RE: Submit after Page loads

2004-10-21 Thread Bill Grover
Personally I wouldn't use the js at the beginning of frame b.  Have the button 
disabled by default then use the onload method to enable the button.  Something along 
the line of:

(frame a)


(frame b)

function LoadEnable() {
parent.frames['framea'].submitbutton.enable = true;
}



...

Anyhow, my $.02 worth.

RE: 100% CPU

Thanks for the info.  I agree 100% not to make the system do all that work.  I'm going to change the datasource definitions on my development server today.  Since they will continue to work I'll change my live server tomorrow.

Subject: RE: 100% CPU

Bill,

FYI In regard to point 9 below. When you use a regular "server name" instead
of a FLQN name you cause the JDBC server system to do the following:

First it uses the unc service...

check the host file for that string to resolve (no dice)
check dns (also no dice)

.move to rnc service (windows locator - basically a handoff to
windows)

check lmhosts file (if enabled and configured to do so)...
check active directory created flqn on the nearest dc if you are on a domain
([EMAIL PROTECTED])
check Active dir on the master domain controller if nearest dc fails..
try to resolve the name using windows locator broadcasting

It's a lot of hoops just for a friendlier naming scheme.  Mostly, you just
don't want windows to have to do this work for you. Windows networking is
more dns based, but it still has a locator service with a fairly complicated
heirarchy of resolution attempts. Instead, you want the JDBC service to
bypass the application layer and get that name resolved prior to it arriving
at the windows locator service. Simply ask yourself - "how is the server
going to resolve this name".

Mark Minasi's "mastering windows server 200x" books have some great
information on how windows goes about this process.

Subject: RE: 100% CPU

Bill,

I went through a similar process with a client of ours. We did several
things to mitigate this issue.

1. Eliminate Access dbs.  If you have anything running on Access get rid of
it.
2. Make sure and use the JDBC Merant 3.3 drivers for SQL - this is an update
from 6.1.
3. Check out long running db requests - maintenance tasks, utility tasks,
data imports, exports and dumps ect.  Create a separate datasource for
these, restrict the number of connections and deselect the "maintain db
connections" for that db resource in cf admin.
4.  Fiddle with the JVM maxperm memory, and heap sizes. Try to get them
large enough so that the heap is not being constantly resized and garbage
collection is efficient. There are a ton more JVM settings depending on the
JVM you are using.
5. Use Perfmon to figure out which resource is hanging.
6. Consider increasing the process isolation in IIS for the application - it
can tell you if IIS is having conflicts with other processes outside the ap.
7. Check the web logs for a burst of http requests at the point of failure.
One customer I know created a dynamic publishing system with constantly
updated content - then he used google adsense to serve ads and make himself
money. But every time a new page was published (new to google) the
googlebots attack to figure out which ads to serve.  Since his server was
near capacity this sometimes surfaced as a denial of service type attack
(much like you are seeing) - and since many of his pages were driven by
database calls it looked like a possible db problem - or connection issue
etc.
8. Consider moving the SQL server Off of the web server.
9. Make sure and use a FQDN for the server name in the database
administrator. In other words, don't use "127.0.0.1" or any other IP
address.  use "sql.mydomain.com" type syntax. In fact, put the domain in the
HOST file if you have a default win server configuration. Windows will check
the host file first to resolve the domain - which saves a dns request.  JDBC
will attempt to resolve an ip into a domain name using reverse lookup before
making a connection. In many cases this results in a lengthy initial
connection request.  Having a guaranteed resolution to a flqn (a la the host
file) eliminates this problem.

That's my short list - anyone else?

1.5Gb of RAM.  The app gets about 2.5 million page requests a month, peaking

The app is well behaved, with most requests taking about half a second. 
There seem to be no particular long running requests that trigger it.

This happened a couple of months ago and I restricted the amount of memory
SQL server used and increased the RAM on the box to 1.5Gb. It currently 
appears to have about 3-400Mb free.

I've installed the CFMX updater (released a few days ago), reinstalled
ColdFusion, scandisked the drive and defragged.

I wonder if anyone can give me any clues on what else to look for. Surely we
should be able to get more traffic out of this spec machine?

Many thanks

RE: stored procedures

2004-08-26 Thread Bill Grover
True, but coming up with the execution plan is what takes the longest and has the greatest impact on the server.  So by having a SP once it is executed and that execution plan is cached they become very quick.

 
For example, I have a SP that uses about 10 select statements to retrieve data from 4 different databases and about 15 different tables.  The 1st time it is run it takes about 10-15 seconds to return 2,100 rows.  If I wait a few seconds and run it again it takes about 3 seconds to return the same rows.  That is where the benefit of SP's are, that once run all future runs are significantly faster.

You can also dig down to the java level and do this in a database
independent way through the macromedia.jdbc.MacromediaDriver class if you
need to support more than just MSSQL and MySQL.

I have written a CFC that does this, but I haven't tested it on many
systems.

I'll try to get it tidied up and make it available once it's been tested a
bit more thoroughly.

Printing resulted in no new page requests!

And the browser display of the chart does not expire after 5 minutes.

I could be wrong but I thought I read somewhere awhile ago that IE makes another call.  I know that one of my pages which uses the cfchart tag if I don't print the page within about 30 seconds all of the charts will change from what they are to a label saying that the chart expired refresh the page.

Totally within the browser -- no page request to the server.

Some pages have  a button to format for printing -- this usually is a  
request to the server for another page with the data formatted in plain  
text, with no (or limited) html tags.

You could also do this client side with _javascript_.

RE: Backup SQL Server Users

2004-06-09 Thread Bill Grover
Dave's article will work fine.

 
If you will be running SQL2000 on both servers just make sure they are both on the same SP level and the only thing you need to do is restore the master database.  Then when you restore the individual databases everything will work just fine.  We have done that here several times without a problem.

RE: Is Parallel Processing Possible With CF?

2004-03-24 Thread Bill Grover
Maybe I'm way off base but what if you created a page with multiple frames and in each frame loaded a page that synced a different site.  Wouldn't each frame be processed as a different request causing CF to process them in parallel?

There is a multi-threaded CFHTTP replacement tag floating around on one 
of the DRK's.  You could use that to have a single scheduled task 
simultaneously kick off several processes.

Sorry but maybe 4.5 and up.  If you try it in 4.01 form was not a structure, you had to do the evaluate.  Believe me I wanted it to work when we were on that version prior to our upgrade.

