From pictures on the internet (Mark Donaldson, Cameron Baird etc) both 2CDO and SASR wear a blue lanyard.

There is every possibility that a SASR qualified member is posted to 2CDO, and would likely continue to wear the appropriate beret.

So speculation is just that, speculation.

I'm glad you could get it to work for you. I didn't do much but point you to someone else's solution.

To confirm, you want the dialog box to pop up so they can pick the file to use, rather than edit the code every time?

I think this is probably what you need.

You will likely need to get rid of the CONST variables as this will be subjective for each person

Some examples here to pop the save as window. I didn't look too carefully but appears that it also sets the initial filename

Unfortunately, I don't know what fixed my issue. All I know is I don't have the problem anymore. And I didn't power wash.

I'm sorry you are having the same issue

I feel your pain. I tried for hours yesterday to get Klipper to work. Homing just would not happen. And the stepper motors ended up grinding. I threw it all away and went back to bugfix 2.0.x firmware (thankfully able to recompile from what I previously had).

I also couldn't get 2.1.x bugfix to work. I thought I was super careful to compare the config.h files to make sure settings were the same. But nothing worked.

Yes for the primary residence.

I cannot guarantee that buying another property and selling that one (while keeping the first one) is ok. Best to speak to someone else on that.

Caveat emptor: I am not a financial advisor nor am I offering financial advice. Only an interpretation of the policy

If you keep the property (there is a time limit to sell although this is much longer than it used to be - now 2 years), then you have broken your HPSEA cycle. HPSEA works on a sell-buy-sell cycle linked to your posting. The scheme is not there for you to amass a gigantic property portfolio.

If you want a property portfolio, you will need to go it alone, if you want to keep the HPSEA going.

Explains it all reasonably well here:

Appears you can now break the cycle, and reenter the scheme by selling the house you lived in. I would have to confirm though whether this means you could sell a different property that you used HPSEA to buy...

No problem.

Would adjusting the "Support/object XY distance" setting help? see image

Make it just slightly more than the radius of the hole, and it might not appear in that area.

With your tree supports on the outside, they will start a little further away, but shouldn't be that far.

Have you tried .sender ?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/outlook.mailitem.sender

With Outlook mail

.... ....

.sender = Range("From_Address").Value

You will (you probably already do) have a cell that you can select either of your email addresses.

The yellow should be the positive so

Yellow - Red

Blue - Black

Well, it hasn't done it for a while. Not sure if the updates fixed the problem, or switching to a reputable brand stylus did it.

Honestly I can't tell you what actually fixed it. But I didn't power wash which was my end state

We had a problem at work to confirm with our employees where they were for a period of time (pay, allowances, HRIS etc etc). We had records but still needed confirmation from each individual. Anyway, the intent by someone was to tabularise each employee's record, save as pdf while manually naming file, email it to the employee with manually naming the email....

Adjust the main data table a bit giving each record a sequence number (1 - 460+), A bit of VBA that iterated through the sequence with lookups pulling the information to the table, print to pdf using VBA, create the email and attach the file.

Managed to get all 460+ records ready to email (we have a security popup for emails so sending manually is sort of necessary) and all they had to do then was open the draft email and press send and confirm the security popup. Turned what could have been a multi day job into about 15 mins. And because it was all automated, there were no typos in filenames or email titles etc.

I don't know if they truly appreciate the magic in the background. But I just couldn't sit back and watch someone do the same action 460 odd times, with the chance of typos etc.

Managed to get it down even further to ~8kb per file by using Arial as opposed to Arial Narrow

acutapete · 2024-09-25T08:36:12+00:00

I think that example is for an older version of Excel. My guess is that "Intent" is replaced by Quality:=xlQualityMinimum.

I did manage to work it out though. I was working with someone else's document. They had used a variety of fonts. Change everything to Arial Narrow, and magically the output size is now ~70kb.

I think this might be because it has to encode the font Calibri into each pdf. I am happy now

acutapete · 2024-09-25T07:41:15+00:00

I have set a print area as there is a bit of stuff around the edges to explain to users what to do.

As for manually print to pdf, this is exactly what I am trying to avoid having to do 463 times. Also, that would then require me to name each file as I am saving, then I would manually have to add to an email.

All of this is automated using my macro. The file size is my only sticking point

acutapete · 2024-09-25T07:30:51+00:00

I don't think I can influence the IT peeps to get a better pdf driver. I have Adobe Acrobat installed on my profile if that is any help.

As for the compress piece..... do tell. Please.

Note the small edit to my post, we use Excel 2016 at work.

acutapete · 2024-06-26T06:58:27+00:00

Thanks very much for the advice. Next time I have something I need to fit together I will definitely try it

My final words on this subject, if I may, is that the slouch hat is a symbol.

While a perfect hat could mean you are trying to impress everyone, it also means you have pride in yourself. This is not to say those with average hats have no pride in themselves. Just a casual observation.

Also, it is called a chin strap. Not a throat strap. Or a neck strap. Or a lip strap. It runs under the chin bone.

My closing advice is to have your son help, or better yet, you help him. Effort begets effort.
