Crappy Site!!!!
Posted two questions about 5 days ago and it has not shown. Even searching
by my username nothing comes back. Have searched many, many hours looking for the answer to my question. Microsoft still has a very long way to go on customer service!!!!!!!! I have no options left except to call Microsoft, which of course they will refer me here. I am frustrated and angry at this point. Oh, by the way, no customer feedback to Microsoft so I must vent to you all. Just one more way Microsoft loses business every day!!!!!! |

How difficult is it to search for "dawgpilot"?
Reply to your first post from David McRichie: see http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/snakecol.htm --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "dawgpilot" wrote in message ... I have an excel database with three columns as follows: Column: A B C Column Title: Tail # A/C Type Owner There are about 300 records in my database so when I print I have to either manually format my data into more (6) columns or print these three columns over multiple pages. If I format the worksheet manually to print 6 columns then I cannot sort or add records to the end of my list. I have to enter my new information and then cut/paste to the correct location. I would like to be able to continue entering my data in one long range and have excel print my database with multiple columns per sheet as follows Column: A B C D E F Column Title: Tail# A/C Type Owner Tail# A/C Type Owner Reply to second post from Bob Phillips: Slight adjustment to the spec, and error handling :-) Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) With ActiveSheet .Range("A61:C120").Copy Destination:=Range("D1") .Range("A61:C120").ClearContents On Error Goto cleanup Application.EnableEvents = False .PrintOut .Range("D1:F60").Copy Destination:=Range("A61") .Range("D1:F60").ClearContents Cancel = True End With cleanup: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub -- HTH Bob Phillips "Bob Phillips" wrote in message ... Here's an interesting little trick that I picked up from Tom Ogilvy the other day Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) With ActiveSheet .Range("A61:B120").Copy Destination:=Range("C1") .Range("A61:B120").ClearContents Application.EnableEvents = False .PrintOut .Range("C1:D60").Copy Destination:=Range("A61") .Range("C1:D60").ClearContents Cancel = True Application.EnableEvents = True End With End Sub 'This is workbook event code.

I have a range with 3 columns and about 120 records. When left in this format it prints 3 columns over two pages using only 1/2 of each page. I want excel to print my data on one page with six columns (two ranges with the same headings). This is an active database that is changed regularly so for me to cut and paste is not effecient enough. PS RagDyeR also suggests you look at the snakecol link to David McRichie's site.

I think you're the victim of a common bug. It occurs partway between the
keyboard and the back of the chair you're sitting in. 1) This isn't a "site". It's a newsgroup. There's a difference. 2) You posted 1 question on the 23rd using the name dawgpilot, and it was answered the same day. It's still available on the communities web interface (i.e., the "Web site"). You can always check the archives, using your name/email address in the "author" field: http://groups.google.com/advanced_gr...ugroup=*excel* 3) You can certainly provide feedback to MS via the "Contact us" link on the newsgroup pages: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=support In article , dawgpilot wrote: Posted two questions about 5 days ago and it has not shown.

Hi JE!
It's still available on the communities web interface (i.e., the "Web site"). What URL is that at? I normally use the web interface he http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp But for several weeks now, many of the groups are not available. The web interface at this URL http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/ is just plain horrible. Why anyone would use that interface is beyond me. Just a personal prefrence. I don't really like using this newsreader. Biff "JE McGimpsey" wrote in message ... I think you're the victim of a common bug.

And I use http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx, and
never ever had any problems getting there. And you are right, his question was asked and answered in one day. Damn good service, especially considering that it does'nt cost him a cent!

Hi JE,
He actually posted the same question twice, using different subject lines, but with the same content. And as you so rightly said, he got answers (several of them) the same day! Maybe he does'nt bother to tick the "Notify me of replies" option. If one looks at the number of posts per day, small wonder that he then does not find any replies when he comes back! Think I will post a new threaad to tell him how to do it! "JE McGimpsey" wrote: I think you're the victim of a common bug.

Try: http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...verview.mspx#5 I normally use the web interface he http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp But for several weeks now, many of the groups are not available. Not sure which groups you're talking about - most of the XL ones are there. The web interface at this URL http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/ is just plain horrible. Why anyone would use that interface is beyond me. And I can't understand, except possibly for those behind a corporate firewall that can't access any other way, why one would use a web interface at all... Just a personal prefrence. I don't really like using this newsreader. First, OE is not a newsreader. There are many, many, *many* better ways to read news: http://newsreaders.com |

......maybe I overreacted!!!....I had an extremely frustrating day. I did
click "notify me of response" and my response was sent to someone on my contacts list, not me (can't figure this one out). Also, there are pages for a "community" and one for this "discussion group". I'm still not clear how you get from one to the other but my messages posted here when I was on the other web page. Anyway, thank you for the help on my questions and I'm sorry for my rant.

Hi!
Your link is very similar to this one: http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/ If you navigate to this link (the web interface that I normally use): http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp You'll see that the interface is much better. However, as I stated, many of the Excel groups are not available. They're all listed but if you select, for instance, the MISC group, a message comes up stating newsgroup not available.
