Re: Error Message: 'Argument Not optional'

At some time, will you make the old page redirect to the new page automatically?

At present, I'm just putting a note and link at the top of the superseded pages pointing to the new page. Once I get the bulk of the pages converted (it is a big job -- over 200 pages to convert) each html page will automatically redirect to the corresponding aspx page. All aspx pages will have the same name as the original html page, only with an 'aspx' extension instead of an 'htm' extension. Due to the number of links pointing to my pages as well as the Google Groups archives, the html pages will never go away. Once an aspx page has been created, I will no longer update the html page, but the html page will continue to be available.

I just changed web hosting services (more features, space, and bandwidth for less money than the old provider) so I have space to keep two version of the site running, the html version and the aspx version.

Chip,

It'll make it slightly easier for google searchers and copy|paste posters (like
me!).

Ps. I just read your "before you email me" page.
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/EmailMe.aspx

And thought that you may want to provide a note to try the newsgroups/MS
Communities or even search google before contacting you.

Yes, the example code on my web page was in error. I wrote the code years
ago and only very recently added the 4th parameter, which indicates whether
to append the data to an existing output file (AppendData:=True) or to purge
the output file before writing to it (AppendData:=False). I updated the
procedure code but neglected to update the examples. I have updated the page
with the correct example code. I considered making it an Optional parameter
but didn't because I felt that something as important as preserving or
killing off data shouldn't be left as a default behavior. For safety's sake,
I wanted the user to have to explicitly state whether to kill off a data
file.

That said, I'm converting my entire site from simple and crude HTML to fully
compliant XHTML 1.1 Strict with ASP.NET 2.0, and that particular page has
been superseded by the page www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.aspx . The aspx
page had the correct example code all along.
