Thanks Robert and Francisco, now I have NO idea what I should do! :-) In
fact I have also lost track of what a trusted connection is, and what a
challenge-response is. Let me re-ask the original question (which,
incidentally, concerns getting the IBuySpy portal and store samples running.
It seems that I have at least two choices:

1. Change the server settings to use Windows authentication. If I do this,
does that mean I must create a Windows security group and then add any users
that I expect to hit the box? (That's ok, this is development stuff so there
will only be me and a couple of fictional users, but I've never done it
before.)

2. Change the connection string to embed a password and uid and lose the
trusted connection part of the string.

Am I on the right track?


Arthur

P.S.

In my current configuration, SQL Server, IIS and the .NET Framework are all
on the same box. But I have two other boxes available, both running SQL 2000
as well, so I could move the databases to one of those instead, if that
would help.

If the Sql Server is set to windows authentication and the IIS box is
hitting your sql server, I thought that "it" (the IIS server) was passing
it's security context for the connection.  I did not know that you could
implement windows authentications from an ASP page, still then the short and
quick answer for Arthur's question is you "can't" implement both sets of
security in which it piggy backs one on top of the other, in this solution.
Granted it does sound like a neat way to implement Windows authentication.

Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.0.20030502103431.02d16e40@mail.dalyn.co.nz>

We are in the process of completing a new installation.  We have created a 
runtime WXP ADP with a SQL2000 BE.  We have set security so that users that 
log onto the program can only access the parts that are relevant to 
them.  Fine so far.

What I haven't worked out yet is - What happens if someone gets hold 
of  the SQL database file (say for example from a backup tape), takes it 
home and attaches it to their own copy of SQL.  Is there any way to prevent 
them from being able to access the data or objects?

AFAIK the answer is no,  there nothing you can do to prevent them from being

Hi David:

If anyone gets access to your server room and the tapes stored there; there
is nothing they can not take. That is why Server rooms are usually securely
locked.

David,

If you have implemented security on the db and have the data encrypted,
then you are making it harder for them.  But, there is no way to protect
anything from anyone willing to spend enough time and money to get it.
The purpose of security is to make the cost of getting something
illegally higher than the value of what they are trying to get.  Who's
going to be dumb enough to spend $$$ for something only worth $?

So your mission is to assess how valuable is the data in the db and then
secure it enough so somebody has to spend more than that to steal the
data.

Quite right, Charles. We're back to locked rooms. Any network rack not in a
locked room is owned by an idiot, IMO. And further, anyone stupid enough to
store credit card numbers unencrypted in a db is begging for a lawsuit.

I have gone stupid looking for the answer to this.  I have a sproc that
calculates an average of several numbers, and runs fine in QA.  I cannot figure
out how to capture the output of the sproc so I can display it in anything other
than QA, MSQuery, etc.

The sproc is:
CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_LongMA] 
@inparam datetime,
@inparam2 datetime,
@MA money OUTPUT
AS
Select Avg (QQQValue) AS MovingAverage From tblQQQ  
Where  (QQQTime BETWEEN @inparam AND @inparam2)
GO

I call it from VB6 like so:

ssql_Fast = 
DECLARE @MA1 datetime 
DECLARE @MA2 datetime 
DECLARE @MA money 

SET @MA1 = '" & FastTime1 & " '
SET @MA2='" & FastTime2 & "' 
execute sp_LongMA @MA1, @MA2, @MA = @MA OUTPUT 

Again, it runs with no errors, but also with no indication of a returned value.

How do I write the @MA OUTPUT (the average) to a variable that I can access thru
VB6?   I set up an ADODB.Recordset in VB, call the sproc as above and get no
errors, but I cannot figure out what to look for in the returned recordset to
get the value of @MA.

Thanks for the advice Doris.  I have changed the sproc and it runs in QA -
although there is no value returned to the grid view.

I still cannot seem to figure out the correct name to read in the recordset.  If
I look for rs_Fast("@MA") I get a "Item cannot be found in the collection" error
and any other name I try comes up with the same.

