Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well paul...glad to see a sense of humor!!

Seriously though....obviously one could do this with macro or VBA but
then you get into the whole security mess (would you blindly trust a macro
from me...even if I bought you a beer?) not to mention the old "in for a
gram, in for a megaton" of programming shapes.

in 2007, instead of MS doing all the dashboard and themes...they could have
just published some doc with examples and let all the user hack away.

here is to hoping visio 2010 pulls more intelligence into shape*** and less
lof making the user a shapes programmer!!!

Happy new year

Could do something funky like the following:

page a calls page b:
page a, knowning its going after b, puts a marker in page b (setref in a
user cell)
page b uses the marker to set the right link back to A
page c calls page b:
same idea...different marker

obviously would need some clean up on page b to handle error or corner cases.

Shudder. You designed the DEC PDP8 call/return mechanism and I claim

May I suggest that the phrase "... do something funky ..." has
preceeded many of the biggest ****ups in history.
