Rerporting from Express?

Hello,

I have just installed VB Express and was toying with upgrading a project
from VB 2003. Reports designed in Crystal seem to port fine enough,
however, I am unable to open the reports for editing. I searched the docs
for registering the custom tool so that I may continue editing, to no avail.
I realize that the express edition is not as full featured as the other
versions, part of my plan to sell the purchase was to demonstrate an
upgrade.

Anyone have any ideas?

The Express Editions do not support Crystal Reports. My guess is that you
are ok running converted apps as they still target your previous install of
Crystal but you won't see any support within the IDE.

I have 2 SQL Server Express questions: 1) Can you manage a SQL Server Express installation from the regular SQL Server Enterprise Manager? I am getting a message that says "SQL Server does not exist or access is denied" when I try to register the SQL Server Express instance via Enterprise Manager. If this is possible, what kind of things should I be looking for to make this work?

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsse/html/sseoverview.asp SQL Server Express was developed with two distinct uses in mind. The first is as a server product, especially as a Web server or a database server. The second is as a local client data store where the application data access does not depend on the network. Ease of use and simplicity are key design goals.

Should it be able to? I know it's express edition, and therefore limited functionality, but surely resources are quite fundamental? Also, once it's downloaded, is there any way of getting access to the fully downloaded file incase you want to...

My main dev machine has WinXp and VS2005 (pro). 1. I need to install VWD Express Edition so that I can do some instruction on this. Any issues with both on the same machine. Installation order? 2. Does VWD Express Edition support the idea of Solutions? I coun't figure out how to create a blank solution which I usually do with VS2005 (and then add my web site to the solution.)

Ok I have been slowely - and ever so slowely teaching myself VB.net Currently I have created an MDB file by code, and added fields to the MDB file by code. I like this solution because, ( im assuming ) if I create an EXE and I load an MDB file, I can see if certain fields are there, and if not add them. Kinda like an Update that is imbeded into the EXE, so you dont always have to create an Install shield.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
