    BO Question

    Steve, How do you know your going to meet the needs of the reports if you don't know what the reports need to look like. Where do you get reqirements? Isn't it from report specs? Often its just verifying that the required report layout is simple enough and that there are no complications that...

    BO Question

    I like to know what I need to achieve before I start coding/designing. Therefore, I'd design the report layouts first. This way I can design the universe with the required layout in mind.

    DCED problem

    Try using "netstat -a" to determine what is using port 135. Then kill it or perhaps give DCE a different port.

    LDAP Authentication

    Mincom have fixed their External Authentication 8 character limitation on both userid and password lengths. ECP 3.4 fixes this issue. We are now successfully using host authentication against MSAD. It was easy to setup once Mincom provided their undocumented instructions.

    LDAP Authentication

    Interesting thread. We are in the process of upgrading from MIMS4.3 to Ellipse 6.1 and have attempted to configure external authentication via CICS/ECP. The first thing we noticed was that CICS truncates the userid and password to 8 characters. Mincom have confirmed that it is a current...

    Apache services satarted but localhost yields page cannot be displayed

    I went back to Apache 1.?.? (the current stable version) and it works! So... on my Toshiba Laptop with WinXPHome I've got Apache, PHP and mySQL all working great. I'd still like to get Apache 2 working though.

    Strange problem with Update

    Do you update it in more than one way? ie: Using controls on the form; or using recordset clones. I've experienced this when I allow users to make changes to data on a form and then they press a button on a toolbar which then does work with those records. Always do something like the following...

    Appending New Data in Between Two Records

    Sounds like you need to have an extra field on your table called something like "intOrder". Populate this field yourself and then sort by it. If you populate it with increments of at least 2 you then have room to insert another record. If there is potential to insert more than record...

    Combining repetitive code + Accessing global modules

    Hi Nicola, You can put "=MySubName()" directly against the onClick event (instead of "[Event Procedure]") provided MySubName is actually a Function and not a Subroutine. So, in your global module use "Public Function MySubName()" instead of "Public Sub...

    Interfacing Production Statistics (i.e. msf440, msf420, msf410)

    I've implemented solutions that drive MSO screens (MSO400, MSO310 etc) from Perl via tp_tserv. It's robust and execution is very quick. Just recently, I also upgraded these solutions for Ellipse which (in this customers case) uses CICS. Minimal programming changes to upgrade the actual script -...

    BOC and protected screen fields

    Hi Steve, I've had the same problem but the field was actually getting updated (Account Profile on MSO685). We are now using Ellipse and the problem has been fixed. There is also a "Protected" property that can be used. Try getting the latest version of the Middleware (mimsx.dll)...

    Opening Excel files problem

    I'm using MS Access to open an Excel file and read information from it using the 'Microsoft Excel 8.0 Object Library'. The file being opened is most likely located on an network drive. When another user on another machine has it open exclusively my excel object doesn't know that someone else...

    using windows explorer search files or folders

    Hi Leckie, Yes your correct. I can't compile using the msoFileType constants either. Delete that line and add a .fileName property as follows: With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .LookIn = "C:\My Documents" .SearchSubFolders = True .FileName =...

    using windows explorer search files or folders

    Hi, Have a read of the help system for the "File Search" object. There is a MatchAllWordForms property and a good example of how to use the property. Cheers, Mark.

    Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

    Howdy, If InvIDN is a string then you should use... rs.FindFirst "[InvIDN] = """ & (Me![cmbAccount]) & """" Another thing you can try is testing the rs.NoMatch property. This is what the help system says: "Always check the value of the NoMatch...
