When I try "man" anything it tells me "No manual entry for XXXX" XXXX being whatever I'm trying. The other fun thing is that I don't have inetd.d or xinetd.d under the etc directory (Can't find them anywhere). The only thing similar to it is a file called inetd.conf. When I look into the file...

Hi, I have created a type tree from an xsd schema and the type tree automatically created a type called choice. I don't know how the choice type works and cannot find anything on the online help. Can anybody help me with this? Thanks

Mrstiffler, Thanks for the info. However, we have discovered a problem with Mercator. Mercator version 6.5.2 does not connect to Oracle 9i from a sun server. This has been confirmed by the vendor. The only way to connect to Oracle 9i if you have Mercator 6.5.2 is to get the oracle drivers that...

The problem seems to be that I have Mercator 6.5.2 and I'm trying to connect from a Sun server to Oracle 9i. fr what I can gather Mercator does not have drivers on 6.5.2 to connect to Oracle 9i. Some people have told me that I need to rename some driver or something like that. Has anybody had...

I don't know what the Oracle Adapter Reference is. I basically don't have any documentation from Mercator only the on-line documentation. I have 2 maps that access the database in different ways one through the input card the other in a dblookup. If you send me your email I can send those to you.

Hi, I have a map that connects to an Oracle database and grabs information. When I run it in my local machine it works fine. However, when I compile it in the sun format and FTP it into the server and run it, it fails to connect to the database. I have made sure that the TNS name is in the...

easyit, I reported to Microsoft the menus issue as a bug and never heard back so I would not count on them doing anything to fix it. However you are right on creating your own custom menus. I have tried to break into my database after setting up custom menus and have not been able to so I...

Duane, My bad it is a report what is giving the problem. We where able to get the form to show the information correctly but the report is not colaborating with us. Any ideas?

No its a text and diplays a text. I have bassically 2 types of classes core and electives (the actuall data in the field is "CORE" and "ENRICHMENT" I sort first by this and then by last name. As I explained it does it right in the query but when I use it on a form it ignores...

I have a cross-tab query sorted by 2 values. First the type of class the student is enrolled on and second the last name alphabetically. When I run the query on query mode it shows the information correctly. However, when I use the cross-tab query in a form the data is only sorted by last name...

Maquis, Thanks for all your help after trying all kind of things I found something that works. I created a custom menu bar and assigned it instead of the default in the startup screen. Now when I open the database holding the Shift key it still shows me the full menu bar but it does not allow me...

Yes I unchecked the hidden options (I only have one) Maquis can you try something? Hold the shift key and double click on an access database that you have secured. Do not release the shift key. When it has finished loading (still do not release the shift key) look at the menus on top when I do...

Maquis, Thanks for the info. However, my problem is a little different. I don't know if I have just found a new way to override security or what. But I can still change the startup properties of my database. This is what I did: First I disabled all the options in tools/startup Then I used the...

I used: Set prp = CurrentDb.CreateProperty("AllowBypassKey", 1, False) CurrentDb.Properties.Append prp and then CurrentDb.Properties("AllowBypassKey") = False as I say it does block the user from presing SHIFT F11 and seeing the main database window. the problem is that...
