AskWoody PlusRight click the Windows flag (bottom left corner) and select “Disk Management”. Does the disk show up?
cheers, Paul
I do get an ‘initialize disk’ dialog box however
I am hesitant to do anything with this. Would I erase what’s on the disk if I initialized?
thanks. -

AskWoody Plus1. Set Quick-Access toolbar above ribbon
2. Minimize ribbonYou’ve touched a sore point with me. The ribbon is by far the STUPIDEST thing Microsoft ever did. I want toolbars I can control both their size and location. What a pain in the ass the ribbon is!!!!!
Thanks. I’d rather get used to a new QA location than lose the territory.
BTW, windows versions before XP and Windows 8 get my vote -
John Palmer
AskWoody PlusThank you so much for your efforts.
Works perfectly and a real time saver.
Thanks. -
John Palmer
AskWoody PlusThanks for the info!
A second thought: If I have the server mapped as the Z: drive, does that count as 3 characters or does the complete string (\192.168.61.5Projects) count as 24 characters?
Thanks.

AskWoody PlusThanks!
My data has headers, so I changed it to:
=AVERAGEIF(C:C,ROW()-1,B:B)And for my purposes, the first 52 weeks of the year will suffice

John Palmer
AskWoody PlusThanks!
BTW, your revision turned up an error in my typing in the dates, so DOUBLE THANKS!

AskWoody Pluswow.
THANKS! -

AskWoody PlusThanks.
However, it doesn’t seem to make any difference whether “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” is unchecked or checked. There is no apparent change in behavior. -

AskWoody PlusRight click on the C drive in Windows explorer and select properties. Click on the security tab. What permissions are set when you highlight Administrators and Users?
BINGO!
That was it. Don’t know how permissions got changed, but they’re back where they were
Thanks! -

AskWoody Plusno to dual boot question
attached file has screen shots of (1) error message that I get when clicking on the C: drive in windows explorer and (2) the folder settings (I reset to defaults)
Also, this is an office laptop that has been used by others lately, so I’m not sure what changes may have been made.
Thanks

AskWoody PlusThanks to all. Since the dataset is reasonable small, my workaround is to visually check the ones that don’t have the correct date and then search and replace the excel date number; e.g., 40365.
