• Visual FoxPro Set Skip To Problem

  I use two methods to allow the user to browse through my database - custom form with standard top, prev, next, and bottom buttons - browse windows My database has 11 child tables each with a 1-to-many relationship. In order to be able to use the LOCATE command properly with the child data I would have to set up all the relationships with a SET SKIP TO command. The downside of SET SKIP TO is given here (from MSDN): When you skip through the parent table, the record pointer remains on the same parent record until the record pointer moves through all related records in the child table. In the Browse window you see a lot of ******* records w ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL server 2005 DTS conversion, activex and MSDASQL

  Hi all I am migrating some DTS2000 packages to SSIS via the migration wizard. However there is an activex script in each DTS that connects to an AS400 to retrieve record count for integrity checking. Under SQL server 2000 this worked fine but now it errors with "The OLE DB provider "MSADSQL" has not been registered" how do i get this to work i suspect its because this is a 32 bit dll and my new system is a 64bit sql server on windows 2003. The odbc driver for the as400 has been installed also. The script is as follows: dim cn 'sql connection dim rs 'sql recordset for the insertion of new as400 records dim insertstr ...Show All

• SQL Server Help with auto printing reports using Report Services

  I'm at a breaking point, so I'm hoping someone can help me! I am new to Microsofts SQL Server suite, and from what I've used so far, I love it... except for the sheer complexity of it. I've only been tinkering for 2 weeks now, so excuse me if I'm a bit ignorant. I'm trying to develop an application, and part of that application is when data is submitted to the database, a report needs to be generated, and automatically printed. I thought that this would be quite easy using SQL 2005, but I've found that isn't the case. Before I continue, let me just say that I NEED the report to automatically print out; I've had a lot of people say to me 'Jus ...Show All

• Visual C++ using a C# .net dll in a C++ .net dll

  I've created a dll in C# and I'm trying to using it in a C++ .net project, but everytime I run the application, I get a FileNotFoundException pointing to the C# dll.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.  All works fine from VB .Net to C# .Net, but I only have the problem in the C++ project. The C# assembly is located in the same directory as the C++ assembly, but the problem still exists.  I'm wondering if there is a property setting I need to change in the C++ project properties. Also, what might be related to the problem, I'm using an external function in the C++ dll that is calling t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Why is FileLogTraceListener under Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace?

  Hi! Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.FileLogTraceListener provides great functionality to write stuff in log files. It supports date specific files, file-in-use handling, size maintenance etc. Combining it with <system.diagnostics><sources> section of app.config, the administrator can add several listeners to write the entries written by the application, like Windows Event Log, XML files etc. Does anybody know why it is under the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace I know that a C# developer can add the reference and use it, but it would be good to know the reason that this feature is primarily intended for VB projects.

• Visual Basic User session logon time!

  I am inquiring about information on whether it is possible to determine how long a user has been logged on for. What I hope to accomplish is to determine if a user has been logged on for more than an 24 hours and if so, display a splash screen of some type to tell them to log off. I don't want to log them off, politics involved. Every where I look I haven't been able to come up with a solution. I did find a sample script to check event logs, but how do you calculate the time the event was written and the actual time to determine if it is more than 24 hrs. Can anyone offer any help.
