All of which is EVALUATION software, which is good for a couple of months, and then must either be PAID for, or deleted from your system. Sorry to burst your bubble... SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is free to use, free to develop, and free to redistribute.

If I need to buy two books, fine. Have you seen Oreilly's Safari Bookshelf? You get access to the text of thousands of computer books. For individuals it's $15 to $20 a month and you can have 10 books in your bookshelf at any time. The only downside is that if you add a book to your bookshelf,

I was going to stay out of this one... But MTBF is drive dependent. WD Raptors (a 10,000 RPM, 4.5ms seek time enterprise drive not really meant for the desktop but often used there) is rated at 1.2M hours, pretty much in line with all of the SCSI drives. Seagate Cheetahs, the self proclaimed

This is a good point! It's also true if you restore a previous backup say from tape, to an alternate location then put a VOC pointer to it so you can see what the file looked like back when... If you do anything with the old copy of the file, it can mess up your current file's indexes. It's one of

While you're at it, move the DIM to a file to be included in all the programs that use it. Then when you need to change it again in the future, it's in 1 place. Also create a compile list program that includes all of the programs that use it as well. After you change the include file to resize the

Watch Out!!! If your program changes the last dimensioned field, you will lose the extra data!!! IIRC, the extra fields are being appended to the last dimensioned element. If you change that element, the extra fields can disappear. You'd have to do something like: MYARRAY(5)1 = newvalue And not

There are other rules to being a valid email address IIRC. I remember doing some of this in the past, and it can get complicated. For example a single period is valid, but 2 periods in a row is not. Also period dash .- and dash period -. isn't valid either. Back then for the host/domain portion

At my last job, we often had to talk to laboratory instruments (bi-directional interfaces) that primarily serial based. We'd use single port Lantronix device servers (MSS-100 or UDS-100) which are basically single port terminal servers. On the host end we had a socket program that could talk to

Hi, Me again... Another thought occurred to me. You were saying this wasn't getting used all that often anymore. I take it this is just more or less for reference from time to time. Would it be feasible to move the data to a PC? You'd have limited access to it. I know you mentioned they weren't

Apparently I didn't get my point across as intended... BUT (and a big hairy one at that)... the OP has already stated: Our plan is to convert the data into a mainstream DBMS, e.g. SQL Server, DB2, etc. Sounds to me like they've already made up their minds to convert away from UV. So where
