Hey it looks like you are trying to reset your password and can't because your email address in your account is no longer valid and you have no way of getting the email verification.

Send me your new email address to Joe at B4Print dot com.

Quote from: Tracy on Today at 12:37:14 PMthe template that was created for the badges
has this big ol fat type for the Names and titles etc.. but the Title and company names are really long.
I have a feeling they are going to have me split the Titles/Names up.
Once they request you to split them up is when you tell them to split them up and send you a new file. (I can say that now)  :P

Quote from: born2print on April 25, 2024, 10:44:22 AMJust reached out to server team dude, I know we had to do this before but I can't remember if we went to 2019? I'm pretty sure we are >= 2016 because of that time...

Can you just not go to the Prinergy server to see what it is running?

My replacement didn't last for 3 months after I left.

Quote from: DCurry on April 24, 2024, 01:09:50 PMI'm still not clear on how Pitstop would help. If you're just doing a search it seems like it is more work than just using Acrobat search.
I think the action report would give you what pages they are on while Acrobat search you would just to search for each time it appears and write down the page numbers as you go.

But as abc said, "If it appears as individual characters you can merge to words/lines depending on what you are searching for" so you would have to fix each instance if the text is individual characters or even individual words...or maybe if they were individual words it would still find it. Can't check because...no Pitstop.

If you change your data validation to what is shown below and your cells are filled with 0.00 if the data validation fails, like if someone enters a letter, when you clear the error the cell will return the value to 0.00. It will make the cell blank if they have that cell selected and hit backspace or delete but really since the cell returns the value to 0.00 there is really no reason for them to hit backspace. Of course making anything idiot proof is impossible but that might help.

I don't have Excel but I did the same with Libra Office and if you remove the formula because as I see it you don't need it because you can set the format for those cells like this for two decimal places.

Then under Data Validation set it like this.

If you enter a letter you will get an error. If you delete or back space it will only delete the data as there is no formula but it will not delete the data validation.

Quote from: DigiCorn on April 19, 2024, 09:15:02 AMI have a spreadsheet I'm creating in Excel to track jobs through the shop. In it I have some formulas to math for me. Problem is, it's really easy to accidentally delete or erase the formula and screw up the cell, so is there a way (without locking or requiring a password) to protect the formula inside that cell so it doesn't lose it's format and can still be typed in to? I know how to lock it, but then you can't add any new information, and the only other trick I know requires a password every time you want to add new information. Also, without the use of a 3rd party plug-in, is there a way to make a cell have a date finder calendar?
Why would anyone need to type into the cell that has the formula? If they need to change the data they should change the values of the cell the formula is based upon.
