<code>
    objApp = CreateObject(“Outlook.Application”)
    call objApp.UserSubName(argument1, argument2)
</code>

where UserSubName is the name of the sub in Outlook.  I’ve seen several minor variations on this, and in the comments after each one, there is usually at least one poster who writes “This didn’t work for me.”  I’m trying to understand the problem better, so while I’ll happily take an answer to why this isn’t working, the real question I’m asking is:

Is a user-written sub or function placed in the object model hierarchy?  In other words, can I “drill down” to the sub or function with “Application.something.somethingelse.UserSubName”?  Any feedback on this would be appreciated!

I want to be able to distinguish all values for each year, so I have another spreadsheet (B) with a long list of all dates for 2010, 2011 and 2012. 

I use vlookup (VLOOKUP(F3;$B$3:$C$7;2;FALSE) to search for each date in the second sheet to find a match in the first sheet, and return the corresponding values. That works fine. 
The problem is that in the first sheet, the same date can occur more than once, with different values, while the second sheet only searches for the dates once. That means only one value for the repeated dates will be counted.

I have tried cross-searching, by first adding a column to the first spreadsheet, giving all dates a unique number: 1,2,3,4 and so on. After that, I have used vlookup on those numbers, getting all dates as result. That way I get the repeated dates as a search reference. However, when using these dates as startpoint for a second vlookup, all repeated dates get the value of the same date (see below, missing 5000).

Meaning the file was saved again without prompting me if I would like to save it and changes its date. Is this situation known to anyone? How can I disable this option? Now what happens is that I don’t have the original date the file was saved on and it can be meaningful. Thanks! A.

I know the way to download data from as400 to excel 2007.

It can be done by using Data connection wizard or Microsoft query.

However, when using

(1)

Data connection wizard, i don’t know which kind of database i should choose.

ODBC DSN or Other / advanced ?

after choosing the kind of database, how can I know the name of the database I need to choose?

(2)

when using Microsoft query, which driver I should choose?

thanks

We are receiving reports in an email that we copy into Excel. We run the Text to Column>Delimited>Delimiters (Only Other = |)(Text Qualifier left as default = *)>Column Data Format (General). Every thing works great and the columns are the way we want them. We go to another report, copy the data, go back to the same worksheet, go a couple of cells below, paste the data and we are back to having to run Text to Column again. Any way to have it remember the settings so it automatically enters the data in the correct columns?
Thanks
