THIS is why I hate ASP and Access...

Problem: Test script using test copy of calendar database throws error that indicates problem is probably that database permissions are wrongly set.

Solution (after many hours of beating head against the wall): delete test database, replace with fresh copy of test database set to exact same permissions as original test database.

Gah.

Hi! I'm the Windows Registry! I don't give a flying fuck what you do; I'm keeping this key entry!

;)

Trying to learn ASP, Access *and* Windows networking all at once is AAAAAAARRRGGGHHH! I'm used to, y'know, logic.

And once I figure out how to make things work in Access, I get to learn SQL Server because they want to port the calendar over to that.

*clings to linux and mysql*

Yes, I know, mysql has limitations. but you CAN make it do what you want without jumping through hoops.

I used to teach Access etc. I absolutely hated having to say to students "you know, I don't know exactly WHY it did that." Usually, the true answer would be "Because MS is a big fat piece of crap." *sigh*

Yupyup. And of COURSE the library is run with a bunch of ASP scripts. :) And after learning ASP and SQL server...next step: learn Perl!

Saturday, when do you want the Bruce and I to show up this Saturday?

Mmm... Perl.

After you learn Perl, learn about the DBI (no link, it's easily Googlable). The DBI will completely replace all those nasty, ugly VBScript ODBC/ADO/DSN calls and make your programming simple and fun.

Well, my Saturday schedule is that my new mattress is being delivered between 12 and 3, and some friends are having a housewarming party that evening that I don't want to miss (although I can show up fashionably late and make a token appearance). So ... earlier is better. :)

I'll take you guys out to dinner for helping out -- I just want to be able to hit my friends' party by 9PM or so, so beign able to more-or-less finish everythign up by earlye vening is good. :)

Not that any of that prattle has helped set a time. 11 AM good for you guys?
