I would nope not. I would expect it would be related to how many are in any single spot, not how many in general. For instance, I have a tool we're using in the office. It has a folder structure it uses for storing contents. It uses 2 value hex 00-ff as a foldering scheme. Each one of these...

What about the limits on the numbers of folders on a volume?

are the maximum number of folders and files on a single logical volume? We want to take the content of a file share in the office (WIndows) and put it on an external hard-drive. It's all old stuff, but we can't afford to throw it away either. We want to make a couple o copies for safety...

Without going through some exercise to actually echo each character value to the screen that would be tough. I do happen to know that this is what the routine called does however. Having said that, I did get this working with some help from a person in experts-exchange. The answer was a...

my declarations are fine, but neither of these work. The issue is that the API I'm using needs to write into a buffer and it's going to write a 0 terminated string. This worked with VB and the String * 1000 declaration, but in VB.Net, I can't allocate space, without actually having content...

I don't think that last one will work. I'll just end up with a string like I already have. I'll give them both a shot though.

I'm having a real problem and need some help. We use a product called Documentum. It's a document manager. There's an API available for both VB and C/C++. This worked quite find until VB.Net came along. The reason follows: The API works using requests and results in strings parameters...

We have a web site from which we need to generate "poor man's" reports. This site is IIS and currently with ASP. Our approach to this is to generate Excel and download them to the user. This is what we inherited. The data is being queried from a relational DB. The site is currently ASP...

I continue to have the following problem. I'm using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. Our company servers are Exchange 2000. Fine so far. When I go to establish a partnership with my WM5 PDA I'm having the following problem. Upon first sync, all my personal address book entries are converted into...

Would anyone knokw how to migrate non-database objects in a SQL Server instance? We need to move about a dozen servers (with dozens of databases and packages, etc. in them) from SQL Server 7 to SQL Server 2000. We cannot afford to do this one-by-one manually with export and import. Moreover...

We don't want to backup/restore database-by-database. We know how to do that (as I said). We want to copy the contents of the entire server from the old to the new.

Help. We have about a half dozen SQL Servers with between 20-60 databases each on them. These are all SQL Server 7 (on NT) and we need to migrate them to SQL Server 2000 (not ready for 2005 yet) on Windows 2000/2003 (don't know which yet). We really (REALLY) don't want to export/import each...

Is it possible for one field in an MS Access table to be calculated from other fields in that same table (in the same row) like it is possible to have a field in an Excel spreadsheet be calculated from another field in the same row? We want/need to upgrade/uplift an Excel application that has...

It's this last bit, which is why MS Access is an issue. We're quite familiar with Relational databases. I've used them for > 15 years going back to vendors like Ingres, etc. all long gone. Unless we can use MS Access in such a dynamic way (the end users using it I mean), then it won't work...

We are not trying to use Excel as a database. The spreadsheet is a vehicle for "prepping" data for submission to a modeling/optimization tool. It so happens that creating the input data takes quite a bit of work as does prepping it. The spreadsheet is the tool for this final step, after which...
