    Posix dates to normal

    Hi I have a people counting camera that outputs data in xml format. After struggling to convert it to regular csv (which it now does), I find that the dates are in f%&@ing posix format. Is there an easy way to convert this to regular dates in Excel, so that my tables and charts will mean...

    Rack / Cab mounts

    Hi all Hope this is OK to ask in here, but I figured you lot would have an answer! We're going to need some rack/cabinet mount capability soon. At the moment we have 5 Dell tower servers, but space is becoming an issue and rack mounted servers make more sense. I presume some of you at least...

    SBS 2003 and existing domain / servers

    Hi We are a small site (approx 40 users) running a few dell poweredge servers, mainly Windows Server 2000 and 2003. (Our PDC is still NT4 though). These servers host Epos DB (MS Dynamics, formerly Navision), credit card software and security cameras. We're looking at taking on an even smaller...

    One for the Excel genii - odd ceiling request

    Hi I need to do some price rounding - I usually use the CEILING function, but this is a little more complicated. The 4 acceptable price points are .25 / .49 / .75 and .99 The price should just jump to the next highest price point, so a couple of examples: .45 would go to .49; .76 go to .99...

    Multiple NICs in one server

    Hi all Just after some advice on the best way to implement the use of 2 NICs in a server, as I'm out of my depth here! Windows 2003 server as member server of NT 4 domain (don't ask!) with 2 x Intel gigabit cards. It runs our IP security cameras and also our sophos antivirus. What I would like...

    Open ports for NTP on Netscreen 5XP

    Arghhhh this is driving me nuts! I am trying to allow a win 2003 server to get time updates from an internet source. I'm trying to configure the firewall to forward port 123 info to 10.0.0.5 I've mimicked several WORKING port forwards, including pcanywhere and rdp, which have worked perfectly...

    Simple Network Time setup on many systems

    Hi I need to setup a time server on our network, but every way I try I'm getting no joy. I suspect it's due to the upside-down setup of our network... NT4 logon server (PDC) Win 2000 server as file server (domain member) Win 2003 server as file server (domain member) Approx 12 XP pro...

    Copying local user account - copy option not available

    Hi I have a PC that has been running locally for a while, and we now need this PC to be part of the domain. I've created the domain account, and have logged in as a completely separate user (\\domain\administrator). However...the account in question (\\computer\account) does not give me the...

    Cutting rightmost characters

    Hi Hopefully simple for someone...we have a sheet where the values we want appear like this each day: GBP 4.99 GBP 22.50 GBP 134.99 What I would like to do is strip the GBP and following space, so I am left with just the value - I can then use this properly as currency and sum the fields etc...

    Check for duplicate numbers

    Hi Wondered if anyone had any ideas that would help here. We import items into our epos application from excel sheets. Every week we find that one supplier or another has included the same barcode on multiple products, which crashes out the import routine, and we then have to sort the sheet by...

    IIS and Spoolsv.exe crashes on every boot XP pro

    Hi all, hope someone can help with my misbehaving PC! Everything fine until 3pm yesteday. Nothing new installed, and have tried restoring two separate points from earlier this week, to no avail. These are very annoying, as they bring up dialogs that are 'always on top', so I have resorted to...

    Formatting font in crosstab

    Hi I have a crosstab report that works fine (a rarity!) apart from one thing - I can't get condtional formatting to work. This is the formula I am using: if {Staff.Manager Privileges} = true then crred else crblack I get 'No errors found' when checking, but all the text stays black no matter...

    Print HTML email without header

    Hi I have an order form arriving from a web cart in an HTML mail. The order form looks great, but every time we print (memo style) it sticks the header (from, to, subject etc) at the top. Is there any way of defining a style that will print the content / body section only? Cheers Mike

    Terminal Server license prob

    Hi Strange issue with licensing, I hope someone can help! We use 5 handheld devices running pocket pc 2002, off of a win2k terminal server with 5 TS licenses added. We have to keep a backup of the devices to save a very long install and setup. We also have to restore the backup every 5-6 weeks...

    Channel hopping wireless devices

    Hi all We are running 12 access points across our site. From time to time, we have real trouble with devices not wanting to talk to the nearest access point, and instead choosing the point they were last connected to, despite the fact they only get a 20% strength/quality compared with the 100%...

    XP SP2 failure on running services after install

    Hi Well I finally came across a problem with SP2, after dozens of happy installations! I've been bringing three XP PC's up to date after they have spent 3 years with no antivirus, no firewall and no auto-updates (not at my place I hasten to add!). 2 pc's took SP2 fine, so I started the third...

    2 nics, same IP address

    Hi I need an answer on a couple of things that I'm not too sure of... Our epos system requires static ip addresses in the pos units. We're running some mobile tills now, so I have 2 nics in each unit - one wired, one wireless. The epos server must know the ip address of the till to function...

    Odyssey product

    I saw this mentioned by bcastner but I can't find the post now. I just wanted to say (and I assure you I don't work for them!) that this product has just fixed all the problems I had with netgear wireless adapters under win2k. As a final irony, the netgear config utility springs into life when...

    My First Cross Tab

    Hi I need a report that will show the distinct user id's that have logged into a computer in a given period. I've tried various types of cross tab, but they keep returning a horrendous number of records, and I'm sure it could be neater. In essence it is returning a row for every user, whether...
