    Something unknown keeps failing to connect to IP address 192.168.1.1

    Thank you, everybody, for your suggestions. I tried adding an alias to the host table and it made no difference, so I deleted the new entry. I had already searched the Registry - there was nothing there. Then I decided to grasp the nettle - try msconfig, disable all start up entries, and see...

    Something unknown keeps failing to connect to IP address 192.168.1.1

    Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no mention of 192.168.1.1 there.

    Something unknown keeps failing to connect to IP address 192.168.1.1

    I keep getting a message saying 'The server at 192.168.1.1 is taking too long to respond'. Can anyone suggest a way to determine what program or activity is responsible, please? Background: I used to have a LinkSys router (which uses the IP address 192.168.1.1). A year ago I changed to a...

    Determining the Sort Order of a Mail Merged Sorted List

    I have looked at faq68-582, which is essentially KB 294686, and I can make it work without too much difficulty. However, does anyone know a simple (and hopefully elegant!) way to determine the sort order of the list (i.e. so I get something other than just the alphabetical order of the...

    Reading an SQL database

    I followed the steps in, for example, http://iis.asu.edu/ceslab/kb/odbc_sqlserver.htm. Once the System DSN was set up, then Crystal Reports 9 shows it under what it calls ODBC(RDO). Why not ADO? Mainly because I know nothing about it! If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be willing...

    Reading an SQL database

    After many happy years with Visual FoxPro, I have been given a new school database program (SIMS.net), based on MS SQL Server 2005. I have set up an ODBC(RDO) connection through Windows XP Pro to the data, so I can read it via Crystal Report Designer 9. Everything appears to work fine, except...

    XP Pro - difference between Safe Mode and Clean Boot?

    Thanks, I'll try that. If drivers are at fault, I suspect a Power Management driver may be the problem - we'll see.

    XP Pro - difference between Safe Mode and Clean Boot?

    My IBM ThinkPad T20 with XP Pro SP2 has started to hang on startup at the XP Pro splash screen. The machine works in Safe Mode. I tried to carry out a fully Clean Boot as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 but it still hangs. I thought a fully Clean Boot would be the same as...

    File Download Size Limit?

    Thank you. I managed to get round the problem eventually by asking the "other end" to divide the file into smaller chunks. They still didn't explain why we had a problem, however, so I expect they had set some sort of limits, as you suspected.

    File Download Size Limit?

    I'm trying to download a very large file over the Net from a site that does not allow me to resume broken downloads. The downloads consistently fail at 9321 KB (using FlashGet). Is this the result of some obscure Windows 2000 setting on my PC which is limiting incoming download sizes? It's not...

    Excel 2002 default number format now 1 = 0.0001

    Ken Absolutely correct. I wonder how it happened, as I don't remember doing it! Many thanks - it was driving me mad.

    Excel 2002 default number format now 1 = 0.0001

    I cannot remember doing anything to make it happen but, for the past few days, every time I enter a number into ANY spreadsheet it appears with a decimal point and three zeroes in front of it. For example if I key in "1" then I see "0.0001". The cell format is reported as "General". When I try...

    Outlook 2000 Automatic Copy of Events to Other Users?

    We run Exchange Server and know how to share each other's calendars. However only our own events appear on our individual "Outlook Today" screens and only our own events set off reminder alarms on our workstations. My calendar and that of my boss share many common events and...

    Displaying grouped lists in specific page locations with CR9

    Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out and see where I get. Nick Stiven

    Displaying grouped lists in specific page locations with CR9

    Thanks. I thought as much. I have, however, found a reasonable solution to my formatting problem (even if it isn't perfect) by trying out a User Defined Label. I chose a Mailing Label format when I set up the report, then formatted the Details Layout through trial and error to end up with a...

    Displaying grouped lists in specific page locations with CR9

    Okay. I link 2 tables, {pupil} and {class}. The detail of my report is: {pupil.ageatdate}<space>(pupil.surname)(pupil.initials) Group #1 is by {pupil.class} sorted in ascending order and the group header is: Group #1 Name<space>{class.teacher} e.g. 3JS Miss Jane Smith 7.03 Barnes J 7.01...

    Displaying grouped lists in specific page locations with CR9

    I would like to publish a school class list (created in CR9) as a constantly updatable report, on our intranet via the Report Application Server. The report exists already and currently shows a list of pupils' names and ages, grouped by class name, with each group of names headed by the name of...

    CR 9 and PDF labels not printing correctly

    If anyone using A4 stationery (i.e. European users) has had this problem on a Windows 2000 network, I recently got the solution from Crystal Decisions support. You need to make sure that the Report Application Server service(which gets ePortfolio Lite working) is set to &quot;Log On&quot; as an...

    CR 9 and PDF labels not printing correctly

    I know that a problem concerning CR 8.5 printing OK from CR but not exporting Avery labels correctly to PDF was raised not long ago (and the answer was to get a particular export patch). Printing Crystal generated labels via a Web browser would be a really helpful capability. However, it seems...

    Getting Crystal 9 to recognise blank dates in Visual Foxpro

    Yes, according to colleagues with Crystal 7 and 8.5, these versions appear to behave like Crystal 6 when reading VFP blank dates. I rather wish I had upgraded to 8.5 instead of 9! In answer to your question, Crystal 9 shows December 30, 1899 as a browse value and reports December 30, 1899 as...
