Hi.
Does anybody have any experiance with doin Serial comms on a NCD Thinstar 200 with a
NT Terminal Server running Thinstar Plus Version 1.0???

If so, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Cheers

Hi there...
I have written a dll to print simple reports (using tprinter) which
resides on an NT server and is supposed to be called from ASP. The dll
works fine when called from outside the web server, but when called from
ASP returns 8000 "There is no default printer currently selected".
Oh, the joys of NT desktop sessions and security. You will need to have
the dll 'run' as a specific user to install a printer driver for the user
account that is running the dll. If it's IIS 4 then your NTS setup should
let you specifiy the identity.

Great... Thanks.
Why didn't I think of that...
Install the dll as a component in a new MTS package, making the package
log on as a specific user.
It never used to be this complicated!
Thanks again.
Dave.

I guess I should take up the challenge... (OK I'm feeling combative today)
Does that imply that those of us who can produce complex applications, that
involve significant data validation and implement complex business rules,
using "original Borland components" are "childishly deficient" as well?
Hiya - has anyone here written any applications that use "plugins" and
"extensions" to extend the use of their application?
Currently I'm using dynamically loaded .dll's to provide a plugin system
for my application, only, delphi bloats .dll's quite a bit making each

Ok, I hate to say this, BUT VB 6 does do this quite nice..it has wizards
atc. for doing it..PLEASE DONT FLAME ME FOR SAYING SO.AGH !

Not too good - the demo shows that it works, and it works WELL.
Rather impressive, really. I think its www.dreamcompany.com
or something similar.

It seems a pretty common requirement to have framework/shell
applications that can work with various modules - ie an accounting
packages that support various optional bits as well as support user
customization of reports etc. Its quite suprising then that there seems
to be a lack of good tools
