    Type 2 errors with some 'net apps

    My G3 has, for quite some time now, refused to open certain Internet apps. NiftyTelnetSSH and Opera 5 used to work just fine, but now neither opens, giving me Type 2 errors. I downloaded MacSSH recently and it simply locked up the machine. Running MacOS 8.6, on a network with a Red Hat box, a...

    Can't find linked table: Access97 - ODBC - NT - VFP

    -Using Access97 to connect to an ODBC database on an NT server (SP6) with the Visual Fox Pro driver. Linking tables leads to "Couldn't execute query, couldn't find linked table [table name]." The table is present. Updating MDAC to 2.6 helped briefly, but didn't correct problem on all...

    cron errors

    Something is apparently amiss with my cron setup, but my inexperienced eyes can't tell what that is. Everyday, email like the following is waiting. Subject: Cron <root@linux> run-parts /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron: fatal error: updatedb: create_db(): rename: No such file...

    Perl for my wife...?

    I'm attempting to make my small home LAN (Linux server, 2 Mac clients) as friendly for my wife as possible. To that end, I'm thinking the easiest way for her to initiate a ppp connection might be via a cgi script linked from a LAN home page I can set as her default. I have a bash script that'll...

    Upgrade input/opinions

    I've run into some frustrations with my trusty PowerMac 7100... Namely, I've gotten a little bit of freelance design work, but lack output hardware! From what I've been told, I'm fairly limited with this machine. No PCI slots, no USB (with no possibility for it, lacking the PCI slots) in a world...

    Amiga port - Open vs. Net

    I'm planning to run a *BSD on my good ol' Amiga sometime in the near future. I found NetBSD first and thought, aha! My Ami's new OS... Then I found there's an OpenBSD port also, so I'm wondering which I'll go with.... Based on the OpenBSD/Amiga page, there isn't a whole lot of difference. Any...

    Internet apps crash immediately

    I've been holding off on posting about this as long as possible, but I suspect my Linux-fearing wife won't put up with a non-working Windoze machine much longer. As of a few days ago, everything internet-related quit working with invalid page fault errors. IE, for instance, will open without a...

    Thousands of ip-up.local's

    After moving, I was forced to changed ISPs, so I made sure I found one that was 'straight' PPP (used NetZero previously - proprietary dialers and such are a pain). Hoped that getting online with Linux would be a snap after that, but it's not been so... I can connect, but can't do much as my...

    Access &amp; ODBC

    This has been sitting on an Access forum for about a week with no response, so perhaps an ODBC guru will have an idea... In Access 97, I can import an ODBC database easily: File > Get External Data > Import Files of type: ODBC databases Select data source from Machine DSN tab (already...

    Importing in 2k vs 97

    In Access 97, I can import an ODBC database easily: File > Get External Data > Import Files of type: ODBC databases Select data source from Machine DSN tab (already configured) Select tables to import Voila! An Access db with the tables I selected... In Access 2000, the same steps result in an...

    How long with a big DB?

    Preface: I'm learning this stuff as I'm having to support it, so forgive my ignorance... I'm dealing with distributed reports generated by Crystal Reports 8. Data access via ODBC Visual Fox Pro driver and I'm told Active Data (which I thus far fail to grok) is used in some of the reports...

    SQL and ODBC?

    This may really belong on an ODBC forum, so accept my apologies if that's the case... I'm in tech support, and our software just implemented ODBC this year. Of course, we (techs) weren't briefed on what's involved in this...&quot;Setup should configure everything! No worries!&quot; said...
