I always thought they were spiffykeeno, until I had hardware problems out of warranty and discovered that if it ain't proprietary, it don't go in there. I've never had much respect for hardware companies that bent over backwards to make sure you had to buy replacement parts (out of warranty) from them. Dunno if they still do...wouldn't surprise me. I guess I would trace my hatred of them back to the 90s, and although I think Carly Fiorina should rot in hell, it's not fair to hold her bs comments against HP/Compaq. After all, Walter Hewlett hated her too and wanted her fired (which eventually she was). My dad had a HP desktop back in the 90s iirc and it wasn't so great. But...the reviews I've been reading lately make me think that perhaps the quality has improved. ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/50a69256.5010...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

Oh...mygodit was the end of the world in Bean land. Intuit's technology sucks, but Quickbooks is also a great example of a product completely defining and controlling a software segment. THAT takes skill! Especially the controlling part for any period of time. I don't care for Quickbooks/Quicken either, but I respect what Intuit has accomplished. Peachtree Accounting Software was supposed to be very good and appease the accountants moreso (probably because of that part about closed periods).

Looks like I did that one, although I thought you did, Kevin? (Guess yours was the routine that actually created the tables whereas mine just moved the data.) The MakeUpdatable routine is Paul McNett's, also found in that same download area. If you have any troubles, just let me know.

I'm no hardware/network expert either, but I thought hubs were outdated and to be avoided; instead, use a router. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/5005e180.40...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

[NF] SQL Server constraints getting in the way of truncate table command
SQL Server 2008 R2 I'm trying to create a simple sql script to create sample data. I want to keep it lean, just simple INSERT INTOs. I attempt a TRUNCATE TABLE ahead but it balks on the constraints.
