Newbie Confusion

I am designing a report based on a table that has two location ID's in it: receipt and delivery. If need both of these fields converted to Location name based on a amtch to a REF_LOCATION table. I can get one to work (citing either of th two codes), but never both of them. Is there a trick for this?
Also, can someone recommend a good book for learning Crystal Reports XI?

Hi, 
I suspect you have the REF_LOCATION table in your report once.  Add it into your report a second time.  Link receipt to the first REF_LOCATION and delivery to the second REF_LOCATION. 
That should do it for you. 
Good luck,
Brian

  • Newbie confusion over launching VBox Guest Services.

    Hi all,
    This is my first time of installing Arch Linux  as a guest using Virtual Box on a Mac. I have followed the instructions set out in the Wiki section for VBox.
    The following excerpt below had me a confused for a while.
    All these features can be enabled indepently and manually with their dedicated flags.
    # VBoxClient --clipboard --draganddrop --seamless --display --checkhostversion
    But VirtualBox provides a currently undocumented feature, a Bash script VBoxClient-all which enables all these features automatically and checks if a X11 server is really running before enabling some of them.
    # VBoxClient-all
    To start that script automatically when system starts run the following command as root (or sudo):
    # systemctl enable vboxservice
    Am I correct in thinking that in order to get clipboard, full screen etc... I still have to use the VBoxClient -all command rather than the systemctl enable vboxservice?
    I order to get the guest features to work I use the VBoxClient-all script in my autostart file.
    If I run ps -ef | grep -i vbox without the autostart script i see the following below
    root 184 1 0 14:44 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/VBoxService -f
    and the clipboard features etc do not work.
    Have I misunderstood something?
    Thanks

  • Newbie - confused about clips and "Unrendered"

    Hello - Sorry for the newbie-ness. Just got FCE, watched the tutorials... Imported a .mov file, have edited the clip a bit and I have two clips in the timeline using "superimpose" for the second one, so that I could view both happening simultaneously. But when I try to play them back to view them I'm not seeing them, though I hear the audio of both clips.AND, when I press play the far right window says "unrendered," but when I pause I see the clip in the far right window. So, what am I doing wrong? Thank you very much.
    Nick

    Nothing. Superimpose puts one clip on top of the other. It does not adjust the transparency or alter the clip in any way to see the underlying image. If you want to do that you can do it by opening the clip from the timeline into the viewer and in the motion tab adjusting opacity, scale, crop, whatever.
    The material is unrendered because it probably does not match the sequence settings. Check item properties for both the sequence and the clips and make sure they match in every respect.

  • Dmwiz.sh, etc., Newbie confusion

    I'm finding the creation of domains and servers a bit confusing. If I use the "Admin
    Server with Managed Servers(s)" option, that doesn't seem to create the managed server
    instance. Do I still need to create the managed server instance with "Managed Server
    (with woning Dmin Server configuration)"? I've seen some very smart people get
    confused when trying to show me how this is supposed to work. Is there a plath to
    clarity regarding setting up a WL domain? It would be helpful to have a complete

    it exists, but I haven't found it.

    When you chose this option, the domain configuration wizard first creates

    check?
    The wizard clearly states in each screen that it's configuring managed server or admin
    server etc....
    Not sure why you find it confusing.

  • MAX newbie confused on data configuration

    I'm trying to get a handle on an existing application that was written before I was hired.
    I have a test Fieldpoint rig setup about the same as the production unit. I am able to communicate with the Fieldpoint in MAX and query it with LabWindows/CVI.
    If I go into MAX and change the data configuration range from 0 to 20 volts to -120 volts to 120 volts, the reading in MAX doesn't change. Also, the value I read in LabWindows/CVI doesn't change either. I am hitting the Apply button.
    So is this range adjustment used anywhere, or is it just for documentation?
    (Attached is a screen capture of the value I am changing)
    Attachments:
    MAX1.JPG ‏66 KB

    Is your analog input within the ranges that you are defining?  Are you changing the analog input between configuration changes?  Let's say you are putting in 10V,  it's within range of 0--20V.  It's also within range of 0-120V.  So you should be able to read the value with either range.  Of course with the larger range, you will have a little worse accuracy and/or resolution.  If you were trying to read 30V, then you wouldn't be able to read it at all with the 0-20V range, but would be able to read it with the 0-120V range.

  • Newbie confused about setting up E3200

    Bought E3200 today. Guy in store told me not to use install CD. He said just hook it up and my computer will direct me on what to do. I would like to know if he is right. Why would I not use the CD? I know almost nothing about routers and want the installation to go well. They fellow said that the install CD would just mess me up. I do know how the router should be wired up I just don't know anything about the rest of it. Need the true skinny!

