All I knew was that say the third letter had to be a 'p' instead of a 'g'. So, I needed to actually erase the first answer. Because it wouldn't let me erase (as near as I could tell), instead, I had to put in X's for the letters I didn't know. This cluttered the puzzle, making it harder to see which words I still had to work on, and was a pain in terms of user experience. Maybe spaces would have worked, but that would still have been more effort that I wanted. None of this is a major deal. I'm just giving feedback. Thanks,- JJThu, 05 Jun 2008 08:52:57 GMTJJ Bhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxJJ, if you want to erase an answer, just click on the cell where the word starts, it will open up the clue with your prefilled (in this case, the wrong answer) and just delete and include the new answer and click OK, that should do the trick. --raviwww.dotnetvideos.netThu, 05 Jun 2008 08:47:43 GMTRavi Nangunoorihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxI have 3 more suggestions:1) make it easy for everyone who participated (ie, sent in their best guess at answers) to get the official answers. If the official method of turning in our efforts is via e-mail, then at least send an e-mail back to the participants with a link to the answers when they are posted.2) clearly state in the article up-front what date the answers will be available and then honor that date.3) do not post the answers in the article itself. That way, people in the future can still play. Instead, when the answers are available, put a link to the answers on the puzzle/article page. That way, when people are ready to check their answers, they can.Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:44:04 GMTJJ Bhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxI enjoyed doing the puzzle. I'm not a DBA per-say and so it was fun to see how many I could get on my own and how many answers I could get with additional research. I was happy at how many I could get on my own. However, even with lots of research, I still couldn't get all the answers. To keep the puzzle fun and the level of question about where it is, I would not do it too often. Maybe once a quarter or even twice a year. Just my 2 cents.Also, if I get one answer wrong and realize it after getting another answer in the puzzle, I need to be able to erase the first answer. It wasn't clear how to do that. I think the above postings tried to address that issue by saying to put in spaces, but I'm not sure I understood the above postings.That's my feedback.Thu, 05 Jun 2008 08:35:46 GMTJJ Bhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxChris, i suppose you can leave it blank,then, what is the fun? it is a brain teaser, just search online books for sql server or google to get some answers. once you do search, you remember the answer for ever and am sure you will get a feeling of accomplishment. if you do complete the puzzle you will qualify for a prize from publisher. thanks for your feedback.--ravi nangunooriwww.dotnetvideos.netThu, 05 Jun 2008 06:02:35 GMTRavi Nangunoorihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxHI All,I love this puzzle idea it's great.I have a suggestion that if you want to blank our something that you have typed in that you have to put in 10 spaces if it's a 10 letter word, can we not just leave it blank and have the word blanked out?ThanksChrisThu, 05 Jun 2008 05:40:06 GMTChristopher Stobbshttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxyou should see the answers soon, just requested tony davis about this. any other feedback on the puzzle?--ravi nangunooriwww.dotnetvideos.netThu, 05 Jun 2008 05:28:03 GMTRavi Nangunoorihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxWhere do we look for those answers?

It caught it coming and going(when i hit the Back button). It identified this one as Crossword1(1).htm.Funny thing is, I remember doing that puzzle when it came out, and there was no alarm then. It was also a heck of a lot easier.Fri, 23 May 2008 14:00:05 GMTTom Garthhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxThanks Tom. I would appreciate it, just like you said, if you could post, why it triggerred your bitdefender after further observation. btw, no body has similar experience like yours on the first crossword puzzle, i have authored here. you may want to check that too. if it triggers your bitdefender again, that will conclude being a false alarm. I used the same script to encrypt the clues in that one too.--raviFri, 23 May 2008 13:49:50 GMTRavi Nangunoorihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxRavi,BitDefender didn't actually prevent the puzzle from loading and working. As far as I can tell, it just quarantined something that was traveling along with it.I know you from other forums, and wasn't thinking you were doing anything malicious, but I felt like I had to post this.I haven't investigated it any further. I know it could be a bogus message, but I have never gotten a false alarm in the 2 years I've been using BitDefender. If I find out more, I'll post back.Fri, 23 May 2008 13:36:56 GMTTom Garthhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxthere are no viruses in the puzzle. the clues are encrypted using a script. i am not sure why your antivirus is blocking? this is the first post on something like this. i just verified again with McAfee's latest version. no issues there. sorry, could not help.--raviFri, 23 May 2008 13:28:15 GMTRavi Nangunoorihttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxWhat the???Virus Blocked Trojan.Script.2314!Fri, 23 May 2008 13:08:27 GMTTom Garthhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic502223-1161-1.aspxComments posted to this topic are about the item [B]<A HREF="/articles/crossword/63127/">SQLServerCentral Friday Crossword No 2</A>[/B]Fri, 16 May 2008 10:12:09 GMTRavi Nangunoori
