Yes, that makes sense. How do I do that, precisely? net send 192.168.0.50 test doesn't work. I *can* ping the workstation from the server using the IP. Thx

...available by typing NET HELPMSG 2273 which says that I either misspelled the computer name or the target computer is busy - please try again later. Sending to all workstations using NET SEND * Test still works. Maybe I need to face my server towards Redmond and repeat some kind of mantra? :-)

...type >net send JS test >or >net send johnsmith test If I type 'net send \\390-675 test', I get The syntax of this command is: NET SEND {name | * | /DOMAIN[:name] | /USERS} message If I type 'net send John Smith test, I get An error occurred while sending a message to JOHN. The message...

Yes, you are correct, the DOMAIN and /USERS options are similar. My problem is not sending to everyone (that works fine when I specify the domain name), it's sending to just one computer.

When I try NET SEND /USERS username "message" The system tries to send the message to each XP workstation and reports the following: An error occurred while sending a message to computername1 An error occurred while sending a message to computername2 etc. until it goes through all...

...existing windows. I know NET SEND is supposed to work, and, if I choose to send the message to ALL computers on the network, like this: NET SEND * "This is a test" It works fine. When I try to send it to an individual computer, it doesn't work. I get the message "The...

Running SBS2K. Although I've setup Exchange to allow recovery of deleted items for 7 days (and it works just fine for network workstations), there doesn't appear to be any way to recover emails deleted during an OWA session. Is there something I'm missing? TIA, Mark

We use MailEssentials on our Exchange2K server without problems. There are two separate sets of instructions for installing ME, one if it's on the same server as Exchange and one if it isn't. Also, updating installs over top of the old version. During the installation routine, you can...

Now that Dell has joined the "no more floppies" bandwagon, I've started thinking about the real impact of this. The only question I don't have an answer for is: How does one accomplish a bios upgrade if there is no floppy drive? Let's presume a WinXP-Pro desktop machine. Recent...

Just a follow-up on this problem. No real solution other than tinkering with minute adjustments in the height of the body section (difficult because there isn't an edit box in the properties dialog for the body section, you just have to drag it little by little with the mouse using large...

Thought I'd post the final solution - After setting the main database for the report to the billing database the totals were still too high, so I spent some time pawing though the data in the billing database. It turns out that there were 4 copies of a record from a botched import a few months...

I know I'm using up my nickel's worth of questions, here... but I've found another problem. I have a report with a header. The body prints a line for all records in the found set. There is a trailing summary by employee (with the insert page-break checked), and a grand summary at the bottom...

Thanks, Sue. I swear I remember there being an issue with the email thing, but I tried it and it does indeed work. I guess the issue might have been the ability to push the subject line or message body. Have a good day! Mark

I have a billing database joined to my main client database using an alphanumeric client-code field. Each month, billing amounts for each client are imported into the billing database. None of the four join options are checked for this join. I have a report in my client database that shows a...

I'm currently using Approach v9.1.9810.1400. I'm interested in upgrading to the current version, but have a couple of questions for anyone who might know..... 1. Does the new version offer the ability to have a macro open a blank email (in Outlook) and populate the "TO:" address...

Well Hello, Sue! Remember me? Your solution is elegant, of course. I was stuck on the "find" merry-go-round and couldn't see the forest for the trees (I think that was one too many analogies for one sentence...). Thanks!!

I've got a bear-of-a-find I need to code into a macro. I'd like to define a stored find with the assistant rather than use the form fields, since I'll be on a menu-type view and don't want to clutter the view with hidden fields. I have two variable fields, VarEE (selected by the user with a...

Thanks, Paul! Mark

Is there a way to apply conditional formatting to a field on a report? I've got a date that I'd like to be bold if it is within a certain number of days. I seem to remember there might have been a convaluted workaround, but that might have only been with letters. I've thought of creating two...

I believe we DO have a static IP. Our ISP hosts our domain name. My server is SMTP. It is NOT setup as a POP server. This has been working fine for a couple of years (I've only been here a few months..) If 3rd party software is required to poll my ISP for new mail, then how exactly does it...
