RE: Getting SQL Server onto XP Pro machine

2007-01-08 Thread Ron Williams
Hi, Bruce.

Of the four versions of SQL Server 2000 that are available, only the
personal version of SQL Server 2000 can be installed on aWinXP machine. All
other versions must be installed on a Windows server system (Win2K, Win2K3,
SBS, etc.)  Since you are doing this on your development machine, the
personal version will work just fine. I use SQL Server 2000 on my own laptop
dev machine that has WinXP Pro on it.

Best regards, ERon

Subject: Getting SQL Server onto XP Pro machine

I was attempting to install SQL Server 2000 SP3 onto my Windows XP
Professional machine, and I was informed that I could only install the
client tools and not the server itself. This sucks since this is a laptop
that I do development on, and my main SQL Server is home on my server. Has
anyone had this problem and is there a solution? Do I need to downgrade my
machine to Windows 2000?

Thanks,

RE: Tools to convert old Ami Pro v3 documents?

2005-11-09 Thread Ron Williams
If none of the conversion filters work for you and you have to hand-step it
through several processes, you might try one of the macro packages like
Automate (www.unisyn.com)

Subject: OT: Tools to convert old Ami Pro v3 documents?

Sorry for the slightly off-topic post, but I've got a client who's trying to
convert a bunch of old Ami Pro v3 documents to Word (or at least some other
modern day format.) 

Ami Pro v3 is an older Dos/Windows 3.1 application by Lotus that no longer
runs under the new operating systems. 

While Word does have an Ami Pro filter, it seems to only work with documents
that contain only text. Most of these documents contained graphics and
layouts drawn with the Ami Pro toolset. All of these documents come up
blank.

Does anyone know of a tool that will accurately convert Ami Pro documents? 

Worst case scenario is I try to get the software running on old PC and try
to get a version of Acrobat running on the box. I batch conversion tool
would make life much, much easier.

Archived files are a bit of a dirty little secret in the computer industry
that really tends to affect small business owners. I've seen some business
owners archive data as their supposed to, but then not be able to get to the
archived data years later because the software needed to read/write the data
doesn't work anymore. 

You also have to be very careful in the media you choose to backup to. Many
people think that any CD-R/CD-RW will last virtually forever, but I've seen
cheap CD-R media go bad within 2 years--to the point were the disc is
unreadable. You have to be very careful w/archived data if it's information
that crucial to your business.
