    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]

    Re: what happened

    What happened was the ususal:

    Owner undertakes major maintenance on live forum. No advance notification of either Admin nor moderators. We were all groping in the dark as much as you were.

    cheers,

    Re: what happened

    This was scheduled maintenance to remedy the problems with slowness, etc & shouldn't have lasted that long. I knew about the maintenance which was planned for early yesterday morning (UK), unfortunately, Vai has now let me know that there was extensive problems & the whole database had to be repaired. This wasn't foreseen & couldn't have been notified.
    Hope that helps.

    Re: what happened

    Still, some kind of advance notice from Vai to at least the moderators would have been useful. As it was, the regulars as well as the moderators encountered error messages with no explanation about what was going on.

    Ah, well...

    Re: what happened

    Hi,

    I sometimes used this forum that suddenly went "off air" about mid June - no warning - and still hasn't come back on - probably won't now

    Re: what happened

    You're right Roy, is it a sub-forum of/owned by MrExcel?

    Re: what happened

    I don't know. I haven't heard anything of Anne for a long while. I believe she received Word MVP, but that's the last i heard. I know she was ill at one time.

    Re: what happened

    Send a PM to Nate Oliver, Van Pookie or Zack Barese.. they probably know something about it... all seem related to the 2 forums somehow...

    I wanted to do this, but I knew I'd get some threads started and wouldn't be able to carry them through effectively.

    I know! It's lucky I've got work to do, or I don't know how I'd cope with only 4 of my regular forums available!
