• SQL Server Framework 2.0 is not installed

  Hi All, I just installed the RC of SQL SErver 2005 on my development server and set it all up. Then I created a model report. From my desktop, I browsed to the development server and clicked on Report Builder. A message said I must have Framework 2.0 installed.

• SQL Server Stored procedure parameter without type

Hi there, So you'd be looking for a catch-all data type sort of like Object in Java or C# or Variant from old school VB Maybe have a look at the sql_variant data type. There are certain types it can't hold though (see doco like Books Online for details).

• Visual C++ spawning a 3rd party application from my application

  Hi Ok - I know I can use various methods to start a 3rd party app such as system (yes I know it blocks), the spawn family, CreateProcess, winExec and ShellExecute. What I need to do is have a 3rd party application start either where I want it to on the screen and of a particular size or maximized in a window that I have created. I also know that you can specify dwx,dwy,dwxsize,dwysize in the STARTUPINFO struct passed to CreateProcess. I can see the app starting in taskmgr but if I try to size the window it doesnt appear ! Is it because the applications main window hasnt been defined as overlapped I may not have the option of requesting ...Show All
