    OMG, you really have to be kidding here...

    As a complete and totally unrelated aside: -

    There's a character called Trigger in the BBC comedy Only Fools 'n' Horses http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/onlyfools/uncovered/trigger.shtml

    Why 'Trigger' - I always thought it was because he was sooo intellectually quick witted.

    Trigger was Roy Rogers' horse, that was my first thought on seeing the title of the show.

    According to Wikipedia, the character in Only Fools 'n' Horses was named Trigger because he apparently looked like a horse. Can't judge that one as I haven't seen the show, but that's what Wikipedia says (and we ALL know that Wikipedia is NEVER wrong... most of the time...)

    Just put "Only Fools And Horses Trigger" into YouTube - there are loads of examples of his intellectual prowess.

    I've been watching a few while waiting for SharePoint Designer to respond

    And apparantly he was called Trigger because he looked like a horse.

    That is an impressive number of views. I always felt that The Thread is a large part of what makes SSC seem more like a community, rather than just a forum. I know I have profited by being able to learn from all of you in the past year or so, but I also feel as if I have joined something good here.

    Does anyone else see it that way?

    YES, YES, YES

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

    Sorry Alvin, I'm serious right now. I need to sync a login so we can do some work.

    But, you know what, that is funny! :w00t:

  • sp_change_users_login 'Report'

    rings a bell, from memory.

  • sp_change_users_login (deprecated) or ALTER USER

    Aaargh! that proc!!! - I can never ever remember its name - luckily Matt (sat next to me) did 🙂

    There's gonna be a queue behind you on this one, Paul. Wait a minute..."W"...you're gonna be somewhere near the end.

    Chris, the best index is a descending index IMO 😎

    Anyone (preferably someone who's telepathic or precog) want to tackle these?

    Outstanding. Just totally awesome in its awesomeness.

    How could I resist? 😉

  • Don't forget sp_help_revlogin - if you need to create the logins on a new server.

    Thank you. Also, Gail, just saw your post as well. I'll have to research that one more so I know more about it.

    Again, Thank you. The Thread works wonders! Need to keep that one to ourselfs, though.

  • Okay! Any one in Germany near Frankfurt? Maybe has a teen age (around 18 year old) son or daughter (preferably)?

    And yes I am serious. I have a teenage daughter who paid for her own trip to Germany and is currently not having a very good time like she had hoped.

  • Okay, Now that I have caught up on all the posts. I have to agree, this thread has added a lot to SSC.

    Truely a place we can go and talk about anything, and even learn something new once in awhile.

    And, it does serve as a place to seek additional help for others when we find ourselves at the end of our own knowledge.
