• SQL Server Default Web Site using wrong IP

  I just installed sql server 2005 on a windows 2003 server.  I chose the option to install but do not configure.  After restarting, I used the Reporting SErvices Configuration Manager and it all looks ok.  When I browse to //localhost/reports I get a rs page with the message of: The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request. One slightly unusual thing is SQL Server 2005 was installed as a named instance ("( ...Show All

  Hi, I need to write code that uses temp tables to check data and transfer it to another table. As I understand, data has to be transfered to temp table, and then a loop will check each row for data integrity and move the valid rows into a new table. The code looks something like this. The problem is with this code, the destination table (table 3) contains only one record instead of 375. What am I doing wrong Select CustomerID, StaffID, Sequen ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Exceptions While Creating the View

  I was trying to track down an exception that was bubbling to the top of the stack. I went into Debug->Exceptions options and set all exception types to be caught when they are thrown (not just when they are unhandled). To my surprise, there are a great deal of exceptions thrown while the view ( WorkflowView ) is being created and added to the form.
