How to repair xls file? Microsoft Excel report me what file is not Excel format.

I need help again(( i have .xls file that cannot be opened by Excel. It reports that this file is not excel format. Can i recover it?

When an Excel file is corrupted, then you can try several methods to recover it:
1. First of all, you can try to repair the file manually in Excel, as follows:
(1) On the File menu, click Open.
(2) In the Open dialog box, select the file you want to open, and click the arrow next to the Open button.
(3) Click Open and Repair, and then choose which method you want to use to recover your workbook.

2. Second, since Excel 2003, it provides a "Document Recovery" mechanism so that when Excel is shutdown abnormally, the Excel file being edited will be recovered when Excel is launched next time, which makes the file recovery possible.

3. If 1 and 2 does not work, then you may try third-party tools such as DataNumen Excel Repair at

It provides a free demo version so that you can try to see if the data you want can be recovered or not.
Good luck!

How are the c:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\File System\vol_ directories locked down?

Hi,
Even as an administrator on the DPM server, I cannot drill down into subdirectories of c:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\File System\vol_ . . For example: c:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\Replica\File System\vol_9fd89f55-92d7-469b-9196-c7d5e0d07943\2401168f-0a90-46ff-b719-9aa6bf817c5f\Full\.
I get access is denied. I think this is by design, that DPM is designed to only allow access to these files through the interface.
Is that true?
Would there be ANY way for someone to gain access to these files, either from the DPM server itself, or from <DPMServer>\c$?
Thanks,
Casie

Hi,
In most cases you can access them from an administrative command prompt. If you still get access denied you perform the following:
1)      Download psexec.exe from
www.sysinternals.com
2)      Run PSEXEC -s cmd.exe   (this will switch window to system context)
3)      Afterwards - type WHOAMI it should return:
                  nt authority\system
4) Now CD to the replica volume under program files\Microsoft DPM\DPM\Volumes\replica\...

How to repair Datebook.dat and Address.dat files on a PC?

Hi again,
Waiting I can install again the Palm Desktop on my new laptop (see my previous post), I tried to recover my data from Datebook.dat and Address.dat files on another machine (also PC XP Pro). The Palm Desktop program installation went well but:
Any data older than 2 years (address and agenda) are correctly read, but the newer ones look empty. Actually I already changed of laptop 2 years ago, and I had to move the Datebook and Address files to be able to open them with the Palm Desktop. After that I had no problem and all my data were read (old and new ones).
I opened the Datebook.dat and Address.dat files with the PC notepad, and I could see some data from 2 weeks ago, thus they are not lost. So I guess the old and new records are not exactly formatted in the same way, and for a strange reason, the Palm Desktop cannot read the newer ones.
I forgot to tell you my Palm 515 is dead (so I cannot Hotsync with the new laptop), and my former laptop HDD crashed (so I cannot run the Palm Desktop on it anymore).
That's why I'm looking for a PC program able to "repair" Datebook.dat and Address.dat files. I read on several forums that DBscan and DBfix could do the job for me, but they run on PalmOS, and I don't have a Palm anymore...
A program extracting the data to a CVS file could be OK (even if I have to spend some time on Excel later on), but it must understand the old and the new records.
Thanks for any help you could bring me.

Have you tried the following procedure?
You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;

For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

How can I fix the Microsoft Error Reporting?

I don't remember this problem occurring so often with OS X 10.5. Frequently (approximately 8 times out of 10), when I try to shut down the computer, I get the error message "The application Microsoft Error Reporting canceled shut down". This problem occurs with my MacBook (that I mostly use), but also with my iMac. A subsequent box says: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience". I then usually click the button to send a report to Microsoft and shut down my computer. I have tried disk utility's repair permissions, but the problem still carries on.
I've ignored this for a while, because it just takes a couple of extra clicks to shut down. I also thought the next Microsoft update would solve it (I have version 12.2.5), but - no change. I hope it's not some kind of Microsoft virus...

Thank you for the link. The problem is solved now. Word cancelling shut down was caused by EndNote's "cite while you write" function. I've disabled it now and Word works fine.

Consolidating Library Error: File Name Too Long, But What File?

I am trying to consolidate my library to put all my music (very unorganized) in one spot so I can back it all up. When I try to consolidate, it takes a second to prepare, then immediately brings up an error window saying "Copying Music Failed. The file name was invalid or too long."
How do I fix this? I really would like to back up my music!

