I still remember the first time I was exposed to VisiCalc on an HP64 in about 1982 and was blown away by what it could do. If I remember correctly, "/RT" (Range / Titles) was the way to freeze panes.

It was easy to do at that point, since both versions were the same. Yes, I stuck with the Mac until Word 6.0, then gradually switched to Windows.

Both issues are in Windows 7; I've tried changing folder permissions but it doesn't work; Have any idea? Thanks your help. Hi Debra;

I’ve been getting the “read only” error; I have a VB.Net App and Access DB; but my problems are:

1) Due to complex queries I decided to have SQL Server-Linked tables in Access, the issue is that a linked table name is changed inside default folder folder, but if you move the file outside (ie. desktop) the name is changed again. shown the correct table name.

2)Is similar to the first one; but in this case the “read only” warning is shown.

Both issues are in Windows 7; I’ve tried changing folder permissions but it doesn’t work;

Have any idea? Thanks your help.

Did purchase a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse package (MK520) about six months ago. It comes with a M310 mouse... http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Mouse-M310-Silver/dp/B003I4FHNA/ I have been happy with it, but had to use the, supplied, extension cord to position the transmitter near the mouse / keyboard.
