Re: [newbie] Open Source databases?

Could you elaborate on some open source databases? I'm looking for something to replace Access. Something to work as a ODBC client and a single file data storage with ODBC connectivity for ODBC attached websites. Thanks! On Thu, 2002-06-20 at 23:05, robin wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try

How do I get MySQL to act as a Microsoft SQL Server client so I can edit records? That would be perfect now that I have unixodbc working (kinda). On Fri, 2002-06-21 at 17:07, Manuel Soto wrote: Did you try MySql On Fri, 2002-06-21 at 09:11, Joshua James wrote: Could you elaborate on some

[newbie] Startup applications, icons, window positioning, and fileassociations - Need some HOWTO

2002-06-14 Per discussione Joshua James
I'm wondering if anyone can give me some information regarding the following items: 1. How to make a program automatically startup with login, how to start minimized would be nice too. 2. How to change icons correctly. I have put programs in my taskbar but I think I've assigned the icons

Re: [newbie] linux, intuitive?

2002-06-14 Per discussione Joshua James
I'd have to argue on the point of intuitive. I just spent 2 minutes trying to paste text from one email to another. It showed in my little clip board in the bottom right but I couldn't paste it using CTRL+V or the paste command in the edit menu. I could however paste it in KEdit. Weird.

At least if you switch to OpenOffice you'll save a ton of money on licensing. Users will also find something familiar when you switch them to linux down the road. I'm in the same place as you. I really do like Win2k/XP but I'm trying to switch to Mandrake. That way down the road I'll have enough

[newbie] MCSE and rebooting for IP changes

2002-06-13 Per discussione Joshua James
Hey, you don't have to reboot to change IPs anymore. grin I wish more of this M$ bashing energy was put into making linux a more viable solution. Here you have a MCSE (started with MS networking when I was 23) who is completely willing to switch to linux. I earned my MCSE to battle the you're a

[newbie] CUPS and HP 2100 over JetDirect

2002-06-12 Per discussione Joshua James
I installed CUPS from my Mandrake v8.2 discs. When I try to install my HP 2100 and print a test page the yellow light on the printer comes on, goes off, and nothing prints. I attempted to install directly to the JetDirect by IP address and selected the HP 2100 from the pull-down lists for

I have since been able to make it work better. I have tried both samba and lpd as well. I am not using the lpd and set the printer to http://x.x.x.x/printername and it printed to the Win2k server. I also had to change the print drive to HP LaserJet series or something simpler than the 2100

Where are all these companies paying big bucks for MCSE certification? I can't find them and I could install Win2k before I started studying. I gave up and now I'm learning linux. On Wed, 2002-06-12 at 15:31, civileme wrote: shane wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On