If you want to save on some of the typing you can rework the select statement into this:

 
select count(createdate), createdate
    from (select convert(varchar, creationdate, 101) AS createdate

The 2 are mutually exclusive.  One is the "group" of all the stuff on
    this
day, but the other (the actual date) is not merely a date - but a - by
nature a very unique item - down to the second. So you are actually
  getting
the grouping you are asking for.  If 2 referals occured at the exact
  instant
(say '3/4/2004 5:07:35 PM') ... then you would see "2 3/4/2004 5:07:35
  PM" -
but since that's unlikey this is more or less like doing a "select *
from.".  What you need is a label and an order by clause:

SELECT COUNT(creationdate) AS TotalRefsPerDay,
  datepart(month,creationdate)
+ '-' + datepart(day,creationdate) + '-' + datepart(year,creationdate)
    AS
datelabel
group by datepart(dw,creationdate)
order by datelabel

or something similar.  The DateName( ) function would work as well -
    maybe
better. It usally takes some work to get it exactly right.

RE: CFMX 6.1 VFP ODBC Resolved

2004-02-23 Thread Bill Grover
That would be true.  CF is running as a service and doesn't have access to any "mapped drives".  We find that using UNC naming works great ( \\server\share\dir\dir\file.dbf).

 
As you also found out the CF Service needs to be running as a user who has rights to the share and directory you want to access.

In my Microsoft ODBC config, I was using a mapped drive to get to the other box where the dbf resided. Once I changed it to use an IP, CF now sees the dbf. Go figure.

RE: Which is quicker

Interesting, thanks.  I thought I had done that before and received an error about not being able to nest the CFIF tag inside another tag.  But it is very possible I was using a CFINPUT instead of a regular INPUT.  I was probably on v4.01 at the time as well.

RE: List ? in a CFIF

2004-01-23 Thread Bill Grover
I beg to differ on a point.  ListFind returns the index of the item found, not True/False.    So ListFind("Blue,Black","Blue") = 1 but ListFind("Blue,Black","Black") = 2.  If you try to find something that isn't in the list the return value is zero, so ListFind("Blue,Black","Red") = 0

 
It is just the nature of CF that a value of any value other than zero is true and zero is false, which can be used to great advantage.

the thing that might confuse you is the fact there is only a function listed

RE: Two Destinations for POST form?

2004-01-13 Thread Bill Grover
Another option is to do something like the following.  I've done this a couple of places where we wrote systems that submitted to a page then after everything is released the specs changed and we needed to submit to 2 pages to get things to work.

 
Have your form submit to a page that does your local stuff.  Then at the bottom of that page have the following code:

 

    

    


<br>
    document.values.submit();<br>


So now your localpage will submit on to the SMS page which will still display to the user what it usually does.

RE: CFFunction Question - SOLVED

2004-01-06 Thread Bill Grover
Thanks to Raymond, Bryan and everyone else that responded.  I did log a bug as Raymond suggested.

There was 2 solutions to the problem.  The first solution was to pass the default value in for every argument that I didn't want to change.  Very messy, but it does work.

The 2nd solution was to use the  then output #var#.  When I left this yesterday I was receiving a message about var being undefined.  This morning on my way in it suddenly came to me that I was seeing the output of my function on the screen before the error message appeared, just not where I wanted it.  This got me thinking about how my function was declared.

I had declared my function with the  argument output="Yes".  This was causing the UDF's body to be output.  But I never had a  in my function declaration so nothing was actually returned to be put in the variable I was trying to set.  DUH!

So I changed the  to have output="no", loaded the HTML I wanted to output into a variable in the UDF then did a  of that variable.  This works like a champ!

Once again, thanks for all the help.

Ah, ok. It is in the error msg, but in small type:

Use ordered arguments instead. 

It looks like if you copy a UDF to one of the built-in scopes, you can't do

CFFunction Question

2004-01-05 Thread Bill Grover
Oh Great Guru's!

 
I'm sure the solution is simple but I can't seem to find the answer.  Basically how do you call a  with only some of the arguments?

 
I have the following function:

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
A BUNCH OF CODE GOES HERE!

 
  
   
 
  target="_blank" 
  title="EU Services | Customer Inventory Browser">#ARGUMENTS.tcLinkDesc#
   
    NA
   
  


 
When I call the function this way:

 
#REQUEST.fImageCol(KitItems.CarrierInv)#

 
Everything works perfectly.  However, I need to call the function and pass in the last 2 arguments.  If I try and call the function like this:

 
#REQUEST.fImageCol(KitItems.CarrierInvAPPLICATION.cJobImgLinkType, APPLICATION.cJobImgLinkDesc)#

 
The program fails with the message: Missing Argument Name.  How do I call the fuction and only pass the 3 arguments I want to?

RE: CFMAIL vs. CDO

2004-01-01 Thread Bill Grover
We had an application that used CDO to e-mail to a list of about 2,500 
people.  The application would create an object, send and e-mail to 1 
address, drop the object then update a table that it had e-mailed that 
address.  Yes it might not have been the most efficient but we only ran it 
once a month and one of the highest priorities was to insure that if the 
application crashed in the middle of sending the e-mail that when restarted 
it wouldn't send the e-mail to the same address a 2nd time.

When it ran under CF 4.01 it would take about 10-15 minutes to send the 
e-mails.  After migrating to MX 6.0 it would take hours to run.  We ended 
up rewritting the application to directly write files to CF's mail spool 
folder.

RE: cflogin vs. GetAuthUser

2003-12-30 Thread Bill Grover
As Dave said cflogin does a lot of things other than just setting session 
variables.  But whatever works, I found that using the cflogin in MX was 
much easier than writing my own, especially if you want to do several 
things during login.  Basically what I did was the following:

In my Application.cfm page I have the following lines:


 


Login.cfm is the following:



 



 
 
   datasource="#APPLICATION.cWebClientDSN#"
   username="#APPLICATION.cWebClientUser#"
   password="#APPLICATION.cWebClientPass#">
 
  cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"
  value="#FORM.UserName#"
  null="No">
 
  cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"
  value="#FORM.UserPass#"
  null="No">
 
 

 
 
  password="#FORM.UserPass#"
  roles="">
 
WebClientInfo.wcu_id>
 
WebClientInfo.wcu_userid>
 
 
 
WebClientInfo.wcu_email>
 
WebClientInfo.wcu_company>
 
WebClientInfo.wcu_usermaint>
 

 
 



 
 
 
 


And GetLogin.cfm is:







 
 #APPLICATION.cTitle#
 



 

 
GetFileFromPath(GetBaseTemplatePath()))>
 
   method="post">
 
 
 
  
CGI.query_string>
 
 
   method="post">

 
 
lcField) EQ 0>
 
name="#lcField#" value="#Form[lcField]#">

RE: cflogin vs. GetAuthUser

2003-12-30 Thread Bill Grover
This is correct,  you must use the cfloginuser within the cflogin 
tag.  cflogin looks for session variables it sets to determine if you have 
run the cflogin tag before.  If these variables are not found then it 
executes the code withing the tag pair.  You should put your cfloginuser 
tag in here.

