Hi Paul, could you expand on your kind response, the restore will be after I replace the HD…..Thank you mojave1

You need a backup program recovery CD / USB to boot from – same software as you used to backup.
Then you need the backup files, probably on an external hard disk.
Run the backup program and follow the restore steps.

cheers, Paul

And as I recall a backup program recovery CD must be generated from or with the subject computer??

Thanks Paul…

Hi To All,

Thanks for the responses, Paul, so to be for sure, for sure, the back ups I’ve religiously performed (w/system image) actually backs up the OS software? If so, then after replacing the HD, restoring the will be accomplished via the USB peripheral HD, correct?

Thanks for the insight….mojave1

Thank you…..

Hi RetiredGeek,

I made several attempts to execute the steps as outlined and immediately after step 5 I receive the follwoing error message: “The extract range has a missing or illegal field name”, any suggestions? To be clear I am using Excel 2010 and I highleted the range “Sheet1 A2:E3350″……

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi RetiredGeek,

Firsrt, my apology for addressing my last reply to “Retired Greek”…..to clarify the request for any row that contains a “F” or failure I would like to copy that entire row to a new worksheet within the same work book, if possible I’d like to do this with a formula so that as the +10,000 lines or rows of data grows the identification and transfer of rows with an “F” would occur without my intervention or attention. Sorry for the faux paux and confusion…

Marty

Hi Retired Greek,

I was hoping you would respond…as you have helped me out before. Thank you, I will gives this a try, although I thought using a formula in lieu of advanced filter would be easier.

I’ll give it a shot…

Marty

Retired Greek,many thanks….really helped out!!Regards,Marty

Thank you for the immediate response; I need to locate the 100 four digit numbers contained or shown in column 1, in column 2 and its companion or associated number in column 3…..then copy the results in any column to the right on the same worksheet…Thanks again….Marty

Martin,

a little slow on the thanks…working toooo much, but thank you!!

Marty

Hey Martin,

an excel sheet with data and the subject formula or code showing the results, makes for an easy reference when searching for a solution…thanks for your response…

Marty

For us programming plebes on the lower rungs of the excel formulas/programming food chain an example or sample worksheet would prove to be very instructive!!

Regards,
Marty

RG,

excellent!!! you took the bait, so as I trudge through the VBA learning curve I will expect with great certainty your continuous and wise help!!!!

Have a great weekend…

Marty

Hi RG,

my sentiments exactly…..it came up as a result of assessing whether I should use excel or word for a customer survey…..seems I have too much time on my hands!!! By the way I noticed that you are fluent in VBA, how long did it take for you to achieve fluency??

Thanks again….

Marty

Hi Charles,

who would have thought….for the form to function one must first lock/protect it…..sure would be nice if this info appeared in MS’s help page!!!

Thanks again…
