• SQL Server Sql Reporting Service 2005 Printing Issue!

  Hi, I have created reports using sql server Reporting serivce 2005. While printing i am running into issue.The issue is after each page ,a new blank page get inserted .For 2 pages i am getting 2 blank pages inserted between . How to work around this .Please any one let me know .Thanks in advance . I had the same problem. Well you will either set page settings to landscape or portrait. Lets say for example that you have portrait settings 8" X 11", the sum of your margins and page settings must not exceed the portrait settings. So margins (width) + page (width) <= 8" or the page will double The same also applies with the height. Try exporting to pdf, and have a look visually. Let me know how it goes. Ken ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting to SQL 2000 from Access 2003 Data Access Project

  I have an Access project that is under Terminal Services (TS) on a Windows 2003 server. When I create a project I can setup a connection and see the SQL table in the 'Tables' tab in Access. I can use Design mode to view the table setup but when I try to view the data in the table I get an error saying 'Data Provider could not be initialized'. SQL server is on Windows server 2000. When I access data using a connection in VB everthing is fine, no error. I have 5 TS servers and managed to get the situation resolved on one of them about a year ago but cannot recall what was done. I seem to remember that it was something like changing one of the DLLs to a slightly older version. Does anyone know the answer to this one &nbs ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Enable/Disable SideShow Gadgets ouside of Control Panel?

  Is there a way to enable and disable SideShow Gadgets ouside of the SideShow Control Panel Thanks Hi Steven, Please note that this is probably unsupported. After playing around with ProcMon (download from technet) and my Momento Digitial Photo Frame I discovered that a few registry entries are changed when you enable/disable a gadget. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\{device ID}\UMB\{second device ID}\Device Parameters\WindowsSideShow You will notice registry pairs for each SideShow gadget currently installed. The DWORD value for on is '1' and off is '0'. If you ensure that both values are the same then you should be able to enable-disable the gadgets in the SideShow Control Panel automatically.

• Visual FoxPro One basic question, one not so basic

  I am attempting to write some functionality using the winsock control with VFP 6.0. I have a pretty good understanding of winsock itself, but I'm having trouble accessing the object from my code. So here are my two options, neither of which I can figure out right now: 1) The object is defined on a form, but needs to be accessed from code in a .prg. I have never been able to figure out how to access an object on a form from a .prg in FoxPro. In VB, no problem, but in FoxPro, if I say form1.objectname.member, it says it doesn't know what form1 is. 2) I can create the object in the .prg (which I would prefer). I have no idea how to go about this in FoxPro. I am currently attempting to do the whole thing in a form, but thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching Strategy For Dynamic Environment

  I am working in a very dynamic environment where several different features and bug fixes are worked on simultaneously by many different developers. The project is a large public facing website that must have bugs resolved quickly and has constantly revolving promotions. We are having a problem deploying changes quickly when some technical features may take weeks to develop while other minor ad campaigns may take only days to develop. So I was thinking that an environment like this would benefit from each developer having a private branch. and then merging in chages to the main branch when a feature was complete. I set up a prototype of this environment and private branches seem very clunky in Team Foundation Server. I have seen many peopl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions AutoIncrementing UniqueIdentifier column in SQL databse table giving NoNullAllowedException!

  Visual Basic 2005 Express: In my SQL database table, I have a CustomerNbr column. In Database Explorer's table definition it has "UniqueIdentifier" as it's data type, and is set as the PrimaryKey. In the XSD Designer, this field is set as the primary key, AutoIncrement=True. DefaultValue is <DbNull>, but, it won't let me remove this! When I add a record to the DataGridView, it correctly puts a "1" in the CustomerNbr column, but, when I update the record, I get a System.Data.NoNullAllowedException! back to the original problem, I had a look at the database schema. The problem was that the uniqueIdentifier field - you cannot set it to autoincrement but its set to uniq ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Speech Recognition in different languages

  Hi all! I have a very general question that I would just like to get confirmed. (Not sure if this is the right forum for this, no harm intended.) Is it true that Windows Vista Home and Business Edition only ships with the SRE for the language of the Installation In other words, if I bought a Chinese version of Windows Vista I would not be able to set the SRE to English and use it with English input If so, are there, or will there be any downloads made available that will allow me to patch this in order to use other languages then the default installation language of my OS I know that you can get the MUI's from Microsoft, but is it possible to install several of those on a machine running Home or Business According to this site : ...Show All
