I have been working on a project that uses MS Access to get mutual fund
performance and write it to a spreadsheet in a formatted manner. The user
inputs the company name, the database looks at the company's 401k fund
holdings and extracts the performance info and benchmark info for them. It
writes out the information to a spreadsheet embedded on an Access form and
simultaneously writes the same info to Excel. I also have logic built in
that will compare the performance of the fund to its benchmarks and will
highlight the row in the spreadsheet if if fails to beat one or both of its
benchmarks on a 3-yr basis.
Now, if an existing fund is performing poorly, I'd like to give the user
the option to select alternative mutual funds from our master list of such
funds. One idea I have toyed with is to embed checkboxes on the
spreadsheet and have the user check the boxes if they'd like to see what
alternatives we can offer. I am not sure if or how that would work.
Another idea is to put a list of funds into a popup dialog box with
checkboxes in it. I'm pretty sure that is doable in Access.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What would be a good way to
approach this? Pitfalls to look out for? Just looking for a general
approach at this point. Thanks for any ideas that you have.

Another option would be a listbox. WIth a list box property sheet, you can set
MultiSelect to None (1 selection only) or simple/extended (multiple
selections). Once the funds are selected, the methods/properties to look at
include ListIndex, ItemsSelected, ListCount, Selected, ItemData, Column in
online help. Consider a listbox a bid combobox where you can make multiple
selections.

Hi guys,
I have put together a flexible client-side user agent detector (written in
js). I thought that some of you may find it useful. Code is here:
http://fotios.cc/software/ua_detect.htm
The detector requires javascript 1.0 to work. This translates to netscape
2.0 and IE 3.0 (although maybe IE 2.0 also works with it)

way to do this. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm basically trying to set it up
so that I can keep the User infor (userid, ect) in the Masterpage so that
other pages can access it. Thanks for any ideas.

I would like to use a user control as a template inside a repeater.
Some of the fields in the control should be hidden depending on whether
or not there is data. I'm still a ASP .Net newbie so the way I'm going
about doing this might be a little off. I'd appreciate some help.
Below is the code I have thus far but I'm not sure how to reference the
user control within the foreach loop.

I am trying to figure out how to pass set of credentials to System.IO
Challenge is:
App is running under one set of credentials, but via GUI user have a chance
to enter another set. I would like to be able to use supplied credentials
with System.IO versus using default credentials that app is running under.
So far I am forced to use WMI which is less convenient and slower then
System.IO, but it's providing me with "Connection Options"
