This occurs in your workbook, and also in the one containing the information… do I need to activate the function somehow?

Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks Millions Hans, however when I hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, all three columns return #NAME?.. any ideas?

Unfortunately, the junk at the beginning isn’t always the same length, in some cases, the junk isn’t there at all. (hence the need to prompt for the first useable character in the bold string). I don’t think find and replace will work for me, but I will look into that. Also, because it’s OCR, it doesn’t always include ‘Available In..’ either. It’s a mess alright.. Thanks for your help!

This morning microsoft has released a set of patches for the most recent Internet Explorer flaws that have been actively exploited by the Ject worm. If you have not done so already, please review MS04-025, and apply these patches. I.E. still has a few known holes, however I will keep you informed of any patches that might be required, I hope this helps!

Warmest Regards!

An update is due out soon, which should help to alleviate a major part of the recent concern over the use of I.E.:

Microsoft: Out-of-Cycle Security Patch Coming

Keep checking there for updates! I’ve heard that WinXP’s SP2 also alleviates some of the concern, however it is beta, and I wouldn’t recommend it if it doesn’t have attractive features you might use.

Hope this helps!

As a web-designer, I understand how extremely difficult it is to appropriately code for the plethora of system configurations, browers, computer specs, visual settings, etc, etc, etc, etc,… Simply put, it’s impossible to be universally compatible. Now, there are some methods that I use to maintain as wide a spectrum of compatibility as possible, but these methods are often blown away by the needs of a client, and their feeling that it should be flashy, catchy, and sell. The client only understands one thing, 3 seconds. You’ve got 3 seconds for your page to load up and catch the eye of the user. Flash is particularly helpful in this regard, because the files are relatively small and can present graphics in stunning vector quality.

The lapse though lies more on the methods that browser manufacturers have interpreted the WC3 standards. Each of them has taken different approaches to resolve the translation of page code in their applications, and this is what causes the problem for users and coders alike. Some have done better jobs than others, but each has failings in one area or another. A prominent example of this is the text size attributes in HTML code. They do NOT look the same from browser to browser. That said, the designer has failed if you have to change any of your settings to view a page. I imagine their clients would be very interested to know that… Also realize though that the holy grail of web design, the ‘Common Denominator’ generally uses Internet Explorer with medium security, has their resolution set to 1024 x 768, uses 56k dialup (although this is changing) , and has a mediocre understanding of web-technology at best.

As for me, I rather liked I.E. back when it was useable. I was required to have only ONE browser on my machine, not three. (Some sites work in Netscape, but not in Mozilla, some only in Opera..) I was sure that most of the sites I would visit would work, without displaying pesky errors or other virtually useless information. but alas, those days are gone. I’ve resigned myself though to the fact that because I.E. is the common denominator, that it’ll probably never be as secure as we’d like it…. so all I can say at this moment is, “Go Mozilla Plugin Devlopers, Go!”

Yeah, you’re telling me..

The only problem I have found is when tuning into my favorite internet radio station, http://www.kexp.org. Whilst listening to streaming archives over any point during the past two weeks, the track and artist information does not update. I’m not sure if they’re using active-x or what, but it’s the only drawback i’ve seen thus far.

Even IF they fix I.E., I may never go back , assuming I can work this problem out…

Pop-up program fetches banking data http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5251981.html%5B/url%5D

Security Alert: A Trojan horse that installs itself through a pop-up ad can read keystrokes and steal passwords when victims visit any of nearly 50 targeted banking sites–including Citibank, Barclays Bank and Deutsche Bank–security researchers warned yesterday. Microsoft said IE users should raise security settings to high until the company issues a patch. Two other IE flaws, which Microsoft has yet to fix, were used recently in two other hacking schemes, one last week that turned some Web sites into points of digital infection (http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105_2-5248279.html?tag=nl%5B/url%5D), and another, earlier in the month, that installed a toolbar on victims’ computers that triggered pop-ups. This latest program points to a trend in viruses and Trojan horses: Attackers are increasingly after money.
