    Multiple Desktop's??? Issue since upgrading to SP2

    i checked the registry entries and everything seemed correct. I still get the issue and it drives me crazy. One other piece to the puzzle, once the multiple desktops show up, if you hit F5 to refresh you'll get another instance of the desktop to show up. Very strange. Specs on the computer...

    General Administration Questions...I'm a Newbie

    Thanks for the reply and recommendation of the book by Mark Minasi. I have a stable handle on the server as we run SBS2000 in my office and I've slowly been taking over responsibility for it. The SBS2003 computer is my home computer which is basically a testing ground for when we upgrade and...

    General Administration Questions...I'm a Newbie

    I just upgraded a computer from XP SP2 to SBS2003 and have everything running just fine...i.e. Exchange, OWA, Remote Desktop, FTP (serv-u), and IIS.

    Convert a Text YYYYMMDD (20041228) to a Date

    Here's what I use..... Date (ToNumber (Mid ({table.date},1 , 4)), ToNumber (Mid ({table.date},5 , 2)), ToNumber (Mid ({table.date},7 , 2)))) This of course is assuming that your field YYYYMMDD is a string.

    delimited output forumla too long for page width

    I have a customer who uses the output of a forumla which combines 8 fields into a single string with a specified delimiter. The problem is that the string is running off the end of the page so when we export to text and then they try to read in the text file, they are getting incomplete data...

    Blank lines, exporting to excel

    Why would i not see the problem but they would even though we are using the same u2fxls.dll which is the excel export .dll? I've sent the customer an even newer export .dll to see if it fixes it. Could it be in the way that Excel is reading in the data... Madawc...I see you are from East...

    Null/Blank Values in database and displaying strings

    try this for your formula if isnull({table.comment}) or {table.comment} = "" then "No comment" else {table.comment} that should fix your problem...null is no data, "" is for a space filled field...you have to test for both.

    XP to XP VPN - get drive mapped but don't see contents

    If I right click and select Properties on the shared folder, within the sharing tab the "Everyone" group has full control. On the Security Tab, "Everyone" has full control and the permission applies to "This folder, subfolders and files" Is this not the correct thing to check?

    OWA constantly asking for password

    We've seen this as well. I take it you are trying to connect to OWA within the LAN. Instead of typing in http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/exchange just type in the name of the server/exchange and you should be fine. You won't need to authenticate and it should open right up for you. Sometimes I think...
