• SQL Server Import an mdb file

  Hi everyone, I have an mdb file that I want to import using sql server 2005 express edition. I am using the Management Studio Express and have had no success. Thanks in advance Thanks Mr. Wachal. We did everything exactly what you have suggested us to do. The MDB file is now in Acces 2003. BUT, BUT, the program, that was written over 12 years ago, does not understand the new file.

• Smart Device Development need help in opening point to point GPRS datalink

  I havea problem in mention above i have seen MSDN but nothing to find plz send me the code of C# ASP.net thanks basharat If you mean a direct connection from one device to another over GPRS like you can do with two normal modems that is not possible. You might be able to establish GPRS connection to the internet from both devices and establish TCP/IP connection from one device to another assuming your carrier allows for incoming connections. If you're talking about establishing/terminating GPRS connection to the internet, OpenNetcf.org has classes to do that.     ...Show All

• Windows Forms designer reloads

  I have a form with controls on it, i then go to the code of that form (not the .Designer.cs file) and make a change, like add a function, i then tab back to the designer, and my whole windows form reloads itself. It only takes about 6 seconds but it happens every single time you make a change to the code and then go back to the designer. very annoying.

• SQL Server SELECT INTO using a data-flow

  Hi, A T-SQL INSERT INTO operation inherently expects that the destination table already exists. However, the T-SQL SELECT INTO operation works by creating the destination table as it inserts the data. Like INSERT INTO, an SSIS data-flow inherently expects that the destination table already exists. Can anyone figure out how you might be able to do the equivalent of a T-SQL SELECT INTO operation using a data-flow I'm thinking a custom destination adapter might be able to do the job. -Jamie Bob Bojanic - MSFT wrote: our Triage has not looked at this yet.

    Does anyone know how to impersonate a user and then use integrated security with SQL server   Every place I've looked so far only shows how to use integrated security through IIS (asp.net), however I do not want my application dependant on a web server.    Ive read a few articles that suggest Impersonating a user account, however for some reason, everytime I impersonate a user account, SQL server identifies me as "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON"  Is this by design or am I doing something wrong Any help would be appreciated. Well.... I finally figured it out what I was doing wrong. ...Show All
