Hi! Nice explaination. But what about the folder name 0255? Some one told on the list itself that create the folder name 0255 and press alt while typing the folder name and then locate the folder. But we can not find the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vikas Kapoor" <[email protected]> To: "Access India" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 11:27 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Amazing!
