I used to assign the string value to a textbox in a hidden form, then copy/paste that to a cell to get a result that spanned multiple cells and didn’t just all dump into one cell.

instead I now do this using the Form datatobject

            thisString = OUT_HEADER + thisString

            Dim DataObj As New MSForms.DataObject

            DataObj.SetText thisString

            DataObj.PutInClipboard
then paste it somewhere
            Range("A1").Select
            Sheets(startSheet).Paste
esentially the same thing simplified and without an actual form

So the correct way to get around it was to enter smtp.gmail.com:587  http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287

I tried no port  with SSL checked and appended :465 with SSL checked so :587 with SSL checked and the whole email account address.

That at least gets me on to the next steps.

What if you didn’t trust someone to keep a secret?

Just tell them something totally false about someone else.

Then sit back and wait to hear back from the person you spread the rumor about.

When you do. Explain how you were just testing the other person’s discretion.

Oh…

I guess that won’t work either. Then no one will ever trust what you say.

Somehow things  always makes so much more sense when you wake up from a dream.

They started calling me up, and started to pay me to go on TV. People  wanted to know what I think about things. They even cared about what I said.

It was amazing. I was making thousands of dollars a day, just for having the opinions I have.  Just have an opinion, and all of a sudden you are in the money. Doesn’t matter if you know what you are talking about. Just having media attention makes your opinion worth something.

Like I said, it was a dream.

BUT it made me wonder…

How do people get to be pundits?

I already know how to have my opinion, so call me up and hire me.

I am waiting.

Views never seem to adhere to your preferences,  as they had in XP.

If you are used to applying a specific view, such as details,  in explorer, you have to be frustrated by it not working as you expect.
I came across this great explanation, which actually does clarify the problem and solve the issue.

I would imagine that no one even thinks of this, it just happens.

Apple and AT&T regularly portray themselves as concerned about a good customer experience. Yet, their devices uselessly roam cities daily. The desire to lock in revenue subscriptions, and forced data plans has partially caused the problem. The next complaint will be that since no one can make a phone call, text messaging is choking the network.

The cause of the problem is a policy which generated use to justify the cost being charged.
The solution is non-exclusivity. If AT&T can’t handle the network mess they created, allow competition to handle the details.
If the 3% of users using 40% had options, many would not stay on AT&T’s network at all. Problem solved.
Quit the blame shifting AT&T

However I was able to connect via a virtual machine to the network and internet which was running inside this machine.

The ultimate cause of this was that the Symantec uninstall via the windows add remove programs process fails and leaves crap lying around.

If your Symantec subscribtion  expired and you tried to remove it you will have a networking  problem.

Download the removal tool and it cleans everything up.

You can try to change the config key “use_mos_conf_livesite” in the section “compat” in registry editor.

I changed that value from 0 to 1 and it worked.

For example Netflix offers instant streaming movies, but you have to use internet explorer. If you forget, you are prompted to open it instead. If you use a different default browser you likely have to go through the hassle of closing and reopening the site in a different browser.

Why not just create a shortcut which does that for you?

Right click your desktop.

Create new shortcut and type the following in the ‘location of the item’ (or substitute wherever you have ie installed)

Make sure to include a space between the browser application executable and the site name.

“C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” http://www.netflix.com/

create shortcut

finish shortcut

This will work for other browsers as well, just substitute the browser application location in front of the site address you want to open.
