Microsoft SQL server 2000

I connect to SQL2000 database by Visual Basic. It run well on OS 98 and 2000 but it can't run on window XP with the same configure(MDAC, Visual Basic, Service Pack Version).
The error occurs when the default database(Initial Catalog) changed as the following code:

SqlCnn as new adodb.connection
SqlCnn.open "Connection String" ' Default database is "Product"
SqlCnn.Default Database = "Customer" ' Error occurs at this line of code.

Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?
thank you very much in advance.obvious questions, but are you running .net or 6? and also, are you sure the DSN is set up properly?|||Hi!
thank you very much.
I'm running Visual Basic 6.0 (Not VB.net) and DSN is correct because my program runs well on OS 98 and 2000.
I hope you'll give me countermeasure.

Mgt Studio - Exclamation Point with a check mark?

Some of our workstations have Mgt Studio appearing with a check mark on the
exclamation point that executes a query window. Some do not.
What is the meaning of this icon?
Thanks!
Read about SET PARSEONLY. Btw, you can easily test this yourself by starting Profiler, press that
button and in the trace see what SQL is submitted. The button is meant for you to test your code for
syntax errors, without executing the SQL statements.

I know about the check mark that parses a query for errors - that's been
around since QA.
But on my Mgt Studio screen - the ! point icon has a very little hard-to-see
check mark on top of it - a workstation next to it does not have the icon
appearing like this.

|||Interesting. Did you check the build number for each SSMS?
OK, I fired up a virtual machine, which is RTM, and it didn't have the little green checkmark.
(Aaron, I do think it *is* a tiny tiny checkmark.)
SSMS build number on a machine where I *don't* have the checkmark: 9.00.1399.00. This is RTM
SSMS build number on a machine where I *don't* have the checkmark: 9.00.2047.00. This is sp1
SSMS build number on a machine where I *have* the checkmark: 9.00.3042.00. This is sp2.

MgmtStudio: Use current connection/window when opening file

Is there a setting that I am missing, or is it just not possible to do.

When I have a "QueryAnalyzer" Connection/Window open in SQL Server Management Studio, and I open a script file... it wan't to make another connection.

Is there a way that I can set it to NOT do this, and use the existing Window/Connection.

As we have to SQL Logins and thus need to type our passwords each time a new connection is made...

Also, is CTRL-N not in use anymore to open a new connection/window ?

This behavior has been changed in our next service pack (Service Pack 2). There were many Microsoft Connect items filed around this. You can check them out here: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/.

MgmtStudio: Use current connection/window when opening file

Is there a setting that I am missing, or is it just not possible to do.

When I have a "QueryAnalyzer" Connection/Window open in SQL Server Management Studio, and I open a script file... it wan't to make another connection.

Is there a way that I can set it to NOT do this, and use the existing Window/Connection.

As we have to SQL Logins and thus need to type our passwords each time a new connection is made...

Also, is CTRL-N not in use anymore to open a new connection/window ?

This behavior has been changed in our next service pack (Service Pack 2). There were many Microsoft Connect items filed around this. You can check them out here: http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/.

message output from XSLT XML Task

Where does output from <xsl:message> stylesheet elements go? It's not in the Progress or Output window, and there doesn't seem to be a property that controls the destination for messages.

I have the same question.

The ability to see the output from <xsl:message> would partially make up for the inability to set breakpoints in XSLT.

Hi Kevin,

Interestingly enough, they go to standard output, which is really only visible if you're running dtexec directly. This is the default of the underlying System.Xml.Xsl engine, which the XML Task's XSLT operation is based on.

David, as I'm sure you know, it's possible for code to capture the output ot <xsl:message/>, and to send the output whereever it likes.

Good tip on standard output, though.