GetAuthUser() simply returns the name of the user you supplied in the 
cfloginuser tag.  I use this after my  pair to insure that a user 
really got logged in.  If the user didn't get logged in then I deal with it 
there.  More specifically, I use cflogin to attempt to login a user when 
they haven't logged in yet.  The code within the tag will take their user 
information and validate it aginst a list of valid users and if they are 
found then execute the cfloginuser tag to do the actual login.  Once the 
tag ends I make a call to GetAuthUser() to validate that I have a user name 
and continue to let the page load, otherwise I reprompt the user for their 
information.

Hope that helped.

RE: Ektron CMS

2003-12-12 Thread Bill Grover
We use their emPower software and like it.  You just have to be real careful about how it is installed.  We've had the best success by accepting all  the defaults when installing.  This allowed us to push all publishing to our admin/marketing department and IS doesn't do any of it any more.  

 
The only thing we as the IS department do is some of the special sections where security and registration is required.  Then we write the code needed to run to validate the security and leave the rest up to the users to add the content in the page.

 
You can checkout our website via the link below.  Everything but the RFQ, MyEU and phone directory lookup pages are powered by emPower.

Subject: Ektron CMS

Hi Folks,

Has anyone here implemented a site using the Ektron CMS product "CMS
300"? We use their eWebEditPro WYSIWYG editor a lot and find it great,
but as yet haven't looked at their CMS products.

What are they like from a developers point of view? Any major hassles
working with it? What's the CF integration like?

thanks, bye!

RE: (CF 6 reliability) from Re: Memory Leak on Win2k/CMX6.1

2003-11-04 Thread Bill Grover
We are running 6.1 and have seen a memory leak, not severe.  We seem to run fine for a couple of weeks before things begin to slow down.  We've found that simply stopping and restarting the service will fix the issue.

 
We might try the Microsoft JDBC drivers to see if that doesn't help us.

Subject: Re:(CF 6 reliability) from Re: Memory Leak on Win2k/CMX6.1

Hi all,

I have recently installed CFMX 6.1 in a high traffic production
environment, and I can say that I haven't experienced this memory leak
problem.

I am getting quite a few deadlock errors and service too busy error,
but I suspect thats an issue with the questionable code that we
inherited.

By high traffic I mean around 70,000 page views per day.

My machine configuration is:
Intel Xeon 2.4GHz cache
1024 MB RAM
36 G Hard Drive

It was a completely fresh install of MS Windows 2000 Server, fully
patched, and a completely fresh install of CFMX.

I'm using the JDBC drivers provided by Microsoft and installed as
described in this technote:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/cfmx_config_mssql2000.htm

Hope this helps someone get to the bottom of their problem...

RE: Query to Stored Proc

On further thought,  The where clause could possibly even be simplified to the following.

 
WHERE 1 = CASE
   WHEN FormrfpNumber <> '' AND o.rfpNumber = FormrfpNumber THEN 1
   WHEN FormTitle <> '' AND o.title = FormTitle THEN 1
   WHEN FormAwardType <> -1 AND o.awardtypeid = FormAwardType THEN 1

RE: Query to Stored Proc

2003-11-04 Thread Bill Grover
Caveat: My experience is with MS SQL so this may not apply to other flavors!

 
Yes you can do what Mike say, just be careful where you place your spaces.  In Mike's example the trailing space after the "where" would be truncated off so your where clause could end up looking like "wherebar=1" which would be invalid.  It is better to put the space at the beginning of your string something like ' bar=1' to result in a string of "where bar=1"

 
You can also do what you want without having the string with case statements in your where clause.  You would need to pass all of your form fields as parameters in the stored procedure.  Your statement would then be like:

 
SELECT
O.opportunityId,
O.title,
O.lastUpdateUserId,
O.lastUpdateOn,
O.createDate,
U1.firstName AS creatorFirstName,
U1.lastName AS creatorLastName,
U1.emailAddress AS creatorEmailAddress,
U2.firstName AS updaterFirstName,
U2.lastName AS updaterLastName,
U2.emailAddress AS updaterEmailAddress,
P.phaseName
FROM
tbl_opportunity O
LEFT JOIN tbl_user U1 ON (O.createUserId = U1.userId)
LEFT JOIN tbl_user U2 ON (O.lastUpdateUserId = U2.userId)
LEFT JOIN tbl_phase P ON (O.phaseId = P.phaseId)
WHERE 1=0
    OR 1 = CASE
WHEN FormrfpNumber <> '' AND o.rfpNumber = FormrfpNumber THEN 1
ELSE 0
    END
OR 1 = CASE
WHEN FormTitle <> '' AND o.title = FormTitle THEN 1
 ELSE 0
END
OR 1 = CASE
WHEN FormAwardType <> -1 AND o.awardtypeid = FormAwardType THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
ORDER BY
O.createDate DESC

RE: whitespace is breaking my javascript

2003-08-27 Thread Bill Grover
I found that when we updated from CF 4.01 to MX and I turned on the server setting to 
remove whitespace my javascript started to break as well.  In this case it was due to 
bad coding practice.  I was neglecting to put ';' at the end of each statement so when 
the server removed the whitespace I would end up with several statements on 1 line.  
So I went through and put the ;'s in and everything started working.

What made me think of this was the javascript code you gave.  Basically the 2 lines:

 // return message
 return this.lang_data[_block][arguments.message];

Could end up as 

 // return message return this.lang_data[_block][arguments.message];

causing it to treat it as a comment.

Just my $.02 worth.

2003-08-25 Thread Bill Grover
With MSSQL 2000 you can create UDF's.  Your UDF would be the following, this is the 
only way I can think of to solve your issue.

