You are a GENIUS! It took less minutes to try that with success than hours I spent trying to get a nested GridView selection to work. Thank you very much! Rob

OK, I've spent all day thinking I am this close **two fingers close together** I have a Gridview inside a Datalist. The GridView populates fine, but the Select button does not work. I've searched high and low for a clear example on how to bind the GridView to the DataList, but no luck. I am...

I got a call from my Uncle who said all his icons have the Adobe Acrobat icon. Attempting open any programs results in an error that says Acrobat cannot read the file. I had him go into the Safe mode and the same thing happens. I tried to have him remove Acrobat 7, and of course the program...

Hello, I have an issue while attempting to remote install TrendMicro onto two clients (XP Pro) on one of our networks. I have installed about 60 clients on our other networks just fine. All are 2K3 Server with XP Pro clients. When I go to install and enter the local admin and password, I get an...

Me again... Here is a link to the Microsoft website that has instructions on setting up a Default User account. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319974 I used this method the first time I did it, and simplified it to my description in the previous post as it is much quicker. But you can print...

What I do for the students on our domain is to setup a "Default User" profile so when they log in they have the same default printer installed and all their icons already at their disposal on their desktops. If I don't do this they have to add the correct printer and I would soon them not to...

I set up the OS partiction at 12GB. 2003 Server is using a little over 3GB if I remember correctly. The hard drives are 80GB and I will be setting up a software RAID on them via the management consol. I figure the database itself will live on the larger partition while the program will likely...

We're looking at maybe 10 to 15 users, and the actual database shouldn't be very large; 150 students per quarter, etc. The package is called Diamond D (or similar name. So far I have not received the info on it, however a sister school up north just started testing it out. They called to inform...

Hello, I am setting a new 2K3 Server for the administration department of a small college next week. I received a phone call today informing me that some new software they are implimenting in couple months requires an SQL server to run on. A quick Google seems to point at 2000 SQL running on a...

The Sonicwall is on a battery backup in a locked room. However, I did verify that the password was vulnerable at some point a while back. I have changed it, needless to say. Looks like he reset the logs at the end of class, but there is no hard evidence. This does add one more nail to his...

I just posted this on the forensics forum also: I have a question pertaining to firewall logs. Situation: On Monday morning at about 9:30 am I walked by a classroom at the college where I am the network admin and noticed several students had the "Blocked website" message on their screens. The...

I did all five machines in a row, like an assembly line. Thus my horror when they all did not work! Research I have done since tells me we probably had OS 9 before with the OS X (10.1) on top of it. When I took the 10.1 CD and installed I erased all the OS 9. I had no idea I needed it too. I...

Hello, I have a situation. I work at a small college and we are getting ready to start an OS X class after not having it in a while. We are using iMacs and our CDs are 10.1 I believe. I lined up the five machines we are going to use and they had a lot of garbage files and apps on them so I...

Hello, a client just called me and explained that an administrator set his password while he was on vacation so they could get into his files. Well, all his files are lost. I know there is a message that says you may lose all data when setting the password for a user account already created...
