• SQL Server Permissions for SSAS Service Account?

  Hi All, Please help with this. I'm running a server with Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise x64 Edition. On the box I've performed one named instance installation of SSAS. I've installed SP1 as well. There's no firewall running on the machine. My domain account is in the SSAS Server role. SSAS Service is running according to SQL Configuration Manager SQL Browser Service is running according to SQL Configuration Manager If I run both SSAS and SQL Browser under Local System, everything works OK. But this is not the way I want it, because it's not safe and SSAS is unable to read data from the remote SQL box. If I change the service account to a domain user account, I can't connect to SSAs anymore. The error mes ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista dsnetwork problem

  I am having problems programming the dsnetwork interface in my application. Strange errors show up and its help on msdn is totally messed up. Firstly, I wanna ask about the IID_IMulticastConfig. Where is it defined. I have added the dsnetifc.h as well but to no use, I cant find the CLSID for it. I hope someone here has worked on DsNetwork. I really need help on it!

• Windows Search Technologies no search results

  I recently had a corrupted registry that prevented my WinXP pro machine from booting. Our Tech Support team was able to repair it, but it appears my workstation is still somewhat crippled. I had to reinstall all of the software back on it, and lately I've noticed that the Search function within File Explorer fails to return correct results. I have several .asp text files in a folder, at least three contain the result I'm looking for, and the search only returns one instance of these files. Refining the search makes it worse. I get no results at all, when I'm certain there are more than three instances of the string I'm looking for within the files in this folder. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Hello Genaro, The search ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 2 questions on WPF

  1) Is it possible to hide Title text and Icon in my Window I want it visible in Tasmanager but not in Window caption bar. Is there some property (bool)IconVisible like in WinForms 2) How to Clear Focus on TextBox When my TextBox is Focused, I want to programaticaly remove that focus, is it posible There is only LostFocus event, I am looking for some method to clear focus. (1) There is no property on Window object that allows you to hide the icon and title text only. You can remove the caption bar entirely by setting WindowStyle =None, but that would also remove the system buttons (min/max/close). You can create them by yourself via simple buttons and hook them up their functionlitys via WindowState property and Close meh ...Show All

  Can I trap the 'activate' of my app I want to turn on caps lock every time the user selects the VFP application. I don't want to do this at the start of the app because the user may minimize the app and then get back to it. Thx. Why in the world would you make everything in Caps Any form field that needs caps should have it set in the format property. MANY USERS DON'T LIKE CAPS IN THEIR EDIT BOXES BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO READ.

• SQL Server Is it possible?

  Hi, I am planning to use Reporting Services (2005) in our CMS environment where each customer has it's own (similar) database. The basic idea is that each customer can access it's own reports or make use of some generic reports. Any suggestion how to accomplish this Thanks in advance, Frank Custom (report-specific) data sources allow you to specify the connection string as part of an expression (see "dynamic source expressions topic in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156450.aspx ). So, you could parameterize the "database value" to create a dynamic connection string ala: = "server=myserver;uid=someusername;pwd=somepassword;database= " & Parameter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Component Question

  Hi again, I've been trying to build a component as Express doesnt come with a component template, does anyone know what code I need to insert in order for it to work correctly I am sure its not as simple as merely putting 'Inherits Component' under the class declaration, I'm pretty sure you have to some stuff with the 'New' and there's also a 'Site' property that needs sorting out. Like I said, I'm new to this, but if anyone could post the generated code for a new component, that would be great. Thanks again. Okay, I found out where the component name is situated. If you inherit from Component, you can access the name property of the component from Mybase.Site.Name That brings me to another question, assuming you cr ...Show All
