What is your problem?  Getting the connection?

Can you log into your db from the GoDaddy website gui?  If so then that is
all you have to follow.

Hey Virgil,

I've never connected to a SQL Server on GoDaddy but I'm currently doing some
work against MySQL databases.  GoDaddy is very specific about the host name
that it is connecting to.  For the stuff that I'm doing I have to specify
"mysql255.secureserver.net" as the host name.  The number part (255) will
change based on how they set you up.  I imagine that there is a similar
naming convention for SQL Server.

You may want to confirm that the hosting plan that you have is for Windows
and it isn't on Linux, as well.

Don't go there. If I told you more about that job, I'd have to kill

They are *supposed* to be staggered. Supposed to look good! (Sheesh,

I didn't see a  or similar, but I assume you are kidding. Lots of  
other images show up, like the background images and other pages like  
these:

http://www.information-architecture.com/jaguar/ 
jaguar_sample_graphics.htm

It is when I add the  tags that they start disappearing, but when  
I delete the anchor tags, they don't come back.

That is supposed to be there, too. It is on all of the pages -- using  
 tags to position stuff. I thought this technique could be  
causing trouble, so I created a page without them, and got the same  
behavior.

So let's see, everybody saw the six images except Pablo on IE7.  
Hmmm, well, thats kinda good news, I guess.

Thank you so much for looking and letting me know.

RE: [NF]Cluebie for Newbie? Rack vs Tower servers?

[Jim Felton]

Ok, I admit it most of the doors are in the basement, but these two racks
are in arrow of 7, still have their doors. By the way the price if the racks
(60" or 72") is only about $50.00 more with the sides and door.  On the
other hand the filler panels for the front may break the budget.  As for
cooling we use under floor, so it is piped into the bottom of the racks and
vented out in the ceiling.  I've learned to tell the bean counter you can't
by standard racks with out doors or sides, I think they have to be special
ordered.

Hi Ken. Using IE7, I found this text in the source view:

The images are staggered but show up OK 
using FF 2.0 (portable version)

I'd have an impact printer do what an impact printer does very well.  You
are just filling in a few dashes on the form.  This isn't that tough.  Get
an OKI Data with push and not a pull feed.

[HTML] Gotta second to look at something?

[Kenneth Kixmoeller/fh]

Hey - -

This is driving me nuts.

I am redesigning my Web site. On my testing server, the 6 images on  
the table with the gold background on this page keep disappearing:

  http://www.information-architecture.com/jaguar/jaguar_web_samples.htm

Anybody take a minute or two and look at this page and see if they  
show up for you? For me, one or all of them 'hide" on FF 1.5 (Win)  
and IE6 (Win). They show up for me on Safari (2.0.4), and FF 1.5 (Mac).

What do I mean by "disappear?" They are just not there, and when you  
view the source in Win FF or IE, the  and  tags just are not  
there! Just a big gap in the HTML.

TIA,

Ken

Actually, I've been using the stickers to kind of dress-up the rusty bumpers on 
my HALmobile.  I still haven't found any as strong as duct tape (we called it 
100 MPH tape in the USAF) to keep the plastic sheets over the broken windows.

Do you know of any group with macho stickers ... like duck tape (as they say 
now)?

I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so I uninstalled all the printers and
reinstalled them and that fixed them.
Only thing I could think was that it must have got confused somehow as I've
never seen somebody run 4 at one time on one pc via USB..

He seemed to like it.
Told him I would develop something where it would automatically switch to

You guys have doors on your racks?  WOW!  You must be loaded (or were, before

side panels, etc., means you're going to need more fans, light, power.  This is 
all good for the rack manufacturer, but not so good for your budget.

But if you have the wherewithal to do it right ... doors, side panels, fans,

all about anyway ... having fun.

I am with Michael on this ... create an invisible dummy form with a timer 
control and let it do all the work.

There is another way, perhaps, and it depends on the answer to this question 
(which I do not know):  How does Windows Explorer know when to update a 
directory listing or a tree listing, etc?  Is there a specific API that 
triggers when a folder's contents change or is it simply a matter of polling?  

To me, the best solution would be one that eliminates the polling aspect and 
just idles until the mass storage manager has something to say.  But I don't 
know if there is such an API.

