There are many highly qualified individuals who gladly help for free. Stevie is not one of them, but he is the only one who just does not get the idea of "FREE" support. He offers questionable results at unreasonable prices. If he was any good, the "thousands" of people he claims to have helped would be flooding him with work, but there appears to be a continuous drought and he needs to constantly grovel for work. A few gems gleaned from the Word New User newsgroup over the past Christmas period and a few gems from the Access newsgroups to show Stevie's "expertise". Dec 17, 2008 7:47 pm Word 2007 .......... In older versions of Word you could highlght some text then go to Format - Change Case and change the case of the hoghloghted text. Is this still available in Word 2007? Where? Thanks! Steve Dec 22, 2008 8:22 pm I am designing a series of paystubs for a client. I start in landscape and draw a table then add columns and rows to setup labels and their corresponding value. This all works fine. After a landscape version is completed, I next need to design a portrait version. Rather than strating from scratch, I'd like to be able to cut and paste from the landscape version and design the portrait version.

Steve One of my favourites: Dec 30, 2008 8:07 PM - a reply to stevie (The original poster asked how to sort a list and stevie offered to create the OP an Access database) Steve wrote: > Yes, you are right but a database is the correct tool to use not a > spreadsheet. Not at all. If it's just a simple list then a spreadsheet is perfectly adequate... Sept 10, 2009 (In respose to a perfectly adequate GENERIC solution stevie wrote) This function is specific to the example but not generic for any amount paid out.

Would look like: > Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1) > > Steve No, it would not look like Left("YourString",Instr("YourString","VbCr" Or "VbLf") - 1) First of all, the constants are vbCr and vbLf: no quotes around them. With the quotes, you're looking for the literal strings. Second, you can't Or together character constants like that. Even if you could, Or'ing them together in the InStr function like that makes no sense at all. Sept 22,2009 Sorry Steve, even I can see that this is a useless answer. I made it pretty clear that "CW259" is just ONE possible value for the control. "Steve" wrote: > Hello David, > > Open your report in design view and select txtOrderID.
