I believe there is a Documents collection in the container, with a LastUpdated property. Something like tables.documents("sometable").Lastupdated I may have the syntax wrong and I'm on an iPad at the moment so I can't test it. Jim

I have had to re-activate Windows 7 after installing only a new SSD, on several occasions. However, in these cases it may be that there were other hardware changes since the first time Windows was activated--I'm not sure how often Windows "phones home" to check activation--but I'd replaced...

I will chime in with an elaboration on guitarzan's point. But first, I don't blame you for having the mistrust of MS, it's something that is warranted but at the same time there's little we can do about it if we're going to be working in the MS environment. But what I'd add to the point about...

Are you mapping a drive on the other machines to this "hub" machine to provide access, or just trying to drill down in the Network-->Computer-->Share nodes in Windows Explorer? I ask because I've always found it easier to completely avoid the whole "Homegroup" construct and just map drives...

Ok, here is what I found: I tried every combination of two ports for the two PC's, and found one that worked. So, if I use two *specific* ports, I get the full gigabit speed. So it appears that two of the 4 (not including WAN) ports are bad--they will only transmit at 100 Mbps. The other two...

Vince, There are over a dozen config settings, but, for both PC's nics, anything 'power-saving' or 'green' is disabled, the 'disable gigabit' is disabled. There is the Speed & Duplex option--which has always been 'auto negotiate', but just now I forced both to 1.0 Gbps, and still I get the 11...

Hi, This is a home router, and we had a severe storm the other day and the router stopped working (temporarily). It must've been a lightning surge--but it didn't destroy the router--it destroyed the power supply. So I got a new power adapter of the same rating and the router booted and...

Have you tried using dbOpenSnapshot instead of dbOpenDynaset for the OpenRecordset method? --Jim

rclarke, That sounds like the ticket...I'll try that and see. Thanks, --Jim

MSI FM2-A55-M-E33 Thanks, --Jim

Hi all, My new mb's UEFI bios always goes to some sort of unix shell, and I have to type exit to actually boot to Windows (the only os I have on this box). How can I make this thing just boot up and not go into the shell? Thanks, --Jim

Jimbo, Thanks very much that was concise and makes sense. Ali, Thanks, I'll check out that link and see what's revealed... --Jim

Hi all, Just an academic question that's been bugging me: I have a wireless connection and an ethernet port on my laptop at my desk. I leave the wireless on most of the time because I unplug the ethernet when going to a conference room, for example. So my question is--when I'm at my desk...

Not sure if this will help w/odbc, but with oledb anyway, I usually see the entire TNSNames.ora block for that dbname existing in-line in the connection string, followed by the rest of the stuff (user/pwd,driver, etc) --Jim

Mike, If you are specifically targeting Windows Desktop apps, then .Net is where you want to be. Even though it seems most stuff is web-based in Visual Studio, VS still has the templates for WinForms apps, Windows Services, Dlls, etc. And since you're used to VB6 then definitely VB.Net is the...

Mark, Thanks very much, that eases my mind a bit. --James

Hi all, Sorry if this is not the correct forum, I searched for "visual studio" and found nothing here forum-wise. Anyway, we have a C# web project that uses a server farm, each IIS server's site points to a single shared virtual folder holding the compiled app. But my question is--for global...

Ralph, Thanks very much! I will try that out, everything I've used from codeplex has been very good so this is promising. -Jim

Ok so I'll answer my own question... I don't know what the 'best practice' is, only that it is not to use the MS Excel interop object in IIS server code. JetCell and Aspose are two tools that I have heard anecdotal evidence that they will do some form of Excel manipulation, but I don't know...

jbenson, Thanks very much, I will look into that syntax and see what's there, --Jim
