hi Im setting up a domain in win2k and am currently setting up dns and active directory. The books i have show it sets up the domain name as eg microsoft.com yet when i set it all up it sets up as conquest.conquestfoods.com. The conquest bit is my domain (old workgroup name) and the...

i've already done this. its actually a peer to peer workgroup but it is part of the same workgroup and file and print services are set up. i can see the win 2k machine in network neighbourhood on the 98 machine and connect to the shared files but cannot see or use the shared printer. regards dan

Does anyone know why on my windows 2000 machine all the other 2000 machines can be seen in my network places but the windows 98 machines cant. because of this it wont let me share the printer. Ive got file sharing etc set to on. Any help much appreciated. Dan

thanks for your reply i didnt know you could use sql in forms. I thought you could only use vba. Im okay getting the data input but the function i need to do is as follows. When the user goes to enter a new order they input the customer the order date etc and then move onto the product. When...

not sure if i've got the right end of the stick here but have you tried date() instead of now(). If this doesnt help can you post more info.

Hi I have a part built win 2k domain. i have been testing it and have found out that users can go into network neighbourhood and delete the shared folder or the contents. I've tried a number of different ways and some stop the deletion but then dont allow any access. Does anyone have any...

thanks again for your reply. i've worked something out that if i open the file in imaging then save it as bmp, jpeg etc then come out of imaging and try to open it again normally by clicking on it then it works. very strange. I'll keep plugging away, maybe i did the registry thing wrong...

thanks for your reply. unfortunately it still wont work. i've managed to find a workaround but its still awkward and i dont get it. regards dan

Does anyone know why i can open jpeg, bmp etc files when i am in administrator/power users mode in win 2k yet when i go into restricted users mode i cant, it says 'no file information can be found in the registry'. The users have to be restricted in what they can do for security purposes but...

thanks for your help. the problem was that i hadnt converted my file system to ntfs. i've done that now but i'm still struggling a bit. ive managed to enable people to read and amend the file/folder but not delete it (it took me about 12 hours to work it out) but when i save it it creates...
