  Hi, I'm trying to write a macro for outlook 2003 to send email different contacts separately that means when some person receives the email, they will see their email address in the To section. Currently if I use BCC, the person will see the same email adress for From and To. Do you know how to write codes to connect to the"new message" windows in outlook and all the controls in that windows Thanks. Sue, I have this same problem at work but I am not advanced enough in Outlook coding to understand your answer above.

• Visual C# SqlParametersCollection only accepts non null paremater types

  Trying to pass parameters to an Sql Stored Procedure I got this error (the first parameter: Table name): SqlParametersCollection only accepts non null parameter type objects, not String objects.

However, be aware that some UIElement objects will handle layout differently depending on their context in the visual tree. You may want to try searching the forum for threads relating to ListView layout, as that may be involved in this case. Happy Coding, Aaron Lahman ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging solution that consists of a console application and two static libraries

  Hi, I am porting a project that was written in VS 6.0 to VS 2005. This is pure C++ project. The project consists of one console application and two static libraries. In order to make it clean, I have created a new solutions and copied the source files from the old projects. I have made the appropriate changes so the solutions are compiling and linking. The console application is the main solution and I have added the static libraries solutions to it. I have two problems which I think they might be related: 1) While linking I see the following warning: Warning 11 warning LNK4099: PDB 'vc80.pdb' was not found with '..\..\IPStreamer_Lib\debug\IPStreamer_Lib.lib' or at 'c:\Projects\General\TSSplicing\IPStreamerTester\debug\vc80 ...Show All

  I have install the Northwind sample database by entering at the DOS prompt osql -E -S (local)\sqlexpress -i instnwnd.sql which runs through lots of numbers so I assume has all gone ok.

• SQL Server Calling debugger from SSMS

  I realize that the DEBUG capability has been removed from SSMS and moved to the IDe for Visual Studio. As much as that annoys me , I am dealing with it. Is there a way I can open a SP into the debugger from SSMS I very much miss the ability to right click a SP in my list of 300 and choose form edit, run or debug.

  Hello (VB.Net & Sql 2005) i need to update a DataTable on the server (Sql) from different clients. Updating can occur at the same time from 2 or more clients. if i use datasets, the database might have been changed since the time i've loaded the data into the dataset. So, suppose that im Client1 and i'm gonna add to the amount of a Column in a table in my dataset , but the column in the database has been updated(changed) by Client2 after i've loaded the DataTable into my Dataset. in this case, if i update the database using my dataset, the change that Client2 has made to the data is ignored and lost.

• Visual C# File.Copy gets NotSupportedException or, does it?

  Hello, I have an application that copies files. fairly simple. I call the IO.File.Copy() method to do it. however, with some files I get an error. "The given path's format is not supported." The files this occur on are random and doesn't seem to tag to a specific file as if I rerun the program again it will copy the file that failed before without error. I figured it was just a problem with the string variable I used for the method as if it was incorrect or something. Here comes the weird part. I checked the location where the file is suppose to be copied to and the file is there. The exception is raised after the file is copied. I checked the file itself and there is no corruptions. I also checked the string variable b ...Show All
