• Visual FoxPro Questions regarding connecting to an ADP server

  I would like to use VFP as a frontend to reach in and pull data from our company's ADP server. I know the addressing ( IP and port ) used by the ADP client software and have administrative access on the User level ( I'm the sys admin), but am unsure where to begin.

Thanks! Well, I've made ...Show All

• SQL Server Drillthrough with multiple tables

  Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with drillthrough, hope someone can help. When the user drills through, I would like them to retrieve some records that are located in another table - not in the fact table. E.g. if they drill down on one record of with a data value of 100, they should see 4 related source records that reside in another table. At the moment, when the user drills down, they always see the entire contents of the other table. Of course it should only show you the records that apply to the value you're drilling on. I've tried several things, setting up a relationship in the cube schema, and setting up a relationship in SQL Se ...Show All
