    Help with relationship design - three tables Landlord, Property, Tenant

    I don't know if you put this problem to bed or not, but when I look at this problem, I think about transactions. Something akin to an invoice header and invoice detail with a twist. Think about the invoice date, due date, address on the header and the transactions listed in the detail section...

    LDAP query not working when run from Stand Alone Workstation

    It was a DNS issue. The standalone workstation does not have sufficient info vs a workstation on the domain.

    Hmmm. Have you tried "~" instead of {ENTER}

    LDAP query not working when run from Stand Alone Workstation

    It picks up the DNS from the VLAN from the switch it is connected to. This is on DOMAIN01 in my example.

    LDAP query not working when run from Stand Alone Workstation

    I am working in a mixed environment with several domains, and I need to build a script that takes a recently imaged workstation in the default "WORKGROUP" and joins it to a domain. I am VBS within an HTA form. The script runs fine when launched on a desktop that is already joined to a domain...

    challenges and non technical managers

    Make it look easy. Ask yourself why is the boss being pushy? Is the boss just being an ass, or is there a serious impact due to the down time. Usually there is a reason. Bosses do not like to hear complaints; rather they like to hear solutions to a problem Get the user / users back to work...

    Tables Dependent on Tables?

    Sounds like a one-to-one relationship. Table A queries Table B and Table B queries Table A? I prefer using the relationship design tool in Access because it enforces referential integrity. However, using a query to relate to another table would work -- Access is fairly easy to use, and this...

    Confidentiality agreement, contract worker, when to take a full time job?

    officeroamer - Seek legal advice! I am fairly certain that a company can not stop you from working - you have to feed the kids, pay the mortgage, etc. And since you are doing what you do best, preventing you from being able to do what you have trained your self to do well amounts to preventing...

    What about...

    Okay, you desktop management geru's -- What about expanding the scope of this specific forum? Am I correct that many of us who manage SMS servers also manage WSUS (Windows Update Service) and GPO (Group Policies) and maybe even AD (Active Directory). And of course, Packaging. When one tool...

    WSUS 3.0 updates

    Specifics might help, but sometimes one update superseeds another. For example, MS08-052 - GDI+ Vunerability could allow remote code execution Two KB's apply... kb954593 kb938464 ... but only the most recent one is actually required. The other thing is how WSUS is configured. Updates have to...

    Video Out Broadcast - any ideas from serious tech guys and gals

    Sorry about not getting back to everyone -- was pulled off on another project. TV - using NTSC - capable of supporting 1080P / 1920x1080 - digital coax input TV end of things: The biggest problem is the quality of the image being sent to the TV or broadcast system, and not on the TV...

    Multi-user / Multi-monitor help needed.

    Agreed. $3k is a very limited budget. You can put something together that would be functional... Wireless will not get you very much since you still have to provide power, and wireless can be more problematic, and is nore expensive. Instead - 4 inexpensive PC's - Digital video card in each -...

    Video Out Broadcast - any ideas from serious tech guys and gals

    I am trying to "fix" somebody else's problem -- very poor resolution and lack of clarity on reception end of video projection. I am looking for suggestions on a better video card, configuration changes, third party software suggestions or tweaks. We have a workstation that is used as a...

    Deleting Url (Special) Links

    Thanks PHV -- good to hear from you again. And what do you know -- it worked. I can understand how ... strFile = \\ADserver\UserProfiles\User1\Favorites\MSN.com.url ... would work. and ... But I was pleasantly surprized that ... \\ADserver\UserProfiless\User1\Favorites\Radio Station Guide.url...

    Switching from Acces to Oracle

    Very different. Would you consider migrating to Microsoft SQL instead ?? There is an upgrade path from Access to MS*SQL, and MS*SQL is a very capable enterprize application database.

    How to maintain historical personnel data

    mslennb Hmmm. Hypothetically, if you own four different fast food joints, such as Tim Hortons (coffee and sandwiches), and employees may "roam" between the locations, they may be promoted / demoted, and they may move to part-time or to full-time. Does this fit your type of problem? As a...

    Excel Lookup more than one column.

    BrGenCAJ Concatenate should meet your needs. I use the following formual / function, comapre four (complex) fields in the row above to the current row to check for duplicate rows. (Numerous rows are imported from an SQL database, and some times rows are imported twice by the end users...

    Deleting Url (Special) Links

    It has been a long, long time since I been to Tek-Tips -- the site is great, just a severe lack of time. And I am stumped. I want to delete links to the web sites that Microsoft automatically populates into the end users' favourites when installing Internet Explorer. * My code works fine for...

    split table loses connection

    The only thing I can think of is if a server was rebooted or a network connection / cable disconnected. Talked to your network admins. They should have alerts and alarms for dropped connections, etc. And this should be a rare thing ... except if you do server reboots as part of the weekend...