RE: Triplicate/duplicate forms need -- how do you handle it?

[Hal Kaplan]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a properly designed impact
form.  I know lots of people who use them on a daily basis and the
outfit I am with now owns no less than 75 of them that are used every
day.  Many of our forms are 5 part and there is no problem.

The other clincher is that OKI is making them by the bushel so there
must be a market for them.

Personally, I would like to use NCR paper on a laser but find it
extremely difficult and wasteful to bind single sets.  Does anyone know
of a neat way to do that? I have not really looked for anything lately.

Is the form designed for 8LPI or 6LPI?  (Where is your Moore Business Forms 
printer ruler?)

My guess is 6 LPI and 4.625" is very close to 4.667" and as Dr. Mandelbrodt so 
eloquently put it, the lenght of the Connecticut coastline depends on how small 
your ruler is.

Do you have a ruler that is capable of measuring the 0.042"?  Are you measuring 
a torn form?  The perfs alone can mislead.  Measure 10 forms end to end and see 
if you get 46.25"

Also, Word always rounds off your specified dimension based on the printer 
metrics of the current printer.  Make sure you have the correct OKI drivers 
installed and the printer selected when you test.

So where is the printer?

RE: Triplicate/duplicate forms need -- how do you handle it?

[Virgil Bierschwale]

You're most likely going to have to live with dot matrix, especially if it’s
a fuel jobber or heating oil supplier as they're not going to be willing to
spend 500 on a laser and 100 on a cartridge every month or two when an dot
matrix and a 20 dollar printer ribbon, plus the fact they already have their
forms suppliers set up, will do them..

I worked with a lot of fuel jobbers in the late 80's and I always
recommended:
One copy to client
One copy in client file
One copy in numerical order to aid them in verifying totals at the end of
the month and for sales tax, etc..

I ran across a guy about two months ago that had 4 inkjets hooked up via USB
ports and he was running a water company that way.

Subject: Triplicate/duplicate forms need -- how do you handle it?

(I'll post this in a separate thread of its own rather than clutter the
other thread.)

Say a client has traditionally used duplicate or triplicate forms where a
field delivery person had written the number of gallons of oil delivered to
a customer, and when finished filling the tank, the delivery person left one
copy with the customer and gave the rest to the office staff.  How do most
of you handle printing in triplicate formsdo you use the good old
fashioned pin printers or do you make it easier on yourself (avoiding the
custom form size bullsh*t) and just print 3 copies off the laser printer?  I
hardly ever have to deal with pin printers anymore but I guess they're not
necessarily a dying breed (in cases where duplicate/triplicate forms are
needed).  A simple paper spreadsheet sounds ok but won't work in the
instance that you want to give the customer a copy when you leave their
residence.

How would you approach this need/requirement?

Your comments encouraged and welcomed...thanks!

Write a small simple VFP program that utilitizes the VFP timer, and then 
turn it off while in your processing routine (when the flag condition is 
met), then turn it back on as you exit the processing routine.  What's 
wrong with that idea?  Is this one of those "if it sounds too good to be 
true, ..." kind of scenarios?

That's exactly what I believe -- this should be a friggin' quickie and 
I'd rather pay someone's reasonable billable rate rather than dick 
around with it for 2 or 3 times the amount of time!

The point that puzzles me though is still the form size in Word.  Yes, 
it truly is 4.625" in height...I measured it with a ruler.  So why won't 
Word take my word for it (pardon the pun) and stop telling me that it's

Polling App

[John Weller]

Hi Guys,

I have to write a small utility that will check for the presence of a file
or files in a particular folder every 5 minutes or so.  If any are there it
does some processing on them.  It will probably run on the server.  As I see
it there are two ways I can go:

1.  Have a program that runs every 5 minutes triggered by scheduler.  Snag
arises if the processing takes more than 5 minutes (which could possibly
happen in the future).

2.  Run the program continuously in a loop which will process the files then
go to sleep for 5 minutes (using the API Sleep function).  Question - will
this absorb much in the way of resources?  I've found the Fox to be very
fast but a resource hog.

Any comments or suggestions of a better way will be gratefully received - I
see no benefit in re-inventing the wheel if someone has already tried
something similar.