And I thought datetime storage and retrieval was a bear!

No offense Susan but you really ought to read the chapter in Martin's and
Your book specifically the chapter on writing sprocs... for Sql Server there
is NO Iif as in Access' Immediate If statement, but you could acheive the
same results using a case statement.  You could also expand the abilities of
your sproc by using a user defined function, but because that runs for every
single row of the returned data it will run slower (typically) than a case
statement, look up "Case" and "User Defined Function" in BOL, read that
sproc chapter from your book Sql From Access to Sql Server... again no
offense... :o)

Hi Mark:

Have you got the right parameter code to receive the call back information?
Something like this:

objCmd.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@intCompanyCode", adInteger,
adParamInput, , lngCompanyCode)
objCmd.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@intRecords", adInteger,
adParamOutput)

After the SP is executed the information is returned in an array:

varRecordValue = objCmd(1)

HTH
Jim

Thanks for the advice Doris.  I have changed the sproc and it runs in QA -
although there is no value returned to the grid view.

I still cannot seem to figure out the correct name to read in the recordset.
If
I look for rs_Fast("@MA") I get a "Item cannot be found in the collection"
error
and any other name I try comes up with the same.

And I thought datetime storage and retrieval was a bear!

You haven't set @MA to anything so it is returning nothing. Try the
following...

CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_LongMA]
@inparam datetime,
@inparam2 datetime,
@MA money OUTPUT
AS
Select @MA = Avg (QQQValue) From tblQQQ
Where  (QQQTime BETWEEN @inparam AND @inparam2)
GO

I have gone stupid looking for the answer to this.  I have a sproc that
calculates an average of several numbers, and runs fine in QA.  I cannot
figure
out how to capture the output of the sproc so I can display it in anything
other
than QA, MSQuery, etc.

The sproc is:
CREATE PROCEDURE [sp_LongMA]
@inparam datetime,
@inparam2 datetime,
@MA money OUTPUT
AS
Select Avg (QQQValue) AS MovingAverage From tblQQQ
Where  (QQQTime BETWEEN @inparam AND @inparam2)
GO

I call it from VB6 like so:

ssql_Fast =
DECLARE @MA1 datetime
DECLARE @MA2 datetime
DECLARE @MA money

SET @MA1 = '" & FastTime1 & " '
SET @MA2='" & FastTime2 & "'
execute sp_LongMA @MA1, @MA2, @MA = @MA OUTPUT

Again, it runs with no errors, but also with no indication of a returned
value.

How do I write the @MA OUTPUT (the average) to a variable that I can access
thru
VB6?   I set up an ADODB.Recordset in VB, call the sproc as above and get no
errors, but I cannot figure out what to look for in the returned recordset
to
get the value of @MA.

TIA,

Mark Rider

Well, I did look around first -- but when I couldn't find anything on an If
function, I realized it probably didn't exist for SQL Server and that's why
I asked.

I can't read Martin's part of the book -- I don't read Irish! ;)

Francisco,

In the United States almost anyone can legally change their name for
almost any reason.  In many of the states all that you have to do is
fill out the proper forms, pay the proper fees, and affirm that you are
not changing your name to hide from your creditors or the law.  Check
with your local courthouse or a local lawyer on the details in your
state.

Are you thinking of changing your last name to Tapioca? <grin>  Or maybe
Tap?

I'm working on an app that could have used some normalization smarts in its
gestation, to be gentle. There are no less than 6 nearly identical tables,
with dozens of columns. I want to resolve them all into a single table
called Persons, and then from there break out their addresses (gak! There
are multiple embedded addresses in each of the six tables; I'm gonna blow
chunks in a minute :-) etc.

What I want right now is a SELECT statement that will give me the column
names and types etc. as rows from each table. Then I can UNION them and lose
all the duplicates and then create my Persons table and append all the rows
from the 6 tables. I took a look at syscolumns but I don't really understand
it.

