  I have a standalone forms designer up and running ( using the new designsurface). For some of my custom controls, that get created using my custom designer, I want to display some small icons on top of their drawing surface.

• SQL Server NONEMPTYCROSSJOIN : how does it work with linked measure groups ?

  Hi, I am experiencing a strange behaviour with both NONEMPTYCROSSJOIN() and NON(CROSSJOIN()) Mdx statements when working with linked measure groups.

Now, if I create an empty cube (no data source view) and add the measure group of my first cube as a Linked Measure Group, it seems l ...Show All

Wondering is there is a freeware dll out there...for this type of global hook. Trying to get away from the active x route of spyworks. Write your own. If you just want to see that a window is opening a WM_CALLWNDPROC hook is much to heavy. A WH_CBT hook is enough. But all this is beyond the scope of this for ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing SQL Server database from Crystal Reports - being prompted to log on every time?

  Hello, this is my first time posting here. I've never really worked with SQL Server much, but I'm in the process of learning. Please forgive my ignorance. Anyways, here's my dilemma. A user at the office uses Crystal Reports (I'm not too familiar with this program either). Crystal Reports pulls data from SQL Server.
