Spam in siggy of post #4 reported.

Yeah, I finally got it fixed about 1:00 AM this morning. Seems you cannot install SSE on a computer that has the same name as the installing user name. There are features not covered in SSE (according to MS literature) that will make this take a lot longer than one would think. The system I...

Reasonable from your perspective. All I can tell you is why I like this site over others. The look and feel of the site (mostly because of vBulletin) is especially neat and easy to read and administer, as a user. Though UA has improved considerably since their upgrade, it is still easier to...

Your logic is impeccable. I do question your estimates, though. Time spent on this thread is pushing 10 minutes. Time trying (unsuccessfully) to install SSE this month is around 4 hours. I'm not sure if I can sell an install of SSE to my personal PC to my client, but I can sell a re-usable...

I got db converter (with a space). It is a gnu GPL thing. The google description said it converted MS SQL to Access but the program read-me says it is for converting Access to MySQL and Oracle. When I force google to "dbconverter" (without a space), the definitions and sources of the files...

I'm kind of doing that, but no, the names are not the same when importing. There is the naming problem and there are a LOT of tables (I don't want to go in and rename the tables by hand). I'm also worried about some views and stored procedures I am using and of course, the referential...

I thought about that but I didn't want to invest a lot of time in the SS Express install. I am only doing this to reverse engineer the design of the database so I can design a replacement for it; I don't need anything like perfection or any need to use it after I am done with the analysis work...

I'll check out dbConverter. Thanks, Banana!

I am working on revamping a SQL Server database with an Access 2002 front end. I'd like to set up the environment on my computer at home but I really don't want to mess around with SQL Server variants on my computer (I am using Vista). Is there a quick and easy way to downsize a SQL Server...

I'm not sure what people will do but I'd say based on UA's response and based on our own samples and demo sections that it would go over well. I am in the process of writing some wikis for the UA site and was going to cross post them here.

Go for it. Also, I noticed that they have a Wiki over at UA now. Any chance the new software has a user managed Wiki?

Happy birthday, Mr. T.

Man, I've been wracking my brain over this. I had no idea what a "hoover" effect was. I did all kinds of googles and just couldn't grok the concept. I assumed it was an April Fools type joke to capture a person's pointer on a control and not allow it to get very far away (similar to the old...

That is an interesting question. If it is just so you have a logo or something, you could just mock it up in photo shop or whatever and add it as a graphic. Maybe the OP is helping new businesses create logos (which one would think would be done better with a graphics tool). It is an...

The publishing suites have a control like this. I wonder why you couldn't just use one of their activeX controls? I'm sure there's at least 1 public domain/freeware publishing suite, right?

Does this give you something closer to what you need: SELECT name, Levels, Subject FROM Pupil_Results WHERE ((Pupil_Results.Subject)="Maths") GROUP BY Levels,name;If not, why not? In fact, what exactly do you need? Just use the query builder to get what you need...it should all be there if...

As far as being on the right track, you're getting closer. As far as the table design being correct, "no". There is no reason to include the Division foreign key in the junction table as you already have that from the Sub-division. As far as whether it is overall what seems right: <personal...

Always happy to help out.

I'm not sure what a division or sub-division is, actually. Is it a geographic boundary? A sports team classification? At any rate, if it is a geographic boundary, wouldn't a person be in one or more sub-divisions? When I consider the motion of people, I see them move 10 or more miles in a...

How stunningly accurate of you! Now see, you caught on that life imitates art. Nowadays, JR and Bobby are like paupers. We all have estates much larger and better than Southfork and we're not nearly as well educated. And our women are twice as treacherous (as measured on the highly...