CREATE FUNCTION  
(@tnUserid  int)
RETURNS varchar(4000)
AS
BEGIN
declare @Worklist varchar(4000)
set @Worklist = ''

select @Worklist = @Worklist
   + case
 when len(@Worklist) > 0 then ','
 else ''
 end
   + cast(orderNo as varchar)
from orders
where orderid = @tnUserID

RETURN @Worklist
END
GO

RE: Updating MDAC

2003-08-21 Thread Bill Grover
I know what you are saying, it's happened here before!  Something in the back of my 
mind tells me that Microsoft started shipping the Jet drivers as part of the OS.  I 
can't remember where I heard/saw that but it's a fuzzy memory in the back of my mind.

RE: SQL Question...

2003-08-14 Thread Bill Grover
I don't believe there is a direct conversion available for your field.  If you are 
using SQL 2000 you can write a function that will take your field, split it at the '/' 
and then do the math returning the numeric result.  You can then use that in your 
select statement.

RE: Brain Teaser2

2003-08-14 Thread Bill Grover
I forgot to add you can even expand it to include different servers.  You need to 
create a linked server but once you do you can access it remotely.  So the expanded 
version would be:

SELECT *
FROM server.database1.dbo.anytable dt1 INNER JOIN 
server.database2.dbo.anytable dt2 ON dt1.record_id = dt2.record_id

RE: Brain Teaser2

2003-08-14 Thread Bill Grover
That's pretty much how you do it in MS SQL (SQL7, SQL2000).  The difference is that 
you use the database name, which may or may not be the same as your datasource name.  
So your example is more like:

SELECT *
  FROM database1.dbo.anytable dt1 INNER JOIN 
database2.dbo.anytable dt2 ON dt1.record_id = dt2.record_id

RE: Brain Teaser2

2003-08-11 Thread Bill Grover
In fact, as long as the user you use in the cfquery tag has access to the databases 
none of the databases referenced in the select statement have to match the database in 
the cfquery tag.

RE: SQL: Brain Teaser

2003-08-08 Thread Bill Grover
If you wanted to do it all in SQL you can try the following.  I would write it as a 
stored procedure and call that but you might be able to do it in a cfquery.  The trick 
is that if you select into a variable and the select statement will have multiple rows 
the variable assignment happens for each row so you can effectively append to the 
variable.

declare @lnUserid int,
@lcUserName varchar(50),
@lcComments varchar(8000),
@lrFinalComments table (userid int, 
username varchar(50), 
comments varchar(8000))

declare UserList cursor fast_forward
for select userid, username
from users

open UserList

fetch next from UserList into @lnUserid, @lcUserName

while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
set @lcComments = ''
select @lcComments = @lcComments + comment + ''
from comments
where userid = @lnUserid
insert into @lrFinalComments
values (@lnUserid, 
@lcUserName, 
left(@lcComments, len(@lcComments) - 4))
fetch next from UserList into @lnUserid, @lcUserName
end

select * from @lrFinalComments

RE: T-SQL division drops the decimal?

2003-08-01 Thread Bill Grover
Joshua, I bump into this all the time.  You said it is a numeric field but what is the 
definition of your numeric field.  If it is something like numeric(5,0) then there are 
no decimal places for it to work with.

Like Mark said, to get the fraction part just do it as 2.0 and T-SQL will to an 
implicit type conversion of all the numbers and return the fraction part.

RE: Virtual directories and UNC paths not working on CFMX?

2003-07-18 Thread Bill Grover
You might also want to confirm that the CFMX service is still running under your user 
account.  If memory serves me correct I believe ours was reset to the "system account" 
setting after the upgrade and we had to reset it back to our domain user.

Once we did that all UNC and network drive access worked fine.

RE: Unusual SQL error

2003-07-07 Thread Bill Grover
Maybe but not necessarily.  It is possible that SQL thinks the most efficient way to 
retrieve the data is to process the 2nd part of the where before the 1st part.  If you 
have data in your fields that are not dates then your select will fail because of this 
data.

MAXDOP goes beyond just the where clauses.  If you are joining tables together SQL 
will actually do selects on each individual table simultaneously then link the results 
together before doing the final filtering.  The MAXDOP setting controls how many of 
these selects will take place simultaneously.

I hope that answered your question.

RE: Returning value from a stored procedure?

2003-07-07 Thread Bill Grover
Maybe try spelling out the word "OUTPUT" in your stored procedure instead of "OUT"?  
Just a thought.

RE: Unusual SQL error

2003-07-07 Thread Bill Grover
Sounds to me like when SQL created it's execution plan it is running several parts of 
the query simultaneously.  For some reason when this happens it causes a conflict 
within your query.  What SQL is asking you to do is give it a hint about how to 
process the query to avoid this problem.

RE: visual fox pro db?

2003-07-02 Thread Bill Grover
That's what I thought.

Yeah the terminology is a royal PITA.  And even VFP's database implementation of 
triggers and such is not the cleanest in the world.

Thankfully of all the systems we wrote only 2 are left using VFP tables, the rest have 
been converted to SQL.  If we ever get a few months free we might think of converting 
them as well, but they work so we aren't going to break the wheel.

RE: visual fox pro db?

2003-07-02 Thread Bill Grover
Sorry it took so long to respond, I got pulled out of the office all of yesterday.

I suspect that you are doing your DTS import your DSN is set to use a VFP database.  
In this case when you see the table list SQL is retrieving it from a list of tables 
stored in the VFP database.  The VFP database information is stored in a set of 3 
files, ?.dbc, ?.dct, ?.dcx where ? is common among the files.  This container holds 
neat things like triggers, defaults, referential integrity and so on.

However, having said that, it is possible to create VFP tables know as "free tables".  
These are tables just like ones in the database but are not linked to any database.  
There are a few restrictions (no triggers, column names < 10 characters, etc) but 
otherwise these tables can be accessed just like tables that are part of a VFP 
database.

So my thought is that the 3 sets of files you are not seeing in your import list are 
free tables.  Create yourself another DSN telling the system to use tables instead of 
the database.  You should now see all of the tables in the folder, both the ones that 
are part of the database and the ones that are not.  You should be able to select all 
of the tables you want to import.

Hope that helps.

RE: CFDIRECTORY over a LAN

2003-06-13 Thread Bill Grover
We have noticed the same thing.  We have an application where the user
enters a job number and using CFDIRECTORY we retrieve all of the files in
several directories that match a pattern using that job number.  We then
display a grid of record counts for the user to verify.  Once verified the
user can update our ERP database with counts so that the proper job
instructions can be generated.

