Re: Video Tutorial Recording?
It is not cheap.... but my preference is Camtasia Studio. Get the package with Snagit (USD$325). I use these tools every day! We have folks using way more expensive products with a recording/production studio in my office (it is their full-time gig) and I put out content faster than they do and at c...

Notes on macro in list view
It would be soooo nice to have a notes option for each macro - and be able to display it in the Macro list view. Something that would allow you to take better notes about the macro, its purpose, client name etc. There is a fair bit of realestate in the window now and no option of adding columns to t...

Re: Randomizing elements of a string
When I complete my solution I will post it all here - as long as nobody gives me too much grief for my coding skills... My first cut got the time down from 8 hours per month to 25 minutes. And considering the individuals doing the schedule were SENIOR physicians - you can imagine the cost savings th...

Re: Randomizing elements of a string
change let>teller=0 into let>teller=-1 and then the bug is exterminated ... i hope... :D That did not work entirely for me - the incidents of only 5 items in the list were as follows: Trial 1 - 4/100 had only 5 items after the shuffle Trial 2 - 2/100 Trial 3 - 9/100 It was the third line below you ...

Re: Randomizing elements of a string
AWESOME! You have no idea how long this took me.... I should have posted sooner. So much more elegant than what I was doing (or rather trying to do). You ever take on a project and it is FAR more complex than you thought? I am trying to optimize the shift schedules for a group of employees. And then...

Re: Unicode character - how to replace? XML validation error
Thanks Marcus.... here is an extract of the relevant lines. A few caveats: - it is probably way to complicated - as I am a business guy - not a coder - I know I should use subroutines - I tend to write my first proof of concept in a linear format - then start fresh and write it tight The following a...

Unicode character - how to replace? XML validation error
I am extracting the text from an Excel cell doing some manipulation and then writing it out as a line to an XML file. When I try and validate it using http://xmlvalidation.com/ it tells me there is a problem with a character.... The validator tells me it is "Unicode: 0x1" I have tried pasting the ch...

Gannage (YYY) Position>), ,strLine,X,dPos,FALSE I get an "error in position command". It would seem like the...