Can anyone offer a sample query that lists the columns for a specified
table?

Actually, we had a bit of a problem with our name change.  In Minnesota,
you can apply for a marriage license in any county regardless of where
you live or where you are going to marry.  We applied in Hennepin County
(Minneapolis) because the office was convenient even though we live in
Ramsely County (St. Paul).  In Hennepin County you can't change your
name directly on the marriage application.  In Ramsey County you can.
We found that out AFTER we got married. So, we have to actually go
through the process Charles describes below to get our names changed.
So, legally, our last names haven't changed yet to Geller -- that will
take a couple of months of bureaucracy.  But, we call ourselves Geller
as of 4/27.

Francisco,

In the United States almost anyone can legally change their name for
almost any reason.  In many of the states all that you have to do is
fill out the proper forms, pay the proper fees, and affirm that you are
not changing your name to hide from your creditors or the law.  Check
with your local courthouse or a local lawyer on the details in your
state.

Are you thinking of changing your last name to Tapioca? <grin>  Or maybe
Tap?

tooooo funny!, that's exactly what I thought.. Typ-o.  I didn't know you
could make up a last name when you got married.  Is that just a state
thing or is that nation wide... (thinking why didn't I change my name to
something new ;o))

Is it safe to assume that the taller of the two young ladies in white
dresses is you?  And is the gentleman in the cumberbund/vest Chris?
Anyway, again Mazel Tov!  May you two have a long and prosperous life

 For those of you who know who I am, I just wanted to let you know that 
 I changed my name from Susan Zeller to Susan Geller on 4/27 when I got 
 married.  So, when you see "Geller", don't think typo.  I married 
 someone with the last name of Gellerman and we made up the last name 
 of Geller as a way of having a shared name.  Wedding was awesome and
 we are in total married bliss.

Yes, I'm the taller of white dress wearers.  The other is my oldest
niece.  And, the vest wearer is my now husband Chris.  In some of the
pics, the boy Chris is with is my nephew.  My niece and nephew did an
awesome job walking flowers down the aisle and enjoyed getting to dress

Ok recently married smartypants :-), how would I turn the resultset into a
create table statement?

BTW, I love your idea of both persons changing names. Unfortunately, I
didn't at the time have your nerve. I married a woman whose surname is
Ruskin (c.f. John Ruskin; they are related and I read everything he wrote
long before meeting Samantha). And I wanted to change my name to Ruskin but
copped out at the last moment :-(

Given your algorithm, this might have led to:

A) fullskin (nah, don't wanna go there)
B) ruskler (sounds like some a cattle thief)

The aforementioned John was the principal champion of Turner, my fave
painter in the world. I shoulda just grabbed her name and been done with it.

create  procedure dbo.MySproc

drop table [dbo].[MyTable]

	etc for rest of fields

Select table_name, column_name, etc

Re the name:  The algorithm definitely doesn't work for all names.  No
matter the change, it's a brave thing to do and I can certainly
understand how a person would cop out.  It's been hard for me and I'm
the one who is expected to change my name and the change is only one
letter!

Hello Guys,

In relation to this, I have asked the list previously, but do you find that
using commands and using OutPut parameters are arkward?

I try to avoid using output params if possible, also, I have been recently
using simple recordsets to run action sp's with nice tidy results.

It means that the parameters are loosely typed, but I am happy enough with
it,

any comments ?


Mark

It all becomes a question of which side you want to handle the bulk of the
processing.
By using recordsets, all processing happens on the CLIENT side.
By using output parameters, all processing happens on the SERVER side.

Hello Guys,

In relation to this, I have asked the list previously, but do you find that
using commands and using OutPut parameters are arkward?

I try to avoid using output params if possible, also, I have been recently
using simple recordsets to run action sp's with nice tidy results.

It means that the parameters are loosely typed, but I am happy enough with
it,

any comments ?

It is not necessarily such a clear cut.  I don't use output params at all, but rather return the result of action queries in the form of a recordset (1 row 1 column).  All processing logic sits on the server.

