• SQL Server Flat File Connection Manager does NOT fail

  I use Flat File connection manager where I have defined the format of the file as "Ragged Right" (CR,LF Dos file) with no header rows. The columns are fixed width with Row Delimiter "{CR}{LF}". The problem is when I process a file with incorrect format. The file execution does not throw an error. Instead it throws a warning " There is a partial row at the end of the file.". How can I force the Flat file connection manager to FAIL if the format of the file is not matched exactly. I would think this would be the default behavior of Connection manager. ie. If I have Connection manager setup for a dos file with 2 columns. Column 1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Translating Basic into SQL starments

  I was wondering can VB get into a SQL database ok If so I wanted to be able to do something thats easy to do in VB, but I am new to SQL. That SQL tutorial is way too fluffy, better would be the Bachus-Naur syntax statements to get exact syntax and then I can look for the methods I need. SQL is pretty verbose. My view is, how hard can it be, now that I see the balance of parentheses I can fix sicko methods easy enough. SQL does not come across as too strongly typed either. I would have to make some simple classes in C++ to map them exactly though. There are several types in SQL but most seem redundant to an extent, but SQL is an ol ...Show All

• SQL Server update query and determinism

  I receive the following error on an update.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Dynamic Help

  Where, When, Why!!!! Beta 2 Had Dynamic Help (with only a minor hangup bug if you reloaded it) This improved Edition has no Dynamic Help.. My search of this shows that no one knows from the programmers the answer... For Clarification.. I am using the Visual Basic Express Edition. It does not have a pulldown option from the Main Help Window in any mode for DYNAMIC HELP. It does have some option if you hit F1 which brings up another window with Help. But it does not contain the same useful links and it is not dockable to the first window. The forums I read think that it is a ploy by Mic ...Show All

  I have a Matrix report in RS and I am trying to export it to Excel. The data in the report is formatted as currency. The data does transfer fine, but the currency values are stored as strings.  This will not allow me to perform calculations. I have not had this problem with table reports, only the matrix. Is there any solution that be performed on the server side It shouldn't matter if the textbox is part of a matrix or a table. What matters is the definition of your text box: the expression you use to calculate its value, the data base field type you bound the textbox to. Thank you, Ni ...Show All
