We have a number of inspectors who go into the fields (far from any network connection), inspect culverts, and record the results of their inspections using PocketPCs. Given the PocketPC keyboard (none), it is essential that as much data possible be pre-entered. When they get back in, the...

I read in one of MM's tutorials that the .as files have to be in the same folder as the .fla that compiles them. Is that true? What about all this "package" stuff? If the files have to be in the same directory as the fla, how do I reuse them? Make copies of the class to live with...

I have a button that I am using multiple places in multiple swfs. It has a graphic that means "Copy to clipboard", and for my users means "from whatever textbox it is near." I am going to convert it to a movieclip so that I can have a tooltip pop up after a hover of a...

I am working on a "wizard" style frontend with 7 pages or states. I set it up as 7 labeled segments of a timeline. So far, I have a movie with 6 placeholder pages consisting of 1 textbox on each, and 1 "real" page that has a couple of radiobutton groups and half-dozen dynamic...

I like CF. I like Flash. I am not sure I like Macromedia. What are these DevNet Resource Kits? Should I just budget for them? Are they just part of the relationship like the Microsoft Licensing debacle? Are they worth the money? Do I have any alternative? Every time I get involved with...

When I right-click on a form in the database window, nothing happens. "Allow Default Shortcut Menus" is checked in the Startup Options. When I check "Shortcut Menus" in the Customize Toolbars dialog, the menubar shows up at the top of the application, but then goes away...

If I use a treeview control (VBA) with the node keys structured like: node.key = & _ &quot;<OrganizationID>1234</OrganizationID>&quot; & _ &quot;<PositionID>3456</PositionID>&quot; & _ &quot;<PersonID>5678</PersonID>&quot; I wondered if I could then use the MSXML to retrieve -- oh, the...

I am currently working on an &quot;upsized&quot; db that had a couple of lookup fields set on the tables. In http://www.ctpcug.org/sigs/sql/downloads/UpsizingAccesstoSQLServer.ppt , which a UG generously posted, the presenter states that lookup fields will absolutely not upgrade, and I agree. My...

I have several people using a frontend to add tables into a common backend. By putting a link to the backend's MSysObjects table in the frontend, everyone can see what's currently in the backend, even if some of the tables aren't linked to their copy of the frontend. I looked through the FAQs...

I am looking for the Macromedia equivalent of Microsoft's &quot;Web Matrix.&quot; With &quot;Web Matrix,&quot; I was done with a Web Services provider and a Web Services consumer in about 60 minutes of work. They didn't feature a lot of animation, but they were medium-attractive in a businessy...

Has anyone tried MS Web Matrix? It's free, and I'll tell you: I was finished with my first Webservice provider and consumer in less time than I spent fiddling the command line so I could run &quot;Hello World&quot; in JSP. I am the lone programmer at my agency -- and I am the DBA as well. I...

(Re: Subject Line) Well? Ron

I don't really care much about system administration. I do it when I have to. I write applications using ColdFusion or Access for the front end, and SQL Server 2000 or Access for the back end. That's what I like to do. What certifications ought I really to have on my resume? Ron

When I try to use the data definition query: ALTER TABLE tTempOrgResult4bu ADD Selected Boolean Yes I get an error message. What little is available in &quot;Help&quot; says that ought to work. I have tried a couple of variations, but the error message highlights &quot;Boolean.&quot; I can do...

vCards are a near-standard way of describing contact information in email clients, etc. I thought that was a fairly common sort of data, so others would be interested in validating XML about contacts. Here are the two that I found: an xsd schema at...

I am working on an agency-wide &quot;Contacts&quot; application. It keeps a central database of names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. and lets users make &quot;phone books,&quot; which can be output as mailing labels, .NAB files for GroupWise, spreadsheets, etc. I would like to use XML for data...

I am working on an agency-wide &quot;Contacts&quot; database, which keeps names, addresses, phones, pagers, organizations, etc. and feeds them to mailing labels, PDA address books, .NAB files for use with GroupWise, spreadsheets, etc. I'd like to use XML for data exchange. The DTD tutorial on...

In Acc2002, the erratic returns to default are &quot;By Design&quot; according to MS. They do publish a workaround, which really does the trick. It's at: http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q290293 Ron PS -- Converting a database from Acc97 to Acc2002 also causes...

When I change permissions for an NT Group in SQL Server, it doesn't seem to be enough to re-link the tables. I have to delete the old links and make new ones. The old DSN's are ok. If I don't, the permissions seem to update erratically. Has anyone else run into this? Is it a bug or a feature...
