    Is There Any Easy Way to Get a DB2 database into SQL 2000?

    Are you are asking how to move a DB2 database to an older version of Microsoft SQL Server? If so, you would do better asking your question in one of the SQL Server fora.

    The Maplin site says "software supplied" which seems to indicate that an OEM driver is required.

    Question mark in corner of frame's client area

    Picture property is set to none on the form. And yes I unintentionally pasted a clipboard jpeg onto the reply space. No picture will be forthcoming since the corporation does not allow uploads to sites like box.net

    Question mark in corner of frame's client area

    Thanx, Andy. The "What's This" buttons are set to false and the Min/Max button settings have no effect. So I am not having fun yet. [nosmiley]

    For our New Members

    I'm in Central Texas, a displaced Yankee in the home of Big Oil. Somewhere along the way I got a PhD in a field that is vaguely related to Mathematics, Statistics & Metrology. I have worked in petroleum exploration & refining since I stopped teaching Medical School.

    Question mark in corner of frame's client area

    A "question mark" icon (?) just appeared in the corner of the client area of a frame, just below the menu bar. The item shows up in both the designer IDE and in the compiled application. Can anyone tell me what this is and how to get rid of it? Thanx.

    Hard drive write protected.

    Do you have a firewall other than Windows native running? Once by mistake I answered a Comodo firewall alert incorrectly and Comodo proceeded to write-protect the contents of an entire partition.

    COM call never comes back

    I have seen problems w/ similar appearance where the DCOM server does not properly segregate it's user and call state-specific data. In very high traffic situations the state of one caller gets partially overwritten by a "concurrent" call from another user. Because the reference counts are not...

    Async VB6 socket TCP design question

    Are you committed to doing this in VB6? C++ would seem to be a much better implementation choice.

    not using available USB 2.0

    If you are running SP2 you probably need to install the USB 2.0 drivers manually. For systems that were originally installed as XP pre-SP2 there was no support for USB 2.0, and the 2.0 drivers do not install automatically from Windows update. So upgrade them manually by selecting a USB 2.0...

    Emulating a Comm port with a USB port - how to do?

    Comm ports are enumerated sequentially in the registry hive HLKM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM. The new Quatech devices are USB 2.0 We find performance limitations are related more to the computer controlling the serial devices and the threading model of the communications software used. Be...

    Emulating a Comm port with a USB port - how to do?

    You might also look at Quatech's line of Serial -> USB adapters. We make enxtensive use of them on a manufacturing floor and find them to be robust and reliable. They require only a WinXP driver that comes with the adapter. They come in 2,4,8,16 & 32 comm port versions.

    Is VB to AS/400 possible?

    I have a large number (> 20) of VB6 and C# applications connecting to an AS/400 using ADO/ADO.Net and the IBM driver. The connection is robust and performs well over a corporate network and a manufacturing floor subnet.
