Thanks, zooraw. I've already accomplished what I needed to do by changing the field's datatype to varchar with a length of 50. (Turns out that float has a hidden length of 30.) After the field type was changed, I ran a repair routine I'd written earlier today to read the contents of the...

I need to change one SQLServer7 table's field datatype from float to varchar (or another datatype that will accept alphanumeric data). Sounded simple, but I've spent the whole day fixing the DB after the conversion changed the last significant digits of integer data to zeros. I set the field...

mkhwood, 1. Single NIC? 2. Will work with no modems, no dial up? If yes on both, I'll pursue setting up a VPN. Thanks!

That's what I was afraid of. Meanwhile, I'll just see if I can't get WtsFtp to do what I need. Thanks.

I need a substitute for Windows File Sharing via Mapped Network Drives that I've used for years with Windows Explorer to manage several remote web servers. VPN is the suggested solution. However, in dipping my toe in the water to set it up, it seems that 2 NICs are needed and that dial-up is...

Everything went fine until it appeared to need two NICs on one of the servers unless I can use the Loopback Adapter. Thanks for all your help.

It is, and Road Runner is the service. Guess I either have to figure out how to change the ports used for the remote drives or how to configure a VPN for what I need. Guess it's Google time.... Thanks again.

It's my mistake. I'm not using WTC. I'm using Windows Terminal Services Connections. I should have said WTS, but it's been a REALLY long day. Sorry. It's not DSL either. The servers are on a T1 line and the workstation connects via a cable modem. The ISP scenario fits the timeframe of what...

mhkwood, No error on NET USE. It just reports the status of the mapped drives. All the LAN drives have a status of OK, and all the remote drives have a status of Unavailable. NET VIEW (with no parameters) yields the names of the LAN computers with the message "The command completed...

Tried that. It has no effect.

I manage 4 W2k servers over WTC and also map their drives to my W2k Pro workstation for easy maintenance using Windows Explorer. One of the servers replicates an SQL7 databast to the workstation. All the computers can ping one another, WTC works fine, and the SQL replication also works fine...
