  - Money >> Money 2005 reports wrong after setting up new categoryI have several years of my checking account recorded in Money 2005. In
    generating a 2007 annual report, I decided to create a new expense category.
    Only the entry that included the new sub-category setup showed up in the
    report by category. Several other entries were changed to this sub-category
    in the same session. These entries no do not show up in the new sub-category
    in the report by category, but they do in the Account Register. How do I fix
    this? My copy of Money 2005 incudes the latest updates.
    Don't know if this is pertinent -- In Aug my computer crashed. After the
    computer was replaced, I reinstalled Money 2005 and my lost file from
    Microsoft on line. Some info was missing, such as which entries had been
    reconciled with the bank, and the current balance in the account was
    incorrect. This error was fixed by a corrective entry. The expense category
    of all entries seemed to be intact. My report covers a period both before
    and after the crash.
    After multiple efforts a few years ago to update my email address with
    Windows LiveID, nothing worked, hence Windows LiveID still carries an
    obsolete email address. Please find my correct email address before the
    .(donotspam)

  - SVCS >> Object reference not set to an instance of an objectI've created a Report with parameters. When a complete these and execute the
    report I'm having this message:
    
    "An error has occurred during report processing.
    Query execution failed for data set 'Disponibilidad'.
    Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
    
    It a simple query. Nothing complicated.
    If I replace the paramaters with fixed data it works fine. Could be a
    problem with Oracle? The DB is an Oracle 8 and I have installed the Oracle 9
    driver.

  - SBS >> Tape drive recommendationHi
    
    We have run out of our 20GB DDS drive and are looking for a tape drive with
    capacity to last for at least a couple of years. I am contemplating this
    external DLT drive;
    
    http://dellware.euro.dell.com/dellstore/dellware/config/default.asp?s=ukbsd&l=en&m=gbp&c=UK5776&n=&cu=ukbsd&v=d&cc=&ogn=&kcd=&ad=&mc=&rs=&cuid=&cg=&pch=1&pn=0&demo=&gc=&sbc=none&co=&b=DUK_440-10349
    
    This way we don't have to get rid of the internal dds drive to read from the
    existing tapes. Here are the questions;
    
    - Is the above DLT drive any good quality & reliability wise?
    
    - What is the capacity of this drive. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
    
    - Would it being external have any impact on its compatibility with the
    sbs2003 backup?
    
    Thanks

  - Crm >> CRM 3.0 Synchronization with Exchange / Outlook ContactsWe have a database of over 9,000 customer contacts and one of the key
    reasons that we decided to work with MS CRM 3.0 instead of another product
    was based on the assumption that we'd be able to leverage the significant
    investment we have in our Exchange database - we thought that the Exchange
    router would do the trick of synchronizing the contacts between Exchange pub
    folders and the CRM database, but it suprisingly doesn't.
    
    This seems like a very basic concept that the product would support and I'm
    hoping that I'm simply overlooking something in the documentation. However,
    the only documentation that I can find indicates that we have to export all
    the Exchange contacts to a CSV/TXT and then import them. Isn't there any
    way to synchronize the contacts between Exchange and CRM so that our users
    can send email/faxes from either Exchange or CRM?
    
    Ideally, we'd like to import the contacts into CRM once, and then have the
    program synch up any changes/additions that are made in either the CRM
    contacts, or the Exchange pub folder contacts on an ongoing basis going
    forward.
    
    Does anyone know of any documentation that exists that covers data synch
    between Exchange and CRM in more detail? Documentation for this product is
    pretty bad from what I have seen so far. The Implementation Guide that
    comes with CRM just mentions concepts without any detail about how to
    actually implement most of them, and is sorely lacking any detailed content.
    There isn't much in the way of thourough documentation on this (shipping)
    product that is availalable. We really expected that this Microsoft product
    would be tightly integrated with Microsoft's own email server and I'm hoping
    that someone out there can help fill in the gaps.
    
    Thank you so much!

    A Kid Released Worm That Attacked Microsoft Web Site
    A second person, a juvenile, has been sentenced
    in connection with the release of a computer worm
    in August 2003 that attacked the same vulnerability
    in computer software as the Blaster worm did.
    The worm -- often referred to as the RPCSDBOT
    worm -- directed infected computers to log in on
    a computer (i.e., an Internet Relay Chat channel)
    that the juvenile controlled. On August 14, 2003,
    the juvenile directed the infected computers to
    launch a distributed denial of service attack
    against Microsoft's main web site causing the
    site to shutdown and thus became inaccessible
    to the public for approximately four hours.
    The juvenile was 14 years old when the activity
    occurred.

    Hacker helps business school applicants get early decision
    A computer hacker gained access to internal
    admissions records at Harvard, Stanford and other
    top business schools, then helped applicants log
    on and learn their fate weeks ahead of schedule,
    officials said Thursday. Few of the people who
    followed the hacker's directions managed to find
    out if their applications have been accepted,
    according to school officials. But many of
    them could end up getting rejected now that
    the schools are checking to see who tried
    to exploit the security breach.

