We can also provide a quotation on re-calibration of most binocular brands and models.

Our workshop managers alone have a combined total camera repair experience of over 71 years. We are more than capable of performing any work required to meet and exceed your expectations.

Sensor cleaning
Due to the climatic conditions in South Africa, Digital SLR users often find themselves in need of a sensor blowout to remove those irritating dust particles that find their way into your DSLR and onto your camera’s sensor, resulting in spots appearing in your pictures. We offer a sensor clean that is a sensor and mirror box housing blowout (can be done while you wait), with test pictures taken and digitally analyzed to confirm the success of the sensor blowout. This sensor clean is only suitable for DSLR’s that are in a relatively clean condition, where you are experiencing problems with only a handful of spots appearing on your pics. The cost for this clean is currently R115 + VAT if successful.

Complete Service
The complete service of a camera involves among other things, a complete strip down of your camera’s body (or other photographic hardware). The camera will then be cleaned from the inside out, including all casings, shutter, mirror box housing, sensor and all internal parts (some wear and tear parts may also need replacing ). The camera is then re-assembled, recalibrated and tested. The cost for this complete service is model dependent, condition dependent and dependent on any spares that may need replacing. Please see details for quotations.

Express repairs
In order to improve our service to our customers, we have set up an express repair counter at each of our branches where minor repairs such as LCD replacements minor cosmetic repairs are handled while you wait. Your camera will be assessed by an express repair technician and he will confirm if the repair can be done straight away (checking type of repair, spares availability) or whether it will need to be booked in. If it is confirmed that an express repair can be done, you can enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of water, read a magazine or browse our extensive photographic sales displays.

The tutorial links below do a good job of showing how to edit form templates.

Tutorial: Creating and distributing custom forms with Outlook - Outlook - Office.com
http://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?id=39

How to SHARE them with another user is a different thing altogether :)

Here's how I did it:
1) Open the task template (Tools > Form > Design a form)

















2) "Save As.." your template in your normal documents folder.














3) Send the saved file to the other user as an email attachment.













4) On the recipient side, the user double clicks the attachment, and selects "Publish As.." (Tools > Form > Publish As).  Click on "Publish" when done.

*** The template must be saved in the "Personal Forms Library"
*** The display name must be typed EXACTLY the way the file is named. ExACtlY!
















5)In the Tasks view/folder, right click on the word "Tasks" and select "Properties" from the short menu.

Opening a shared task folder from another Outlook user's task folders.

You cannot open a shared Outlook folder from a sharing invitation that you receive from another Outlook user: Method 2: Open nondefault Outlook folders
You can view the nondefault Outlook folders just as easily as you can view the default Outlook folders. If you are invited to view a nondefault folder, the words "Microsoft Exchange" will not appear before the folder name in the sharing invitation.

To open a nondefault Outlook folder, follow these steps:
  1. In Outlook, click E-mail Accounts on the Tools menu.

  8. In the navigation pane, expand Mailbox - UserNameOfFolderOwner, and then click the folder that the user shared to you.
If you receive an error message or cannot open the shared folder after you follow these steps, contact the sender of the sharing invitation to make sure that you have at least the Reviewer permissions to the sender’s shared mailbox on Exchange Server.

To give you the Reviewer permissions to the shared mailbox, the owner of the shared folder can follow these steps:
  1. Follow the appropriate steps:
    • In Outlook 2007, right-click Mailbox - UserName, and then click Change Sharing Permissions.

Word mail merge field size limitation - Microsoft Community

Word mail merge field size limitation - Microsoft Community: The system sets the data type by inspecting the first record(s) in the data source. A way around the problem therefore is to ensure that the first record (create a dummy one if necessary) contains more that 255/6 characters in the field that is being truncated.
