• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to judge a field's value is already exist while inputing it?

  Hello, all, I am creating a database to manage all samples in our lab. Usually a sample in a tube is stored in a box which has several rows and columns. So one can find a sample according to the box#, the row# and the column#. I have designed a table including fields like "box#","row#" and "column#". The question is, when I input a box#, I hope the system can look it up in the existing record and tell whether it is a new box or an existing box. If it is a new one, I can start at row 1 and column 1, if it is an existing box, I can find the avalibale cell in it and put the tube in( or, the box is full). I tried to use DoCmd.FindRecord. There are two problems for me. 1) I can not use DoCmd.FindRecord Me ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems incorporating WorkflowCommitWorkBatchService

  Hi I'm currently building a state machine workflow with the OOB web service activities.  I'm using the OOB persistence service and i'm also saving information into a custom data model.  To ensure the consistency between the workflow state and the custom data model I am following the work batch approach.  This works fine however I have the following problem with this arrangement.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to start process in session before user logs on?

  I have a need to start a process in a session before the user logons on. On XP I used a Windows Logon Notification Package to do this. When a new session was created, Winlogon.exe in that new session called my WLNP and it was able to start the process before the user logged on. The process is used to support smart card logons for that session. I'm trying to find out how to do something similar on Vista. I know logon notification packages are no longer supported. I know how to write a service to get session creation notification, but I don't know how to start a process in the new session before the user logs on. Is there a function I can use to start a process in another session If so, I could have my session tracking sevice start th ...Show All
