• Visual FoxPro Can't write to new tables.

  Hey, I was given the task of updating a project in .NET and foxpro. I opened up the foxpro database and added a couple tables. I can write to them from the command line, but I can't insert or update records through the oledb. The users have write access, and can write to any of the old tables, but not the new ones. I am doing this in VFP 6.0. I don't know what the version to make the originals was. What am I missing To be able to insert data naturally you need write access. Why don't you show your .Net code. Maybe when saying .Net you're talking about asp.net and didn't give aspnet account write ac ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Search doesn't work.

  When I search for a file or folder, it will search for all of 2 seconds then say that there are no results. I even tryed searching for My Documents and nothing came up. What should I do Hi GiantSonic, Here are some things that may help: 1. Did you recently install Desktop Search If so, WDS may not have finished building the search index yet (this can take a few hours). This is especially true if you’ve been using your computer quite a bit since you installed the product. You can check on the status of your index by right clicking on the WDS icon (magnifying glass) in the system tray and sele ...Show All

• SQL Server How to get a row committed

  I have a package loading up rows of employees from an excel file. An employee may be in the file multiple times. The package does a lookup and if not found it inserts the employee. When the employee is found it does an update. So in my file employee A gets added on the first occurrence in the file. On the second occurrence, the lookup does not find the employee and tries to insert a second time and I get a unique constraint. How do I make the first insert Commit so that it is seen by the lookup on the second occurrence. thanks I assume you are using the OLE-DB Destination. Open the component UI, and ensure you have select ...Show All

• SQL Server Displaying a word document via Reporting Services?

  Does anyone know a way to (given a path to the file) display a word document via a reporting services report Thanks This is not possible out-of-the-box. You could implement a custom renderer to do this. You can publish Word documents into the Report Server catalog and browse them, though, you just can't embed them in reports. ...Show All

• Visual Studio ADO.NET and Crystal Reports

  I'm upgrading a custom app from VB6 to VB.NET 2005. It’s a fairly basic app, glorified word processor . In VB6 I used ADO and VB6’s DataReports, in doing so I could bind my ado recordset direct to the DataReport. My question is can I bind an ADO record set directly to a Crystal Report I understand this can be via the viewer. But can it be done via a CR object and not the CR Viewer control Follow up question I’m requesting this info because I’m attempting to control the printer. I know this is easily done through the CR object. Can it be done via CR Viewer Thanks, Joe ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Numeric Up Down Select All On Focus

  Ok, I've managed to use API calls to select all text in a numericupdown control, and this works... however, When I override OnGotFocus via: protected override void OnGotFocus(EventArgs e) { SelectAll(); } All text is selected with the select all statement, and as this function exits, the text is unselected. What am I missing as far as numericupdown behavior goes Thanks! Tried that... good idea, still doesn't work. Basically, it selects all, but when the function is done, it unselects all text. I'm thinking there is some additional call me made here. Any ideas Thanks! ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Activities Menu Unavailable

  I've noticed a number of instances with users not being able to access our P4 application because the Activities menu is consistently unavailable.  I have witnessed this situation myself over several  home broadband connections and the Activity list comes up with the following message: "List of games or activities is temporarily unavailable. Please close and try again later." I initially thought this was due to a restriction on the client machine's network, but this has happened to me in my own home after a recent move.  I've changed nothing...even my provider is the same, but the Activities menu is inaccessible from home. ...Show All
