Direct access to GP database.
One of our .NET client application needs to connect to the GP database using Users created from GP as a login credential. Basically, the client app will ask the user to enter userID and password and use these as credential in connection string. Since I am aware that GP stores user's password encrypted in the DB, I need to find a way to encrypt the password before creating a connection string; and not updating the user's password using Enterprise manager. Does anybody know if there are any components (probably part of GP) that can be used for this purpose? Or, any suggestio...

edit SNMP location field
I have to update the SNMP location field, under the Agent tab for 50 servers with addres information. The same information for all servers.

Thanks in advance This information can be accessed via the Registry. Are you using PowerShell v1 or v2 on the system where you'll start this process?

Upgrade Home and Student Edition
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I have a MacBook with Office 2008 Home and Student edition. Works great, except I discovered that I can't use Entourage to sync with my Exchange 2007 server at work. If I bought Office 2008 for Mac, Standard Edition, Upgrade Version, would this do the trick? I certaintly don't want to have to buy the full Office suite! Finally, would the upgrade version install on top of the Home and Student edition I have now?

Cannot edit Business Unit Name
I need to edit our Business Unit Name since our company name has changed. The Business Unit form does not allow this. There are no other business units or parent comapnies in our CRM 3.0 installation. I have an Admin role. Any advice is appreciated. The only way to do that in CRM 3 is to modify content of SQL Server table directly. It's unsupported but I know of a few instance where it's been done without any issues.

Cannot enable editing of some fields
I am working with a application that I did not create (Access 2007) I cannot seem to be able to allow editing of some fields on a subform. I changed the properties to Enabled (yes) and Locked (No); but I am still unable to edit the desired fields? What are the values in the ControlSource property for those fields?

If they are field names and those fields are autonumber fields or calculated fields in a query, they cannot be edited. -- Ken Snell http://www.accessmvp.com/KDSnel...

updating chart using edit query
Hi I import a column of date into column A which is linked to a chart. When I update the column of data the chart updates automatically. Great! Except not all columns of data I import have the same number of items. So I am forever adjusting the range the chart refers to by clicking the line on the chart and then pulling the handle on the blue box that surrounds the cells from the previous data range (eg. A1:A25, and getting the blue box to just surround the new data range (eg. A1:A20). Can I get the chart to recognise that I want it to reflect only cells with data in them (e.g. A1...

correcting wind direction data
is there an easy way using excel 2000 to correct wind direction data by 90 degrees to the left ( minus 90 degrees) we have a couple of years worth of 15min readings to correct. You might be able to use the paste special command. In an empty cell put -90 (make it the same format as the data you want to change). Then copy it, highlight the cells you want to minus 90 from, and click EDIT, and then PASTE SPECIAL. Towards the bottom of the screen you will see a plus option which you click on and then push OK (or make the cell 90 and use the minus option). If this is confusing you can watch...
