• SQL Server How to display Japanese Kanji using DBCS

  I have a report that displays DBCS (double-byte) data. However when I change my browser (IE6) encoding to use the "Japanese Auto-select" setting, the characters displayed do change but they do not display as Kanji. I have confirmed using a different web report that the data is DBCS and can be displayed as Kanji, so there must be something I'm missing in the SQL RS web report or maybe server settings. I've tried changing the fonts but that doesn't help. Would greatly appreciate some guidance on this - please be gentle here - I'm something of a novice in this area!! many thanks Peter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing Visual Web Developer problem

  Whenever I try to install vwdsetup.exe, the progress bar gets about 3 quarters of the way across and then stops. I left it running for about 10 minutes to see if it was going to do something and it didn't. So I did Ctrl Alt Del and ended the setup.exe process (which was using about 90% CPU). The setup window disapeared, but the processes kept running, the only way to get rid of the process is to restart the computer. Is there a fix for this So that it will actually install Hi Phil, I'm running into the exact same problem. If I stumble across a solution, I'll be sure to post. rusk50 ...Show All