I too find it too cumbersome to write all that front end code that creates a
command object and bla bla bla bla bla. When I need something back,
typically I write a UDF that returns either a scalar value or a table,
depending on how many values I need back. The more I use UDFs the more I
love them.

Actually, the stuff in BOL is really comprehensive. Make sure you have
the updated BOL file and if not download it from MS page. The main
benefit that I have found from UDF's is that they return a recordset
that can be referenced as a table.  I use these in sprocs where I need
to pass the input parameter through to another query that is involved in
my sproc.  For example you can do this:

Create proc mySproc

@param1 varchar(10)

Select * from MyUDF(@param1)

Go

2000 -- I only have 2000 installed.

Pretty sure its been around for a while.  There's also COALESCE() which
seems to be preferred these days..

Both IsNull and Coalesce are in SQL 7 T-SQL Help  and are not listed

Subject: [dba-SQLServer]ADP form based on 1-to-many SQL statement
Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.0.20030507151242.00b41068@mail.dalyn.co.nz>

In A97 I had a form which was based on an SQL which joined three tables.  I 
was able to change any field from any of the tables.

Now in SQL2000 I am not.  Reading A2002 Enterprise Developers handbook 
(Litwin, Getz, Gunderloy) pg 280 they say that Fields on forms based on a 
one-to-many join represented as a SQL statement are updateable in a SQL2000 
database, regardless of which table contains the field.  So I am trying to 
find out what I am doing wrong.

I have set the unique table to the many table.  The resynch command has 
been done.  If I make the table based on only one table it works ok, but 
not on more than one.

I don't want to change the form to a form/subform structure if I can help 
it because it is already a subform of another form (although I am just 
trying to get it working on its own at the moment) and it would only add 
extra complication for the users (currently the full structure has two 
columns of fields that the user compares, updates fields, and then decides 
which column to commit to the database).

Send me the CREATE TABLE statements for the relevant tables off-list and
I'll begin experimenting. Even better would be a few INSERT statements to
populate them with a row or three each.

connection process fails.

Has anyone had any experience or information with this process. Please
answer off-line as this is an OT subject.

Subject: [dba-SQLServer]OT: *&^$*& PCMCIA Card
Message-ID: <BAY1-F451e0wcrGb4c100008ea0@hotmail.com>

Hello:

Just wondering if anyone out there can help out here with a little hardware 
advice.

I bought a PCMCIA card for my laptop (running on Win98) a few years ago, 
installed it and it has always worked well.  Then I format my laptop with 
Win2k Server evaulation and the card does not work properly anymore (same 
laptop, same slot, same driver, just different OS). The sympton?  It is 
*&*(&$% SLOW (must ping it with +3000 ms wait time to produce a response).  
Can anyone provide any advice?  The card model is PCMPC200 from linksys.

When I update the driver, it says something about not being digitally signed 
and thus the network adapter may not work properly.  Do I need a new card 
just for Win2k Server evaluation?

(As you have guessed it, I got the win2k server eval edition from the 70-215 
exam of the ms curriculm.  I can't complete any of the exercise because it 
requires two computers and the network card on my second computer is not 
working properly)

Thanks in advance,
Billy

If its a 10/100 card, try forcing it to 10 mbit rather than auto.  I had a
problem with a card in a win2k notebook a couple of years ago that worked
fine on win9x.  It wasn't until later that I "fixed" the problem by slowing
the card down.  A good 10 mbit connection is better than a nonexistant 100
mbit one.

If you need help with that drop me an email and I'll try and give you
instructions.

Thanks Stuart.  I took your advice and my network card works now.  My 
network card has about 15 settings and I tried changing them and somehow, by 
the luck of the draw, it works.  Still not as a fast as it was before with 
Win98 but it will do.  This exercise took a long time because everytime I 
change a setting on my network card it would not send or receive anything 
until I reboot my machine.
Thanks again

Message-ID: <5.2.0.9.0.20030512133547.026d3c38@mail.dalyn.co.nz>

Just a general question.  Some books suggest that when writing code you 
should always qualify objects with the owner name (eg dbo.tblCustomers).

