices should have
*exactly* the same effect. The application shows up in #4,
Microsoft's Add/Remove list, ONLY because, as part of installation,
it created a registry entry saying "here is the command to uninstall
this application" -- and if that's different from #2, some
programmers should be fired....

I have a friend who is putting together a database. She has a report that
is printing fine but it is 85 pages long and she wants a table of contents.
We tried to export it to Word but too much formatting had to be done and
this report is going to change frequently. We have tried to put together a
table of contents in a subreport but we can't figure out how to have it
pick
up the correct page number. Has anyone ever created a table of contents in

Some time ago, someone in the list showed how to change the registry to
force the windows menu to appear in parallel columns versus the "windows

worked well. But now, many days later and having upgraded to ME, I have
too many programs listed in columns to fit on the screen and now need to
go back to single file. I called myself searching the list but could not
find the reference.
Anyone know where it is?

I tried your suggestion:
HKEY_LOCAL-mACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Advanced\StartMenuScroolPrograms

parallel columns with anther column off the screen. Got another

Donna,
Generally, you should send all email attachments to your virus scan
program, first.
With that said, when ever I receive anything that requires something else,
I delete it.
Even if it's from a "trusted" source. If it's not something you're
expecting, you don't want it.
Your friend may be sending something innocent enough, but why take the
chance.
If you *must* open the attachment, then I'd suggest a search on the net for
"Bin Hex 4.0",
which is likely an executable program that you'll never use again.
Hope this is helpful.

Both are free and easy to set up. I have OptOut running each

Have you just plugged the scanner in and let Windows ME identify it? I
just

automatically installed it's own software for it. You won't be able to use
the Vista scan software that came with your scanner but you can acquire
images from it using any twain compliant imaging program. There is a Kodak
imaging program that comes with Winme. PaintShopPro or any of the other
graphics programs will work too. After you plug in your scanner and WinME
installs software just go to the Kodak imaging and select file/Scan New. A
scanner screen will come up and you are set to go.

Mark,
the formula you want in B2 is ... obviously ... =B1-A2. To get this to
continue down the page, click the cell B2 once and put the mouse over the
little square in the bottom right - the "fill handle" - and drag down. The
cell references are automatically adjusted.
If you are prepared to have a fix number of rows, say 50, your other reqt
is
easy: set C1 to =B50. But otherwise it may be tough. You could try another
approach altogether: =B1-SUM(A:A) - as long as you have no other values in
column A.

Hi Paul
There may be an entry in the registry which is trying to load this
DLL. Search the registry for TSAD.dll. (Go to Start, Run and type
in Regedit. Click "OK". Once regedit opens, click "Edit", then "Find".
Type in TSAD.dll and go from there.) You may find it in one of the
following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
If you see TSAD.dll in the right pane of regedit, highlight the
left most part of the line that contains TSAD.dll and click the
delete key.
There are a few other locations where the file might be called,
but these two are the most likely.
I read recently that you ran Adaware. If you let it delete some
spyware, this probably caused your problem.
Alan Thompson mentioned that TSAD.dll is part of Conduscent/
TimeSink's programming. Alan supplied this link:
<http://www.alphalink.com.au/~johnf/spyware.html>.
They repeat Conduscent's instructions for removing
the TimeSink stuff:
1. Remove from c:\winnt or c:\windows: tsad.dll, vcpdll.dll and
FlexActv.dll
2. Remove tsadbot.exe from C:\Program Files\TimeSink\AdGateway.
3. Remove C:\Program Files\TimeSink directory.
Clean the Registry:
4. Remove HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TimeSink registry key.
5. Remove HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TimeSink registry key.
6. Remove Conducent entries from:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run
Note number 6. The registry key is incorrect in that it's missing
"\Windows" from its middle. It should read
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
as I mentioned above. Please go there and delete the appropriate
entry. (Any entry that mentions TSAD.dll or any other TimeSink
file.)
Since TSAD.dll is spyware, it was probably used by some "freeware"
("adware" if you like) program that you installed. (Maybe you've
even uninstalled that program by now.) Spyware is not always
removed when you remove its host program.

Rosanne,
Your question is rather vague and very confusing.
First you said that you don't write HTML but then
later you said that want to paste it into your own html.
You need to repost your request with a lot more details.
What kind of ad is it? Text? Graphics? Banner?
Where would you put it?
What web browser are you using?
How did you create the ad you already have?
The more details you can give us, then the more
meaningful our answer will be.
Another important point.....
have you checked to make sure the ad is not copyrighted?

Mark,
Use the INSERT ROW feature just above the last
line of the table each time you want to add a new value.
This will push down the final/running total AND because
the pointers in the formulae are relative, all formulae will
adjust and adapt.

Subject: Re: C:
Since Win95 it has had the ability to re-open at startup any explorer
windows (whether in the "my computer" view or the two-pane explorer view)
that were open on shutdown. Of course, if there's a problem during shutdown
this can fail.
Could this be what we're talking about? Try (if you haven't already)
closing
all windows and rebooting.
If it still happens, possibly whatever registry entry windows uses to
control this behaviour has got stuck. You should then be methodical about
isolating the problem. A good first step is to run msconfig (the System
Configuration Utility). It's built into Win98 but will also run on 95 - can
be downloaded from http://nospin.com/pc/files004.html - don't know about
win2k or ME. The startup page lists all the programs that will be
automatically run at startup.

Eve-nin' folks,
Somewhere between all the Windows 9x upgrades and
now the Windows ME upgrade,
I've lost my System File Checker program.
Has anyone seen it? Please send it back to me. <G>
Does ME have an equivalent? There's a Maintenance Wizard but that's not
the
same thing.
Thanks

Not sure if this will totally help your problem but you definitely need the
vxd fix which will rid the blue screen of death. I'm not 100% sure but I
think I got the fix from the Nospin home page. Look for it there and then
install and run it and see if that solves the problem. You still need the
fix anyway! Joseph Rydzy

First make sure that the ad is not copyrighted, so you do not infringe on
the
copy rights of the owners. Assuming it is in public domain or you have
their
permission and are using Windows 9x, while the ad is visible on the screen
hit
"print screen" button. Then paste it to any graphical editor or word
processor
( I like WordPerfect), and edit to your heart desire.
