Orange HTC Desire and Tethering

Since buying my Archos 101 Tablet, I have not been able to tether it via wireless, bluetooth or USB to my HTC Desire.  This morning I came across a solution, so I thought I would share it with you.

Import Excel file

Here is some sample code to import a Microsoft Excel file, rather than a CSV file.  I was looking for some sample code to help release the task on the server.

Chrome Extensions

Welcome to my new blog !!

Phew!  Finally finished the copying of my blog from Lotus Notes based, into Google.

Months as text

Below is some useful code I have used many times.  This allows you to take a date field and display the month of the field.  I have used this in categorised columns many times for many years.  You have to make sure that if the month number is less than 10 that you prepend a "0", otherwise the month of 11 would become "JanuaryJanuary". 

Get week commencing date

Unhide Design

I have a number of templates where a rogue developer has locked the design and has lost the templates (or won't share them). 

There is a solution to unhide the design.

1. Make a local copy of the database
2. Ensure you have manager or designer rights.
3. Open up the .nsf file in a hexadecimal editor.
4. Change address 000000BC from the hexadecimal code 20 to 00.
5. Save the .nsf file. 

This does not seem to work with 8.5.1