    Well if you know how to make the physical connectivity between modem, router and computer then you can install the CD for the router E3200 with any problem. Basically the CD consist of Cisco Connect software which comes with the Linksys Wireless-N (E-Series) Routers and lets you manage your network easier. For the setup process, you need to perform the following:
    i. Verify that there is an active Internet connection between the computer and modem
    ii. Set up the router using Cisco Connect
    You can try installing the router with the help of the Cisco Connect software. Here is the link for installing the router: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&app=vw&vw=1&login=1&json=1&docid=e30f926604334d5386685...

  • Packages vs. Projects

    Hi all!
    I am making a library-type program that has the main class (library) and another class (book), to, well, define a book. I won't need the book code for other programs. Would it be better to make it into a package or a project? And how can I do that? I'm using jGrasp, on a Windows 2000 computer, and can't figure out how to get either way to work.
    Thanks in advance!

    I think JGrasp is an IDE. Newbie + IDE = Bad Thing
    And it's already starting... there is no suchthing
    as "projects" in Java. And as for IDEs, put it all
    into the same project. Packages are merely ways to
    group classes. You should have one, but I don't seea
    need to have separate ones for Book and Library so
    far.(Yes, I am a newbie) My Java book has a section on
    projects:
    "... If a class is to be used in only one program, or
    if you have divided your program so that is uses more
    than one class, rather than create a package, you can
    directly add the file(s) containing the class(es) to
    the program."what book is that? throw it away. it's confusing
    That's what I was referring to.. if that won't work,
    how do I make a package? I've tried several times
    following instructions exactly, and yet it still will
    not work.you "make" a java package by declaring that your class exists in it. eg
    package com.newbie.confused;
    public class MyClass {
    }it's a little more complicated than that, but a decent book should make it clear. forget using jgrasp, as well. IDEs confuse newbies, all the time

  • SkinnableContainer kills linebreaking?

    I've only been using Flex/Flashbuilder for about two weeks, so apologies if this is just newbie confusion...
    After struggling to set backgrounds in HGroups and VGroups I finally learned about skinning. I converted one of my other containers to a SkinnableContainer, created the simplest possible (I think) Skin, and now my RichText component no longer linebreaks! This is despite setting the lineBreak attribute to "toFit" in every conceivable place.
    The layout I'm working with is fairly complex, but I've reduce the problem to the code below. You'll see the SkinnableContainer -- there is also a commented out Group tag near it. If I remove the SkinnableContainer and replace it with a simple Group, line breaking occurs as I expect. Below this code is the Skin I am using. Any guidance would be most welcome; I had been planning to use a large set of SkinnableContainter components containing blocks of text for my app, but if linebreaking won't work, I've got a problem. Below the code I include images of the screen, once with the SkinnableContainer, and once with the plain Group.

  • XP Newbie Java P. & JRE Confusion Updates & Error

    Hi!
    I posted this in TechArena, and received a post in reply that suggested I should post here instead...
    I'm an eternal newbie with computers though I never stop trying to learn. I've looked through many posts & don't see an answer to my questions, so I hope this is the right place to ask them.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 1300 laptop with XP Home v. 5.1.266. I use Firefox and AVG. My computer was getting slow and in the last few days some programs started crashing. Today Corel Photo Album crashed. In trying to google the error report I found something mentioned about Java needing old versions deleted, so I checked mine. And this is where I got confused.
    Firest of all, I don't understand what the difference is between "Java Platform" and Java Runtime Environment" and I don't understand which version I should have of each. What I do have is:
    Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03
    Java ™ 6 Update 14
    Version 6.0.140
    Java ™ 6 Update 7
    Version 1.6.0.70
    Could someone one tell me what I should have on my computer?
    Also, I read in a post that one shouldn't install an update until the old versions are deleted, yet in another post (somewhere) it said to update and then delete the old versions. I don't know which to believe. Could I get some advice on which is correct?
    Thank you very much!

    Thanks for the advice. I did what you said. Then Spybot did a whole scan which took a while. When it returned the computer to me, all the versions of Java were gone from Add/Delete programs. I decided to do a search on "java" just to see what came up. A huge list came up; things like Java Plug.doc, java_install_reg.log, a folder labeled javaws thats located in Sun\Java\Deployment. I'd copy the list, but I don't know how. There are about 89 items on the list.
    Should these files be there? I haven't yet reinstalled the correct update.
    Thanks again.