    Internal Threats To Security Are Increasing

    are watching employers with increasing unease on

  - Crm >> Workflow Emails Sent to Titles not UsersI need to set up emails from a workflow that send to groups based on their
    titles not user names or owner manager, etc.
    
    i.e. I want to send an opportunity won email to "sales manager", "vp of
    operations", etc.
    These titles can reside in Active directory or the CRM system user base
    table but how can I tell the email template/workflow to send to users based
    on titles only. The thought being that if a user quits and a new person
    assumes this title/position he/she will start getting these emails with no
    change to the workflow needed. This can be done in Salesforce.com and of
    course a client we have who switched from it wants the same thing. Sure makes
    sense to me.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks in advance.

We have even had a user get locked out that does not have

Do we have a trojan causing this?

SBS >> Users getting locked out Hi Mark,

it can be any number of things. E.g. old password used to map network
shares, trojan etc.

You can try and use this Microsoft tool (free download) to pinpoint the
service that is causing the problem.

Account Lockout and Management Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7AF2E69C-91F3-4E63-8629-B999ADDE0B9E&displaylang=en

Check out documentation first (specially part about not installing this tool
on Exchange if you have it).

I hope this helps,

Mike

  - Compact >> What to use for developing apps for XDA / MDAI'm rather confused on what developers are able to use for developing
    applications running on mobile phones like the XDA or MDA where
    Windows Mobile 2003 is the operating system.
    
    Furthermore, what is the exact name of the operating system running on
    these types of phones. I see people referring to it simply as "Windows
    Mobile 2003" while others refer to it as "Windows Mobile 2003 Phone
    Edition", and then I have even seen "Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition".
    Are these all referring to the same thing?
    
    There is currently no documentation on Microsoft's website that
    explicitly indicates what development tools are used for this
    combination of operating system and type of phone. When I visit
    Microsoft's website, they have an SDK for the SmartPhone. But from
    reviewing documentation, an XDA or MDA is not considered a SmartPhone.
    A SmartPhone has a keypad whereas the XDA and MDA use touch screens.
    My logical guess was that this SDK is the development tool to use. But
    after downloading and installing the SDK, the documentation states:
    
    "User interaction with Smartphone is through the keypad; there is no
    touch screen."
    
    But that is exactly what these phones have. They only have touch
    screens. So is that to imply that this is the wrong tool?
    
    Can someone please clarify what tools are used to develop applications
    for an XDA or MDA using Visual Studio.NET. I would like to develop
    applications using C#.
    
    Thank you for your help,

  - SBS >> Help - OWA Will Not WorkOK, I've tried finding help but I am really stuck now. I have installed my
    new sbs2003 server and all seems well with the exception of OWA. I can get
    to the site (www.mydomain.com\exchange) and am prompted by OWA for user name
    and password but NOTHING I try will work. I get the message
    
    "You could not be logged on to Outlook Web Access. Ensure that your user
    name and password are correct, and then try again."
    
    1. I looked at the accounts to make sure they are OWA enabled, they are.
    2. I've tried this with several accounts but no success
    3. I reran the Internet Connection Wizard again to make sure I configured
    everything correctly.
    4. I even tried this from inside the firewall thinking it may be a port
    issue but to no avail.
    5. I have 1 nic in the server with a router routing port 443 for my ssl
    
    I am thinking this is a security issue on the server with the accounts.
    
    What can I look for to help me diagnose the problem? What do I do because I
    am stuck? Can I just reinstall the Exchange portion of SBS2003 if need be?
    
    Thanks everyone.... I'm pulling my hair out now!!

  - SVCS >> Scope problem with SUM on group footerHi,
    
    I have a table report with 2 groups, like this:
    
    group_1 header - Vendor
    group_2 header - Customer
    details - Invoices
    group_2 footer - Total customer invoices
    group_1 footer - Total vendor

    present on all "group_2" footers
    
    I've tried with:
    
    Sum(txCustomerTotal.Value, "group_2")
    
    bu I've got the error:
    
    The value expression for the textbox 'textbox52' has a scope parameter that
    is not
    valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a
    string constant
    that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a
    containing data
    region, or the name of a data set.
    
    Anyone can give me some idea or workaraound???
    
    Thanks.

  - Messanger >> Hello I have a problemand I hope you can help me with it.
    I have MSN Messenger5.0, and windows 98.
    Before you'll suggest me I'll say that I can't upgrade my
    Messenger because the new versions are disconnecting me
    from the internet while I use them, because of the Router
    I suppose.
    Anyway, not long ago my computer was sent to a technician
    (before that the messenger had been working fine), and
    because of viruses and other problems he had to format
    drive C:\.
    I got back my computer, and in the same time we connected
    to 1.5 Mb speed ADSL. I installed messenger 5.0 again and
    it was workinf OK. Because I thought our router's
    definition were changed I tried to install Messenger 6.2
    but it still did problems. I had rmoved it, and installed
    messenger 5.0 again. I don't remember if it worked OK for
    one time but since then it didn't connect. The messenger
    says there is a problem in the sing-up name, or the
    password, or the service, but all are correct and working.
    I ried couple of sing-up names...
    I don't have a firewall (but I do have an AVG anti-virus),
    and in the other copmuters in my home net the messenger is
    working fine (messenger 5.0 of course).
    What should I do????
    Thank you very much,
    Shaked.

