Need XLS conversion-newbie

Hi. I need an alternate brain. Hubby set up my MacBookPro, also loading Microsoft Office 2004. When I am trying to open an Excel file, it says I don't have the right application to open it. I've been scouring around downloading a few fixes, (Keynote, MacOSXUpdCombo, Office2004-1156 update) and nothing is working to open the file. Some of these cannot even be loaded on my MacBook. What am I missing? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
PS. I am running OSX v. 10.6.6

If the files are, as you suggest, XLSX, there is a converter for XLSX files available for free from Microsoft, here. It's not perfect, but it works for most Excel files.
Regards.

    2. The major purpose is to get a simplest way to create a parameterized function who can return a table like output. 2nd function has no use instead i was testing the result of First Function like thisIf you just want to select from a select, you should use a view not a function.
    1. which program is more help ful for writing and executing queries bcoz after using Query Analyzer of Microsoft It seems difficult to work on SQL Developer.
    sqlplus? If you are having difficulty learning new tools because of an old one you used, probably best to forget the old one and concentrate on learning the new one because it will be different. This goes for the database itself also.
    2. Can DMLs be used within a Function.Yes, you just can't execute the function in another SQL statement if it modifies data and this is a good thing.
    3. Can temporary tables be used within a function.Unfortunately yes, but they shouldn't be unless you are in a slowest application competition.
    5. Each Function which is a Table Function must be accompanied with Type Definitions?? its a bit longer way of doing the things than SQL ServerThat is why it is better to use views instead, is there any reason you want a select that you can select from inside a function?
    SQL Server for last 9 years thats why i refer this toolThat is not in itself a problem, if you try and do what you did in SQLServer in Oracle, that will be a problem though.

    If the inbound structure has less fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
    ○ ignore
    Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
    ○ add
    Outbound structure contains all fields from the configuration; the fields missing in the inbound structure are empty.
    ○ error
    Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
    2. NameA.additionalLastFields
    If the inbound structure has more fields than specified in the configuration then the XML outbound structure is created as follows:
    ○ ignore
    Outbound structure only contains the fields in the inbound structure
    ○ error
    Conversion is terminated due to the incomplete inbound structure. An error message is displayed.
    The default value is ignore. If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter, the default value is error.
    If you have defined the NameA.fieldFixedLengths parameter and do not set either of the parameters described above, apart from the default values, the conversion routine works the same as described under Handling Structure Deviations.
    Only once you set one of the two parameters will the other parameter be evaluated with its default value.
    To ensure a well-defined runtime behavior for variable inbound structures, we recommend that you always set both parameters.

    I am attempting to add some simple email functionality to a small utility
    program I am writing in Delphi for my school. We have used Groupwise for

    What player are you referring to? Is it Creative PlayCenter 2? Playcenter doesn't save any special extension to the files. It uses all the standard extension. eg. jpg,txt.... Not sure what you are trying to say.

  • Why does an iPhone 6  60p clip need rate conversion?

    When I take clips with an iPhone 6+, they are supposedly taken in 60p (if enabled in "Settings"). When I import such a clip to FCP, it is reported as 60i. I also see this with every other high-res clips, such as the ones taken from a Sony RX-100: They show as 50i, but are 50p.
    (Sorry, the labels are in German.)
    I manually set the field dominance to "progressive", because that's what it is.
    You may notice the strange dimension: iOS 8.0 had a bug that sometimes locked the direction sensor. This particular clip was shot with the bug active. The phone was held horizontally, but the clip is marked as having been recorded vertically.
    The project (timeline) is 60p:
    Now comes the tricky part: Every clip from the iPhone requires a rate conversion:
    Why is this the case? Both clip and timeline are 60fps.
    The same does not happen with a 50p timeline and 50"i" material from the Sony RX100.

    I have a Verizon Wireless phone so there is no SIM card. I did call apple and they had me restore it in DFU mode. It still pops up as activation required at least once a day.

  • Any need for conversation from big endian and little endian?

    Hi,
    I am planning to migrate an Oracle 9i Database on AIX 5.3 to Oracle 11g R2 Windows 2008, and have planned to use transportable tablespace. But prior to that task is the conversation required from big endian and little endian using RMAN?
    Appreciate any suggestions, comments and hints
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Check V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM, it shows the ending for each supported platform. Given the results on my 11g, I suspect that you'll have to convert the tablespaces...

  • Need some advice - Newbie starting an advertising business..

