Rocky,
If you want something a little more then just the font (meaning you do all
the work as far as calculating check digits, controlling the formatting,
etc), something I've been using for quite a few years is:
http://www.abarcode.net/en/access.asp
I haven't used the Active-x version, but the report version. Never had a
problem with it and I've never bumped into anything I could not do with it.
Labels produced with it have under gone numerous outside certification
processes and I've never had an issue caused by the program.
There are others out there like this as well.
Jim.

My first inclination is to ask the client what bar-code reader they will
use.
Start there. Different readers use and can read different codes. Get a
list of codes the reader can decipher.

Looks like it would do the job - but pricey - $99 for each user or $950 for
distribution rights.

Right-click the C drive and select properties, and then hit the Security tab.
Make sure that 'Administrators' is listed and that they have 'Full Control' access. Add any other users you might want at this point too.
Next click the 'Advanced' button and I the new dialog box click the 'Owner' tab. Change the owner to the Administrators group and check the box to 'Replace owner on subcontainters and objects'.
Click the 'Permissions' tab of the same dialog box. Check the box to 'Replace permission entries on all child objects..."

Should sort things out for you.

Subject: [AccessD] What a mess (otherwise knbown as "who owns things")
I rebuilt a server from C:\ format on up. New Windows Server 2003 X64, New SQL Server 2005 etc.
Now the current administrator (apparently) does not own the files on the raid arrays which of course survive quite nicely. When I tried to attach a database it gave me an "insufficient rights" kind of error which I Googled and that tells me that I do not own the files. I took ownership which worked (I can now attach), but then I tried to attach and it said it couldn't because the files were read only.
Only it DID the attach, and now I have a database in read only mode, which I cannot detach because... it is read only.
Sigh.
So... this invites MANY questions...
1) How do I take ownership of a disk drive on down and all the files on that disk drive?
2) Why are the files read only?
3) Now that I have one of the databases mounted (read only) how do I detach it so that I can make it read / write and reattach it? Or how do I make it non-readonly?
4)Why did all of this happen?
5) Is there an easy way to prevent all this in the future? I have a second server which I will be rebuilding when new parts get here mid week. New motherboard / processor and 5 new terabyte drives for the server I rebuilt this weekend and 5 new drives for the one to be rebuilt next. Obviously if there is something I can do in advance to prevent this mess I am all for that.
In fact the new motherboard is the same motherboard as I have in the current rebuild, and my plan is to clone the boot drive and just use that clone in the new system. I have gone to much trouble to get all the multitude of software installed etc so when I am done I HOPE to end up with two literally identical machines, other than the second machine having some additional storage (and a next generation processor).
Any words of wisdom out there?

That's a good idea. I'll ask but I don't think she'll know. I'm not sure
she wants to read - her requirement was for printing labels. So I'll have
to find out who is going to read them and how. What's the most universal
format - Code 39?

You probably have 'simplified file sharing' turned on (the default I think). In Windows XP open an explorer window and select 'Folder options' on the 'Tools' menu.
Then select the 'View' tab and scroll down to the bottom of the list in the 'Advanced Settings' area. There you will find the 'Use simple file sharing (Recommended)' option. Clear the check box, and then reboot.

In my experience most bar-code readers can use Code 39.
And since it's a font its really easy to use.

Rocky,

Somewhat, but it really depends on your needs. If your simply doing one
bar code project with one of the more common symbologies (UPC, 3 of 9, or 2
of 5), for which there are fonts for, then it is definitely overkill. But
if you plan to use bar coding in a wide range of apps on a regular basis
then you most likely would want something like it. I happen to use it for
one client that needs a variety of symbologies, so it was an easy decision.
$995 represents about 14 hours of work for me, and I could not see
duplicating what it offered with two days worth of work.
Keep in mind that if you use a font, you need to do all the work yourself;
calculating of check digits, putting in guard characters, formatting the
human readable, scaling, etc. The font just gives you the bars, not the
bar code for a given string.
But all of that is not all that difficult to do and the specs,
calculations, etc. are all freely available on the net. However you will
spend some time working on it. How much time depends on what you need to
do.
If you plan to do only one particular type and only with one app, then I
would go the font route. But if your going to do more then that, then your
going to need something similar to abarcode.
Jim.

Rocky,
If you want something a little more then just the font (meaning you do all
the work as far as calculating check digits, controlling the formatting,
etc), something I've been using for quite a few years is:
http://www.abarcode.net/en/access.asp
I haven't used the Active-x version, but the report version. Never had a
problem with it and I've never bumped into anything I could not do with it.
Labels produced with it have under gone numerous outside certification
processes and I've never had an issue caused by the program.
There are others out there like this as well.
Jim.

I would not say it's the reader that's important (most readers can scan
just about anything now a days), but the application.
For example, in retail it's always going to be UPC-A, possibly -E.
Distribution of goods will use UCC-EAN128. But if your labeling test tubes
in a lab, then it's probably going to be 3 of 9, unless you have space
restrictions. Then you might end up using Code 128, which is for
high-density applications.
You need to fully spec out how and where it will be used to determine the
Symbology, type of label material, printing process, and the type reader
that will be required.
Jim.

That's a good idea. I'll ask but I don't think she'll know. I'm not sure
she wants to read - her requirement was for printing labels. So I'll have
to find out who is going to read them and how. What's the most universal
format - Code 39?

My first inclination is to ask the client what bar-code reader they will

Start there. Different readers use and can read different codes. Get a

Hey All
What tricks do you employ to restrict a user to use your navigation
buttons on a single form and also to prevent them from crashing a single
form???
Just wondering because there are so many exotic combinations and kind of
hard to catch all.
I have the general stuff
PGUp,PGDown, UpArrow and DownArrow disabled
Ctrl F (sometimes P) and Ctrl F10 disabled
Transparent buttons
No mouse scroll
Return to the Main Menu to close the application, can't use the Close
(X) button on the app. window.
Use Access Special Keys disabled
Thanks

You probably have 'simplified file sharing' turned on (the default I think).
In Windows XP open an explorer window and select 'Folder options' on the
'Tools' menu.
Then select the 'View' tab and scroll down to the bottom of the list in the
'Advanced Settings' area. There you will find the 'Use simple file sharing
(Recommended)' option. Clear the check box, and then reboot.

I will have to check on my Vista virtual machine when I get home. I know in

I will check that tomorrow at work on my XP.
Any idea of how to do it in Vist. Folder Options doesn't have an Advanced

similar.

