Re: Syntex Error, Missing Operator !!!

If scope is a string your statement should be something like

sqls = "SELECT c_number, c_description, c_scope, c_category, c_type " & _
FROM tb_c  " & _
WHERE c_scope = '" & scope & "' " & _
AND c_number IN ( SELECT c_number  " & _
                  FROM tb_c_details  " & _
                  WHERE e_id = " & eid & " )"

Also instead of using literals (concatenated values) in your statement you should use bind variables. This way you're more safe from SQL injections, datatype mismatches, syntax errors etc

[addition]
Concenring the latter error, you should use aliases in the select portion. Like:

SELECT distinct tb_c.c_number, tb_c.c_description ...

How to make auto number start from 2000 not in 1. I use MS Access 2003 database

Hi,

Have you noticed for example this article: How to programmatically create an AutoNumber field and set its "New Values" property to Random[^]. Hopefully that gives you a good starting point.

However there are very rarely reasons why setting starting point would be meaningful. Typically the value itself is meaningless as long as it's unique.

I create my database in MS Access before use it.

Yes, the article covers also database creation etc, but the point is that with a little macro you can modify the properties of your tables columns.

I don't have Access at the moment but I would guess that some macro like:

CurrentDb.TableDefs("TableNameGoesHere").Fields("FieldNameOverHere").DefaultValue = "2000"

would be worth trying.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Hi,

WhenI tried to install SQL Server 2005, it installs all the compnents except when it tries to install Database Services it was not able to start the service automatically and later it says it failed in installing Database Services, any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Did you install SQL Server 2005 SP2 since previous versions are not supported on Vista?
Also did you run the install as Administrator in order to have necessary privileges.

You could include the exact error messages in your post since that would help in locating the problem.

mika

I had this problem before and you should know that its really easy and simple to solve it
whether you are installing sql server on vista or seven you should run the installation as administrator

another suggestion: if you are the only user on this pc you may find it useful to make your default user the administrator
because lots of things on vista and seven really needs administrator previliges to wrok the right way
and if you dont have good experience and afraid of missing something just keep the User Account Control turned on
and whenever you will do something that might need a permission it will show you a confirmation message even if you are using the adminitrator account

I hope it helped Smile | :)

please let me know the difference b/w clustered and non-clustered index... in sQL server in
simple language....eventhough i searched in google im not clear abt the exact diff

and in which scenario use these indexes...(clustered and non clustered)

Re: difference b/w clustered and non-clustered index...

9-Feb-11 22:58

Basically the main difference is that both are B-tree indexes but clustered index causes the data in the table to be sorted based on the indexed columns. This is why a single table cannot have multiple clustered indexes. Nonclustered index is like an index at the end of a book. Entries are sorted and there are pointers (page numbers in book) referencing the actual place for the data.

Have a look at this: Nonclustered Index Structures

Don't you mean sorted and STORED using the clustered index, I think that is the most relevant part.

Yap, exactly. I was thinking the table as a permanent object but it's a good idea to clearly point that out. Thanks.