  - Compact >> Application runtime memory usageHi,
    
    I would like to ask if its reasonable for a .net cf 2.0 application to take
    up about 4 MB of memory, assuming that this is the only .net application
    running on the device.
    
    The usage in the app is as follows:
    
    about 4 component classes, 4 datasets, 10 datatables 3 forms with some
    little controls, an xmlDocument containging and processed about 1.17 kb.
    
    I understand that this is a real though question to ask as its hard to give
    an answer without seeing the actuall code and what it does, however what I'm
    after is to hear from other developers that have some similer setups what
    thier run memory usage is.
    
    Thanks in advance
    Best Regards,

  - Compact >> How to set imput mode for a Smartphone UserControl?Hi
    
    I have a Smartphone UserControl (CF 2.0) that accepts keyboard input.
    However on the T-Mobile Dash (XDA Cosmo, HTC Excalibur 100) the keys
    W,E,R,S,D,F,X,C and V act like a number pad whereas pressing the other keys
    return the letter. Ie. Pressing Q returns Keys.Q but pressing E returns
    Keys.D2 instead of Keys.E. Is there a way to prevent this?
    
    I tried to use SendMessage with EM_SETINPUTMODE but it does not seem to work.
    
    I performed a test on the Motorola Q emulator and it does not have the same
    problem.
    
    Thanks

  - Compact >> Improving datagrid...In our last project (first one in .net ce, to be honest), we used datagrid (I assume as pretty much everyone else, being such as basic component). There are a couple of things we did in code, even though it seems impossible they aren't there yet... in any case, I didn't put them inside a derived component because we used vb.net and it isn't possible to write (designer compatible) component with that. Anyway, I have some time in my hands now so I'm going to do it in C#. Before I reinvent the wheel, I want to ask, though.
    Our datagrids needed (and we did it with some code):
    
    - To quickly unselect all selected rows (meaning that just doing unselect() in each of them is no good)
    - To link one of the columns to a textbox, so if the user types anything in the textbox the row with that text in a given column is selected - suppose we have a grid with a product code and a description, we want users to be able to lookup the product but also type the code directly if they know it.
    - When a row is selected, it should be made visible if it's out of the viewable area. What we did, but I can't believe there's a better way, is get to the scroll bars through reflection.
    
    As you can see, they are very basic things, so I'm wondering if someone else has a component that does this already so I save my time.

  - Compact >> Word Object ModelHi everyone,
    
    I wonder if there is an Object Model for Word in WM 2005
    
    If not, can one create text files then change the file extension name so the

  - SVCS >> Install Problems with Report ServerI want to install Reporting Services to find out about how it works, but I'm
    having problems.
    
    I tried to install it on my Windows XP workstation to run with MSDE but got
    the message:
    
    "This edition of the Report Server Database is not supported on the edition
    of SQL Server 2000 you have chosen. Please choose another SQL Server that
    matches the requirements."
    
    I therefore specified the name of one of our test servers running SQL Server
    2000 and was able to proceed.
    
    When I got to the screen that specified the "Server Farm" it asked for the
    name of an existing install of Reporting Services. Since I don't already
    have an existing install I left it empty, but was told I was unable to
    proceed with the install unless I enter a value. I therefore named the
    server I just was installing to.
    
    When the install finished I got a message saying it wasn't possible to
    initialise the report server and this would have to be done manually.
    
    I tried connecting to the ReportServer web site but got the message:
    
    The report server installation is not initialized. Check the documentation
    for more information. (rsReportServerNotActivated) Get Online
    Help -2147159550
    
    I followed the instructions for manually activating the report server using
    the reactivate utiltity, but when I tried to activate the server I got the
    message:
    
    "Failure obtaining information from remote WMI provider: Unable to find
    Reporting Services WMI namespace on 192.111.1.224. Reporting Services may
    not be installed."
    
    How can I get Reporting Services running?

  - Crm >> Search engine - quick findI am looking for an explanation on how the quick find is set and if it is
    possible to make modifications on the search.
    
    Here is my issue: In contacts entity, when I use the quick find, I can
    search for parts of the name. So if I am looking for John Smith, I can
    search for "smi" and my contact will show up in the list.
    
    If I do the same in accounts, my accounts do not show. So if John Smith is
    in my accounts, in order for him to show, I have to search for "*smi" instead
    of "smi"
    
    Why the difference? Can I adjust CRM in order to have the same search
    functionality throughout the software?

  - Messanger >> Firewall Settings Preventing Me Logging Into WML8Hi, I recently downloaded the latest Windows messenger, but it wonâ??t let me
    log in. It takes an age for the two green men to finally come to a conclusion
    as to whether to let me in or not, and eventually they say 'You are behind a
    firewall preventing you logging into messenger at this time'.
    
    The only firewall i have is Windows Firewall, and I have made an exception
    to this, allowing WML8 to access the net.
    
    I can sign into Web Messenger and WML8(on other computers)...any ideas?
