I use Kapersky Security and would highly recommend that. I've had problems with Norton in the past and would stay away from it. If you want free, I would say either AVG or Avast. I'd suggest paying for Kapersky though, even if just for the Anti-Virus/Spyware program rather than the full security suite. Hope this helps.

I would have to pick the third option "unknown". Just because he happened to be convicted of being a serial rapist doesn't necessarily mean that he is truly guilty. Even if he was guilty, people can change. Aside from all that he sounds like the most fun guy to walk across the country with, no contest really.

Hmmmm...I'd like to know what paper thats from....or tabloid for that matter. I can't see it being as bad as the article makes it seem but I guess anythings possible.

Well I like using some prefix. either 'm_' or just the '_'. With C++ for example you can use the 'this' keyword to differentiate but i find it more annoying and confusing to read code this way as I'm sure many programmers do.

From what I can gather, as it is just a small IT department I can't see there being an issue. Stored procedures shouldn't cause too many problems if you change databases as they are supported by all the major databases. It does seem unnecessary to change it but I guess either way works.

I have some code that uses a CPaintDC object to paint rectangles on the screen and then have some text painted inside. If its possible, i would like to be able to display tooltips when the mouse hovers over one of the rectangles. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I've looked at some sample code and used the MSDN Library but its not really helping me. I'd like to be able to have code change the MaxLocksPerFile setting in the registry located Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Jet/4.0/Engines/Jet 4.0. I can manually change this value but i would like to change it in the code. This needs to be increased because Microsoft Access has problems handling large amounts of data. I have an access database that has hundreds of thousands of records in it and when a user wants to update data in the database there is an error stating "File sharing lock count exceeded. Increase MaxLocksPerFile registry entry." Increasing the value significantly does fix the problem but it would be nice to change this value automatically with code when the user wants to update the database instead of having to go change the registry manually. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Algoritim in old C/CPP code that will update tables in an Access database. The database is very large and many records are affected. Unfortunately the MaxLocksPerFile Limit gets exceeded. After some research i have a bit more information. That limit can be changed in the registry. The default is 9500 locks. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get the current MaxLocksPerFile count. I would like to be able to see how the MaxLocksPerFile count changes as records are being modified. I would like to be able to get around this error without needing to change that limit if at all possible.More information is available at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q173006/ if anybody else is having a similar problem. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am having some difficulties trying to get my report to display properly. I have created a Crystal Report to show some information about a customer (Name, Address, Phone Number etc) and show all the transactions they have with the company. If the customer has at least one transaction everything displays fine. However if the customer doesn't have any transactions then no information is displayed at all. All the info is taken from an access database. I asked another developer and he said that i could try to change by joins to Left Joins. The closest option i have to that is a left outer join. When i tried that, compiled and ran the report i got "Query engine error" and it displays the reports file path. I have tried a few combinations of joins and it does nothing. The default join is an inner join. I have a C# form which allows the user to specify a range of Customer ID's or a range of Customer Last Names to report on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- modified at 10:02 Monday 20th March, 2006

I am having some difficulties getting my report to work properly. I am connected to an Access database. If i have all my links as inner joins then the report will show up but incorrectly. I asked another person about the problem and he said to change to outer left joins. I did that and i get "Query Engine Error" and it shows the path to the report. I basically need to show some information about a customer and their transactions. The problem is that when there are no transactions then no customer information shows up at all. In this case i would like to show the customer name, id, phone number etc without the transactions. The user would have to be able to specify which customers to show either by specifing a range of last names or a range of Customer ID's. Any help would be appreciated.
