One of our clients requires their membership system extending so that all emails sent & received regarding a member's email address be referenced or stored in the SQL database that hosts the core data. Is there some product/technology out there that could allow us to either create of copy of...

A client of ours wishes to expand their current membership system. The current system as an "events" subsystem that allows them record dates & times of telephone calls & letters sent. They wish that all emails sent & received by a member be also recorded. Ideally they would want the actual...

I know this can be done, cos I've done it before, but I cannot find the article in MSDN anymore. What i am trying to do is change the FILEVERSION & PRODUCTVERSION properties of the compiled code, each time I compile them. I remember it involved your own header file & a VS6 macro that opened...

Can anyone help ? Our C++ code uses the Active X control to display our reports. We have the export button enabled on the toolbar & can export fine. We can even export directly into Word (without saving to a disk file first) if the PC has the u2dapp.dll However, when we try to export through...

Thanks for that Martijn, Since I posted this, I have discovered most of what have said to be true. It certainly doesn't like IB syntax for Procedures/Triggers. PS: I have the registered version IB WorkBench (1.4.1) & have tried the DataPump - What a "cool" tool !!!! Spencer Window...

1. How compatible are MS-SQL 2000 & IB6/7 in terms of datatypes, triggers, procedures, etc? I have looked at a SQL 2000 server database through Enterprise Manager & the metadata generated as a script looks totally foreign to me ! 2. Is there a quick way to get all the tables, triggers &...

Nope, not using SCO as DHCP server & just in case you ask, most of the sites affected don't have any form of DHCP at all ! Spencer Window (not a joke name) spencer.window@eastmidlandcomputers.ltd.uk

Can anyone recommend any software that allows use to "draw" the dialogs/forms that will eventually end up in our packages. We have produced lots of bespoke character-based software in the past & as such always provide the client with some form of written specification, which included...

We are at the end of the road with this one !!!! We have 20+ clients that we have upgraded to 5.0.5 or 5.0.6 over the last 2 years. Some of the upgrades involved new hardware as well. The problem is that on an hourly basis, telnet sessions are "freezing" up. By whatever means...

Not sure what you're getting at, but the trick I use is to only create shares on 2000 box by using the Computer Management tool. When add a new share under Shared Folders/Shares, the wizard prompts you with the permissions required. Spencer Window (not a joke name)...

Since I posted message, I've played around with Visual Basic Scripts & managed to change 1000+ users settings in about 45 seconds - wow ! I've got TechNet, but I bet you can find same on MS website. Look for a doc titled "Step-by-Step Guide to Bulk Import & Export to Active...

You can use tools called LDIFDE & CSVDE, which export to LDIF & CSV format respectively. You can find them on the Active Directory domain controller in the WINNT folder, but you can copy & run them from any Windows 2000 workstation. Spencer Window (not a joke name)...

Check the Settings tab on the My Documents policy under Folder Redirection. There is a radio button for 'Grant user exclusive access' & also one for 'Move to new location' The default settings cause the system to copy the contents of My Documents (or where it was redirected to by another...

Obvious I know, but check the Application Event Log on the workstations that your users logon from & look for errors for UserEnv & FolderRedir. I've had same thing on 1000+ user network, but eventually found it was permissions problem. Also, are your workstations Windows 2000 or above, as far...

I know what you're talking about, but it's not much help to me. But hey this Microsoft we're talking about & life would be so much duller if things worked like you expected them to !!!! Spencer Window (not a joke name) spencer.window@eastmidlandcomputers.ltd.uk
