• SQL Server How To Use Interactive Sort on Grouping Reports?

  Dear Anyone, We created some reports that are mostly grouped reports. These are reports that doesnt have detail values but rather uses the grouping section only. We've enabled the interactive sort feature of RS2005. But unfortunately, it doesnt seem to sort at all when we click on the sort links. Can anyone pease enlighten me on why this is so Thanks, Joseph Interactive Sort has two options: the sort target scope and the sort expression scope. It sounds like you are using just the default settings - in that case it will sort the underlying detail data, but not the groups. You will need to explicitly specify the scope in whi ...Show All

• Visual Basic How can i make a database like QuickBoods?Please help me

  im new in this way and i wanna start the programming with Visual basic If your new to VB programming then you should probably start on something simple rather than embarking upon writing an full blown accounting package such as quickbooks in VB. It really would be cheaper and more reliable to go and buy a copy of Quickbooks than try to write you own. That said, The following e-book will get you going in VB and will walk you through creating a simple DB application. From there you can start to develop your own. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/learning/introtovb2005/ That along with doing other research online, going to l ...Show All

• .NET Development Unusual behavior on form controls

  Hi All, I have just set up a new application to be run from within another windows application. The project is of type class library and consists of a class and 2 forms. The problem I am experiencing is when I am working on either of the 2 forms some unusual behavior is taking place. Whenever I try to use the space bar, nothing happens. No spaces appear whatsoever. Another problem I am having is when tabbing through the contols on the form, it minimizes the app. So when ever I press tab, it minimizes insteard of setting focus to the next control. Has any one ever come accorss similar behaviour Thanks in Advance... Todd. ...Show All

• SQL Server Pre and PostExecute Event handler called more than once

  I have a task configured on the post execute event handler of a package expecting this task to be executed only once after the completion of all the other tasks in the package. But I found the task configured on the post execute event of the package getting executed as many times as the number of tasks in the package + 1 . Is there any workaround for this problem Yes, The reason this happens is that events "bubble-up" from a container to all parent containers and are caught by any eventhandlers that exist on those parent containers. To stop this behaviour you'll need to create an eventhandle ...Show All

  I have tried also installing and using the ODBC driver version 3.51 and the My SQL driver 3.1.8.  None of these work.