You probably have 'simplified file sharing' turned on (the default I think).
In Windows XP open an explorer window and select 'Folder options' on the
'Tools' menu.
Then select the 'View' tab and scroll down to the bottom of the list in the
'Advanced Settings' area. There you will find the 'Use simple file sharing
(Recommended)' option. Clear the check box, and then reboot.

Hi All,
The subject tool, which can be downloaded here:
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Report Builder 2.0
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9f783224-9871-4eea-b1d5-f3140a253db6&displaylang=en
doesn't work with MS SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
But I have found(!-)) I have MS Report Builder 1.0 already installed on my system at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005\MSSQL.4\Reporting Services\ReportServer\ReportBuilder\ReportBuilder.exe
and it works well.
Thank you.

Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008.
It is not available as a separate client apps and is only avilable as a click once application.
That means that on the same Report server you will not be able to mix and match RB1.0 and RB2.0 being luanch form the server using Clickonce.

Hi Gustav,
Thank you for your feedback.
I didn't need to use Click-Once to run Report Builder 1.0 - I just wanted to find where can I get it downloaded to run on my development PC. And as I have already reported in my other e-mail g=here I have got it occasionally (:)) found in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005\MSSQL.4\Reporting Services\ReportServer\ReportBuilder\ReportBuilder.exe
(one can find there also click-once "tear-down" ReportBuilder.exe.application file and manifest )
and ReportBuilder.exe runs well, with only issue that I somehow can design but can't run a report within it (something with permissions I do not understand currently) but I can save this report in Reporting Services and run there.
I have also got installed MS Report Builder 2.0 from standalone setup, and it installed well but it doesn't run at all with MS SQL 2005 Reporting Services.
Thank you.

Message-ID:
NTFS bases it's security on username/domain name, in a sort of hash. If
you rebuild a machine, but only one partition, other partitions aren't
automatically set to be used by the new machine's credentials. This is
because an account on a local machine is not going to be quite the same
as an account on the same machine with the OS reloaded. So all the
files/partitions will be 'foreign'.
I know this is kind of annoying, but it is a failed attempt to provide
security for your files. NTFS can't really do that since it doesn't
encrypt anything by default. I have a program called Restore Pro 2000,
which lets me recover anything from NTFS partitions (so you can format a
drive, and I can recover the data....unless you do a low level 'zeroing'
of that drive). It completely ignores NTFS security, because it doesn't
use Windows to read the drive, it is using lower level BIOS calls. Very
handy. NTFS is only applicable if you are accessing folders/files
through windows itself. Even more bizarre is that Microsoft released an
NTFS driver for Windows 9x, which allows a windows 9x machine to
read/write to an NTFS partition...and it completely ignores the NTFS
security flags.
So, to answer your question about how to prevent this from happening, if
you have a license (or 2) for Windows 2003 Server (or copies you are
using), then I would recommend setting up a domain. By setting up a
domain, with Active Directory, you are centralizing your users and
groups, so your login account will have the same permissions no matter
what machine you are using. (And if you wipe the C drive of a machine,
and reinstall the OS, as soon as you join it to the domain, all your
permissions are back!). Setting up a domain controller can also make
home networking WAY easier (and more efficient). The DHCP, WINS and DNS
servers available in a Windows Server are pretty easy to use, and
provide some pretty slick options as to setting up pointers to what is
what!
Just my two cents though....

Subject: [AccessD] What a mess (otherwise knbown as "who owns things")
I rebuilt a server from C:\ format on up. New Windows Server 2003 X64,
New SQL Server 2005 etc.
Now the current administrator (apparently) does not own the files on the
raid arrays which of course
survive quite nicely. When I tried to attach a database it gave me an
"insufficient rights" kind of
error which I Googled and that tells me that I do not own the files. I
took ownership which worked
(I can now attach), but then I tried to attach and it said it couldn't
because the files were read
only.
Only it DID the attach, and now I have a database in read only mode,
which I cannot detach
because... it is read only.
Sigh.
So... this invites MANY questions...
1) How do I take ownership of a disk drive on down and all the files on
that disk drive?
2) Why are the files read only?
3) Now that I have one of the databases mounted (read only) how do I
detach it so that I can make it
read / write and reattach it? Or how do I make it non-readonly?
4)Why did all of this happen?
5) Is there an easy way to prevent all this in the future? I have a
second server which I will be
rebuilding when new parts get here mid week. New motherboard /
processor and 5 new terabyte drives
for the server I rebuilt this weekend and 5 new drives for the one to be
rebuilt next. Obviously if
there is something I can do in advance to prevent this mess I am all for
that.
In fact the new motherboard is the same motherboard as I have in the
current rebuild, and my plan is
to clone the boot drive and just use that clone in the new system. I
have gone to much trouble to
get all the multitude of software installed etc so when I am done I HOPE
to end up with two
literally identical machines, other than the second machine having some
additional storage (and a
next generation processor).
Any words of wisdom out there?

Hi Gustav,
Thank you for your feedback.
I didn't need to use Click-Once to run Report Builder 1.0 - I just wanted to find where can I get it downloaded to run on my development PC. And as I have already reported in my other e-mail g=here I have got it occasionally (:)) found in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2005\MSSQL.4\Reporting Services\ReportServer\ReportBuilder\ReportBuilder.exe
(one can find there also click-once "tear-down" ReportBuilder.exe.application file and manifest )
and ReportBuilder.exe runs well, with only issue that I somehow can design but can't run a report within it (something with permissions I do not understand currently) but I can save this report in Reporting Services and run there.
I have also got installed MS Report Builder 2.0 from standalone setup, and it installed well but it doesn't run at all with MS SQL 2005 Reporting Services.
Thank you.

If it is so easy to set up, what would you charge me to remote in to my system and help me set it
up? Would I be able to maintain a domain by myself?
I am definitely not a notwork guy. I have a workgroup with NINE machines on it. I have Windows
Home Server (Windows 2003), a Vista (Ultimate) based Windows Media Center machine, another Vista
(Ultimate) machine on my development laptop, TWO Server 2003 X64 based SQL Servers (I am rebuilding
both of them last / this week), and about 4 Windows XP Pro machines including my wife's laptop, my
son's laptop, a game machine, and a Piano / BandInABox workstation.
I currently use my hardware router / firewall as the dhcp server.
The Windows Home Server is the only machine that is on and connected 24/7/365, though I could leave
one of the SQL Server machines on all the time as well I suppose. And while WHS runs Windows 2003,
I am not sure they particularly want it running as the domain controller. Not that I care what they
want. ;)
To be honest I have not heard good things about trying to run a domain in a home office but I am
willing to listen.
As for "recovering the data" I use Areca RAID Controllers running RAID 6 arrays, and the servers
WERE running on a partition on the RAID array. I doubt that bios calls will make it through
hardware raid controllers?