How far should this be taken?  Should I be doing this for every field in 
every sproc? or are there sets of guidlines?  What benefits are there of 
including the owner name?

Message-ID: <00af01c31880$3fdfd4e0$8e01a8c0@Rock>

The main reason you should qualify names is because other users will be
accessing your stuff. Suppose you log on as 'sa' and then create some stuff.
As sa, you can SELECT * FROM myTables and it will work. Should any other
user issue the same command, it won't work. I got bitten by this problem in
my first ADP project and learned my lesson quickly. So all record and row
sources in my ADPs are now qualified.

It is not necessary to qualify every single column name etc., however. A
single reference will do, like so:

SELECT Customers.CompanyName, Orders.OrderID 
FROM dbo.Customers INNER JOIN dbo.Orders ON Orders.CustomerID =
Customers.CustomerID

You should qualify sprocs, views, UDFs and tables. I do it out of habit now,
even if I'm the only user of the given objects.

Actually, the main reason behind qualifying object names with schema owner is to eliminate the need for the optimizer to look for the same object under the schema name of the logged on user.  Following MS best practices, all objects need to be created by SA.  If that's the case, - the fact that others are going to use the objects does not require full schema qualification because after looking for the object of the schema owner of the logged on user the optimizer will look for the object created by the database owner.  However, it is a good practice to always fully qualify object names with schema owner.

Thanks for the clarification. From the pov of Access, though, I'm not 100%
sure you are correct. I have had forms break because of unqualified record
sources. As soon as I added the prefix "dbo.", said broken forms suddenly
began working as expected. So what you say may apply to the back end, but
I'm not entirely sure it applies to the Access ADP file (and perhaps other
front ends).

While pondering how to write a sproc that would generate inserts, I came
across this wonderful chunk of code that does everything we could want.
Since it's a no-brainer to generate CREATE TABLE scripts, with this script
in hand, any and all of us can quickly generate a script enabling fellow
listers to create a database, the requisite tables, and some sample data.
Thus complex questions can be posed, along with a script to recreate the
gory details.

Get the generate-insers script here:
http://vyaskn.tripod.com/code/generate_inserts.txt. IMO it is a very slick
hunk of T-SQL.

I would use queries to delete the records.
Try 'DELETE * FROM ttmpLoadAllocateImp WHERE (((Field5) Is Null)) OR

Hello Arthur,

Is that what I think it is?

I have been considering writing a tool for a while that will concatenate
onto the script that EM can generate that would repopulate my tables for me,
especially with ones with the ID set to 0,

At a glance, it looks like he has done it for us,

Tks

Hello Arthur,

Is that what I think it is?

I have been considering writing a tool for a while that will concatenate
onto the script that EM can generate that would repopulate my tables for me,
especially with ones with the ID set to 0,

At a glance, it looks like he has done it for us,

Message-ID: <806536912C472E4A9D6515DF2E57261E0C5A5E@mercury.tnco-inc.com>

Hi All,

SS7 on Win2000 Server
IIS4 on WinNT 4 Server

I am trying to create an ASP page that makes a connection to a SS7 database
using an ADODB Connection object.

When I test the ASP page I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e4d' 
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.

How do I control what user the web server uses to connect to SS7?
What I mean is that I did not anticipate ANONYMOUS LOGON to be used for the
database access and would like to have the web server use a different NT
login.

Here is the code I am using in my ASP page:

Dim OBJdbConnection 
Set OBJdbConnection = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
OBJdbConnection.ConnectionTimeout = 15 
OBJdbConnection.CommandTimeout = 30 
OBJdbConnection.Open "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=SQLSERVER;Initial
Catalog=TimeTracker;Integrated Security=SSPI"


Thanks,
Joe R.

