If I log into TS as user, they have restrictions on DOS so I can't go to DOS. I can log in as administrator to TS, but they don't have any...

    Report Distribution Expert

    Am a little confused by the Report Distribution Expert in Crystal 8.5. Can I not, with the Compile Report option, compile a Crystal Report into an .exe format and throw it on a network share so that all users with or without Crystal loaded on their PC could execute it? Or do I need to also go...

    Output Query Analyzer

    This is a very stupid question, but I have about 10 Queries in query analyzer I would like to capture the output to. Ideally I'd like to capture the query and the output in one readable file, but will settle for capturing the results (including the column headers). Is there a good way of doing...

    Pivot - Select column data

    I have a pivottable with Year and Quarter in the Column Data of the pivot table. Is there a way for an end user to not display Quarter information at all if they just want results by year? I've tried de-selecting Quarters using the pull-down, but it seems at least one quarter must be selected...

    Point in Time restore on a single table

    Think I know the answer, but is it possible to do a "point-in-time" restore to an individual SQL table? Leave the rest of the database intact but restore a single table back to a certain point in time.(using SQL 2000). I think the answer would be to restore the whole database to a new database...