Hi Gustav,
I don't know about Click-Once "mix and match" - but AFAIK MS SQL 2005 Reporting Services' Server is available to the "outer world" (as e.g. Report Buiider 1.0) via an ASP.NET Web Service, and I guess (I can only guess as I haven't seen that) that MS SQL 2008 Reporting Services' Server is also available to the "outer world" via ASP.NET WebService or via WCF Service - therefore Report Builder 2.0 expects different communication protocol with reporting service and it "doesn't see/doesn't understand/can't communicate at all" with MS SQL 2005 Reporting Service...

There are HP and Okidata printers that come with a number of bar codes
groups built in. Some clients already have them as they may not be a
speciality item or they can be upgraded by just popping in or out an
inexpensive chip.
Was at a client a while back and did a quick scan of the Okidata dot-matrix
printer manual notice there was the capability to print bar codes that no
one was even aware of.

That's a good idea. I'll ask but I don't think she'll know. I'm not sure
she wants to read - her requirement was for printing labels. So I'll have
to find out who is going to read them and how. What's the most universal

I think Drew is right on this... just a warning to make one computer a
backup domain controller because if the Active Directory drive/computer ever
fails you could lose the security for the entire network and that has all
sorts of really ugly ramifications.

NTFS bases it's security on username/domain name, in a sort of hash. If
you rebuild a machine, but only one partition, other partitions aren't
automatically set to be used by the new machine's credentials. This is
because an account on a local machine is not going to be quite the same
as an account on the same machine with the OS reloaded. So all the
files/partitions will be 'foreign'.
I know this is kind of annoying, but it is a failed attempt to provide
security for your files. NTFS can't really do that since it doesn't
encrypt anything by default. I have a program called Restore Pro 2000,
which lets me recover anything from NTFS partitions (so you can format a
drive, and I can recover the data....unless you do a low level 'zeroing'
of that drive). It completely ignores NTFS security, because it doesn't
use Windows to read the drive, it is using lower level BIOS calls. Very
handy. NTFS is only applicable if you are accessing folders/files
through windows itself. Even more bizarre is that Microsoft released an
NTFS driver for Windows 9x, which allows a windows 9x machine to
read/write to an NTFS partition...and it completely ignores the NTFS
security flags.
So, to answer your question about how to prevent this from happening, if
you have a license (or 2) for Windows 2003 Server (or copies you are
using), then I would recommend setting up a domain. By setting up a
domain, with Active Directory, you are centralizing your users and
groups, so your login account will have the same permissions no matter
what machine you are using. (And if you wipe the C drive of a machine,
and reinstall the OS, as soon as you join it to the domain, all your
permissions are back!). Setting up a domain controller can also make
home networking WAY easier (and more efficient). The DHCP, WINS and DNS
servers available in a Windows Server are pretty easy to use, and
provide some pretty slick options as to setting up pointers to what is
what!
Just my two cents though....

I rebuilt a server from C:\ format on up. New Windows Server 2003 X64,
New SQL Server 2005 etc.
Now the current administrator (apparently) does not own the files on the
raid arrays which of course
survive quite nicely. When I tried to attach a database it gave me an
"insufficient rights" kind of
error which I Googled and that tells me that I do not own the files. I
took ownership which worked
(I can now attach), but then I tried to attach and it said it couldn't
because the files were read
only.
Only it DID the attach, and now I have a database in read only mode,
which I cannot detach
because... it is read only.
Sigh.
So... this invites MANY questions...
1) How do I take ownership of a disk drive on down and all the files on
that disk drive?
2) Why are the files read only?
3) Now that I have one of the databases mounted (read only) how do I
detach it so that I can make it
read / write and reattach it? Or how do I make it non-readonly?
4)Why did all of this happen?
5) Is there an easy way to prevent all this in the future? I have a
second server which I will be
rebuilding when new parts get here mid week. New motherboard /
processor and 5 new terabyte drives
for the server I rebuilt this weekend and 5 new drives for the one to be
rebuilt next. Obviously if
there is something I can do in advance to prevent this mess I am all for
that.
In fact the new motherboard is the same motherboard as I have in the
current rebuild, and my plan is
to clone the boot drive and just use that clone in the new system. I
have gone to much trouble to
get all the multitude of software installed etc so when I am done I HOPE
to end up with two
literally identical machines, other than the second machine having some
additional storage (and a
next generation processor).
Any words of wisdom out there?

With Vista it seems that there is a 'Sharing' tab all the time. In folder options there is an option called 'Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)', but just turns on/off the wizard for setting up Shares (not the same thing as setting security rights).

Any idea of how to do it in Vist. Folder Options doesn't have an Advanced Button or Tab. Just, General, View and Search and cannot see anything similar.

You probably have 'simplified file sharing' turned on (the default I think).
In Windows XP open an explorer window and select 'Folder options' on the 'Tools' menu.
Then select the 'View' tab and scroll down to the bottom of the list in the 'Advanced Settings' area. There you will find the 'Use simple file sharing (Recommended)' option. Clear the check box, and then reboot.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'm going to try using the 'compact on
close' option that Dan suggested. If I still hit lock file problems I will
try the process explorer - I didn't realize that I could use that to track
down a lock file. If the problem continues I'll apply at Burger King.
Flipping burgers has GOT to be more fun than IT Admin stuff...
Thanks again!

This is the kind of thing you do with code in a form. Tables can't automatically populate a field based on another field in the same record.

Subject: [AccessD] Lookup field in table
I have a table with the first two fields being named PIDName and Ptype. The third field is named PID. I would like the field PID to be automatically populated with the PID that corresponds with the PIDName entered by the user. The PID is stored in a different table (CompletionMaster). I have tried a lookup field but it returns all values in the CompletionMaster table. Is this possible?

