Office 2010 - Excel issue

Today having problems with the Excel file on a Windows 7 laptop. I worked with this file last night without any problems.
The file was saved on a network drive and during saving have not been received error.
When this morning I needed to open the file I got the message about error.
"excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension is not valid" And also the file is showing up as having 0kb.
Tried an excel repair on the file and also opening up in another program like .docx or .txt. Is there any way of finding out what happened this file or fixing the issue.
File server is running windows 2012 R2 server. Shadow copies are available and I can restore the file to previous version, however the user did alot of work after that time.
I think your file is corrupted and it may be repaired using an excel repair tool; I personally have not used the Excel version of this maker but I have used the Excel Repair Kit and password tool and they work well:
However, if the user was working for a long time Excel may have saved a copy in the users computer C:\Documents And Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\filename.xlsx.
Another thing, I use Undelete Server Edition and it has worked great for the last 5 years; every time a user saves a file it makes a copy and it stores it for the time you specify.

How to export from psql using pcc client version 11 to excel?

I just want to have the results from a simple select statement exported to excel. It seems like the only options now are grid or text. In previous versions this was obvious from the menu but now I can't find it at all! Am I missing something??
A direct export to Excel isn't (and never has been) offered by Pervasive. You can export to CSV / SDF and open that file in Excel.
In PSQL v11, you can export the data by right clicking the table name in PCC and selecting "Export Data".
If you want to export more than one table at a time or on a scheduled basis, you need a different tool.

How to convert ODT to DOC/RTF without openoffice.org

Is there any way to convert odt documents to doc or rtf on linux without openoffice or any library that relies on having openoffice installed ?
OpenOffice.org and its derivatives (LibreOffice, Symphony, etc) currently have one of the best converters between ODF and the Microsoft formats (besides the ODF support built into MS Office).
If those converters are not an option for you, you can choose between some alternatives: Foremost you might want to check out the KOffice project which also offers command line tools for file conversion:
KOffice - File Filters
Then there is another open source project with a free BSD license available on SourceForge:
OpenXML/ODF Translator
This project offers not only add-ins for Microsoft Office, but also a stand-alone command line version which also runs on Linux.
Then there would also be a different approach: You can automate Google Docs using command line tools:
googlecl: Command line tools for the Google Data APIs
Google Docs file conversion have internally been based on the OpenOffice.org file filters, but as far as I know they have been replaced by Aspose, a library for document formats.
Aspose is available in several versions, and as you have a Linux dependency you might want to check out their Java version.
Aspose.Words for Java
The library has its price, but you won't find another library that is not a full office suite with that quality.
If you don't want to use OpenOffice, Google Docs is your best bet. Cross-platform, web-based, and free, it takes about 2 minutes. You would upload the file, and check convert, then redownload as a doc or pdf (depends on what you want).
http://docs.google.com/
You could try this freeware (Docx2Rtf) and run it under WINE.
Checkout unoconv. It relies on OpenOffice.org its core, but it doesn't rely on any GUI packages. I assume this is what you want?
Use http://zamzar.com/ It has great support for all those formats. And is not reliant on any other installed program.
And of course, being a web page, it will work on any OS.

How to backup issues list from Bitbucket?

With issues gathering on bitbucket, I'd like to have a way to gather and back them up in the event that I need an offline copy, or no longer use Bitbucket, or something else. The site doesn't offer this service. Is there an alternative mechanism I can use?
From now on you can Import/Export your Issues:
Goto: -> Administration -> Import/Export
Youtube-Video: Bitbucket Issue Export
You can get your issues via the Bitbucket API.
Here is an example URL to get the issues for one of my projects:
https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/christianspecht/bitbucket-backup/issues/
However, this returns a list of the issues in JSON format.
I doubt that you can do anything useful with a list of issues in JSON, but I don't know if there's a better file format for issues.
I just asked exactly that here on StackOverflow, because I'm dealing with the same thing at the moment:
Is there a standard file format for exporting issues from an issue tracker?
Full disclosure I am the author of Issue2Markdown because I really needed it.
As mentioned previously you can export your issues from Bitbucket project by going to Settings->Issues->Import & Export and then downloading the resultant ZIP file.
Inside that ZIP file, you will find JSON file and attachments archive. You can import those into some other issue repository. Or if you are like me you may be working with a remote team that is reluctant to use an issue tracker and would like to be able to read a human-readable version of the issues.
That is where Issue2Markdown comes in. You can use that to render your issues as a single Markdown document. You can find pre-built binaries for Linux, Windows, and MacOS under releases.
I hope that helps the next person who could not find the solution.
There doesn't currently appear to be any way to export your issues :(
You could export issues from settings in the repository. Then download the and extract the zip file, that would give you a json that you just could parse any way you prefer
I wrote a small python script to convert issues json file to excel that you can find it here. Hope it gives you some ideas:

Tools and methods for localization of ASP.NET application needed

We have a multilingual site that is currently using 2 languages, but with several others coming soon. The site is localized primarily by resx files, but with some localized data in a database.
We need to find some tools to manage localization of the site - something that picks up on changes in resx files so translators will only need to translate new or updated texts.
Any ideas or recommendations? We're also interested in any articles about the logistics of localization if anyone has some.
I'm researching this area as we speak and I came across your post. I'm not sure if this is any help but in the past we used RCWinTrans for our localization. This was for mutiple C++/MFC products although it does support .Net . We would have a RCWinTrans project for each language/product we intended to support although you could have multiple languages in a single project. It kept track of state (i.e. not-translated, translated, changed, etc) and would allow us to export the strings to an excel spreadsheet which we could then send onto a translator. They would updated the spreadsheet and we would reimport the data.
Hope this helps, apologies if I'm on the wrong track and I'm teaching grandma to suck egss. I will be creating another thread today with a similar requirement to this btw, but with a few more snagettes - might be worth a look to see if I get any answers. Cheers, Roger
An idea might be to have all the localization data the database (or a localization database), this way one could build the localization tools/interface as part of the application and poyentially use it for many applications?
There is a free tool called Resource Translation Helper ( http://www.winking.be/resource-translation-helper )
Install it
Point it to your project directory
Export to excel (.xls)
Give the excel to your translaters and let them update the columns.
Import the updated xls file again
The tool creates also a file to map the resx translation to the excel rows. Don't remove that or you will not be able to import again.
Works very good, but backup your data before adjusting things ;-)
You cant try to use this Visual Studio extension https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/2676967b-0516-4f5f-b312-6873e2f9d219.
It allows to export/import your project resources to/from excel and to add new cultures.
Old question, but I would like to add http://www.zeta-resource-editor.com/index.html
Free tool for .NET resource files.
This directly edits the resource files, no need to ex-/import.