  • IWeb Newbie here...I'm Confused

    I am using iWeb to publish a web page using a .Mac account. I was under the impression that if I wanted something to be visible on my web page, then I would need to have that file in my iDisk.
    However, I have used cut and paste in iWeb and the pictures look fine on the website and the source files are NOT in my iDisk. Does iWeb create a "separate" file structre?
    Someone said to go to the folder "sites" in the iDisk. I did and it's empty, yet my web page look fine. I understand using iDisk if I wanted to share files with other or if I am using different computers. I just thought every file on my homepage had to be in iDisk for users to see my page.
    Can anyone clarify? Thanks.

    That's where I am confused. Let's say I have a link
    to an MP3 file in iWeb. The file is in iTunes but
    not in my iDisk. Is there a difference?
    You don't need to worry about things you include from your hard drive from itunes or iphoto or elsewhere via the media browser or drag drop or Insert > Hyperlink > File. They are included in your site and copies are uploaded automatically.

  • Newbie ARD confusion

    I have just bought the unlimited client version of ARD to allow me to access and control my two office macs, remotely from the laptop when i'm working away from the office.
    I am finding the setting up rather confusing though, and yes, I have used the suggested directions (Kevin Nichols [email protected]) .
    I can access all the computers when i am sat in the office with them all connected to the same network.
    I want to access and control them from other locations (such as from home, or abroad) but i'm not sure how i set this up.
    At home i have an adsl router (dynamic ip) which connects to an airport extreme. I also have an adsl router attached to one of the macs in my office. I guess they both need to have the ports forwarded - however the instructions for the home router (a safecom samr4114) are not too helpful.
    When forwarding ports - one of the boxes requires Host IP Address...but i do not know which it is refering to - is it the IP address on the ARD admin computer, or the home router, or the airport, or the computer i'm connecting to....etc etc?.
    On a related topic....I have 2 laptops at home, both using airport. One has ARD admin and one has the client package loaded. I can see the client with Scanner but it refuses to connect. I have set the preferences to allow ARD connections but it just does nto want to connect. Any suggestions?
    sorry if this all sounds a bit vague - i'm new to networking even though i have been a mac user for over 15years!!

    So I took the plunge and deleted the old Listener and created a new one. I can still connect to the DB after restarting the Listener, the DB, and the DB console so I guess all is well?
    However, my listener information is no longer displayed in Enterprise Manager as there is nothing listed next to the Listener. I also have the error below in red at the top of the EM screen when I first open it, but then it goes away when the screen refreshes 60 seconds later. Is this normal?
    Error
    java.lang.Exception: Received unexpected response text : <html><head><title>EMDAEMON</title></head><body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFC0"><H1>EMDAEMON</H1><H2> HTTP/1.1 404 , Not Found<br></h2></body></html>

  • Groups and Auxs - confused Newbie

    Can someone please explain the difference between a group and a bus.
    Case: I want to group my drum tracks to a group to apply automation etc. If I create the group in the mixer, select each drum track and say t's art of the groupdo I still need to apply a 'send' in each track inspector to the aux/bus of the same number as teh group?
    I'm sure this is a Doh! moment for many but despite reading three manuals I can't understand the logic (no pun).
    Thanks

    Older versions of Logic (up to 7?) had "Bus Channels" - if you have an older project or template, you will have these objects. If you are in version 8 or 9, creating a new file from scratch which will not have these objects.
    An auxiliary is a CHANNEL and a bus is a PATH.
    This is the way it should have been implemented from the beginning, but it wasn't so the confusion spread. A bus is any circuit accepts input from multiple sources. Other than the channels, most everything on an analog mixer is a bus; the main stereo mix, the submasters, the auxes, the matrix, etc.
    Think of a bus as a virtual wire. It can be tapped into for a variety of things, from aux sources to compressor side chains. Once you put a signal on a bus in Logic (usually through an aux send) that signal can be used in multiple ways, by multiple objects.
    The auxiliaries can be used for effects or for subgrouping. They are channels with faders and inserts. On hardware mixers, the auxiliary 'channels' are usually little more than level knobs for input and output. Obviously, larger consoles have much greater flexibility in this regard.
    In Logic 8 and 9, you can create a bus "object" in the environment. I wouldn't touch this, BUT IF YOU DO, the cool thing is that you can get at the signal on the bus and effect it - if you want to.
    For example, say you had a snare on track 1, and used an aux send (at unity) which sent its signal over bus 1 to auxiliary 1. If you created a 'bus object' in the environment and pulled down the faer by -6dB, the auxiliary will get a signal that is 6dB down from unity.
    An auxiliary is a channel, a bus is a path (except for that crazy 'bus object')