One might also question the normalization. Given that you have the ID in the
table, why do you need the lookup?
Just asking,

With the table in Design View, click the Lookup tab in the bottom Properties
pane. However, lookup fields are... troublesome. Mostly, you forget their
true source and use them inappropriately later, which can cause trouble.
I assume your users are using a data entry form anyway, so why not just do
this in the underlying query?

Ok, did a little research before replying. Apparently you can and can't
run a domain controller with WHS. DCPROMO is there (which is what you
use to create a domain controller), however, the EULA disallows it, and
from what I am reading, after a week, the licensing kicks in and starts
shutting things down. Not good. So to run a domain, you need a full
blown Server OS. (Windows NT 4 (which won't have Active Directory),
2000 Server, 2003 Server or 2008).
Next, as far as RAID controllers and BIOS calls...yes, you can read a
drive that is on a RAID controller just like a regular drive, without
going through the OS. A RAID controller 'mimics' a regular drive, so to
the BIOS, a striped or mirrored drive looks just like a regular drive.
Hardware level calls allow a program to read the actual sectors of a
drive, so your program needs to 'understand' the NTFS structure for
anything to make sense (or the FAT structure if it's a FAT partition).
Finally, if what you heard about 'home domains' is due to WHS, that
would explain things. A domain and Active Directory is really not very
complex, or hard to setup. Now, it IS a very powerful tool, and to use
it to it's fullest extent requires a lot of learning/training. However,
it's basic functionality is very easy to setup and use, and can really
help with a lot of things. I am going to post a little tutorial on how
to do setup a basic Active Directory domain, and to tie it into this
forum, at the end I am going to post some code that will show how you
can incorporate Active Directory capabilities into your Access
applications. As developers, if you are not familiar with Active
Directory and domains, you are excluding clients that use such. (And a
lot of my code actually works on a 'workgroup' machine too).

If it is so easy to set up, what would you charge me to remote in to my
system and help me set it
up? Would I be able to maintain a domain by myself?
I am definitely not a notwork guy. I have a workgroup with NINE
machines on it. I have Windows
Home Server (Windows 2003), a Vista (Ultimate) based Windows Media
Center machine, another Vista
(Ultimate) machine on my development laptop, TWO Server 2003 X64 based
SQL Servers (I am rebuilding
both of them last / this week), and about 4 Windows XP Pro machines
including my wife's laptop, my
son's laptop, a game machine, and a Piano / BandInABox workstation.
I currently use my hardware router / firewall as the dhcp server.
The Windows Home Server is the only machine that is on and connected
24/7/365, though I could leave
one of the SQL Server machines on all the time as well I suppose. And
while WHS runs Windows 2003,
I am not sure they particularly want it running as the domain
controller. Not that I care what they
want. ;)
To be honest I have not heard good things about trying to run a domain
in a home office but I am
willing to listen.
As for "recovering the data" I use Areca RAID Controllers running RAID 6
arrays, and the servers
WERE running on a partition on the RAID array. I doubt that bios calls
will make it through
hardware raid controllers?

LOL, so now I have to leave THREE computers running 24/7/365. WHS, Domain controller, BACKUP Domain
controller.
This is getting less and less desirable.
ATM there are 4 computers on 24/7, the WHS, my laptop, Mary's laptop and Robbie's laptop. The two
SQL Server machines are relative power hogs simply because they have more powerful quad core
processors as well as anywhere from 8 to 16 disk drives in them. I do not use them every day so I
turn them off between uses.

Hi John,
My solution, though I do not need my server up 24/7, is to have 2 plug in
hard drives. Since my AD doesn't change very often, Once a month I shut down
my server, plug in a second SATA drive, boot to Acronis and clone the
server. Then I swap drives and re-boot. This assures that I do in fact have
a good backup. I then set the old drive aside until next month. If you
really need 24/7 then you probably do need a backup domain server.
I do backup other key files daily to my NAS.
By the way does WHS, backup the server?

Message-ID:
What do you get with WHS that you are actually using?
What I would recommend, is that you turn WHS into a plain Windows 2003
machine, run Virtual Server (or the VMWare equivalent) and then do one
of two things, turn the host machine into a DC and create a virtual DC,
or create a virtual DC. A domain controller doesn't have to be a very
hefty machine. It just needs a Server OS.
My personal home network, I have one little old Dell, that runs a DC. I
don't have a backup DC, because honestly, there's really no point. I
only have 2 or 3 machines on the Domain, and if I lost my DC, I can just
recreate it, and rejoin my old machines. If I were running more
important things at home, I would create a backup DC, probably in a
virtual environment.
Will have the post on creating/running a domain up in a little bit,
almost done with the screen shots.

LOL, so now I have to leave THREE computers running 24/7/365. WHS,
Domain controller, BACKUP Domain
controller.
This is getting less and less desirable.
ATM there are 4 computers on 24/7, the WHS, my laptop, Mary's laptop and
Robbie's laptop. The two
SQL Server machines are relative power hogs simply because they have
more powerful quad core
processors as well as anywhere from 8 to 16 disk drives in them. I do
not use them every day so I
turn them off between uses.

Ghostcript is a bit of a PITA to use directly because of all the switches.
That's why I wrote my GS frontend MakePDF which is used by a lot of my Access
applications to automate printing (and emailing/FTPing) Acccess reports.

Subject: [AccessD] Office on a server - where did it go?
Message-ID: <4A25C582.9090806@colbyconsulting.com>
One client has a server running Windows 2003 and SQL Server as a BE to various Access FEs. I was
brought back in to this client because the company that did the conversion from Access BE to SQL
Server was not doing what they said they would do. Anyway...
I use VPN and remote desktop to remote in to the server. It is my dev machine simply because they
do not have another machine to set me up on.
My problem is that they installed Office on this thing (I guess), or at least I can use office on
this thing but I cannot FIND the actual office install. In order to get a /decompile going I need
to use a shortcut to the actual Access EXE and then use the /Decompile switch. Or at least that is
how I know to do it.
Since I cannot find the exe on the machine I am unable to do this. Needless to say, Decompile is
rather important.
I think what is going on is that the office was made part of a domain that exists at another office.
As such I am guessing that my user is "virtual" or whatever you call it, and thus it can use
office even though it is actually installed somewhere else, probably in that other office.
Has anyone ever run into this?

Why do you need to do decompile (just curious).
Can you copy the FE to your machine, decompile, and replace?

Decompile is a tool that, when you need it there is no substitute. I am amazed that you have
apparently never used it? I just set up a decompile shortcut in every machine I do development,
kind of as a standard thing. There if I need it. I cannot count the times that it has solved
problems in the last 10 years.

