Very thoughtful of Microsoft and they should be congratulated for making it easier for folks to begin to convert over from Java taught in most lower level college classes. Also anyb ...Show All

• Visual Basic Intellisense Problem

  I have a problem with the autocomplete feature of Visual Studio 2005. When I use VS2005 for an extended period of time the code editor starts to behave very strange.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA Mail Merge Question

  This past week, I wrote a bit of VBA code to help me automate mail merges with Word and Excel.

I have 10 Word documents. The documents never change. For each document, I wrote a query that pulls the mailing information fr ...Show All

To do this Outlook would have to be started programatically with no UI and the service would make ca ...Show All
