    Ampersands in CHAR fields

    I have a SP which is populating a table (LOINT_Master) from another (LTMSPF). The problem is that when the field LTMSPF.LTXDS1 contains an ampersand ("&"), the ampersand is stripped out of the corresponding CHAR field in LOINT_Master (LOINT_Master.Property_Location). LTMSPF was populated from...

    Windows 7 and Sony laptop

    Nearly two years ago, I bought a Sony Vaio laptop (VGN-CR220E), with Vista on it. I suffered through all of the Vista quirks and service pack upgrades. Finally, with SP2, it's reasonably stable, but it could be better. I pre-ordered Windows 7 from the Microsoft Store, after finding only one...

    Laptop with Vista Home Premium doesn't recognize USB key