The server at their office is "my machine" unless you mean my machine at my office, in which case
yes I could but it is clumsy, and slow.

Never run into it, but it was an interesting problem, so I've knocked up a quick tool to help.
1. Download http://www,lexacorp.com.pg/soft/FindOpener.zip
2. Extract the 18KB executable and place it on the desktop
3. Drag an MDB, DOC,PDF or whatever onto the executable.
It will display a message box showing the \SHELL\OPEN\command in the Registry which
will tell you exactly where to find Access.Exe or whatever is used to open the particular file
type.
Enjoy,
Stuart

Oh, you misunderstood. I've used decompile a lot to unscramble hosed mdbs.
I was wondering why you needed it in this particular case.

Oh. I am working on a form which, when I drag another subform onto it, suddenly cannot be opened at
all, not in design view, nothing. "Insufficient memory to complete operation" or some such. This
even with my JIT Subforms in place. I figure it is time for a decompile but I can't get at the EXE
to feed it the decompile switch.

Subject: [AccessD] Creating a free PDFWriter using Ghostscript and using
it do automate MS Access reports
Message-ID:
Hi Shamil
You wouldn't waste your time this way (as described) when exactly this has been done before - FreePDF XP - and it is ready for download.
Original site in German:
http://freepdfxp.de/index.html
We install this routinely on clients' machines.
Notes:
- FreePDF XP may appear as having a German interface only but that is not the case.
- Ghostscript must be downloaded and installed before FreePDF XP but that is piece of cake.
- XP doesn't mean much. It runs on Windows 2000+.
>>> mcp2004 at mail.ru 02-06-2009 22:30 >>>
Hi All,
Did anybody use GhostScript (http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSWriter/GSWriter.html) to automated MS Access reports printing to PDF?
If Yes - how did it work - smoothly or not?
Thank you.

I've always just found mine in the 'Start-->Run' list. But I don't find
that I need it often enough to shortcut it.

Subject: [AccessD] Office on a server - where did it go?
One client has a server running Windows 2003 and SQL Server as a BE to
various Access FEs. I was
brought back in to this client because the company that did the conversion
from Access BE to SQL
Server was not doing what they said they would do. Anyway...
I use VPN and remote desktop to remote in to the server. It is my dev
machine simply because they
do not have another machine to set me up on.
My problem is that they installed Office on this thing (I guess), or at
least I can use office on
this thing but I cannot FIND the actual office install. In order to get a
/decompile going I need
to use a shortcut to the actual Access EXE and then use the /Decompile
switch. Or at least that is
how I know to do it.
Since I cannot find the exe on the machine I am unable to do this. Needless
to say, Decompile is
rather important.
I think what is going on is that the office was made part of a domain that
exists at another office.
As such I am guessing that my user is "virtual" or whatever you call it,
and thus it can use
office even though it is actually installed somewhere else, probably in that
other office.
Has anyone ever run into this?

Hi All,
Did anybody use GhostScript
(http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSWriter/GSWriter.html) to automated MS
Access reports printing to PDF?
If Yes - how did it work - smoothly or not?
Thank you.

The tool does not seem to work. I drop a MDB (or XLS, or DOC, or TXT) file on it and a dialog appears with a title bar, and OK button and nothing else: running Win XP SP2.
Debug.Print SysCmd(acSysCmdAccessDir) works fine though.

Been there, done that, not on the c: drive. Not in program files, no directory at all for office
there. I have never run into that before. I think this is probably a "domain" thing, but as I am
domained ignorant... ;)

Great!
Every time I update a customer's system, I first decompile, compile, and
compact every access file. No corruptions on their side - I guess it's
working!

I place my decompile shortcut in the "SendTo" folder. Then I can right-click an mdb, and use "Send to" to launch Access with the decompile switch. No need to drag and hunt and drop. You can also set up shortcuts that invoke differrent mdw files for user level security. That way, if you have different workgroup files for different dbs, you can just send the mdb to the appropriate shortcut. No need to mess with the default workgroup or create separate shortcuts for each mdb to launch it with its mdw. Cool way to implement things of this kind.

Subject: [AccessD] Setting up a Domain.
Message-ID:
Many people think that a domain is something you only use in a company
network environment. While domains are more common there, domains
certainly have enough usefulness to be used at home too.
Here are some situations where having a domain at home can be useful:
You have more then two computers on your home domain.
You have children accessing your home network.
You develop for businesses that have domains.
If you have more then two computers on your home domain, a domain
controller can make your home network much easier to manage.
Have kids that use your computers? Let's face it, computer security
usually only keeps honest people honest. Give me a home computer you
think you have 'secured', and I can show you how to break into it with
full admin rights. Local access to a machine can open a lot of security
holes. That is one of the big advantages of a domain. In a domain,
your security is centralized, and as long as you don't give anyone
direct access to the domain controller, security settings are all but
impossible to get around.
If you developer for a business, that uses a domain, there are a lot of
features of Active Directory that you can use in your systems to make
your systems more powerful/intuitive.
So, let's build a domain:
First, we'll start with a box running Windows 2003 server. Have this
machine plugged into a switch, with nothing else. (we don't want any IP
addresses to be given out, so if your 'switch' is a router with DHCP,
turn that off). This should be a clean install of 2003, nothing extra
added.
I have posted screen shots:
http://www.marlow.com/downloads/DCPromo1.jpg through
http://www.marlow.com/downloads/DCPromo18.jpg (for space considerations
I am just going to go through them with numbers, not full links:
1: Welcome Screen, click next
2: compatibility info, click next
3: Type of DC. First (default) option (DC in new domain). Click next.
4: Type of Domain. First (default) option, domain in a new forest, Click
next.
5:Name your domain. I named my test domain AccessD.net (click next)
6:NetBios name, it'll assign it automatically, click next.
7 & 8:Default folder locations, assigned automatically, click next.
9:DNS, select second option (install and configure DNS), click next
10: permissions, select second (default) option, click next
11: Restore mode password, enter password twice, click next.
12: Summary: click next
13: During the setup/installation of AD, it will get to the part about
installing DNS, and should prompt you for your 2003 CD, put it in.
Since your network connection is connected, but not getting an address,
it will prompt you to change the 'dynamic address' to a static one,
click the ok, and you'll get your LAN settings window. Select TCP/IP
and click Properties
14: Setup your IP address info like this. Your DC IP will be
192.168.0.2, and your Gateway (router) will be 192.168.0.1
15: Go into your addition settings and put your domain in as the DNS
Suffix, click Ok.
16: We're done (so far), click Finish.
17: Click Restart Now
18: When you click ctrl-alt-del, click options, and now you have a Logon
to: option with your new domain. Select the domain, and log in as
Administrator (your administrator password will be the same as the one
you setup before setting up active directory (NOT the recovery password
you put in, unless they happen to be the same password).
Next up.... setting up DHCP and WINS.

