smah, You may be right about the possibility of spyware and malware. I also have wondered if it might have caused the problem. Can you suggest some very well respected software that I could use? Anything highly rated that I could download from the Web? Thanks again. Josef

smah, In answer to your first question, I have tried these pages from another computer that I use occasionally, and I get the same result. I did try them on my laptop and they work --- for now. About posting a link to one of the problem pages, I will see if I can do that. I am also wondering...

Hello, I have a problem that is driving me nuts and I hope someone might have an idea or suggestion to resolve it. Whenever I try to bring up any PHP-type pages on the Web they produce a blank screen (on the bottom it shows 'Done'). It's also possible that some other pages are doing the same...

Paul, Thank you for your suggestion. That may be what I need. I will give it a try. Joe

Paul, Thanks for your reply. From time to time I have some raw text-format data in Windows Notepad. I would love to be able to place ('copy-paste') the data right into my script and let the script run against it and immediately edit it. Here is a simple-minded visualization of my thought...

Hello, I am curious to know if it is possible to have input data placed directly 'instream' in the program, in other words, whether it is possible to paste the data right into my program and run against it (I normally execute my scripts from within my Perl editor). I know this may seem...

Hello, I am a novice in Perl. Can someone be kind enough to suggest a 'quick' script to accomplish the following: 1. Input - sequential text file. 2. Output - sequential text file. 3. Process: a. Read and Write out 1st record ('column headings'). b. Process remaining data records...

nigelrivett, Thank you for your reply and suggestions. I liked the way the 2nd one looked, so I did as you said, replacing the first 2 statements with that code and then following it with the original STEP 03 code. I ran it and it does work in one shot. I still seem to have a problem...

Hello! I have some code that I am trying to execute in one piece in Query Analyzer, but somehow it won't. The strange thing is that it works in 2 separate parts. The following code, Step 01 and Step 02, seems to run just fine as one piece of code: ------------- STEP 01 -------------- BEGIN...

My thanks to everyone for your replies and interesting suggestions. They will be useful in helping me tailor the columns in my table.

Thank you for your suggestion. I actually did try to modify the datatype of one column called High in my table, which I call BreakoutWatchList. I tried it in Query Analyzer but got an error message, and somehow I don't see where the obvious error is. Here is what I coded: alter table...

Hello, I'm new to using SQL Server 2000. I recently created a table with about 12 columns by importing an already existing spreadsheet. When I look at the table in SQL Server Enterprise Manager, the grid of data is rather wide and I have to scroll to the right to see all columns. Even though...

First of all, thanks to everyone for your replies and the variety of suggestions! To tell you the truth, I am pretty green at this stuff, and I had the help of a friend to install the new drive. Even then we had to spend a lot of time getting the 2 drives and CD-ROM recognized and set up the...

Hello, I just got thru installing a new Hard Drive and using the install manufacturer's CD to copy over all the files from the old HD, but I am confused about whether my boot is coming from W2K on the old HD or W2K on the new HD (I assume the 'copy' put a bootable form of W2K on the new HD)...

Dillinger99 and wolluf, Many, many thanks for your ideas and suggestions! They shed a lot of light on my problem and will be useful ammunition in my process of considering how I can best resolve it. I will be 'attacking' the install this weekend. I have never done this sort of thing before...
