Thanks! Sounds like I'm converting to ADO. I'm happy to heard there won't be any problem with newer version of Windows. I like Delphi quite a bit.

Ugh. I know I should have bid a fond farewell to the BDE long ago...but it just seems so daunting. My question is: What would the best rout be for converting? ADO? dbExpress? I've never used dbExpress but I have tried ADO. What are the benefits to each? Also, am I going to have any issues if...

The username map is set to /etc/samba/smbusers That file only contains root and "nobody" Security is set to "user" The username mpa line also has a semicolon at the beginning of it...is that right?

Original Post I posted this question a few months back in the Windows forum, and was told to come here after some discussion. Our network admin told me that this problem would be fixed when we upgrade our PDC to a newer OS (the current one is running Fedora 1!!), but I'm starting to doubt his...

Well here's an odd thing. We have a generic user named "user" on our network. I created a "user" account on my XP box with the proper password, and behold, it was able to connect to the server and map drives without logging in an additional time. I asked the network admin about it and he...

Unfortunately I'm not the network admin, though I'm trying to learn. Out network admin doesn't really show much concern over this. I checked out the smb.conf file and the username map is set to /etc/samba/smbusers. I cat the smbusers file and it lists root and guest. Is that something that...

I posted this in the Windows XP forum already, but I figured someone in here might be able to help. I'm not sure if it's an issue with Windows or with the Linux server. I think the server is still running Fedora 1...so god only knows. Anyway...on to the question. I just got upgraded (finally)...

Well it is an XP machine, and I have done that already. It lets me enter the server name, the user name and password, but it doesn't work. I still have to log in to the network manually after I log in to Windows. I'm thinking it must be something about connecting to Linux servers. Probably a...

That's the odd thing. I check the "reconnect at log on" box. I check the "remember my password" box when I log on to the server. I've done the whole manage passwords deal, and added the server/username/passowrd. It just won't work. Like I said before, Windows 2000 didn't really remember my...

I just got upgraded (finally) to Windows XP Pro. We've been using 2000 forever. I'm running SP3. The servers I need to access are running Linux, and with 2000 I was asked for a password for each server I was mapped to upon logging into Windows. Now with XP Pro it just won't connect to the...

We have an HP Laserjet 8550 that's about 6 or 7 years old. It just recently stopped printing cyan. I just put a brand new cyan toner in and still won't print any blues. The other ton cartridges are covered in cyan toner on one side (the side that goes into the printer). Any ideas?

Thanks a lot, everyone. This should work out nicely.

I think maybe I didn't explain this clearly. I don't have any routine for creating text file. I need to know how to create the file. In addition, I need to only create the file if it doesn't exist already. I can, currently, only create the file manually. After the file is created the rest of...

Well that's the problem. I need to know how to create the text file if it doesn't already exist. The only code I have for it now is writing text to the file if the file already exists.