    Hello,
    I am new to Indesign, having used quark previously.
    Basically i print and publish an advertisment magazine. I create these advertisements from scratch or in some cases from logos i am sent by the clients via email.
    I need to understand whether the logo's sent by the clients need to be in a certain format in order for them to be used in Indesign?
    How difficult is it to manipulate imported images using indesign?
    Thanks
    Don

    Indesign supports quite an array of image formats, the most common illustator/photoshop .eps files .tif png. jpg. If your printing as you know .eps files are probably the best to use.
    Well I have always been lead to believe they are.
    If your putting together a set of guidelines for your client I would say you request files are either supplied as illustrator .eps files or photshop .eps/psd files with a PDF for back up/reference. If you have the native files you can then edit the files accordingly if the client wishes.
    I used Quarkxpress for years 4.0 being the best to mind.
    After that it became bloatware and found it diffiicult to get along with. CS is a dream to use as all Photoshop/Indesign and illustrator
    utilise a very similar intuitive interface.
    I would also recommned lynda.com for tutorials in the creative suite. You get videos and exercise files to work with so you can learn at your own pace.
    Only ever havinig owned the DVDs I have never had a subscription. I'm sure there is a forum for feedback or anything that you do not understand.
    As well as the Adobe Forums.

  • JRE install help needed with linux newbie

    I recently tried installing the latest JRE for Linux AMD64, following all the guidelines listed in the install instructions. However, as I am completely new to the world of Linux, I don't know if anything needs to be done beyond the install guide in order to have the JRE up and running. I have tried setting up Open Office 2 to recognise the new JRE, but have had no luck. I don't know if this is a case of me not knowing the correct directory to give in Open Office, or whether I have missed something in the Install/Configuration.
    In case you need to know, the installation unpacked to "/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06"
    Thank you,

  • Need Hex conversion to char for 4 digits.

    I need to read a file in and translate some of the characters into integers. I need the hex value from the character. Problem is, when using Cp850 which is the encoding of the file, some characters show as ? instead of the proper character.
    A simple output shows the problem where only 4 digit hex values will not appear correctly. You can view the character set and values at the following URL http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/oem/850.htm
    Here is a simple app to show the problem.
    public class EncodingTest {
         public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
              String encoding = "Cp850"; //args[ 0 ];
              byte[] b = new byte[256];
              for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
                   b[i] = (byte)i;
              byte c[] = new byte[1];
              String x = new String(b, encoding);
              for (int i = 0; i < x.length(); i++) {
                   c[0] = b;
                   if (x.charAt(i) != i)
                        System.out.println(i + " -> " + (int)x.charAt(i) + "->" + (new String(c, encoding)));
    How to I get character 176 for example to show correctly? I tried to post the output from the app but all of the characters showed as ?.

    Well, if you want to convert int or char values to hex, just do the following:
    Integer.toHexString(int value);
    Now, about your charset problem, I tried it and found out that you will definetly not be able to print strange characters in DOS.
    I'll show you my example, it might help you; it prints out good in my computer...
    public class EncodingTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
            String encoding = "Cp850"; //args[ 0 ];
            byte[] b = new byte[256];
            for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
                b[i] = (byte) i;
            byte c[] = new byte[1];
            String x = new String(b, encoding);
            for (int i = 0; i < x.length(); i++) {
                c[0] = b;
    if (x.charAt(i) != i)
    System.out.println(i + " -> " + Integer.toHexString((int)x.charAt(i)) + "-> " + (int)x.charAt(i) + "->" + (char) i + "->" + (new String(c, encoding)));

  • Working with Raw-need a conversion and image sizing program

    Shot in Raw with Finepix S100. I need to convert to 16bit Tiff RGB and reduce image size to 4000x3000 for Final cut pro use.   After converting my Raw to 16Bit-Tiff, my images are 5440x4080.   FP does not like anything larger than 4000x3000 .  
    The program one I am currently using came with the camera. It is time consuming, sluggish and refuses to forces me down to 8 bitTiff  when I image size down to 4000x3000.
    Can someone suggest an app or program that can convert to 16 bit-Tiff  and also reduce image size?
    Thanks,

  • Separate tablespaces - Need some assistance - Newbie

    We want to have a Development tablespace and a Production tablespace on a single database. We will be using mostly Forms applications, and Portal to access and manipulate information on the database. The problem that we are trying to figure out right now is how to have these tablespaces be on the same database with the same table names not conflict with each other.
    If I am developing an application and I want to use the development tablespace how can I do this while still allowing myself an easy transition to the production tablespace. For example, if I have a table named "test" and I want to access it in the development area I am thinking that I would have to do the following:
    select * from dev.test
    and then once the program is changed then change all the instances of dev to prod:
    select * from prod.test
    Is it possible to have 1 DB and 2 seperate enviornments within it? What is the best way to approach this???

    The best way to accomplish this would be to create a second instance, preferably on a second server.
    If resources do not allow this, then it means a lot of work for the dba:
    1. drop all public synonyms related to the application.
    2. revoke all priviledges from developers to the production data schema.
    3. for each production user create private synonyms for the db objects against the production schema.
    4. for each developer create private synonyms for the db objects against the development schema.
    Creating private synonyms, will allow the developers to work on the app and not have to change the code for rollout. Revoking privs of the developers from the prod schema is for accident prevention. If the developers need to run against the production schema create them a second account with a prod prefix to force them to know where they are e.g.
    user smithj <- dev account
    user prodsmithj <- production account
    If in doubt about any of this see my first statement.
