Do I need to use my normal ADO objects somehow to do this? Or are there built in objects that I'm not finding? I'm new to Ruby and I'm not running rails. I'm running Ruby on Windows XP and I'm attempting to play around with it before I dive into rails. Thanks in advance for the help.

I think that's my issue. We don't use the new versions of Visual Studio .NET, I'm just winging it using the SDK (and 1.0 at that). Is there a comparable command line or third party solution that can create the COM callable wraper? Or is Visual Studio .NET the only way?

We run NT 4.0 and have Office 2000 here. I've installed the SDK 1.0 of .NET and want to try to automate Excel using C#. Do I need some sort of wrapper to do this because this version of Excel isn't .NET ready? I've automated Excel from VB 5 & 6 and Delphi, but I have no idea what I need for...

Thanks for all the great feedback! I suppose I could do what I need to do with the data and then, at the end of it all, run a batch update. I may just do that. This code is, for the most part, inherited. It's written in ASP and, to my knowledge, ASP sessions require cookies (not that I'd be...

Ok, I figured it out. I did some watching of the processes when this situation occurs and found that the select statement that I was using to determine which records to update was actually blocking the update statement. Does a select statement really lock records? In any event, I changed my...

There are roughly 60,000 records total.

I have a table that stores userid, sessionid, and logintime. I have indexes (neither clustered) on userid and sessionid. The query I'm running is to clear out expired sessions (through a loop in a program): update logins set sessionid = null, logintime = null where userid = 9999 The query...

I'm writing an application that will have one main window. That window will have a place to select two different files, two process bars, an OK button, and an Exit button. What I'd like to happen is, for each file being processed, spawn a thread using it's own specific processing function...

Ya know, I started mysqld-nt with the --enable-named-pipe parameter and everything appears to be normal now.

I've gotten this same error and here it is: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)' Check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306. What happens is, it runs or appears to, then it comes back to a...

Has anyone ever had to email customers and had to know whether it got delivered or opened? Anyone? I'm finding lots of examples of the basics using outlook, cdonts, and mapi, but nothing resembling what I'm looking to do.

I should specify that I'd like to NOT have to use HTML body content. It has to be able to be a stricly text message.

I see products out there that can tell if an email has been delivered and opened. I'd like to track this using my own code, but I have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction? We're using Exchange 5.5.
