    substring extraction

    Hi I have a field that holds a filepath, e.g. c:\program files\document.doc What I would like to do is extraact the file name, i.e. document.doc I thought I could use a combination of the right and patindex commands to extract this by checking for the first occurence of the backslash from...

    Insert text in another table by using a Trigger.

    I'm trying to create a trigger that will change part of a text field. So, because I can't use text fields from the Inserted table the plan was to copy the inserted fields to a table using a join. So I have the following code, but it won't update the text field, but does update the id field...

    BACKUP DATABASE

    The secret is to write in proper case :D This can happen sometimes, e.g. when GoldMine is not shut properly. You can check the users logged in from the User Settings screen. If it is showing users still logged in then log into GM as that user, then log them out. or, Just close the open...

    Delete entire database

    Well without knowing the full implicatios of what has happened then without installing you have two options: 1. Create a new blank database (File | New Database) 2. Run Global Delete wizard (Tools | Delete Records Wizard)

    New Users

    1. Create the new user from the User Settings screen (File | Configure | User Settings) 2. Do not delete the old user at this stage 3. Log in as the old user 4. View the Activity List (F6) 5. Right-click and use the Roll over option to re-assign the activities displayed.

    Maximizer import

    The data source would be a ODBC datasource using the Maximizer ODBC driver. This should be available on the machine with Maximiser installed.

    Change Username?

    Hi Yes that is correct. You would move the schedule item over from the Activity List by viewing all dates in the Open tab and using the Rollover function.

    Change Username?

    Hi You can't change the username. The best approach is to clone the user, and then rollover her scheduled activities to the newly created user. Historic activities will have to stay the same, and the history can't be change like a Hollywood movie.

    Accpac and MYOB

    MYOB has an additional ODBC driver to allow you to access the database - but costs a fair bit. I know that MYOB has export function under the file menu.

    SQL errors out on date functions

    Hi Because it's a dBase system it doesn't support all the keywords used by SQL, so hence date(), getdate() etc doesn't work.

    Goldmine Logging

    Are you view the logs from the central server or from a remote site? As far as I am aware this logging is always on.

    How do I separate my Contacts from Companies?

    Hi You are correct, this is one of GoldMine's flaws. A workaround is to use ActivOrg from www.activip.com. This will allow you to update specified fieldds of contacts linked via the organisational chart. So if you change the address on one record it will propogate to the other records...

    Update Fields with Changes in F2 Lookup Tables

    You can't do this in GoldMine automatically without some extra programming work. You would have to create a filter. Industry = Engineering Then do a global replace on those records.

    backup

    You have to be a Master user to access the backup / restore options. The Calendar is shared between all contact set databases. Therefore, when you created a new database you just created a new contact database, not a new calendar.

    Syncing with Palm 650

    Are you syncing the Palm with Outlook as well? You might want to look at www.companionlink.com, I haven't used it myself so can't vouch for it.
