Hi everyone. I got a tricky question: Can i use parts of a filename in a field with MS Word? Lets say i got this file located at: c:\examplefolder\12345 Projectname\template.doc This is what i want to do: extract the projectnumber: "12345" and "Projectname" to two separate fields for later use. I can get the whole filename, with path if i use the "FileName"-field, but can i edit or split the data (maybe fields within a field) without a macro? Since we always use the same structure, it would be possible to extract the data with maybe a "Template"-field? /cheers, KlingKlang

Hey Jaclaz! If someone still has problem with failing drives and need a serial-to-TTL i found this little puppy! This would have saved me some cash at least. It seems like that the regular Usb-to-RS232 (serial) is at first TTL and then converted to serial signals with the Max213. By solder some wires to these tiny tiny pins, you can get the TTL-signal before converted. Hacking the Usb-to-serial is here: http://yd0nxx.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/hacking-usb-serial-adapter/ Datasheet for the Max213 is here: http://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/228755/MAXIM/MAX213ECAI.html This is for the Profilic Usb-to-serial-adapter, but it is maybe the same for different manufacturer, or at least same concept? If possible, you maybe can move this to the beginning of the thread?

But how should i do the repair in windows, if i can't access windows? Live-CD like Hiren's boot cd? I have so many programs, which take several hours to install, so if i can avoid it i would be great. I didn´t know that i wasn't allowed to use same OS on two computer at a time. But i won't buy another Windows 7 if it doesn't work, so i need to verify it first.

So, one of my laptops crashed some weeks. Since i always does backups and Ghosts of my computer regularly, restoring the crashed computer isn't normally a problem until now. Because i didn't want to buy yet a new laptop which becomes outdated quick, i decided to buy a stationary one. The problem is this: When i restore my ghost to my new hard drive, the computer won't boot since all hardware configuration is for my laptop. The computer boots to the windows logo screen and then BSOD and reboot. What i want to do: Install windows 7 on top of the non-working windows 7 to re-write the hardware configuration to the new computers hardware. Is this possible or how should i proceed with this matter? Is there a way to fix this issue? /Regards, KlingKlang
