yeah, so the only way is for the user of the form to have pdf reader... it would be nice to create an HTML form that mail-merged a .PDF or .DOC to me, but that's just a lot of work. unless there is some sort of library that already does this with php or some similar web language, maybe this...

Yes, I guess this is the obvious solution. So as long as you have adobe reader, you can fill out a fillable form i make in adobe standard. That makes sense. Thank you all.

Well having microsoft word would be extra software. I want someone who doesn't have word or any MS product, and no PDF writer to be able to fill out this form, save it, and send it back.

Hi, I have a MS Word document that is just a form like you would fill out at a doctor's office or job interview, and I need to turn into a PDF. The issue is not the conversion. The issue is once it is converted I want the form fields inside the PDF to be editable. So if I put this PDF out on...

Hi, I am new to Java Web Services. A team member and I are beginning a new project where we are gathering some data from eBay via their API and then taking that data to do CRUD actions on a local MS SQL Database on our network. We want to write this in Java. The architectural model we chose...

really? yeah I guess the next step is to ask a lawyer, but i was kind of hoping someone might be able to at least lead me in the right direction or point me to some documentation on this. It's not like I have developed anything ground breaking, I just have some business contacts that would...

Hi, I have been learning ASP.NET on and off for a while now and I have created a pretty cool little application in my spare time. I think people might actually buy it if I decide I am going to sell it. All I used to make it was Visual Web Developer and SQL Express 2005/2008 which are both...

Woops I posted this in the wrong forums. Sorry, it can be deleted by a mod. I will post it in the ASP forums. Again, I apologize.

Ok, I think I have bitten off more than I can chew once again. I used the idea of a WHILE loop in SQL like gmmastros said to make a whole new query. I am pretty new to JOINs and avoiding Stored Procedures for everything (such a bad habit). But alas, I had to revert to the Stored Procedure for...

I didn't forget about this post, I plan to post my stats. But, I am actually adjusting my query a little bit, and trying to apply George's and Markros' ideas to a larger query and I am having troubles. I just need a little time to tinker, I guess I am not a SQL master like you two yet! :-)...

George + Markros I just used both of your methods and it seems everything returned is 0 or 1 ms. I guess my DB is too small to really measure the query effectiveness?? The DB is 3 GB, but the Sales table is only about 250 MB and the Items is only 200 MB and Inventory is even smaller. Is...

George, thanks a lot!!! That was an awesome explanation. I want to compare these performance numbers but I don't know any other way to compare them besides just looking at how long it took the query to run in the bottom right corner of SSMS. Usually it either says 0.00 or 1 second. So is...

markros I am not sure I understand... I am inner joining with the sales table. How would I do this?

I am not that familiar with the ins and outs of SQL queries, but I can usually get things done with a stored procedure, but I have decided this is one time where I absolutely know what I am doing can be done in just one simple query, I am just not sure what I need to do next. My Stored Proc...
