  • RE: Connecting to SQL 2005 via Crystal Reports issues

  • RE: SQL General Network Error Help

    Some earlier Gb cards didn't have the option to set Gb speed/duplex directly, you had to set it to auto-neg. Not sure if that can be fixed by an...

  • RE: Can't import DBF file

    DBF? Sounds like another product's equivalent of an MDF or MDB, which you can't import directly to the best of my knowledge - you need to have that database...

  • RE: SQL General Network Error Help

    Are your NICs set to auto-negotiate or set to a fixed speed/duplex? I've had problems with auto-negotiate in the past.

  • RE: Change Initial Size of Transaction Log

  • RE: How to send emails from a Distribution Group to another Distribution Group?

    What profiles have you configured for Database Mail? What profiles are public? What profile are you specifying in the sp call?

  • RE: Space available for database

    Sorry, don't have an answer for that one. I'm not sure if SQL Server uses the views that DBCC updates or hits the tables themselves when it comes time...

  • RE: xp_cmdshell

    What happens if you try running:

    master..xp_cmdshell 'D:\JPMorgan_IMPORT\pdfcombine.exe D:\431411406.PDF D:\431411408.PDF D:\COMBINED.PDF'