TIA

Michael, why do I get the idea you are not paying attention to what I wrote. 
Font size does not mean anything in Word.  It is the line spacing in the 
paragraph format that controls how much the form advances.  If you do not 
specify a specific amount, then you will get whatever the fontmetrics for the 
font/printer combination turns out.  You might be right and you might be wrong. 
But setting the line spacing to exactly 12 points will do the trick.

Where is the friggin printer?  I have a bunch of OKIs here but not that model.  
This should take about 45 minutes to resolve, hands-on.

They allways were a pain, but I don't have the printer nor the money to buy
one and oh yes, don't forget the paper as a box used to be about 30 bucks.

Just so you will know, you can problably use a 320 or 390.
Been awhile since I messed with them, but I believe that’s the model numbers

Seems like 390 = narrow carriage and 590 = wide carriage.

Are you sure about the form size?  Try thinking in terms of 14" divided
by 3, or 28 lines per page at 6 lines per inch.  Adjust the line spacing
in Word to exactly 12 points, then pick the font (probably 10 point).

You don't need another program to print this.  You already have too
many.  If this is the same situation you described last week, it makes
sense that you are losing 1/8" every three forms.

Remember that dot-matrix printers do not work in pages, they work in

I've been having problems establishing a connection to my sql server

In googling, I'm finding that apparently a lot of people are having that
problem.

Is anybody using sql server on godaddy with their web sites ?

Not sure what the problem is just yet and yes, I have done one or two sites

RE: More crap dealing with custom form size at client site.....and triplicate forms inquiry

[Virgil Bierschwale]

One reason you may have got an out of paper error is there is a small white
microswitch where the paper goes through.
If you try and center the small paper width stuff on the printer, it doesn’t
trip the switch and gives you an out of paper.

ALL WAYS align the paper on the left side of the printer with the notches
molded into the printer cover.

Subject: More crap dealing with custom form size at client site.and
triplicate forms inquiry

This is a follow up from last week's thread about custom print sizes in MS
Word.  Potential client has 8" wide by 4.625" high custom form that has been
a real SOB trying to get to print correctly and consistently.  
This is that client that is from a colleague of mine.  The previous vendor
for them sucked, giving them hardly any help and even less instruction, so
we'd like to get it right for them, hence the willingness to get this darn
thing working!  Here's their process: 

 - go into Quickbooks (or Quickencan't recall exactly)
 - export customers mailing address to Excel
 - go into MS Word and run mail merge document

The problem is that the freakin' Oki printer doesn't have any books with it,
and I didn't have online access at the site, and on top of that, MS Word
won't take the true dimensions of the tractor feed form.  It's truly a 8"
wide by 4.625" (4 5/8") tall form.  Yet when I put in the 4.625, it always
changes it to 4.5.  Grrr!  I was thinking of just whipping up a simple
label program in VFP and having VFP ask for the Excel file to import to do
the freakin thing.  That allows the customer to 1) avoid the current problem
with printing out of whack, and 2) simpler as he just locates the Excel file
and presses "Go" as opposed to manually doing all those steps in the Mail
Merge process in MS Word.  I was starting to do that (simple VFP program) at
client site when the stinking printer said "out of paper"...yet it was
online and had paper fed just fine!  Resetting printer and rebooting machine
didn't help either.  Ugh!  Nothing like making matters worse at the client
site.  :-p

Rather than dealing with the crap above, wouldn't VFP allow me to do this
easier with a fixed band height?

And the 2nd question on this thread-- how do most of you handle printing in
triplicate formsdo you use the good old fashioned pin printers or do you
make it easier on yourself (avoiding the custom form size
bullsh*t) and just print 3 copies off the laser printer?  I hardly ever have
to deal with pin printers anymore but I guess they're not necessarily a
dying breed (in cases where duplicate/triplicate forms are needed).

Your comments encouraged and welcomed...thanks!

Yeah, well between trimming my Chanukah bush and trimming my hair and trimming 
my budget and trying to trim my waistline, you will have to forgive me that I 
may have neglected trimming my messages too.  A man has to deal with his life 
in terms of priorities, right?

