  • Hello,

    I am attaching the screen print of the error message. It seems to the same as described by zmbd.

    SQL Server Agent was closed, along with all the other services, so that only MSSQLSERVER was running.

    I've looked at the 2 links, and tried the 2 suggested -m switches. The sqlcmd was accepted but I still couldn't log in. The longer one came up as an invalid command.

    I guess I'll have...

  • I can't even login to run a query.

    I stopped all the other SQL services.

    I'm the only one using the SQL Server.

  • SQL Server 2012 - Single Mode User to Restore Master Db

    I've closed all SQL Server service except the MSSQLSERVER, and have set that service to startup in single user mode by using the -m switch in the Configuration Window.

    However, when I tried to login using the "sa" account" a dialog box popped up telling me that the service was in single user mode and only one Administrator could login.

    I am the only Administrator as the server (Developer edition)is on...

  • Setting form backcolor in code leaves part of tabcontrol at default colour

    In vs2012 I have a form with a tabControl on it.

    If I set the form backcolor to some colour in the form designer the tabcontrol area to the right of the tabs takes for the form's backcolor, as expected.

    However, If I set the form's backcolor to a colour in code (e.g. in the Load Event) that area of the tabcontrol remains at the default colour, and looks a bit silly as a greyish bar. As the tabcontrol doesn't have a...

  • VB.NET - Detecting control key in form.resize event

    I am trying to detect whether or not the control key is pressed whilsr resizing a form by dragging the right side or bottom of the form with the mouse.

    The purpose is to exit the resize event if the CTRL key is pressed so that code in the event is not executed.

    I have tried form.keydown to set a boolean if the CTRL key is pressed but that doesn't work.

    I can't find a mouse event that detects a "qualifier"...

    I have a similar problem

    I am trapping most keys in the form_Keydown event, but the ENTER (numpad) and RETURN keys seem to be the only ones that aren't trapped in that event.

    Any idea why?

    Microsoft Office Automation - Deployment

    I have created a VB.NET application. A number of reports may generated from a form, and 2 of them use office automation to create reports in WORD templates.

    The reports work well, but I have 2 querie about deployment on target machines.

    1. I can't find a way for the application to check for the installation of WORD on the target machine, so that the report can exit cleanly if it is not installed.

    2. Do...

    Many thanks for your response, but you seem to be using a later version of Visual Studio.

    I am using VS 2003, and can't find a screen showing user setting as shown in your screenshot.

    You'll need to add AxMAPISession and AxMAPIMessages to your form.

    The emails are sent via Outlook.

    If you don't want to use that, I'm sure that parts of the code will provide your loop.

    strBody = "My Body"
