Jerry, correct, you are right. So just donot pack() and you are able to make your transaction reversible. Pack() and Zap() are for development only, they should not be used in production. To pack a temporary table ( cursor ) is completely overkill, just create a new cursor with the same name

Another way is to reuse the deleted records. In few words : to delete a record, I transform the (integer) key value to the negative one (mykey = -ABS(mykey)). When I have a record to add, I lookfor the first record with a negative key. If FOUND() I replace the data and the key with the new

W2K3 - Serving web-services without soap toolkit?

For years I've convinced that MSSoap Toolkit was indispensable on the server side for answering Soap requests, and lately I've been searching on the web about how to keep using existent web-services without it, replacing it with something else. Today I've uninstalled the soap toolkit from a

Yes, the NSA compiles it. I guess they just check it's properly coded and then compile it so that you may have better security. On 05/06/15 11:43, Alan Bourke wrote: All cryptographic code goes as source code to NSA and is returned as object code to be used by windows Does it? Source?

We just found out, in shipping out an update to one of our vertical apps, that 1024x768 is still too large for some, with old square 4x3 aspect ratios and poor eyesight. As long as human eyes are human eyes, that is never going to change either. Nor are people over 40 ever going to be able

What will you lose? The ability to interact with a SAMBA 3 Domain. That's gonna cost me. Although, MS swore up and down that they wouldn't allow it in Windows 7 either, and then customers complained in batchloads, so they added some registry hacks, and it works...also in Win 8.x and

I'm testing this, and found that when you configure COM+ to use Soap (I've using this article: http://www.kehm.de/henrik/blog/files/a5019da836d29c3cee972f5f62b5a8bd-19.html), then every time I replace the component on COM+ console (test_service.dll), a new dll is generated on a .net framework

Verifiable? LOL An MCP in the encryption area told me personally some 15 years ago (this is not hearsay), he had to send his source code and received executable code. He is top notch, I won't reveal his name. As for verifiable or legitimate you may believe my word or not, don't really care.

Ken, Just to be clear, are you saying Win10 won't connect to a Samba 3 server? Or is Win10-connectivity only a problem when a Samba 3 server is providing AD services? I've got MANY Linux boxes providing simple share of data files... If Win10 won't talk to them, that's huge for me. Thanks
