  I have a reference dimension that is linked to a regular dimension that is linked to the fact table. For some reason, when I process the database with some small sample data, it take about 5 minutes to process, where it should take 10 seconds. I am using a reference dimension because it is a child-parent hierarchy, and I don't think I can merge it into the regular dimension. My work-around is to just include the link to this reference dimension ...Show All

  I have a MFC extension DLL that is compiled with VC++ 6.0 using the Visual Studio 6.0 IDE. I want to use it in a class library created with Visual C++ 2005. I use the .lib and .h files and access the MFC DLL. Every thing is OK until I call a method of a class defined in it that has a CString parameter.

When I run it all looks good, I can edit fields and click on the save (disk) icon. But when I look in the database again - it is u ...Show All
