On occasion

You to FD, been snowed at work though. Just did not have the energy to post. It is great to comeback and help someone with a problem, even though I still need help myself sometimes.

Real life interferes with all of us LOL

Absolutely!!! And you are Admin now, I hope it is not too much work?

It has it's moments, and the pay is great (not)

Can't post again. WTF

Can someone please tell me why can't post n the VBA section, but can in the water cooler?

I can't post here,

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...worksheet.html

I am trying to update some code I left out and it won't let me post.

Error say I can't post HTML code. I am not even trying to post HTML code.

Hi Dave,

New management - new screwups

Looks like the forum is down again.

JD, I just posted to that thread with out a problem. I must say that of late, I have noticed that VBUL doesnt seem to like the > or < signs if used together, could that be the problem?

Can you post here and I can try and copy it to there?

It won't let me post even short code WITHOUT code tags.

Edit: I took out the symbol you suggested. And I was able to post.

But does me no good as the code below is now incorrect because I need the greater than symbol in front of TODAY

EDIT 2: This is the entire code without the symbol.

But it will let me post "<" here, but not in code.

If it is like some other sites you only need the space after the < symbol (and claimed only if followed by a non-numeric character but I have never tested this).
A bit strange though as I thought it only happened when Html was allowed but obviously not.

It should only apply to the < symbol and not the > symbol.

I've also had problems recently with the angle brackets - try it with a space either side of the symbol.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, that seemed to do it.

@ JapanDave
Just lurked in passing this Thread.... so Just a minor bit of passing Info...

The problem you had ( with < ) is probably one of the strange combinations of characters that the Scurri Security thing blocks ( and typically says something about a HTML problem, as you experienced ).
It Comes up a lot, for example:

http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...xcelforum.html
( and I expect like many of ExcelForum’s problems it has been here ages, long before my time...I just lurked a few old threads from 4 years ago! Seen a few problems I thought were just in the last year or so......

.........--)

_.....................................................
Anyways,
In your particular case it appears the “magic” combination that cause the problem is a combination of a < and 4 characters . These characters can be any combination of numbers and "normal" characters.
A space after the < will cure it and also:.......

_(i) A Space anywhere in the 5 character total
< Today
<T oday
<To day
<Tod ay

<123 4
< 1234
<1 234
<12 34
<123 4

or
_(ii) an "unusual character", for example % & * etc. – The [ is a good one to consider..
<Tod[ay

That last one leading to the "Black Colour Trick"
<Today
-this one above was made to look in the Forum Editor as
<Tod[COLOR="#000000"]a[/COLOR]y
Or
<Tod[COLOR=black]a[/COLOR]y

In other words i made the colour of __a__ black

_ - the “space trick” is good in a code window, - as when you copy the code to a VB Editor Code Window the VB Editor will usually take the space out.
_ - the “black colour trick” is the one to go for if you want to show and allow to be copied something exactly as you have it in the Forum Editor.. – as when your copy, you just get what you see, not the BB Code bit that makes the black colour.

Just a bit passing info, may help in the future..