Mark,
 
It T-SQL you reference a table in another db using the IN clause in
which you give the path name to the db containing the table.  You should
be able to find info about this in BOL.

You can do this in any part of the sproc, such as
YourDBA.dbo.sprocName
calls the following
Select * From YourDBb.dbo.TableName
or even
Select * From Db_A.dbo.TableName AS A Inner Join Db_B.dbo.TableName AS B on
A.CommonField = B.CommonField

and as Charles suggested, check the BOL :o)

Perhaps he is referring to a problem with ADP's using views and the tables

In the IIS Manager, if you right-click the directory housing your applcation
to view its properties, under Directory Security, you will find the account
that anonymous web requests are run under.

You can change that user here, or configure other methods of authentication.

Alternatively you can specify a username and password in your database
connection string, which therefore assumes SQL Server authentication.

Here are some examples of connection strings that you may use (watch wrap):

I am looking for a tool that will show the security permissions for a 
database.  Ideally it would be set out similar to the permissions screen 
with the objects down the left hand side, and the permissions along the 
top.  I would like a separate report for each role.

Does anyone know of a tool like this?

Hi all,

I have a strange problem with my Access 2K app:

The app uses linked ODBC tables to connect to a SQL-Server 2000. One of the
tables actually links a view that combines data from 2 tables. A data entry
form is based on that linked table.

I can update data in all the fields with one exception: when I try to update
data in fields that originate from both base tables I get this ODBC error:

"[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]View of function
'dbo.myview' is not updateable because the modification affects multiple
base tables. (#4405#)"

It does not make a difference if I try that in the data entry form or the
linked table directly.

Now, the strange thing is, if I open the view on the server using the
enterprise manager, I _can_ update fields from different base tables
simultaneously.

Is there any way to 'convince' my app, that this kind of updates _is_
possible?

Hi All,

Does anyone have any routines that I could put in a stored procedure in SS7
that will generate random alpha-numeric passwords?
I would like to be able to also specify what length of a password that I
want.

If you don't have one, maybe someone has a idea of how to do this?

Thank in advance!

I wrote something to do this and it's on my website, but it was written
for a BE of Access tables. From the fact that you've posted here I take
it your BE is SQL Server. Don't suppose it'd work but if you want to try
it's at http://www.minstersystems.co.uk/download.htm

I know it has been a long time but I finally managed to get around to 
fixing this part of my program.  I have a couple of refinements that I have 
shown below.  One is that if the apostrophe is at the end of the text then 
it would not have been picked up (needed to change the comparison to 
<=).  Second was that if there was more than 1 apostrophe then because the 
ChkText was getting longer with the extra apostrophes it might not have 
checked to the end so I deleted the lbLength variable and checked against 
the new length each loop.  Here is my amended code.

Public Function basFixSingleQuote(strChkText As String) As String

     Dim intPosition As Integer

     intPosition = InStr(1, strChkText, "'")

     Do While intPosition > 0 And intPosition <= Len(strChkText)
         strChkText = Left(strChkText, intPosition) & Mid(strChkText, 
intPosition)
         intPosition = InStr(intPosition + 2, strChkText, "'")
     Loop

     basFixSingleQuote = strChkText

End Function

MessageHello All,

I have started using VID recently to do all my database work.  I am finding it great.  Building sprocs in it are much easier than in Enterprise manager.

For some reason, in the last few days, when I edit SQL within an Sproc or a view within VID, it does not display my columns, even though they are turned on!

I am presuming that I clicked something, but I have no idea what it is, I cannot find anything in the BOl to help me, it must be something simple.

Has anyone any ideas?  Are any of you guys using VID to edit database work?  Do you like it, have you found anything better ?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Mark

Visual Interdev - part of the MS Visual Studio Suite.
 
Must say after using VI for 3 years I never realised you could do that!
 
I use it all the time in VS.Net but had no idea.

there isn't just a simple onestep trim function, but I suppose if you really
wanted one, you could just build a UDF for it, (sql2000 and up).

