Got it by (see =>): =>DSNewName = Cache("DSNewName") KSddlNewName.DataSource = DSNewName KSddlNewName.DataTextField = "Expr4" KSddlNewName.DataValueField = "ZNumber" KSddlNewName.DataBind() KSddlNewName.Items.Insert(0, "") KSddlNewName2.DataSource =...

ca8msm, Correct...I'm trying to build the KSddlNewName ddl from the cached dataset DSNewName

Here's my code. I can't get the ddls to populate when the pages loads. I've only got two built in the code so far, but we want to be able to support 5-10 when the code goes live. I know the sprocs work, since since I tried using cache for the datasets, the ddls wouldn't populate. The...

Got it: check the allow "Blank Value" box for the parameter, then click "View Report" when the report is run! Thanks!

I have a query that uses a parameter for a person's last name in the where clause. I'd like to figure out how to get the report to pull all names the first time the report is run, then allow the user to specify specific records afterwards. I can't get the default values right, or I'm missing...

The dataset is created in cache from a previous / startup page. I declare the var: Dim dsContacts As dsContacts ..above the Page_Load event

Below is the code for the Page_load and button click event. When the button is clicked, I get: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ..which happens @: Line 80: rowNew = dsContacts.Contacts.NewContactsRow Dim adptContacts As SqlDataAdapter Dim dsContacts As dsContacts...

BoulderBum, Thanks for the extra eyes on that one! It was the case sensitivity.

I've been asked that on another forum about the adapter. The "lab" for this chapter has you cache the connection, adapter, and the dataset. Thanks for the help!

I'm working through the MCAD training, and can't seems to get a dropdownlist to populate from a cached dataset: ********** Here's the code on the first page: Private Sub Page_Load(....) If Not IsPostBack Then AddtoCache("adptCalls", DA1) AddtoCache("adptContactTypes"...

Okay, it was a bit easier than I thought. 1. Go to Control Panel / Users Accounts / Change the way users log on or off 2. Un-check "Use the Welcome screen". This will now use the classic option where users are prompted for a username / password 3. I set the Computer administrator User...

One of our admin people uses a machine that others can get to. There is a folder on the hard drive she'd like to protect. I know I can create another user to log onto the machnine, but my questions are: 1. Can I password protect each account icon on the desktop (or just the admin's icon) 2...

ca8msm, That's doing the trick....using FindControl()! Thanks!

I'll try that! Thanks so much for the help! I'm getting closer with this whole thing!
