Reflector tells me there is an internal property of Typeface named Symbol; this appears to be what I want. Why is it internal and not public Is there some other way to do this I real ...Show All

  Hello, I am trying to run a query in Excel VBA. The query has a left join with a two conditions -- every time I run it excel crashes. If I remove the brackets enclosing the two conditions, the query fails. The query itself is correct because if I run it directly in Oracle it works. Also I can run it thru excel via Date->Import External Data but not thru VBA. Also if I restrict myself to one condition instead of two it works thru VBA. Any one ...Show All

  Is there anyway to create an application that (when created) doesn't have a form For example, I would like to create an application that has an icon in the notification bar and have it so that when I double click it a settings form is created.
