  • RE: Calculating Work Days

    Sorry Shie, but country is really not an issue.  In dealing with companies, their holidays are different between them even when they are in the same country.  If you want...

  • RE: Migrating Data from Access to SQL Server - Proper Data Type?

    Once you change it to a float, you will need to load the data from Access again.

  • RE: Calculating Work Days

    Actually, if you are willing to use a "Date Table," make it a date dimension table.  Do all of the date calculations that can be done to a date ahead...

  • RE: Importing/Pasting text into Excel retaining Carriage Returns

    Carriage Return CHAR(13) is actually a hold over from the old line printers.  In order to get a carriage return and a line feed, it takes 2 characters CHAR(13) +...

  • RE: Generating Unique ID on Server

    Another clean way of doing it would be to use a Base-36 number (zero to Z).  Use a function to create it and default the value of the column to the function.

  • RE: Upgrading SQL Server

    I was making an assumption that they did not install the MSDE on a server or that they ended up buying a server to put SQL Server on.

    In SQL Server, it is only "bi_logical" (Yes/no, 0/1).  Access allows a "tri_logic", yes, no, null or -1, 0, null.  By cleaning out the nuls, you have the bi-logic working...

    Unless you are using international character sets, keep it to varchar, text and char.  Leave the N off of them.  I have linked properly to tables the the N based...

  • RE: many to many dimensional modeling

    If you have a many-to-many, then your design is wrong.  Follow Kimball's design and you will not have a problem with the cube.

  • RE: Access Project and SQL Express

    The current versions of Access will not work with the BETA versions of SQL server.  So the answer is, it is impossible to setup as an Access Project.

  • RE: Address table

    Generally, I do also.  But, there is an argument that is valid for keeping it simple with code tables.  The main argument for doing it with dumb primary keys falls...

  • RE: Access ADP

    An ADP is not for adhoc queries.  And, I stand by my assertion that no one should ever have direct access to the tables, period.