BTW, this project is an Automation of MS Access reports printing to .pdf by using a Windows Service if that possible at all IOW a kind of "bullet-proof" multi-threaded MS Access reports generations server for a given set of contacts - is such a task/solution interesting for AccessD audience or your customers? Do you know of any ready-to-use solutions like that?

yeah, I've been wanting to use one at the ex's house.
When my son loses computer privelages, its easier to log in, and do it in

Message-ID:
Absolutely.... In fact, the demo I am putting together here is running
in Virtual PC. I've set the network connection to be 'local' only, so
it's just like have a server on a brand new 'blank' network.
Now, to setup a primary DC using Virtual PC, I would really recommend
using Virtual Server, not Virtual PC, because Virtual server will allow
you to have your virtual machines to startup with the host computer.
When you setup a domain, you need your domain controller to be on
whenever the network is in use, otherwise authentication fails, and
things will go bonkers! ;)

We always laugh about it now, but for the life of me, I can't remember what
he did.
I think he had his Xbox & TV taken away because he was playing them at night
instead of sleeping (and thus waking up in time for school)
He was then caught mucking with hand held heletronic devices (Game boy...)
at night which were taken away, then a laser pointer...
That might have been the straw that broke the camels back.
He still had to brush his teeth. He just had to use the manual toothbrush.
Oh the horror! I'm surprised he didn't call Child Services on us.

Subject: [AccessD] Setting Up a Domain. Part 2. Network Services
Message-ID:
Ok, we now have a domain controller setup, now it's time to get our
network ready.
This is where a home network is fair less efficient then a domain with
the proper network services. In a standard 'home' network, you have a
DHCP server (which hands out IP addresses), which is usually a DSL/Cable
Modem/router, and that's it. So communication between computers on a
home network is reliant on Computer Browsing, which is a Window's
service which broadcasts out to find other computers on the network.
It's horribly inefficient, and very often unreliable. The reason that
this is, is because there is no one local resource always available to
act as a traffic cop.... But with our new domain controller, that's what
we have.
We are going to setup DNS, DHCP, and WINS.
DNS - Domain Name Service (this was actually already setup during our
DCPROMO process). A DNS server resolves domain names (and computers on
a domain) with an IP Address. So, when you go to www.msn.com, a DNS
server on the internet has the address of msn.com, and it looks up the
www part, and returns an IP address (in this case: 207.68.173.76).
There are internet DNS servers all over, when you are connected to the
internet, your ISP is providing DNS services too you, which allows you
to look up computers on the internet, but their DNS servers are not
registering your local machines. So we are going to host our own DNS
server, so that it registers the local machines, and forwards internet
based DNS requests onto your ISP's DNS servers.
DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Internet communication uses
TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). Each computer
using this protocol receives an IP address (4 numbers 0 to 255, in the
format: 192.168.0.1). When a computer starts up, it will request an IP
address (if one isn't statically assigned, like we did with out Domain
controller in the previous post). It does this by broadcasting a
message throughout the local network looking for a DHCP server. If it
finds one, the DHCP server assigns the requesting computer an IP address
(and with a Microsoft DHCP server we will get more options then you
normally would with a standard wireless/internet home router DHCP
service).
WINS - Windows Internet Name Service. This is a little out dated, but
it's similar to DNS. However, instead of looking for specific domain
names, WINS can host more detailed information, such as whether a
computer is a file server, a domain controller, etc. DNS is just a name
to IP, WINS is a little more robust, and gives more of a purpose to IP
address.
So, again, to save space on the links, the screenshots are
http://www.marlow.com/downloads/NetworkServices1.jpg through
http://www.marlow.com/downloads/NetworkServices28.jpg
1: DNS is already installed, so first we need to 'install' WINS and
DHCP. Go to the Add/Remove Programs in your control panel, and select
Add/Remove Windows Components. Select Networking Services and click
"Details'.
2: Put a checkbox next to DHCP and WINS. Click Ok, then Next, and
you'll need your Windows 2003 CD while Windows installs these services.
3: I would recommend that you then go to Administrative Tools, (from
your Start Menu) and 'Send To' the desktop the following: WINS, DHCP,
DNS and Active Directory Users and Computers (because we'll be going
into all three. Open DHCP. (Through your shortcut, or through
Administrative Tools). As you can see, it's telling us we need to
create a 'scope'. In my screen shot, you can see my server name is
win2003 (it's presented as win2003.accessd.net, which is the full
computer name (computer.domainname)). Right clicking on that gives us a
New Scope option...click that option.
4:New Scope Wizard, click Next.
5: Give the Scope a name (this is just so you know it's your scope, you
can setup multiple scopes, but that is beyond this demo). Click Next
6: Setup the IP range. Put in 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254, click
Next. (This is the range of IP addresses that our DHCP server is going
to hand out.)
7: Add Exclusions: Put in 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 (1 is going to be
reserved for our internet router, and 2 is our domain controller).
8: Once you have entered your exclusions, click 'Add'. (note we didn't
click next on step 7. This 'process' is going to occur several times,
where we are going to put information in, but it's not really there
until you click add. This is because there are going to be places
where we could enter multiple 'answers/responses', and that is how these
dialogues deal with that). Click Next.
9: Lease Duration: Defaults to 8 days. I typically set this to 1 day.
What this is, is the amount of time that a computer that has received an
IP address will wait before it verifies if it needs a new one. On a
home network, this is relatively unimportant, unless you are just into
playing around with networking. It is more geared to a larger network,
where you may have to 'conserve' IP addresses, on a home network, if you
have 254 computers running, you have a very big home....however, it's
not uncommon to have a dozen items getting an IP address (a few
computers, gaming systems, PDA's, etc.) Click Next
10: Make sure the 'Yes' option is selected, click yes.
11: Router/Default Gateway: This is going to be your internet router,
put in 192.168.0.1, click Add, click Next.
12:DNS and domain name: Put in your domain (it's blank on my screenshot
(I actually forgot that part....whoops)), in this demos case it would be
AccessD.net . Now, in the 'server name' box, put in the name of the
machine we are working on (in my case it's win2003), and click
'Resolve', you'll see it puts 192.168.0.2 in the IP Address boxes, click
Add, then click Next.
13: WINS Server: (repeat the last part of #12 (put in computername,
resolve, add, next)
14: Yes, we want to activate it, Next.
15: Yeah, DHCP is setup (almost), click Finish.
16: Notice in the DHCP window it's telling use we need to 'authorize'
DHCP in Active Directory. Just a side note here, a Domain and Active
Directory are actually two different creatures. They work together, but
they are separate beasts. This 'authorization' is just a security
method to prevent an random DHCP server from trying to butt into your
network. To 'authorize' oru DHCP server, right click on the server name
(win2003.accessd.net in this case) and select authorize. Now close out
DHCP and open it again, and ....
17: You should not see the Authorize message anymore.
18: Click the Address Leases node, notice there are none
displayed....(when we put a client on our network, that will change)
19: Scope Options: If you click the scope options node, you will see
the 'options' we have added to DHCP. If you right click on Scope
Options, you can 'Configure Options' and there are a LOT of extra
options in there, that all help things find network services better.
The wizard took care of the ones we really need, but feel free to poke
around...you won't find any of that in a standard wireless router 'dhcp
server'.
Now, I didn't put in the WINS information when we setup our NIC during
the previous post. But we didn't have a WINS server setup, so now's as
good a time as any to set that up. Go into your Local Area Connections
properties (or whatever you named your NIC). I typically have the 'show
icon in notification area when connection option' checked so I just
double click the icon in the system tray, if you don't have that
checked, you'll have to go to your network connection window.
20: Click Properties
21: select TCP/IP and click properties
22: Click Advanced
23: select the WINS tab, click Add, and put in 192.168.0.2, click ok,
ok, ok, and close.
Time to setup WINS....oh, wait, WINS is already setup once it's
installed PHEW!!! ;) Open the WINS panel (either through the shortcut
you put on the desktop or through Administrative Tools).
24: Notice it gives some instructions on how to 'filter' the entries,
right click on Active Registrations and click 'Display Records'
25: Click Find now (we aren't putting any filters in place)
26: Wow, look at that, there are 7 entries, 6 of which are all for
192.168.0.2...this is the information that other machines on the network
can use to find network resources. Feel free to poke around, close WINS
when you're done.
27: Open DNS (through shortcut or Administrative Tools). Right click on
the computer name (win2003 in this case, and select properties)
28: Click the Forwarders tab....
Now this needs a little explanation. The DNS server we setup is only
good for our local network. It will know the IP address of every client
we connect to our network, but it has no clue about any other addresses,
such as internet domain names. So we need to give it the IP addresses
of some internet DNS servers to forward those DNS queries along. I
recommend one of two options. Either find the DNS servers that your ISP
is currently assigning your internet router, OR use public DNS servers:
http://www.walltechnet.com/dnsserverlist_site/dnsserverlist.htm
Put in as many as you want (two should be fine), be sure to click add
for each one, the click OK, and close DNS.
Now we are almost ready for a client machine. The next post is going to
be a short one about our 'gateway'.

