I tried this configuration and it didnt work too well. Its ok to keep 2 sources synced for backup purposes but it does not seem to do the real time syncing you need for user files.

I dont use mandatory profiles but I do have a default profile in the netlogon share I can alter. Might be a good idea actually as it needs a little tidying up. So I am assuming there is a per user setting for this then? As everything I have seen points to per computer settings.

I need a reg hack to make DVDs open in MPC rather than Win MP. I have tried a few of googles solutions but they dont seem to work. I even ran regmon while doing it manually, but I couldnt figure out which key it was. Any ideas?

You could go to your file server and see who has open sessions to their home directory. Computer management > Shared Folders

You have include a "+" which I edited. I was having abrain freeze and couldn't remember the VBS concat operator as I have been scripting in other stuff recently. Change + to &

If your not bothered about what the file names end up being (Copy them all first) select all right click > rename. it will do them all with the file name numbered.

I have have been doing something similar recently. I found a macro to merge all the documents in a folder. It also puts a page break at the bottom of each. You could do this then just open one document.

The possibilities are endless

I would create a textfile with a certain name to show its run or look for one of the new files/folder that the new install creates. If not FileName.exist Something like that.

You will have to escape the extra quotes by doing doing double quotes, which can get complicated or use the chr() function to insert the quotes to the string. Either way it is better to build the string up and assign it to a variable eg CMDLine= ""\\server\applications$\Office 2k3\MaintWiz.exe"" /c ""\\server\applications$\Office 2k3\OfficeUpdate.CMW"" /qb-" That probably isnt 100% accurate but you get the idea the other way would be CMDLine=Chr(34) & "\\server\applications$\Office 2k3\MaintWiz.exe" & Chr(34) & "/c " & Chr(34) & "\\server\applications$\Office 2k3\OfficeUpdate.CMW" & Chr(34) & " /qb-"" Again probably not 100% accurate but you get the right idea then it would just be a case of: Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") objShell.Run CMDLine

Your probably going to need a Disk to Disk to tape system if you are shifting a lot of data. The backups would go to some kind of Disk device overnight where the transfer speed will be very good, then during the day you can transfer this to a tape autoloader.

I used a similar program recently and it was very good. The only annoying thing was it wouldn't create a blank floppy image so I had to use another program for that!

It works I cant take credit I got it of EE. Sub MergeDocs() Dim rng As Range Dim MainDoc As Document Dim strFile As String Dim sec As Section Const strFolder = "C:\reports\" Set MainDoc = Documents.Add strFile = Dir$(strFolder & "*.xml") Do Until strFile = "" Set rng = MainDoc.Bookmarks("\EndOfDoc").Range If rng.End > 0 Then rng.InsertBreak wdSectionBreakNextPage Set rng = MainDoc.Bookmarks("\EndOfDoc").Range End If rng.InsertFile strFolder & strFile strFile = Dir$() Loop End Sub

Thanks for the info. I found a macro that seems to fit the bill. If it works I will post it.

I am exporting individual reports from assesment manager but I need them all in one document so I can run some extra macros on them. Basically I have a folder full of word (.xml) files and I need them all merging into one document so I can apply some macros to them. I am not applying the macros to the template because I cant find the right way to run them as SIMs just spits them straight out as documents. I have googled a few solutions but they dont seem to work. Any help greatly appreciated. ChrisH

Well that is the biggest bargain ever if that is the case! At Lancaster university the modules are £600 each for the Foundation degree in Networking/systems. The MS module costs about £800 so that is why I asked the question.

That will be for each module though not for all those you list surely?

Please explain your solution rather than having an unanswered question come up as a search result.

When I look at our user list it states when they last logged on, if ever.

Look into WDS, it comes with Server 2003/8 . Theres plenty of topics on here about it.

I use the same method as Bossman.

Happy Birthday

I dont think they will appreciate you calling them the fatest coder you have ever seen

How well or not does mythtv work with the likes of Sky?

What format did they want .rtf or something?