My suspicion is that CF is opening and closing the network connection
several times during the CFDIRECTORY thus slowing down the function.

Just my $.02 worth.

RE: Is there SQL equivalent to CF's ListGetAt function??? Please help!

2003-06-11 Thread Bill Grover
The following function will take a list and return you a table with 1 row
for each element in the list, along with the "row number" (i.e. an identity
column that begins with 1).

I wrote this a while ago because I have several FoxPro programs that needed
to pass a comma delimited list of values into a stored procedure and use
them as a filter on a select statement.  It was too much of a pain to make
sure the list is formatted properly before passing.  This way I can just
include the function call in the select, such as:

SELECT field1, field2, field3
FROM mytable
INNER JOIN dbo.f_reuParseList(@tclist, ',')
ON mytable.keyfield = ListID

For what you want you can do something like SELECT listitem FROM
f_reuParseList(field, '|') where ListID = 5 to get the 5th item in the list.

RE: Multi Site Installation (Was: Quick note from the CF Team.... )

2003-06-03 Thread Bill Grover
I didn't see any responses so I thought I would throw my miniscule
experience in.  BTW, this was all done on Updater 2.

We went to MX from 4.01 actually without a hitch but only had the default
website defined in IIS.  Several months later decided we wanted to host
another site for some special customer access.  We added the site and
followed the instructions found in one of MM's knowledgebase articles to
edit the xml file and run the connector batch file only to have CF stop
processing all request on ALL sites.  After spending another 3 hours trying
to get it to work I threw up my hands and restored the server and got
everything working.

I ended up coming back to it about a month later when I had another weekend
I could work on it.  In the mean time I read everything I could find on how
IIS and CF link together and how ISAPI filters are configured.  It ended up
being nothing more than that the connector batch file for some reason didn't
want to configure IIS's ISAPI filters correctly.  When I manually configured
the global settings to point to the correct places everything kicked in and
started working.

So I guess my point, in a round about way, is that if you already have
multiple sites setup prior to putting MX on everything probably installs
correctly.  If you don't and want to add them later it didn't seem to work.
Since my problems Updater 3 has come out and MM did some fixes in this area
so all this may be moot now.

RE: i think im gettin hacked

2003-04-03 Thread Bill Grover
Like the others I would suspect a hardware issue.  We had one of our Dell's
start going off a week ago.  The A/C went out in our server room and caused
some major heat problems.  So we shut one of our servers down that wasn't
critical and when we powered it back up the alarm started going off.  Ended
up one of the hard drives cooked itself to death and had to be replaced.
Fortunatly it was a RAID-5 so the server would run fine and the data was
recoverable.

So I would check drives and possibly the CPU fan.  It could be that the CPU
fan is off and causing the CPU to overheat.

Just my $.02 worth.

RE: FoxPro databases: does CF use indexes?

2003-03-11 Thread Bill Grover
CF will access FoxPro efficiently, we do it all day every day.

If you submit a poorly written query it will perform poorly, but if you
write an optimized query it will fly.  For example, we have an inventory
table with an index defined as UPPER(stockno).  I had a programmer write a
query on his page for "WHERE stockno = '#form.stockno#'".  It would take
FOREVER to run.  When I looked at it and realized it wasn't using the index
and had him change it to "WHERE UPPER(stockno) = '#form.stockno#'" the
results were instant.  In fact you could take his original query straight
out of CF and execute it in FoxPro and while it was every bit as slow.

As others have said, all CF does is pass the query off to the FoxPro ODBC
driver you have installed on your server.  It's up to that driver to insure
the performance.

RE: Multiple Mail Attachments with CF 4.0

2003-01-29 Thread Bill Grover
I know it was a PITA!

We had written a COM object that interfaced with CDONTS for use in another
language.  So we took advantage of this and wrote our page to do a
 to our COM object and send the mail that way.  If you have CDONTS
on the server you are mailing from you can probably interface directly into
it.

You may be able to do it even if you have a MAPI client (like Outlook) on
the server.  With MAPI you could create a mail object and add attachments to
it then send the mail.

RE: CFLOGIN (Was: stupid newbie tricks)

2003-01-08 Thread Bill Grover
You know, I saw that timeout attribute and went right by it.  I guess I'll
play with it a bit.  Your right though it would be best if the cflogin
timedout at the same interval as your session.

On another vein, I saw your presentation at CFUN'02 in Rockville and enjoyed
it very much.  I downloaded your presentation from DevCon'02 and noticed
that you added a point to one of the slides.  What you added said
"Roles-caching Bug / Timeout Issue".  What is the bug/issue?  Thanks.

RE: CFLOGIN (Was: stupid newbie tricks)

2003-01-08 Thread Bill Grover
Thanks for the complement!

The issue I was having may have been fixed.  But what I was noticing was I
would run my page, login and everything was happy.  While working on
something else I would leave the page alone for 20-25 minutes.  Come back
and refresh the page, or go to the next page and the system would error
saying that SESSION.nUserID was undefined.  Yet if you looked at the debug
window the system still had the logon authentication cookie set so it would
not run the  tag.  That is why I added the cflogout code at the
beginning of the page.

RE: stupid newbie tricks

2003-01-08 Thread Bill Grover
Just to throw in my penny's worth, and maybe learn something new at the same
time.  I just wrote my first application using the new security.  Here's
what I did, and I must admit some of it I pulled together from Ray Camden's
presentations and the documentation.  Hopefully I don't have to many bad
practices in it!

RE: Experiences with VisualSourceSafe?

2002-12-03 Thread Bill Grover
We use both, but have not tried to "link" them.  As one of the other
responders noted we use the VSS client to do all of our check-in/check-out
work.  We have found with other languages/environments that having them do
the VSS work was always slow.

We have found that it can be an issue for us to forget to add a file to VSS.
One procedure we do that helps is when we are ready to release a project
onto our testing server we use what is in VSS.  Basically we tell VSS to
"get latest version" of all files and then point the destination to the
testing server.  Then when we run the system if any file is missing it
becomes very apparent and we can get it added.

Just my $.02

RE: Stored Proc list input

2002-11-20 Thread Bill Grover
I ran into this some time ago.  The following function will take your list
and a 1 character delimiter and return a table of the parsed results.

Originally when I did this we were on SQL7 so I do have a SP version if you
want it, but I prefer the function.

