Honestly I use mine for games, some internet stuff, viewing pictures, and on occassion while driving the kids will use it to watch netflix. Beyond that wife wanted to use it for contract documents to allow he customers to sign directly into the document but after some testing with our Xoom it was too cludgey, looking at getting a stylus pen for this with the Xoom but not sure that will make a big enough improvement. I have remote desktoped to my desktop for working with it and the interface was nice with working with the windows interface but there were various issues which made it not practical. Because you really cannot switch quickly between tasks like you can in windows in general they are more effective in targeted work scenarios, so for palces like restuarants where they can change the menu and just let you look at the tablet versus printing cost you might find it better (plus the client can play games). But you have to weigh in the cost of printing versus replacing due to damage and how to protect from theft. I will say they are great additions for the paperless work environment where everyone can just bring their documents with them and presentations can be viewed inside the screen just has to be large enough. For the masses tablets are great as most people have very simplistic needs in general but right now I don't see them being effective tools everywhere even though some folks will say otherwise.

Yeah, you should by default allow SQL to handle locking. If you concern is that all processes should complete or fail look at BEGIN TRANSACTION ROLLBACK TRANSACTION COMMIT TRANSACTION

Makes you wonder what other MS Licenses may have holes in them. But did anyone figure out exactly what pieces they are barking about? Sounds like Olap/Analysis services but maybe even DTS as well.

Please post you code example. Also if you are using the .RelocateFiles proterty of the SQLRestore method are you putting [] around the path data as required. Keep in mind this is a multipart string and requires the []'s. Is this by chance joecre from the CodeGuru boards?