Subject: [AccessD] Setting Up a Domain. Part 3. Your Gateway
Message-ID:
In the demo I've been setting up for all the screen shots, it's not
going to see the internet, I could set that up, but for right now, it's
all 'local only' in Virtual PC, which is like it's own enclosed network.
But I'm sure all of you would want your domain and your client computers
to see the internet.
In what we have setup so far, the IP Address for your router needs to be
192.168.0.1. There are two ways to do this. Either manually put that
address into your current 'router' (whatever you bought, or your ISP
provided) OR get the MAC address of your routers, and create a
reservation in DHCP for it.
Since there are dozens of common home routers, trying to give step by
steps on this would take forever. If you are not sure how to do this,
google the name and model of your router, and find the manual, I have
never seen one that didn't have instructions on how to turn OFF DHCP,
and setup it's local IP address. (In fact, most routers will start with
an IP address of 192.168.0.1, but not all).
So screen shots, and one more step before we officially connect a
client.

This is really good, Drew. Thanks for taking the time. This is exactly
what I do in my home office network. Since I work from home, I had to set
up a network here to be able to test functionality as close to my clients'
environment as possible. Plus I liked the greater network flexibility that
naturally results, primarily with user accounts for my children, which
hasn't been fully implemented yet, and the more efficient way the different
machines communicate as I really wanted to have a central storage location
for things like digital pictures and movies, etc. I have two servers, two
workstations, two four port wireless routers (one of which has the wireless
turned off), and a networked printer on my network, and then my laptop that
connects through the wireless. Eventually I plan to have a HTPC server on
the network and get rid of my 400 disc DVD changer, and a couple more HTPC
clients thus allowing me to access multiple movies on different TVs or
computers at the same time.