CREATE FUNCTION f_reuParseList (@tcList  VARCHAR(8000), 
  @tcDelimiter CHAR(1))

RETURNS @ParsedList TABLE (ListID   int IDENTITY, 
   ListItem varchar(8000))

AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @lcListWork varchar(8000), 
  @lnCommaPos   int, 
  @lcItem   varchar(8000)

SET @lcListWork = @tcList

WHILE LEN(@lcListWork) > 0
BEGIN
SET @lnCommaPos = CHARINDEX(@tcDelimiter, @lcListWork)
IF @lnCommaPos > 0
BEGIN
SET @lcItem = SUBSTRING(@lcListWork, 1,
@lnCommaPos - 1)
SET @lcListWork = SUBSTRING(@lcListWork, 

@lnCommaPos + 1, 

LEN(@lcListWork) - @lnCommaPos)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @lcItem = @lcListWork
SET @lcListWork = ''
END

INSERT INTO @ParsedList
VALUES (@lcItem)
END
RETURN

RE: Primary Keys & Duplicate Values

2002-10-08 Thread Bill Grover

As Andy has been saying I also would highly recommend that you create an
auto numbered primary key.  Just because this field is your primary key does
not mean that it has to be the field to link your tables together.  But
having this key makes it very easy to update a single row in your table.

In the future as you add/modify tables you can make this primary key a
foreign key in your other tables.  We have had databases designed that use
both compound keys and unique numbers.  The systems that use unique numbers
always seem to perform faster and easier.  And honestly every time we have
defined a case where a combination of fields should be unique we've ended up
with a situation where we needed to add a duplicate for some reason.

Just my humble $.02 worth.

RE: Returning columns with null values when specific columns are unknown at runtime

2002-09-19 Thread Bill Grover

I figured I'd jump in late and add my $.02 worth!  The following will return
a result set with all of the null columns values.  If you need the names you
can always retrieve that in CF (query.ColumnList).

CREATE PROCEDURE rGetNullColumns
@tnPrimaryKey   int
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @lcSQL varchar(1000)

SELECT @lcSQL = 'SELECT '
+ CASE WHEN col1 IS NULL THEN 'col1,' ELSE '' END
+ CASE WHEN col2 IS NULL THEN 'col2,' ELSE '' END
+ CASE WHEN col3 IS NULL THEN 'col3,' ELSE '' END
+ CASE WHEN col4 IS NULL THEN 'col4,' ELSE '' END
+ '0 AS DummyField '
+ 'FROM tablename WHERE primarykey = '
+ CAST(@tnPrimaryKey AS varchar)
FROM tablename
    WHERE primarykey = @tnPrimaryKey

EXEC (@lcSQL)

RE: List to stored proc

2002-09-11 Thread Bill Grover

We wrote a function that takes a list and returns 1 row for each element in
the list.  You can then use this within your select.  By making it a
function you can treat the function as a table in SQL 2000.

Our function is:

CREATE FUNCTION f_reuParseList (@tcList  VARCHAR(8000), 
  @tcDelimiter char(1))

RETURNS @ParsedList TABLE (ListID   int IDENTITY, 
   ListItem varchar(300))
AS
BEGIN

IF @tcList IS NULL
BEGIN
RETURN
END

DECLARE @lcListWork varchar(8000), 
  @lnCommaPos   int, 
  @lcItem   varchar(8000)

SET @lcListWork = @tcList

WHILE LEN(@lcListWork) > 0
BEGIN
SET @lnCommaPos = CHARINDEX(@tcDelimiter, @lcListWork)
IF @lnCommaPos > 0
BEGIN
SET @lcItem = SUBSTRING(@lcListWork, 1,
@lnCommaPos - 1)
SET @lcListWork = SUBSTRING(@lcListWork,
@lnCommaPos + 1, LEN(@lcListWork) - @lnCommaPos)
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @lcItem = @lcListWork
SET @lcListWork = ''
END

INSERT INTO @ParsedList
VALUES (@lcItem)

END

RETURN
END
GO

RE: bug tracking software.

2002-09-06 Thread Bill Grover

We use Anomaly Tracking System (ATS) from Microsoft.  It was included free
on Visual Studio 5.  The version we use is a FoxPro application but allows
you to create user defined fields and choose what to display and not
display.  Pretty simple.

I know there is a web based version that can be downloaded from Microsoft.
We looked at it some months ago and have thought about switching but what we
are using works great for us and we just haven't decided to spend the time.

RE: extra blank lines problem

2002-09-03 Thread Bill Grover

My guess is you are correct.  What happens if you leave the cfset's where
they are and just remove the cfoutput from around them?  I believe the page
should still work and you won't get the extra lines.

Just my thoughts.

RE: OT: Using JS to skip a Tab index?

2002-06-21 Thread Bill Grover

The only other thought I have would be to put some code in the onFocus
event.  But if the -1 option works it would be much cleaner.

RE: How do i pass FORM variables from one action page to another one ?

2002-05-13 Thread Bill Grover

No it won't work in v4.01.  Believe me I've tried.  Prior to v4.5 form
fields were a pseudo-structure.  The only way I've gotten anything to work
is by evauating the "form.fieldname".

RE: transact-sql datediff function

2002-05-07 Thread Bill Grover

I hate to say it but the function is working as designed.  I ran into the
same issue when looking for the number of months between dates.

>From SQL Server's Books Online: The method of counting crossed boundaries
such as minutes, seconds, and milliseconds makes the result given by
DATEDIFF consistent across all data types. The result is a signed integer
value equal to the number of datepart boundaries crossed between the first
and second date. For example, the number of weeks between Sunday, January 4,
and Sunday, January 11, is 1.

Basically what you will find is that the number of years difference between
the 2 dates is the count of how many times you go past January 1.  Each time
you pass Jan 1 it adds 1 year.

RE: Passing values between frames

2002-05-06 Thread Bill Grover

We have an app that does this all over the place.  In our case it is for our
intranet so we can insure that everyone is using IE.  Therefore we did it
with  tags.  But you can do the same thing with regular frames, you
just have another object level in the chain.

To reference the form on the parent page we do a parent.formname.submit() -
i.e. parent.DataForm.submit()

RE: Opinions/Experience with Webex?

2002-04-09 Thread Bill Grover

We use Webex and are very happy with it and we use it for demo's and
training.

