• SQL Server New Query Connect Dialog

  The "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio" opens a connection dialog with every new query. Please tell me there is setting to prevent this. Thanx, Greg The popup of the dialog is related to your current context. If you have object explorer open and a server connected then the query will be connected to that server.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How can I insert and work with images?

  I have a program running on a linux server that serves out barcodes for reports. I created a web service in c# that grabs the barcode graphic from the server and returns a base64-encoded string of the barcode image the server creates. I want to insert this graphic in the upper-right hand corner of the word document and I'm thinking the header is a good place for it, but I'd also like to consider positioning a floating image as well. I've been doing some reading and playing around; By using a bookmark, I've gotten the grahic inserted in the header (the barcode graphic, once inserted should appear in the same place on all pages of the doc, ...Show All