Hi, ZeroGravity107.
This can be a tricky problem to figure out since iTunes doesn't specify what file name is "invalid or too long" and there's no documentation on what determines if a file name is "invalid or too long".
We had one user report that he was able to use his/her keen eyesight to note the last file that appeared before the error message appeared and it turned out that file was the cause of his/her trouble.
If your eyesight isn't that keen, I'd suggest concentrating on the file name being too long possibility.
The entire directory path leading to the file is considered part of the file name so, as an example, iTunes' default settings might place a particular file at C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\artist folder\album folder\whatever.m4a.
Is the directory path leading to your consolidated location much longer than that?
polydorus has suggested a way to look over your file names: Assuming your music is currently in the default location, make your way there with Windows Explorer and select List in the View menu menu and see if anything stands out as being unusual.

How to save excel report as CSV file with ActiveX

Hi,
I'm trying to save my excel test report as a CSV file using ActiveX and I'm having difficulty getting started. I can't find an invoke node method that enables CSV file conversion.
Can anyone shed light on this? See attached screenshot.
Thanks

As long as you are using the Report Generation Toolkit, there is no need to use ActiveX for the purpose of saving the Excel file -- Save Report will do that for you. You can then export (as text) all of the Excel data and use the Write Spreadsheet File to make the .CSV file. Here is how I would rewrite the final bits of your code --
I cleaned up the wires around Excel Easy Table a bit. You'll see I made a VI Icon for Replace Filename, which does (I think) a nicer job of self-documenting than showing its Label. To make the filename, add the correct extension (.xlsx for Excel, .csv for CSV), use Build Path to combine Folder and Filename, and wire to Save Report.
The next two functions add the Extract Everything and Write to Spreadsheet, using a Comma as a separator, which makes a CSV copy for you.

How do you remove login/system startup daemons? What file can I edit?

I've upgraded to Leopard and removed Missing Sync application. But there's a daemon that launches when I start up or login.

Hi, justdaveillustrated.
Two things you can try:
First, if the matte is present while you're editing, you can try: Layer > Matting (all the way at the bottom) > Remove White Matte.
Second, if that doesn't work, you can give Blend If a shot:
Open your Layer Styles: Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options
At the bottom, you'll see the Blend If section. With your Alt/Option key held down, drag the left side of the Highlight slider (right slider) to the left. This will smoothly remove the white matte of that layer.
Let us know if you need any more help!

How to set a busy cursor when the excel report pops-up(in Excel)?

I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 and Report Generation Toolkit for MS Office to build a VI. at the end of each session when the data in a certain peroid of time was collected, the data will be transmmited to Excel report. the problem is during the poping-up of Excel report, if the cursor clicks inside Excel accidently, all the collected data will disappear and the blanks in Excel will no longer be filled automatically. I have tried to use Set Busy.vi, but it only works in VI panel, not in Excel. Will someone please help me?
thanks very much

Hi jingli,
For changing cursor appearance, you can visit another post on the forum:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RNAME=ViewQuestion&HOID=506500000008000000272E0000&ECategory=LabVIEW.LabVIEW+General
(search for mouse pointer appearance in this forum if the URL doesn't work)
Another suggestion would be setting the windows appearance to "minimum" when you open your Excel report (wire it at the New Report VI).

How to put Company logo in the report?

Hi,
How am i going to include the company logo or a image file into my report?
What is the best tools?
I have try to use the "Link File" tool and it required me to specify the "Source Filename". So if I put the file path and filename in the "Source Filename", it's hardcoded...
How to specify the "Source Filename" at run time or any otherway so that it won't hardcoded?
Regards,
Cheong

Note that you can also use the read from file functionality.
If you have a character based column, then any layout field based on this column will have the Read From File property. If this is set to Yes, then reports will attempt to use the value of the column to read a file from the file system. You can also specify the type of the file (image, text, or even an image URL to read an image from over the web).
For example, if you have a column in the data model that returns a value ("c:\temp\mypicture.bmp"), and you set the Read From File property to Yes, and the File Format to be Image then at runtime, reports would look for c:\temp\myimage.bmp and return the value. And of course, since you can create a formula column in the data model then you can control the returned value as much as you like.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Gui mode report in a file

how to i store a gui mode report in a file and print it..eg..i give a query select count(*) from emp...with
desname -> c:\myfile.txt
destype -> file
mode -> default
after the report runs and i check the file it has only some junk characters no readable output why...any suggestions
but if i give mode-> character it writes to a file..
also cant we give PRT filename in DESFORMAT
if destype is a file and mode-> default..
it complains invalid desformat used..but if mode is character it allows please clarify
null

Hello,
You didn't say what version of Reports, but likely you are using the bitmapped executable, which means you should explicitly set MODE=CHARACTER. As it is, it is defaulting to BITMAPPED, which means it is producing Postscript or PCL output.
As the documentation states, MODE=BITMAPPED means DESFORMAT contains the output type (PDF, RTF, etc.).
