• Smart Device Development Connecting active sync to emulator in an x64 environment

• SQL Server Cannot get CREATE LOGIN from a Windows group to work

  I have created a database fronted by an ASP.Net application. It's all nice and simple, and I only need a very simple level of security (and even that is only as a protection against accidents rather than maliciousness). My intention is that users connect using Windows impersonation (<identity="true">), with the database creator having full access and the public group (I'm talking SQL groups here) having specific premissions granted on specific tables. If I set <identity="false"> on my XP box the application connects to the database as [MACHINE\ASPNET]. This is easy to set up access for - I simply do a CREATE LOGIN [MACHINE\ASPNET] FROM WINDOWS and then within the actual database do a CREATE USER [MACHINE\AS ...Show All

  Hi all,   I am having a HUGE issue with SSRS, I am running SQL 2005 on Win 2003 server, the SQL uses SQL and windows permissions.

• Visual Basic PrintForm Forum only!!

  I've no backexperience on VB6 but more than three years of experience on .net. I'm trying now to play with the printer. PrintForm look to be a very useful utility; only few programming examples are missing. Pls open a specific forum per Power Pack tool. I want to print a form using the PrintForm utility. It works fine but there is an important detail I can't manage which did work in VB6. Specifically, when I push the button that invokes PrintForm I want to change the background colors of all the labels and the form itself so that the printer is only doing black and white (the form as originally displayed has colors). This operation takes place in a Command Box brought over from a VB6 conversion. ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Paramert problem

  I am trying to put a parameter on my report to select a field from my query but keep getting this error. What am I doing wrong [rsInvalidReportParameterDependency] The report parameter ‘Program’ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter “Program”. Forward dependencies are not valid. Build complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings mr4100. Parameters are evaluated and executed before your data is return from the dataset, so I would suggest on your parameter "default values" - do a returnset of all avaliable problems. Also, you should be able to pass this parameter value into your stored procedure to filter only for the "programs" selected. Hint, go to data tab, select "..." ...Show All
