• SQL Server Scope defined on Member Properties

  Hi, is it possible to define a scope in a MDX script based on a member property of a dimension Background: I have a "custom" measures dimension. In this dimension I have measures of different type (i.e. currency, integers, percentages,...). So I want to have the display format set for the different types.

Any idea Any other way to do that Thanks, Thomas, to the best of my knowledge the subcube defined in the scope statement has to be made up ...Show All

What I"m trying to do is access the WebPage property from a Contact through Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOulook API which returns a URI. But if the contact's webpage was given a string like "www.####.com" I am not able to extract that string, but if created with a correct string ("http://www.###.com") then e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Uninstall VS 2005, SQL 2000 broken

  Hi; I thought I got the VS 2005 Beta 2 uninstall correct - maybe not. After the VS 2005 uninstall - When I try and run SQL 2000 I get snap-in error (snap-in failed to initialize). I uninstall and when in the re-install of SQL 2000 the setup not really hangs but kind of ignores any input in the Authenication Mode dialog. To proceed through this I can only cancel this panel of the setup wizard. The setup appears delighted at this and goes on its merry way. (I would like to set the SQL Authenication password here - but I fear the previous SQL 2005 Express install may have something to do with this). The VS 2005 Beta was a clean install th ...Show All