Our company specializes in printing, personalization and mailing.  As such
to assist our customers we maintain an inventory of their finished goods in
our plant.  We have developed a set of web pages that allow our clients to
view what we have in inventory and request that we pull items from inventory
and ship them to any give address.

One of the primary places we use Webex is to setup a training with our
clients on this feature.  We will create a Webex meeting, bring the customer
online and go through the system showing them how to use the system and
answering any questions they have.  Our clients have loved it because it
allows us to provide solutions to them faster than if we had to travel to
their site.

Hope this helps.

Yes it still works.  When you create your DSN choose the free tables option

RE: One call for two pages?

2002-03-18 Thread Bill Grover

Though I would wade in with my $.02 worth.

I've written pages where I spew all of the HTML out and then at the very end
(after the ) I add my JavaScript.  Something like:




document.form[0].field.value = 'something'


This way the script won't run until after the whole page is created.  You
might be able to use this to create your page and then write the JavaScript
to go to the parent frame, grab the values you want and then push them into
the page where you want them displayed.

The other option I can think of is to write your server page to generate the
2 output pages and save them disk using cfhttp.  Then when you load your 2
frames have those pages cfinclude the generated pages.  I know you are in a
clustered environment so this may not be feasible, but just a thought.

Good Luck!

RE: SQL help please

2002-03-15 Thread Bill Grover

If you do that select you will end up with EXACTLY the same data as you
started with + a count column that will always be 1.

The issue is that you kind of want to group the paycatid field within
changes of the paycatid field.  Therefore you have to process each record
one at a time looking for a change and then returning the proper start and
end dates for that "range".  Therefore you have to use a cursor to process
the records one by one.

As Lon said check your Tools|Options setting.  I believe the default for the
maximum is ~250 characters and you can increase it.

RE: SQL help please

2002-03-14 Thread Bill Grover

I'm not sure you can do it with a simple select statement.  If I understand
what you want you want to look at each entry and whenever the paycatid field
changes report the first start and last end dates for that id.

You will probably need to create and run a stored procedure.  Your SP will
need to create a cursor to process the records 1 by 1 looking for the
paycatid field to change and then saving the start and end dates.

Something like this (data types may vary depending on your actual data
types).  This routine is for a single employee but can be modified to work
for multiple employees.

CREATE PROCEDURE GetCatInfoForEmp
@tnEmpIDsmallint 
AS

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @lnEmpIDsmallint,
  @lcStartDate  varchar(10), 
  @lcEndDatevarchar(10), 
  @lcCatID  varchar(2), 
  @lcLastID varchar(2), 
  @lnNumRec smallint, 
  @lcLowStart varchar(10), 
  @lcHighEndvarchar(10

DECLARE DataSet CURSOR FOR
SELECT employeeid startdate enddate paycatid
FROM sometable
WHERE employeeid = @tcEmpID
ORDER BY startdate, paycatid

CREATE TABLE #PayCatSum
(employeeid smallint, 
 startdate  varchar(10), 
 enddatevarchar(10), 
 paycatid   varchar(2), 
 entrycount smallint)

OPEN DataSet

FETCH NEXT FROM DataSet INTO @lnEmpID, @lcStartDate, @lcEndDate, @lcCatID

SET @lcLastID = @lcCatID
SET @lnNumRec = 0
SET @lcLowStart = @lcStartDate
SET @lcHighEnd = @lcEndDate

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
  BEGIN
IF @lcLastID <> @lcCatID
BEGIN
INSERT INTO #PayCatSum 
  VALUES (@lnEmpID, @lcLowStart, @lcHighEnd, @lcLastID, @lnNumRec)
SET @lnNumRec = 1
  SET @lcLastID = @lcCatID
  SET @lcLowStart = @lcStartDate
  SET @lcHighEnd = @lcEndDate
END
ELSE
BEGIN
IF @lcStartDate < @lcLowStart
  SET @lcLowStart = @lcStartDate
IF @lcEndDate > @lcHighEnd
  SET @lcHighEnd = @lcEndDate
SET @lnNumRec = @lnNumRec + 1
END
  FETCH NEXT FROM DataSet INTO @lnEmpID, @lcStartDate, @lcEndDate, @lcCatID
END

INSERT INTO #PayCatSum 
VALUES (@lnEmpID, @lcLowStart, @lcHighEnd, @lcLastID, @lnNumRec)

SELECT * FROM #PayCatSum

RE: Truncating Logs

2002-03-14 Thread Bill Grover

I picked up the following from SQL Magazine.  This code if run in the Query
Analyzer window will eventually shrink the log file.  Make sure you are in
the right database before executing the statements.  I've had to let mine
run for a minute or so, but if you monitor the logfile size eventually you
will see it shrink.  For more details I would check SQLMag's
(www.sqlmag.com) website.  They give a good explanation as to why this needs
to be done.

/* Do the following select by itself first.  
   You will need the file ID for the logfile that is
   returned for the rest of the routine
*/

SELECT fileid, name, filename 
FROM sysfiles

DBCC shrinkfile(,notruncate)
DBCC shrinkfile(,truncateonly)

CREATE TABLE t1 (char1 char(4000))
GO

DECLARE @i int
SELECT @i = 0
WHILE (1 = 1)
BEGIN 
WHILE (@i < 100)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO t1 values ('a')
SELECT @i = @i + 1
END
TRUNCATE TABLE t1
backup log  with truncate_only
END
GO

RE: CFTransactions and SQL Transactions?

2002-03-13 Thread Bill Grover

I agree.  I try to avoid putting any data logic within the CF page wherever
possible.  In the case of my application I was being unsuccessful in calling
my insert procedure with a variable number of parameters from CF.

We had a page where our customers would answer some questions and then we
would place the answers in a database.  The answers were in the form of
checkboxes.  Since they might, or might not, check the box making the CF
call using either  or  and setting the proper
parameters was causing errors to be returned.

That's why we ended up calling the insert procedure with the required fields
and then making calls to an update SP where we could pass in the field to
update and the value and the SP would update that field.

Shawn,

I don't have an answer but am anxiously awaiting one.  

I have a case where in order to get some records into our SQL database I
execute a SP to enter a blank record and then call several SP's to update
different fields in the record with values.  I need to wrap this in a
 and am just trying to gather some more information before
doing it.

RE: Stored Procedure

2002-03-08 Thread Bill Grover

2 points.  First if SP-1 calls SP-2 SP-2 can see all temporary tables
created by SP-1 BUT NOT VISA-VERSA.  So if you are going to create a 
result
set that you later want to access in the calling SP you have to "trick" 
the
SP.

