1. Alter and further test your pre-set values/conditions in the filter.

2. You can use Ref() in a column.
    However, you should avoid referencing a column directly. This since "the Explorer
    will only calculate values (the column's indicator formula) for the calculation date. The
    Ref() function returns this value for this date only".
    If ColA contains a valid Formula, then only column A Formula's current value will be
    calculated. Any history, eg previous values, can be calculated within that Formula,
    with using Ref(...,-1) workarounds or using the PREV function, but a Ref(colA,-1)
    is never calculated(and will return a current value only).

3. See my homepage. You will have to write the script(s), tho. But basicaly, they are
    then a written version of what you would normaly do anyway, eg Send the Key strokes
    or {alternatively} the Mouse Clicks.

4. NT4.x uses the AT vdos-prompt command.
    Win2k (like Win9.x) uses the TaskManager program.
    You will have to write some commands in a batch-file(NT4.x) to do the same as
    simply clicking and setting up the TaskManager program, which is all very basic.

is good news, I'll play with that.