Subject: [AccessD] Setting Up a Domain. Part 4. Creating a User and Setting
up a file share.
Message-ID:
Ok, this is pretty straight forward, but I have some screen shots again.
They are http://www.marlow.com/downloads/CreateAUser1.jpg (through 9)
First, open Active Directory Users and Computers (either through the
shortcut you put on the desktop or through Administrative Tools).
1: Builtin, Computers, Domain Controllers, etc. These are known as OUs
or Organizational Units. Obviously in a small home network, the need
for a complex organizational structure is not there. But it ability is
just in case. In the Builtin Tree you can see a lot of 'groups' that
already exist, each with a description.
2: Note there is nothing in 'Computers' As you join computers to your
domain, a computer 'object' will be put in here to represent that
computer (we'll come back and look at this when we join our first
client).
But wait, we have a computer already...our Domain Controller (win2003),
isn't it in computers? Nope, since it's a DC, Active Directory
automatically assigns it to the Domain Controllers OU Screen Shot 3:
4: The Users Group. Notice there are a lot of items in here. There
are a few users (Guest and a Support account are disabled) and you
should have Administrator as the only other user listed. The rest are
security groups that AD automatically creates. The most important one
would be Domain Admins. Members of this group can do anything they want
on your domain, so only put accounts you want to have that ability in
that group.
5: Let's create a user. Click the New User button (I have it circled in
red in this screen shot). You can also right click to get this option,
or go through the Action Menu (New -->User).
6: Put in a first name, last name, and a User Login Name. Click Next
7: Put in a password (and confirm it.) Note there are several options
here. You can have a user be forced to change their password, make it
so they can't change it, or that their password never expires. So if
you want to allow someone to have their own account, where you don't
know the password, force a change, so when they login the first time, it
will prompt them to change their password. If you want someone's
account to have an 'open' password, that you know, you can deny them
from changing it. The password expiration is used in business
environments, to help with security, it probably isn't necessary in a
home network.... Click next (after selecting the options you want).
8: We're done, click finished.
9: As you can see, the user we created is now in our Users OU listing.
10: double click that user, and now you can see the full properties of
that account. This is the Active Directory part on top of the Domain.
There are a LOT of tabs. You can put in email, address, phone,
organization info, etc. All stored in Active Directory. Obviously not
useful at home, but to a developer, you can access all of this
information programmatically and use it in your applications!
11: Go to the Profile tab and put login.bat in the Logon Script
box...click Ok.
Now, go create a folder or two on your server. Name them whatever you
want. Right click on them, and select properties, and go to the sharing
tab, screen shot 12. Select 'share this folder' and give it a share
name (and share permissions).
Then, click Start --> Run --> \\MachineName\Netlogon
(so in my demo's case,
\\win2003\netlogon ) and hit enter. You
will get an empty folder window. Right click and select New text file,
name it login.bat. (make sure it's a .bat file, not a .bat.txt file).
Then right click and select Edit. That will open that batch file in
notepad. Now we'll create the script to map our shared drives:
Net use g: \\win2003\ShareName
Do this for each share you want, then save the batch file.
Ok, Now we get to join a client to the domain. I may not get to that
tonight still, so it may be tomorrow before I can post that.

Drew,
>> When you setup a domain, you need your domain controller to be on
whenever the network is in use, otherwise authentication fails, and
things will go bonkers! ;) <<
That makes perfect sense. I had been trying Virtual Server 2005 for a
short time only because that was the only (free) way that I could try
out Windows Vista...but I uninstalled it because I couldn't seem to
get VS to recognize that I, indeed, did have a VMC/VHD set up already.
I think I'll give it another shot for trying out this domain thing.
Since I already have Windows Server 2003 set up as a virtual PC, what
do I need to go through to "convert" it to run under Virtual Server
2005?

It is when you see a demo like that that you can understand the speed limitations placed on our
computers by the storage.
The nice thing is that in perhaps two years the prices will have dropped by a factor of 4 or so.
That will open up real possibilities for me. ATM a 120g SSD is about $400. When that drops to $100
I can start building a RAID system that will make some of my work really fly.
Now if the 4 gb DRAMS would just drop in price. 8( Those have been hanging out at $200 each
forever. I need eight of them but who can afford that?
The truly funny thing is that each of us has a super mini computer running on our desks - 19 1985 terms.
In 1986 I worked for a company that built super mini computers. They designed a custom machine,
built out of 4 bit slice processors to get a 64 bit machine. They had an entire card (2' x 2') full
of dims that was a mere 128 megs of ram. They had programmers writing a custom version of Linux
just for their new machine... Selling these things for a cool million apiece.
And my server has a quad core processor, each processor is probably about 10 times faster and has
about 80 times more memory.
OTOH it is saddled with Windows, like a vampire... sucking the life out of the computer...

John,
That was very entertaining!
I know a fellow like Paul. He's the sys admin at the place I used to
work. I remember the day that he got a shipment from CDW of over a
hundred 1 TB Seagate drives that he was going to put into some huge
mirrored RAID 6 arrays...Something like 24 drives in the RAID 6 array
and then mirror the whole shebang with another 24 drives...something
like that. Gad!
He, of course, carried around a 16 GB SSD in his fanny pack along with
his Sony Xperia phone plus other goodies. Uber-geek to the max.

Save your money. I paid ?800 sterling for a 50inch Plasma Samsung TV and I
just plug the HDMI cable in from my PC/Laptop and I have a 50inch display.
Toggle back and forth between that and the TV with the remote.
Now that is cool....

This is really good, Drew. Thanks for taking the time. This is exactly
what I do in my home office network. Since I work from home, I had to
set
up a network here to be able to test functionality as close to my
clients'
environment as possible. Plus I liked the greater network flexibility
that
naturally results, primarily with user accounts for my children, which
hasn't been fully implemented yet, and the more efficient way the
different
machines communicate as I really wanted to have a central storage
location
for things like digital pictures and movies, etc. I have two servers,
two
workstations, two four port wireless routers (one of which has the
wireless
turned off), and a networked printer on my network, and then my laptop
that
connects through the wireless. Eventually I plan to have a HTPC server
on
the network and get rid of my 400 disc DVD changer, and a couple more
HTPC
clients thus allowing me to access multiple movies on different TVs or
computers at the same time.

In the demo I've been setting up for all the screen shots, it's not
going to see the internet, I could set that up, but for right now, it's
all 'local only' in Virtual PC, which is like it's own enclosed network.
But I'm sure all of you would want your domain and your client computers
to see the internet.

That was one of the reasons I put up for running Vista. Sure, it uses
more power, but putting DOS on a quad core Xeon processor with oddles of
memory, and huge and fast drives is like putting a Nascar engine into a
slot car!

It is when you see a demo like that that you can understand the speed
limitations placed on our
computers by the storage.
The nice thing is that in perhaps two years the prices will have dropped
by a factor of 4 or so.
That will open up real possibilities for me. ATM a 120g SSD is about
$400. When that drops to $100
I can start building a RAID system that will make some of my work really
fly.
Now if the 4 gb DRAMS would just drop in price. 8( Those have been
hanging out at $200 each
forever. I need eight of them but who can afford that?
The truly funny thing is that each of us has a super mini computer
running on our desks - 19 1985 terms.
In 1986 I worked for a company that built super mini computers. They
designed a custom machine,
built out of 4 bit slice processors to get a 64 bit machine. They had
an entire card (2' x 2') full
of dims that was a mere 128 megs of ram. They had programmers writing a
custom version of Linux
just for their new machine... Selling these things for a cool million
apiece.
And my server has a quad core processor, each processor is probably
about 10 times faster and has
about 80 times more memory.
OTOH it is saddled with Windows, like a vampire... sucking the life out
of the computer...
