• Visual Studio Express Editions Help! Can't open projects or start new ones.

  I'm trying to set up VC++ Express 2005 on my laptop. The first time I installed it, everything worked fine. I could load the project I was working on and run it in debug mode. However, then I made the "mistake" of trying to open the project from another user account (both are at administrator level) on the same laptop. VC++ immediately crashed on me. Going back to the user account that I installed VC++ with made no difference. Now I can't: 1. Open an existing project. (It will crash VC++.) 2. Start a new project. (It will say "project creation failed.") I had the following installed, in this order: 1. Visual C++ Express 2005 2. Windows Platform SDK 3.

• SQL Server table name too long via ODBC

  Hi, I am traing to execute this select SELECT count(*) CM_CERT_VARIANCE_DET_APINV_RELATE using SQL SERVER ODBC, however, I received this message: "Identifer too long" Is there any table length name limitation I think, there is, because works well on SQL environment. I mean, should this table have less then 18 characters Can I work around this limitation cheers, Alessandro Hi Alessandro, I'm guessing that you didn't do a copy-and-paste and simply missed the from clause SELECT count(*) FROM CM_CERT_VARIANCE_DET_APINV_RELATE If not, you can try executing SELECT count(*) FROM [ CM_CERT_VARIANCE_DET_APINV_RELATE] How are you executing the statement (eg.

• Audio and Video Development Subdirectories in ACA files

  Peter Torr - MSFT wrote: Note that you can't have subdirectories in an ACA; only files. Does it not conform to the spec to have subdirectories in ACA files CreateACA allows to create files with paths, iHDSim (0.1) and the Toshiba consumer players work fine with ACAs like this. It would be a shame because it really helps to keep projects tidy....

  At this stage in the project I have a simple fact table which currently holds the low level data. I have designed and built a cube around this table and everything works fine with the current data.