But thank you for noticing and taking the time to point it out to me so that I 
can put some effort into correcting the situation in the near future.  As you 
can see, my lack of trimming has not had a deleterious effect on my innate 
capability of assembling several words in a somewhat meaningful way to create 
what is commonly known as sentences which, in turn, become paragraphs.  It is 
my fervent hope that by producing voluminous messages consisting of copious 
nonsensical and meaningless drivel that others, taking note of this practice, 
and wishing to comment thereon, will have ample opportunity to demonstrate 
their individual abilities to trim their message responses, hopefully in a 
manner much more befitting the level of clarity and sparseness that you desire 
and so richly deserve.

OK, Ken?  O.K.!

David,

To me, this reeks (sp?) of M$ forcing it's way on you, whether you like 
it or not, and by that, I mean they're dictating the environment that 
they want for OTHER things probably, and it has NOTHING to do with this 
website.  They'll see that their agenda is met, one way (this, for

dictating the environment, then that's great, but for those who want to 
control their own machines, this is just wrong.

willingness to get this darn thing working!  Here's their process: 

 - go into Quickbooks (or Quickencan't recall exactly)
 - export customers mailing address to Excel
 - go into MS Word and run mail merge document

The problem is that the freakin' Oki printer doesn't have any books with 
it, and I didn't have online access at the site, and on top of that, MS 
Word won't take the true dimensions of the tractor feed form.  It's 
truly a 8" wide by 4.625" (4 5/8") tall form.  Yet when I put in the 
4.625, it always changes it to 4.5.  Grrr!  I was thinking of just 
whipping up a simple label program in VFP and having VFP ask for the 
Excel file to import to do the freakin thing.  That allows the customer 
to 1) avoid the current problem with printing out of whack, and 2) 
simpler as he just locates the Excel file and presses "Go" as opposed to 
manually doing all those steps in the Mail Merge process in MS Word.  I 
was starting to do that (simple VFP program) at client site when the 
stinking printer said "out of paper"...yet it was online and had paper 
fed just fine!  Resetting printer and rebooting machine didn't help 
either.  Ugh!  Nothing like making matters worse at the client site.  :-p

Rather than dealing with the crap above, wouldn't VFP allow me to do 
this easier with a fixed band height?

And the 2nd question on this thread-- how do most of you handle printing 
in triplicate formsdo you use the good old fashioned pin printers or 
do you make it easier on yourself (avoiding the custom form size 
bullsh*t) and just print 3 copies off the laser printer?  I hardly ever 
have to deal with pin printers anymore but I guess they're not 
necessarily a dying breed (in cases where duplicate/triplicate forms are 
needed).

Your comments encouraged and welcomed...thanks!

Maybe it's because the web page, testing for which browser you are using, is 
setup to make trouble for you if you are using IE.

I am by no means a Microsoft sycophant but I thought this web site is a bit 
overboard on Vista bashing.  I have no doubt that Vista will have enough 
problems without having to resort to this kind of activity.

OTOH, maybe Microsoft is behind this web site and wants to make trouble for 
itself so it can demonstrate its monopoly-averse vulnerabilities.  Like project 
Northwood.

It was relentless and I could not see any of the site until I clicked on
the bar to run it and had to do it many times before I could see the
whole site.  Isn't nice that MSFT includes it (IE7) in the Express
download security update?

[NF] You say tomayto, I say big ol' red thing

[Whil Hentzen (Pro*)]

So, there's this technology company that is involved with this Commie 
software called Ubuntu. I've given up trying to pronounce "ubuntu", and 
rely on It Which Must Be Obeyed, the television set. I refer 
specifically to the closing of some TV show, where the voice-over says, 
"Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog, Ubu."

So I call this software "Ubu" because I know how to pronounce Ubu.

But how to you say "Canonical"?

It could be "CA-non -- ick-il", like the 18th century weapon, followed 
by an 'ick', and then an 'il', like I want to ride my motorcycle.

Or it could be "ca-NON -- ick-il", sounds sort of Catholic, in a 
caTHOL-ickil way.

Or, given that Mark S. is a South African or Norwegian or Texan or 
something like that, it might be something weird, like...