The way we've done this is to create an empty table in the calling SP 
(SP-1)
with the proper structure.  Then call the SP (SP-2) passing in the 
table
name.  We code SP-2 to run in 2 modes.  If a table name is passed then 
it
creates the final result set it does it with a "INSERT INTO 
SELECT " command.  Otherwise it just does a "SELECT " command.  
This
way we can get the results passed back to the calling SP for it's use.

Secondly, you can probably do the query you've given with 1 select
statement.  I use MS SQL Server and I've done queries like this several
times. I've never worked with Oracle so all bets are off there.

SELECT GRADES.*, 
 STDNT.* 
FROM GRADES
INNER JOIN (SELECT STUDENTS.*, 
 schol.*
  FROM STUDENTS
  INNER JOIN (SELECT SchoolID, blah,blah 
  FROM school 
  WHERE SchoolID = 
#SchoolID#) schol
  ON STUDENTS.SchoolID = SCHOL.SchoolID 
  WHERE gradeID=#gradeID#) STDNT 
ON GRADES.StudentID = STDNT.StudentID

Hope this helped.

RE: whats wrong with DateFormat()

2002-03-05 Thread Bill Grover

The reason is how dates are stored.  Dates are stored as sequential 
numbers.
You are passing the sequential number 5 into the routine which 
Dateformat
thinks is something weird like 1/4/0001 or some such weird number.

You need to pass the true datetime variable.  Date format will only 
return
the day portion anyhow, you don't need to pull the day out before 
formatting
it.

RE: CF Server / IIS / SQL Server

2002-02-21 Thread Bill Grover

Unfortunately there's no "one size fits all" answer.  The books that were
suggested should help you understand how Microsoft's security works.

Your admin people probably install software using their admin accounts for
the same reason we do here.  We do not allow users rights to install
software to their computers.  There are several reasons for doing this.
First we have to support the computers.  If a user can install whatever they
want whenever they want there is no telling what system, or work related,
files they would corrupt.  Then trying to diagnose the problem becomes
impossible.  You know the first thing that they will bring in is that virus
ridden screen saver!  Also if a user installs a piece of software, even if
they use it for work, we become responsible to insure that the data is
backed up.  We do not backup local drives and configure all of our software
to save files to network drives.  If the software is not configured this way
and their computer crashes we have just lost data.  Finally there is the
whole issue of licensing.  If you bring software in how do we know you are
not violating the license of the software.  If it is critical to your job to
use the software then we will provide it, and insure the proper
licensing/number of copies are purchased.

Having said that we configured our network as follows, and I'm sure it's not
perfect but it works for us.

IIS, CF and SQL all have their own domain users.  These users are assigned
rights to access just what is needed.

On a workstation basis we avoid creating ODBC connections like the plague.
We have some where it was unavoidable, but since 99% of all database access
is to SQL Server we create connection strings in real-time based on INI
files.  This allows us to move applications between development, test and
production with out changes.  Where we do use ODBC connections is with CF.
In this case we use CF's administrator page to create the ODBC connection
and we have a single point of maintenance.

For database permissions we create specific SQL users that have access to
what is needed on the server.  In general we create a SQL user per system.
If this user needs access to a database other than the one for the system it
was created for we grant them rights into the other databases.

Also, as far as rights go, wither it is domain rights or SQL Server rights
everything is done with groups.  If a single user needs access to something
the are either added to a group that already has the right or we create a
new group and give the group the right.  We have found the following to be
true, that "if one person needs the right the 2nd person will be down
tomorrow for the same right".

Hope this helps.

RE: Accessing FoxPro database

2002-02-20 Thread Bill Grover

Unless your CF Service is running as the interactive user then CF will 
not
see any drive letters, you will need to use UNC coding.  Also, you need 
to
make sure that whatever user CF is running as has rights to the file.  
In
our case we ended up creating a special user that CF runs as that we 
can
then give rights to specific information on other servers.

So to summarize what we did was:

1)  Created a CF user for the service to run as.
2)  Granted rights to the CF User to the data that CF needed to access.
3)  Created an ODBC connection to the directory where the FoxPro tables 
are
using UNC coding.  I.E. the path would be 
\\ServerB\TheShare\pro50\ARDATA
4)  Do the following:


SELECT custno FROM arcust10


That should do it.

RE: SQL Server on a separate machine

2002-02-11 Thread Bill Grover

Sorry to hear about your problems.

What we have done is to create a specific domain admin user for CF to 
run
under.  Then we configured CF to start as this user.  Whenever CF wants 
to
access something (databases, files, sql server, anything) either 
locally or
on the network it will access the information using whatever "user" it
created the service as.  By creating this user we set it up so that 
when CF
wants to access something it has the rights to it.

Then we create our ODBC connections through the administrator page we 
tell
it to use a trusted connection.  This allows CF to verify the 
connection and
confirm that everything is running.  

However, when we write our pages that actually use the database we 
supply a
user name and password that we want.  This supplied user name and 
password
overrides anything set when we created the connection.

Hope this helps.

RE: Cold Fusion and Visual Source Safe

2002-01-30 Thread Bill Grover

We use VSS for all development.  We develop in ColdFusion, Visual 
FoxPro,
Visual Basic, SQL Server and a few more and all of it is in VSS.  In 
fact
when we write specification documents and prototype screens we store 
those
in VSS.

As far as CF development (or web development in general) we point all 
of our
working directories to our development web server and do everything 
there.
The only "rule" we have is if multiple developers are working on the 
same
project you only check out what you are working on.  The other benefit 
we
found is that we have some standard files that we use in all CF 
applications
(error trapping, common Java scripts, etc).  In this case we shared 
these
files between multiple projects so as we enhance the code all previous
projects will be updated as well.

We do everything with manual checkouts.  We have tried integrating VSS 
with
the various development packages and found that the automatic
checkin/checkout seemed to slow everything to a crawl.  We found it 
faster
to just keep a copy of VSS running and Alt-Tab to it and checkout a 
file
when we needed it.

Supposedly there is an integration between SQL Server and VSS.  I had 
one of
my developers try to get it working.  He sorta got it working but the 
way it
is implemented just didn't fit how we work very well.  You also end up
needing to install a bunch of development tools on your SQL Server.  If 
you
want more information on this let me know and I'll get the information 
on
how to do the integration.
