    Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions

    Ooops... I think we all assumed he was searching for the Developer Tools to distribute his application to people who didn't have Access and that he already knew how to make a .MDE, trap for errors etc., and simply addressed it as such.

    Dataset Default Values

    Well I dont work with SQL Server 2000, but if I remember correctly a bit field is basically a True/False statement. First I would check your row and see if your defualt value was automatically transposed into your new row. The dataset should be pulling that value what ever it is, if it has a...

    Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions

    Or... You could go down the route of Visual Studio.Net 2005 Express editions. Those are free along with SQL Server 2005 Express edition (free to develop and deploy). Actually Microsoft (SQL Server 2005 Express), Oracle (10g Express Edition) and IBM (DB2 Express-C) are all free to develop with...

    CODE ASSISTANT - @mztools.com

    Same here... I haven't used the one for .Net, just the free VBA version for Access. I use CodeRush for .Net, but I will probably give it a look.

    Securing the Application from Theft

    True. There are some applications that are 'reasonably' priced. Some I think operate on the 'fear' tactic and I feel are simply waaaaaaaaaaay over priced. There are some you can combine together with others to get the 'ultimate' package, like layering encryption etc. I would make a list of...

    Securing the Application from Theft

    Well a MDE isn't going to stop other people from copying and pasting your application so it is going to have to have additional protection. There was a sample here floating around about writing registry entries as an example of one form of protection and you could expand from there... That is...

    Access V.S. MySQL

    I looked at the ratings of which MySQL was involved in with the Big Three, and MySQL was in there next to the top. Unfortunately, if you plan to embed the database into your application and distribute it, then there is a charge, which honestly doesn’t make any sense because Microsoft, Oracle...

    JET pulling All Data from SQL Sever in a Query

    I found an article on the internet on how to stop this, but for the life of me I can't remember it or find it. The article stated that even though you were limiting your returned set of data from SQL Server by using a 'Where' clause etc. JET still pulled all of the data. The solution has to...

    Calculations in forms...

    Why do you want to store the calculated values? Edit----- One problem with storing calculated values is that you have no history on how you came to that value, unless you also store the components of the equation. And if you do that then why store it? Also if you don't store your components...

    Calculations in forms...

    Try checking your Data Type for your 'Value1' and your 'Value2' in your table. Make sure it is a Number and if it has a decimal in use (Your values that you are working with) then on the General tab, change the 'Field size' to Double. For database structure - Normalization - take a look at this...

    Copyright issues, Reverse Engineering, Software Protection

    There are posts here (I believe they are still here, the site was hacked a while back) about using the registry for some level of protection. Your program simply looks for a registry key. Others use some form of 'hardware' locking via software, where you can lock your program to the users...

    Copyright issues, Reverse Engineering, Software Protection

    .mde would help. Although making your application an .mde isn't going to stop other users from using your application for their purposes... thats like a copy and paste application. Unless you make other modifications for protection.

    Copyright issues, Reverse Engineering, Software Protection

    First map out what exactly you want... what level of protection, hardware locking, transferable rights, support Access and .Net etc. Then do an internet search for software protection and research the chosen companies profile, support plans and opinions of users etc if you plan to buy the...
