Hi Guys, Thanks for your help. With support having long since gone, I suspect getting an appropriate x64 license willbe virtually impossible. Ah well, never mind.

Hello all, Has anyone had any experience of running Solid Edge v18 on a Windows XP x64? We have a box which we tried to install it on but it whinges about not being able to find a valid licence whereas we've had no problems in the past on 32-bit XP. Any experiences? Thanks :)

He shouldn't have been... It's a bit of a funny situation really. We have trained this particular user to do exploded drawings and doesn't have a clue how to do anything else so i'd be surprised if he even managed to find the parts library let alone know what to do with a part.

Ah ha!! Spot on PellaKen :) Never thought to look there. Thanks for your help guys.

Hello all, How can I save data in MS Office applications using VBA. Now I realise how stupid this sounds at first glance, so let me elaborate.... I want to store essentially hidden data so that users are unaware of it an therefore cannot fiddle. MS Word has the ability to use variables...

I'll give that a try. Unfortunately the user in question has a habit of breaking all the PCs he touches in every conceivable way so i'm sort of inclined to leave him to it!! For my sanity however, I am going to try and sort this :) Thanks for your help beachcomber.

Thanks for your reply beachcomber. Yes it happens for every assembly but only for this one particular user. I already checked the file locations for any references to A: :) I'll have a look at link management but no one has this set so i'd be surprised!! Thanks

Hello all, I am getting strange behaviour with one of our users. Everytime he opens an assembly, they get a prompt asking for a floppy disk in A: drive. When you put the disk in nothing happens - there is no indication on the screen and nothing gets written to the disk. I am using SE v18...

That seems to do the trick. Thanks :)

Thanks, but it didn't seem to work. I have the code in ThisWorkbook module as I need this code to run on every worksheet!! I cannot believe other people have not wanted to do a similar thing?

I want to dynamically update some information in a excel spreadsheet but I cannot seem to find a suitable event to trigger my code. When I enter data into a cell and then change selection, I want to run some code that picks up the data in the cell I just typed into. Playing around, I have...

Ah! of all the obvious mistakes to make!! Thanks Todd :)

I am writing a macro for excel that will retrieve some data from an access database but am having some difficulty with the connection code. What is supposed to happen is a connection is made when the worksbook is opened and sets a global variable which is used when the selection changes. The...

Excellent, thanks Don. Your're a star :)

After a crash, SolidEdge v18 now refuses to show the window that displays after you use the inspect menu to measure distance, angle etc... I have tried re-installing and the latest SP but nothing can get the window back. Anyone had this before? Thanks
