• SQL Server Unable to Modify or Add in SQL Server Management Studio

  I've imported some databases into 2005 Analysis services from 2000 and processed them successfully. But, I'm unable to modify any of the cubes. I also can't add any objects in a database. It lets me create a database however but I can't create the objects. For example, when I right click on the Cubes folder, the only menu item I see is Refresh. When I right click on a cube, there is no Modify menu item. Can anyone help me achieve getting the ability to create and modify Thanks, Rob I'm not sure what the BOL is talking about there, could be a doc bug since I don't see a Modify at all. But its easy to modify the objects from BIDS (BI Development Studio) by connecting directly to the server and modifing the objects directl ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Changing from a 2 server to 3 server architecture....

  If I decide to create a new application server to host the Central Admin, Index, and/or Query roles will I get a noticeable performance boost overall for 100+ users or is this more just a security design consideration Is it easy enough to simply add the application server later if performance is an issues I believe I can remove the Central Admin role from my current server using the Config Wizard and add it to my application server easy enough Personally if your going to add that extra server I would move the Index to that and keep that box for index only.. Let you front ends run the search and queries and balance that load. The Central Admin is recomended to be put on an App Server but it works fi ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to using variables stored in VB6 in my .Net forms?

  Hi I have a vb6 application who should have been upgraded to .Net, and finally it seems that this toolkit (Interop Forms Toolkit 1.0) can help do the upgrade in steps. My Question is: Is it possible to call my variables I have used in my VB6 code in my new .Net Forms Jan Yes.  Your .NET code can access your VB6 variables.  There are a several options for doing this and it really depends on what you want to do with the variables.  Here are a couple examples of what you might do: * If you want to pass the data into your Interop Form, you could define a constructor (Initializer) to take in the variable or you could add a property allowing you to pass in the variable.  See the section called ...Show All

• Visual Studio "Active Files" dropdown button causing VS to hang

  We have our own custom project that we have implemented. When there are any editors, including just the "Start" page, open and you press on the "Active Files" dropdown arrow right beside the "x" at the top right corner. Visual Studio will hang... I'm assuming there is some interface on my project or something like that that is not producing the right response or endless loop. But I have no idea on where to throw a breakpoint to check this. Pressing "Pause" in the debugger doesn't get me anywhere. Does anyone know what interface method is being called so that I can trace this sucker down. Thanks for any help I added logging to the QueryStatus of my pr ...Show All
