I am trying to create a reporting module for our server backups. I can get into the Veritas backup databases, through a SQL connection. Any ideas as to how I would connect to an Arcserve database? Arcserve seems to add an ODBC by Centura, if this helps. Thanks, N'Bloke

I've been thrown into a network to try and solve a problem... The network is built around Cisco 3750G, using VLANs. The problem is that when a mobile workstation is connected via a Linksys 5 port switch (EZXS55w), the 3750G shuts down that port. I'm told that this is due to the spanning tree...

OK, This must be a missprint, as my book definately says to put the declaration in Form1. I'll carry on using Modules for Public vars. Thanks, N'Bloke.

Newbie question, so my appologies. Have I missed something glaringly obvious?? if I declare a variable on Form1 as public, shouldn't I be able to see it on Form2 ?? I can put the declaration onto a standard module, but is that the way it should be ?? sorry, I may be misreading this stuff.

Many thanks - its good enough for now. suppose if it was a real application then I'd have to learn quite a bit more. Cheers

thanks - i hadnt changed the source, so I could only get one field to be used for the selection. BUT this now brings another problem: I want to look at all books with Author of Microsoft. can I use the same report and pass wildcards, or do I need to learn how to use forms (or alternatives) to...

Been there. recently some employees went to another company. the server was set to forward emails automatically. Some bright spark at the new company had done the same (as a couple of users didnt have their new PC's at the time). An email would come to joe bloggs@here, forward to joe...

All sorted. I had to rebuild the .DDF files. NB.

this is a stab in the dark, and straw clutching. I have some BTR files *DDF files - using the BUTIL app they do look like BTrieve files. I have a very old btrieve ODBC driver 2.12 (when it was INTERSOLV). this is all running on Win95 - thats why its all old. the files were created from our...

Me being very dumb.. I added a simple Label ID="doh" to the field - so I dont need to change any html or PHP coding now.

Thanks, I was doing it this way to pass it into PHP... I am taking Mike's advice and changing my naming/processing a bit. Thanks again.

Probably forgetting something basic here: I have a form with 4 text fields and I want to set focus to the first. Problem is that this is an array. <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;names[]&quot;> what I was going to do was this: <body...
