At just one of the schools we support, just one of the users reports this odd issue: When completing registers, users can view the range of attendance codes either by clicking on the Codes button on the toolbar, or else right-clicking in a register cell and choosing Display Codes... just one of our users reports that this doesn't work. It must be an individual work-station or user setting but I don't know which! Any ideas??

A simple solution, I completely overlooked!! Thanks :-), EDIT: although in actual fact, there's three tick-boxes and I removed the pre-populated ticks from all three and then clicked Yes which did the trick. ;-)

Can anyone remind me how to disable the Ampark splash screen that pops up every time any user enters the assessment area in SIMS? We use our own assessment resources so the repeated invitation to download Capita's resources is a (slight) nuisance and everyone always closes the splash screen, so it'd be great if it didn't appear in the first place!

Thanks - some elements were missing, got them now. :-)

Does anyone know which of the several executables stored in the Setups folder, installs the chm help files?

At home I use a Virgin SuperHub AKA Netgear VMDG480 - any problem with putting the psu on a timer, so that it turns off overnight? All my devices are set to not update automatically and are (probably) shut down when I'm tucked up in bed...

Oh, and the VB class/property of interest is DateAndTime.Now, as in... Dim ThisMoment As Date ' The following statement calls the Get procedure of the Visual Basic Now property. ThisMoment = Now Edit: see earlier post... ;-)

Just to get you started, (which is another way of saying, 'I don't know'...) I would start be going to the properties of the form you're using and then do something with one of the Event properties for the combo box used to select the Status - there's one of interest - On Exit, so your code should say something like, "on exiting this control, check to see if the contents are a, then do x, if b do y..." sorry I can't help with the code - Google is your friend!

It's an advert - 'nuff said... BTW- thnx for that joke, witch - v. funny!

Yikes! interesting... I'll give that a try when I have a spare mo' - I've tried the Index function which still needs manual edits but less of them! Cheers for the idea!

Never been anything other than delighted with all my Apple products!

In a spreadsheet I want to reference other cells in blocks of 4 rows - see below. How do I copy the references, so that I don't have to type them all in by hand? If I try a simple copy/paste it does this...

Jiro Dreams Of Sushi... loved it, very interesting - 'specially after I found the right sub-title file! Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) - IMDb

you might try changing the font dpi settings via Control Panel...

Nice one, Eyes ;-)

localzuk, at my age, I have trouble remembering my mobile number, let alone the numbers of 100-ish schools... ;-)

Sizer does this to it: All I got to do now is embed those settings (or similar) in the executable.. any ideas?

I engaged fingers before brain - you're all right in that the connect.ini has got nothing to do with the log-in dialog box, other than to populate the contents of the Connection text box... reason: I am exploring the options available to make sight of our many databases (I support about 100 schools...) better. Abbreviating the 'friendly name' is one option, resizing the dialog box is another... Thanks for Sizer link, Arreks :-)

Does anyone know how to control the attributes of the SIMS .net log-in dialog box - I have in mind specifically, its size.?

I luuuurrrrvvv my MBP, but am under no illusions that the high build-quality is all part of the image... Having said that, in all my years of Apple ownership, which began with the original Power Cube, and has passed thru the first Ives iMac, MacBooks (Pro & plain vanilla) & mac Mini, none have ever let me down other than a coupl of optical drives.

Hi, anyone had sight yet of the new reporting tool in Integris?

If anyone feels generous enough to send me a couple of examples of progress tracking uing Excel, I would be grateful - anything'll do new or old, just to get me started along the rocky road. Can email me direct to my gmail account with the user name of simonineaston, not written here for spambot reason...

I've been asked to look into using Excel to 'crunch data' - what are the TopTen commonest requests for spreadsheets from teaching colleagues? I can start the ball rolling with a suggestion of my own: The Numbers of Students achieving A* to C for any given subject... OK maybe not actually ten but any suggestions will be welcome!
