    Not unless I've missed it to. If the value of a number is -3, it's -3, not 3 with some negative sign kept elsewhere that may...

  • RE: Excel with Stored Procedures

    To the poster who mentioned Excel 2010...please share your observations. We're about to move up to this "because it's there". :/

  • RE: SQL 2005: Error calling a sproc from my new sproc

    Good point, we have many table triggers. I'm glad the vendor took ownership of this.

    Thanks!

  • RE: SQL 2005: Error calling a sproc from my new sproc

    The software vendor supplied a fixed version of their SP, which runs from my calling SP. The moral of the story is if it runs by itself, that's no guarantee...

  • RE: SQL 2005: Error calling a sproc from my new sproc

    Thank you for your suggestion. I ran it from SSMS like this - is that what you intended me to do?

    Begin Transaction

    --exec MyCallingProcName @Param ="Whatever"

    EXEC [dbo].[MyCallingProcName]

    ABCD, --@Whse ...

  • RE: SQL 2005: Error calling a sproc from my new sproc

    Have you

    tried wrapping the insert exec itself in a transaction ?

    This is something I probably need to learn how to do! I've never used (never had to use) transactions.

    Here's...

  • RE: SQL 2005: Error calling a sproc from my new sproc

    Thank you for your interest!

  • RE: SQL 2005: Error calling a sproc from my new sproc

    It does, but I don't know if I'm legally allowed to post the code. It's part of a big system we "Purchased" but we don't "own" the code and can't...

  • RE: our job status

    I think the rules of the game are changing so fast that our current plans may be meaningless in a scenario where IT is no longer an employment opportunity. If...

  • RE: our job status

    I think these politicians are so uninformed about the details of the issues that they depend on staff to summarize the information for them. That leaves the window open for...

  • RE: our job status

    I now do a job that didn't exist when I went to school or when I first started work.

    Same here. I was a nurse aide in college,...

  • RE: Excel with Stored Procedures

    I looked in the place in Excel you suggested to find where Excel is storing connections.

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources

    There I find dsn files that I can't edit. One of...

  • RE: Excel with Stored Procedures

    Eric, I just went back and re-read that post of yours. The day you posted it, it was totally over my head. Today, I get it. So I searched my...

  • RE: Excel with Stored Procedures

    I got it working, thanks!

    Funny thing, in the previous spreadsheet that I created and blew past the place where you indicate where teh input values for the parms should...

  • RE: Excel with Stored Procedures

    Don't close the dialog, you'll still need it to indicate where the input values for the parms in your sp should come from.

    Now click the Properties button in that dialog,

    This...
