    I'm using ms access to do my query. My error says that it's "not an updateable query." My query was: "update products set cprice = (select tempPrice from tempTable) where catalogid > 1900" Thanks again. -Goalie35

    How to remove characters

    I need to create a formula that determines how many characters are in a string. If the string length is greater than 17, I need to remove all characters after the 17th and add to the string: "..." So "Hello. How are you doing today?" would become "Hello. How are y..." If the string length is...

    Snap to grid???

    My crystal reports all contain a great deal of lines and boxes to separate all of the data. One of the bigger nuissances I've encountered in Crystal is when I'm trying to line up all of these lines properly and even though everything appears to be lined up in crystal, when I actually view the...

    Unable to connect to other networked machines!!

    By default SP2 turns on the built in firewall. You'll need to disable it or reconfigure it so allow the traffic." That was it. Thanks Denny. -Goalie35

    I'm having trouble attempting to connect to the localhosts of other machines on my company network and unfortunately, I know very little about networking. I was able to connect to these machines a month or two ago but I now seem to have lost the ability to do so. When I try opening a web...

    Setting null running total to zero

    Thanks for the help guys. I ultimately went with TurkBear's idea. I already knew of how to add a formula, as Dave mentioned, and while I knew that method would work, I was hoping Crystal provided a simple 1 click method of resolving this issue, which as TurkBear said, it does. Thanks for both...

    Setting null running total to zero

    I want to set all of my running totals that have a null value to display zero on the report but I can't seem to find a way to do that. I could use the "isNull" function if I was using a formula but how could I do this with a running total field? Thanks in advance. -Goalie35

    error: "document is null or not an object"???

    I have a strange javascript error on one of my company's intranet pages. The error reads "window.document.viewreport.close is null or not an object". The strange part about this is that only one computer in the office out of the 10 I've tried to duplicate the error on so far brings up the...

    simple query w/two tables

    Thanks for the help so far Pattycake but unfortunately, I only explained half the problem because I felt once I resolved the issue I mentioned, the rest of my query would work fine however I'm still having a problem so perhaps I should explain the entire issue I'm having. Recently, we added a...

    I'm writing a stored procedure which involves creating a temporary table and inserting a bunch of values into it. The strange thing is, when I try to run it, I will sometimes get an error that reads: Insert Error: Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition. Then...
