To adjust the form and listbox sizes for your display.

Load the spreadsheet (don't press any buttons)

Choose Tools/Macro/Visual Basic Editor

In the project box top left open the forms entry

Double Click the TwoCablesSuggestion Form. You can resize the individual items by clicking them and pulling the handles.

Save the changes, you should (hopefully be able to see the whole form)”

Ok, it may well be my display, I have it on "Large Fonts" & Large Size (120DPI), as my old eyes are not so good at short reading distance these days (but I can see for miles ). This does give some problems on Websites and some windows/boxes.

If I understand the use of the 2 columns then, are you meant to read columns 1 & 2 across as each row? This is why there are duplications in column 2, for each combination with column 1?

I have to go out for an hour or so now, so I'll try the VBA sizing later.

Rgds.

Yes Les, read across for the two channel combination. You got such a lot of options because you chose 2 channels each with regional options.

Right, I'm with it now I'm having a "thick" day.

I transferred it from my small laptop to my wife's desktop with 19" screen, which I can see . The instructional text on the new window comes up in full.

Yes, if I choose a fairly limiting combination, I can see that it is a one to one relationship between the first two boxes, and selection in the first box changes Channels Viewable in the third.

But, if you stick with what I tried at first with BBC1 & BBC2, even on the 19" display, you get 16 sets (I think I counted correctly) of BBC1 variants to try in box 1, all selectable and fully scrollable with a draggable scrollbar on the right of the box. Recording Two box "looks" scrollable, but the scrollbar doesn't do anything. So, you only get to see 2 full sets of BBC2 (102 & 968), and 2 rows of 969. So, on my 19" screen, the last combination you can get to try is 951 BBC 1 CI with 969 BBC 2 NI.

I agree that this is pretty obscure, in that there is so much choice in this situation, but do you understand my explanation now?

Hi Les

I see the problem, list2 does not scroll with list1. Hot on the heels of a solution.

Fixed clicking on list1 scrolls list2 to correct place.

Based on your choice I have just tried selecting 2 different BBC regions, it bombed out at over 16000 permutations

Perhaps it's a good thing there is only a max of 2 ITV regions

Yes, selecting two different BBC1 variations, it just crashes/hangs.

If you wait long enough it eventually comes up with an overflow error. By my reckoning it should come up with 324 options. Looking into it.

Suggestions button now labelled "Watch All Suggestions" as before indicates where a regional channel change will enable full time shift access to all channels.

Second button "Alternate Watch Options" identifies for all alternate recording options what channels will be viewable.”

Bug that crashes app if 2 bbc 1 regions are selected and watch all suggestions fixed

Yes, thanks.

BTW, the link in your original quoted message is the broken one, the link in post #81 works.

Thanks Les

Next option on the agenda, "Can I Watch".

Having selected 2 channels to record, lets you select a channel you want to watch. Checks alternate options to see if it's possible if so identifies alternate channel to record.

Ooh, nice, very user friendly, and will then be nearly idiot-proof (me) lol.

Version010 now available.

Additional option on both dual and single cables.

Having selected 2 recordings you can ask if a specific channel can be viewed by choosing an alternate BBC1, ITV1 or BBC2 region

http://www.4shared.com/file/10004992...dCheck010.html


Thanks to Savvy for giving the dual cable option a run round the block

Minor upgrade to include todays new channel (same Link)

If you want to make your own changes

Insert new row at row 40

A40 = 209 NHK WORLD TV
B40 = 11680
C40 = V

E1 = 150

Ignore remark in F1 for some reason formula does not update when inserting rows.

If it's your own computer there will be an option somewhere to allow the macro to run. If you post your OS I am someone will know how. There's no viruses honest to god

The option is in Excel itself.

In Excel 2003, it's under Tools | Macro | Security.

Change to Medium Security Level, and it will then ask you each time if you want to run Macros; obviously say yes to allow Graham's application. This is safer than Low, which will run all macros, even those you don't know

HTH.

Thanks Les. I think I misunderstood the posting assumimg the message was somehow derivved from an external windows security setting or programme rather than Excel itself
