• Windows Search Technologies WDS and Outlook 2000 crashing on exit issue - open for discussion?

  I read through the previous thread and really didn't get the sense that this issue is being addressed or acknowledged. So, here's my own experience on it: It seems even with the new build of WDS (03/08/06), I too still have the Outlook 2000 crashing on exit problem. I'm running Win2K SP4, Office 2000 SP3 and all updates from Microsoft Update for both the OS and Office. The Pc is a 1.5Ghz P4, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD, etc. The hardware is more than sufficient.

• Visual FoxPro SELECT statement is showing unwanted display of data and is not passing data to a table.

  I'm using a SELECT statement to pull out data from a table... that is working great. What I'm trying to do is feed the selected data to a different table using REPLACE so that it can be used by a report. All of this is triggered from a command button on a form. Here's the code for the CLICK property of the button: SELECT store, stock, year_1, make_1, model_1, auction1, transport, recon, sold_for, fees, net_check, result ; FROM wholesale_table1 ; WHERE In_Date >= DATE ()-60 ; && sets a sixty day date range AND sold_for < 1 && removes all sold vehicles && store.value ='DODGE' -> uncomm ...Show All

• Windows Forms Nested InstanceDescriptors (short)

  I apologize for double-posting, but despite the view count on my previous post, I have a feeling no one is actually reading it because it is too long. So I am trying again, shorter this time. Basically, I want to have a property on my form that is serialized to InitializeComponent like this: myForm.MyProperty = new MyClass(typeof(MyOtherClass), MyOtherClass.FldMyField); where FldMyField is a constant string. MyClass has a TypeConverter that is doing the design-time conversion between string and a MyClass object so it can be shown in the property browser, and that is all working correctly. The same TypeConverter is also converting MyCl ...Show All
