there being no events on my Calendar [On My Computer]. Instead all my

I've always entered date as yy-mm-dd. In fact when I want to enter Aug 28, 2005, I would only need to enter "5-8-28".

OK, since Filemaker 8 databases cannot be connected directly with Excel, how
in God¹s name do I connect them?? I downloaded the iODBC driver, the
FileMaker driver (from www.filemaker.com/odbc), but I keep getting an error

I have a worksheet that formatted with text in each cell, left aligned
and vertically aligned to the top. It is scaled to 86%. The text is set
to wrap. I also set it to indent 1 space. (But I have tried it without

I just switched to an iBook from my windows machine and I use excel
quite heavily.  I had an msn moneycentral stock quote download function
plugin, is there a similar plugin for the mac version?  I haven't been

Whenever I open a spreadsheet stored on my Snap Server (NAS) and try to
save it. I get an error message telling me that the file can't be
found.  If  I close it, the file on the server will be replaced by a

Excel file on the Mac and then move it to a PC, I can open the ...
