• Visual FoxPro function argument is invalid...

  I have a problem with this message and a few similar once. When I get it I invoke the debugger and attempt to examine the variable/argument. In this particular case it is a memner of an array. I suspect that instead of a character string it got an .F. value but it is hard to prove because I cannot examine it. If I attempt to look at it in Command Window I will get the same message that it is invalid. More than that, some other related, neighbouring variables become shielded as well. If I try to examine them I get the same message. Is it a particular anomaly of my setup or a universal problem Can anything be done about it Thanks. Hi ...Show All

• SQL Server NullProcessing and Reference Dimensions

  Have a Measure group in a fact table. This fact table links to the project dimension and the time dimension. In the project dimension there are some additional dates like ProjectStartDate and ProjectDueDate. So I create a new time dimension for these dates. So for the Measure Group / Time (ProjectStartDate) combination, I define the dimension usage as a reference to the project dimension. But when I process I get som errors on ProjectStartDate that date values (the NULL date) not exist time dimension (which is correct). To solve this I try to set up the NullProcessing for these dimensions. But in contrast with a regular dimension th ...Show All

• SQL Server How to get programatic access to SSIS Service run time pkg monitoring info...?

  If running pkg from file system ( not deployed to SQL ), how do you interrogate the DTExec process to get pkg info, similar to the info the SSIS service shows...is this exposed somewhere in the API, to get runtime info for a pkg... Want to expand on what SSIS Service monitoring provides... Thanks in advance... RC You can control what is reported to the console, /REPORTING, and you can set loggers, /LOGGING, but apart from that there is not much more you can do. If you want fine grained programatic control over the execution and output then you would need to write your own execution host. Using this you can c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio C++ Express 2005 builds send my monitor nuts

  I'm running XP Home + SP2. Video adapter is NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440. Visual Studio C++ Express 2005. My monitor goes into a blackout/clicking frenzy due to resolution changes it believes exist during any build. This happens every time "Compiling..." appears in the Output window, and when "Linking..." comes up in it. This slows down my builds a lot, plus I can't use the machine for other tasks while all this is going on. The resolution appears to switch to some very low value, and the cursor appears as a fairly large white square on this black background. The problem lies somewhere in my Windows setup/registry.
