• Software Development for Windows Vista Calibrating game controller - Security Privilege Error

  I hope this is the right forum... I have Vista Beta2, build 5384 and I'm having trouble calibrating my joystick. I can view the properties of it with no problem, but when I try to actually calibrate it, I get a Security Privilege Error telling me to log in as the administrator. Well, so far I only have one account which is an administrator account. As far as I can see, there is no Administrator account like there was in XP, right So what do I need to do to be able to perform this action I've had similar problems running programs, but have got around them by right clicking and running them as an administrator. Unfortunately, I don't think I have that option in the control panel. Thanks for any help, Clark For any ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I compare datetime in a query???

• SQL Server Dynamic transformation to upload flat files into database

  Hi, My scenario: I have 4 different flat files types each having different no. of column, order of columns etc. I want to upload all the 4 types into the same destination table in the SQL database. Before uploading I need to apply transformation to each column in the flat files. The transformations could be like 1) Multipying the source column by 100 2) Put an if condition for 2 source columns and then select one column to be copied into the destination. I have the flat files schema with me and also all the transformations that are required. Question: Can SSIS provide me with a component that can read the flat file schema and the transformations from the database and apply them to the source data and then upload it to ...Show All