CAN-o-nickel, as if you went collecting for the Salvation Army and 
everyone who walked out had bought something for $0.95 and had only that 
semi-shiny grey coin in their pocket left.

Whil
P.S. Interesting read on section II of the WSJ today; Attributor Corp. 
in the Valley has come out with software that will have scanned 10 
billion Web pages by EOM in search of illegal digital content. They say 
they can detect a copy of a fingerprinted file for one of their clients 
with just a few sentences or a few seconds of audio/video.

Since IE and FIreFox work on the laptop, the problem is not your
network configuration, is it? I'd review the settings in Opera to see
if you inadvertantly set something there.

OK I tried that.  Set default gateway as 192.168.1.1 (the router 
address) and DNS servers as 194.168.4.100 and 194.168.8.100 (which I 
found under Status - Router in the linksys admin utility).  Still

Hi Paul,

In the possibility to totally miss the point, but maybe hit the jackpot.
(lots of maybe's here...)

Can you ping to the servers' IP address in a command prompt?

You said IE and FF work, while Opera amoungst others don't..
Maybe it's a DNS problem. What if the 1st listed DNS-server in your TCP/IP
settings (or the ones set for your DHCP server) isn't available? Don't know
for sure but maybe IE and FF know to loom further for the 2nd and third DNS
but the other programs that have problems don't? Maybe switch the DNS server
order?

Found DMZ under "Applications and Gaming".  It has a setting for DMZ 
Host IP address - is this the address (192.168.1.199) that I previously 
assigned to the laptop ?

RE: [NF] Browser/Internet problem

[Dave Crozier]

Paul,
Sorry set the IP address on the laptop as static (right click "Network
Neighbourhood" Properties, then Right click on the Lan Connection (the one
you are using) and properties, then click on the TCP/IP entry and select
properties and force an IP address that is within your LAN IP Range. After
doing this you should really exclude this IP address from being allocated
from the router using DHCP but if you make the IP address at the top end of
the range for your network this doesn't matter.

On the Wireless router the DMZ setting is in the admin menu. Last Time I
looked at the Linksys it was actually called DMZ (DeMilitarised Zone) and it
allows all ports from the outside to pass directly through the router
without being blocked. On sole of the Linksys routers it is under Gaming
Options or 3rd Party application settings.

Pull the subquery out and verify that it will run as a standalone
query. I see two questionable items: "count" is a keyword, use
RecordCount or something, and the HAVING clause uses the original
count(*) which you've aliased -- try using RecordCount there as well.

RE: Quick Duplicate check ...

[John Weller]

Straight off the top of my head without testing try:

 select id from file1 where id in ;
 (select id, count(*) as idcount from file1 group by 1 having idcount > 1)

Not a good idea to use reserved words as variable names, also use variable
name in having clause not another count.

Quick Duplicate check ...

[Garry Bettle]

Howdy,

Hope you all had a good weekend.

I'm trying to do a quick reality check for duplicates:

select id from file1 where id in ;
(select id, count(*) as count from file1 group by 1 having count(*) > 1)

but the above only gives me "SQL: Subquery is invalid." error.  G.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Garry

RE: [NF] Browser/Internet problem

[Dave Crozier]

Paul,
In the router, set up the laptop with a fixed Ip Address and then make that
IP Address a DMZ so that ALL ports are allowed access directly to the Laptop
and just see if that sorts out the problem. If that works OK, then at least
you will know then that the Laptop is set up correctly and the problem is in
the Router blocking certain ports.

Dave Crozier

P.S I haven't been able to find my ContourCube V3 master disks yet which is
a real, real pain as I will be needing them in a couple of weeks but I'm
still looking. As for the FTP access, my server is down currently as I'm
porting it onto Linux over Xmas so as soon as it is up I'll drop you an
email.

Thanks for your reply Eurico.

What is puzzling me is that other programs do have internet access - so 
presumably it has nothing to do with router settings (the router being 
ignorant of the application trying to access the internet).

Also, since turning off the Windows firewall has no effect, it would not 
seem to be a firewall problem.

Similarly since FF, IE etc do not have problems it cannot (?) be due to 
something like TCP/IP setup.

I did reinstall Opera but it still will not access the 'net.  As for 
reinstalling Windows from scratch ...

Cheers