Message-ID: <806536912C472E4A9D6515DF2E57261E0C5A78@mercury.tnco-inc.com>

Hi All,

When using xp_sendmail from a stored procedure in SS7, is it possible to
format the output of the query specified in the @query parameter?
Below is what I got in an email by using xp_sendmail. As you can see it is
pretty much useless to the untrained eye.

Message-ID: <E9B1A11A598ED411B00E00508BDC9C3D05632543@GUARDIAN_5>

I need to create an update trigger on a table to update a field in another
table.  This is the scope:

Originating table: 	System  /**I did not name it, proprietary package**/
Field:			CS_No 
Key Field:		Site_no

Destination Table:	Recur_Line
Field:			UDF1CS_no
Key Field:		Service_Site_No

Scenario:  When the user is in the system, he enters in a CS_No in the
table(System) field(CS_No).
I need this to populate the UDF1CS_no field in the Recur_Line table

when the System.Site_no=Recur_Line.SiteNo

This is my first "cross pollinating" trigger as I refer to it.  Does anyone
have an example?  Thanks, gurus.

OK.  This got me farther, but now I am suffering from MS-VBA withdrawal.  I
am used to being able to put event procedures on a form to just select the
current record.  This is a proprietary package, so I can not make changes to
the form.  How do you select the current record?  Is that possible?  I don't
want to update all records in the table as this is a default update, the
user may change the value in certain situations.  Thanks.

I wrote something to do this and it's on my website, but it was written

for a BE of Access tables. From the fact that you've posted here I take

it your BE is SQL Server. Don't suppose it'd work but if you want to try

it's at http://www.minstersystems.co.uk/download.htm

OT subject - I am looking for a product to track the drive capacity,
reserved, allocated and unallocated space on my servers - up to 30 different
drives.  It would be nice if it held historical data, or just provided the
means to export to a comma delimited file for importing into a product for
graphing.  I found the Free Disk Space 2.01C program, but it does not offer
the reserved, allocated or unallocated information, just volumes and free
space.  Anybody have a recommendation?

It only happens for 1 of the three companies, it consistently happens, and 
to make matters worse, it works fine on my machine, but has the problem on 
another.

Has anyone experienced this before or is it just a plan by psychiatrists to

David,

That apostrophe tells Excel that what follows in the cell is to be
treated as text, not numbers.  If you want the cell values to be treated
as numbers, then you need to change the exporting field datatypes from
varchar to numeric datatypes.

The thing is that it didn't happen when I had A97 linked to an A97 
BE.  Text cells just had the text in them without the apostrophes.

Another unusual thing is that some text fields have apostrophes at the 
beginning and end of the text, other text fields only have an apostrophe at 
the beginning!

David,

The apostrophe is an Excel, not an Access, specification for a text
field.  Thus Access doesn't need it, but Excel does, so Access puts it
in when you export text strings to Excel.  A string delimited by quotes
also indicates a text field to Excel.

The thing is that it didn't happen when I had A97 linked to an A97 
BE.  Text cells just had the text in them without the apostrophes.

Another unusual thing is that some text fields have apostrophes at the 
beginning and end of the text, other text fields only have an apostrophe
at 
the beginning!

OK, the only place that seems to have any settings is the User DSN 
tab.  But there is nothing to indicate sort orders (or much else).  Part of 
the problem is that I am not sure what I am looking for?

Further testing has shown that it is only if SQL tables are exported that 
the apostrophes appear, if I export direct from a sproc then they are not 
included.

David,

If your sproc is not using the export wizard then you have to insert the
apostrophe where and when needed.  The export wizard knows about the
various datatypes of M$ products and can handle them appropriately.
Your sproc only knows what you tell it. <grin>

Further testing has shown that it is only if SQL tables are exported
that 
the apostrophes appear, if I export direct from a sproc then they are
not 
included.

Sorry Charles.  The problem is that apostrophes are being added when we 
don't want them!  See the bottom of the message for the code I am using.
