    Calculating XIRR in SQL?

    Dude, I take back what i said before. I think the best way is to write a store procedure that will calculate the IRR in SQL Server. I come from a finance background and the formula is fairly simple. It may be a little tricky calculating in a database but it will not be difficult. Just make the...

    Yes. 1. VB front end application that uses the Excel library. 2. Access,Excel VBA macro. 3. C external stored procedure. I think there is a 80% chance that you will have a front end application of some kind. In the front end before you show the IRR calculate it. Without a front end. I would...

    I can not DTS?

    I suspect the person has created the DTS package with "NT User Authentication". You'll see what I mean when you try and save the package. It will ask you for a package name and User id password. Be the change that you want to see in the world - Mahatma Gandhi

    Probem edit SQL fields using Access linked Form to SQL.table.

    1. Check that you have indexed and set a primary key on your SQL table. Other than that I'm not sure. I did read information on data type conversions that ODBC does between SQL Server and Access in the BOL.

    SQL Server or Oracle

    There is some documentation on the Oracle Tec net website. www.oracle.com I think that Oracle has a lot less gui but it has very good free documentation and has some powerful features that SQL doesn't seem to have.
