Help with selecting 10 random records from all records meeting report selection criteria in Crystal 11

I am trying to select ten random records from all that match the report selection criteria then report on each of these random records for QA/QI. I have tried the RND function however it is giving me a random number rather than a random record selection. I cannot figure this out and am despirately seeking assistance.Thank you,Amy

I don't know of any Random record selection functions but maybe you could write your own custom function inside of a record selection to randomly filter the records. You would use the Rand function we currently have to decide if a record was included in the report data or not.Another possible option is to filter the records before they get to the report. You can only do this if you are pushing the data into the report instead of having the report pull the data. An example of this would be passing an ado recordset to a report at runtime.

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Help with imported eps files from photoshop and illustrator using PANTONE

I am new to InDesign and running into some very frustrating issues. I am preparing a catalogue for print which was created in Quark XPress previously. I tried converting it initially but had all kinds of strange things happening with type re-wrapping. The printer advised to recreate in InDesign. FIne by me because I'll learn as I go along.
So I created a page in InDesign and place and eps file created in Illustrator using a spot Pantone color and a halftone created in Photoshop also using the same spot Pantone color. In InDesign the color swatch menu show both colors one as 228 C and the other as 228 C 1. How do I get just one definition for PMS228 coated that works across all three programs? Stuff like this pisses me off. Adobe should have one definition across all three.
Help!!!

My best guess for the two definitions is that the CMYK values of the colours do not match, so InDesign treats them separately. You can merge them using the In Manager. Open the Swatches panel and select Ink Manager from the flyout menu. Select PANTONE 228C 1, go to the Ink Alais pop-up menu, and select PANTONE 228. Now InDesign will treat the two colours as one separation on output.
You should also take the time to open each graphic and resave as a native file. This means .psd for Photoshop and .ai for Illustrator. While there, see if you can make sure the colour names and definitions are consistent.

How to efficiently select random rows from a large table ?

Hello,
The following code will select 5 rows out of a random set of rows from the emp (employee) table
select *
from (
 select ename, job
 from emp
 order by dbms_random.value()
where rownum <= 5my concern is that the inner select will cause a table scan in order to assign a random value to each row. This code when used against a large table can be a performance problem.
Is there an efficient way of selecting random rows from a table without having to do a table scan ? (I am new to Oracle, therefore it is possible that I am missing a very simple way to perform this task.)
thank you for your help,
John.

Have a look at the SAMPLE clause of the select statement. The number in parenthesis is a percentage of the table.

How to create a LookUp field, selecting a value from another record type ??

Hello all,
I am looking to create a new field in Opportunity in CRM On Demand where we can give the user an option to select one of the records. Data in this search applet should come from another Record Type in CRM On Demand. I am not able to find any similar literature in the Help books.
I would appreciate if somebody could give me real life steps please.
Thanks a lot

Okay. I found the solution to this.
Now, along with this single reference, we also wish to bring the values of some more joined fields from the other record type in the Opportunities screen.
We were hoping that the Default value, and using fx, we should be able to achieve this using "joinedfieldvalue". However, it's not bringing back any value. Our expression is -
JoinFieldValue('<CustomObject3>',[<CustomObject3Id>],'<stState_ITAG>')
Please help if you have done this before.
Thanks & Regards

How to delete same name records from datagrid,while i am selecting one of the record and delete

hi friends,
i am working in flex 4 mxml web application with action script....i am using a data grid and one delete button outside the gird.
i have two records in the same name in grid, when i click one record from the grid and click delete means that time ,both records will delete from that grid
which record having the same name..
how to do this?
any useful suggesssion or snippets code for this..
Thanks in advance,
B.venkatesan.

hello,
first get the length of the datagrid.
suppose your datagrid id is db and you want to delete the the row which have same name .....
first get the selected row and from that name of the selcted row.
supoose selected name is
var index:int=db.selectedindex;
var selname:string =bd.dataprovide.getItemAt(index).name;(name id datafield of the column).
now you got the selected name search for the same rows in datagrid.
var totallen:int=(db.dataprovider).length;
for(var i:int=0;i<totallen;i++)
 var checkduplicate:string=bd.dataprovide.getItemAt(i).name;
 if(checkduplicate==selname)
 db.dataProvider.removeItemAt(i);
this will delete all the row which are with same name with selected row name...

Costing run with values for material from info record.

Hi All
there is requirement with my client, that when i run my costing run the values of the components in BOM should be from the latest purchase order.
For this i am maintined valuation criteria as price from info record and sub strategy as gross price from PO.
When i am create a PO the info record is created automatically in background. So when i run costing run the value is picked correctly.
Now when i create a PO with same material from diff vendor the info record is generated, but on costing run it picks the value from the info record of earlier vendor. For this i go and check the conditions tab in info record, ensure its balnk and save it. Again generate new PO and then run a costing run. This time the system reads the latest info record.
My problem is that i want to ensure that during the costing run, system should read the latest info record w/o manual intervention. System behaviour is not consistent when there is multiple vendor and same material info records. Sometimes it pick up the value and sometimes it refers the old info record.
Can any one help me out in resolving this issue. Its critical.
Regards
Rakesh

Hi!
Generally first info records will be created with vendor, then PO will be created, based on info records price, price will be updated in PO.
If you have more than one vendor for same material, you have to create info records for each vendor. then you need to maintain source list, where you can fix the vendor. If there is no fix vendor, then you can do schedule agreement with vendors, where you have to give proportionate percentages again each vendor.
Now for costing run :
1. if you have only one info record, the price will take from that info record.
2. if you have more than one info record, you need to mantain source list, where you can tick the fixed vendor, then system will take price from that vendor info record.
3. if there is no fixed vendor and you have maintained scehduel agreement with weightage to vendor, then higher percentage vendor info record price will be picked up.
4. if you have more info reocrds, not maintianed source list or schedule agreement, price will be picked up from first info record ( based on info record creation date).
5. if you have a schedule agreement, but you have given equal weightage for example 50% and 50%, then also system will pick up from first info record.
i think it is clear now.

Help with query to determine if a record value has changed.

Our auditors want to know which items had their costs updated in March 2006. I'm querying the cst_standard_cost table to find records that were updated in March. This part seems to be working although it pulls back multiple rows for the same item if more than one update was done in that month. I'm still not sure how I'm going to handle that problem.
----cst_standard_costs-----
alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'MM/DD/YYYY';
drop table suss.cost_update_0306b;
create table suss.cost_update_0306b
as
select csc.inventory_item_id, mtl.segment1||','||mtl.segment2 "item", csc.organization_id,csc.standard_cost,csc.creation_date "creation_date"
from cst_standard_costs csc, mtl_system_items_b mtl
where csc.inventory_item_id = mtl.inventory_item_id
and mtl.organization_id = '82'
and csc.organization_id not in ('0','81')
and csc.creation_date like '03/%/2006%'
order by csc.inventory_item_idHere, I'm trying to find if the update that was done in March actually changed the item's cost. But the sql is not exactly right. The results being returned are any cost update where the item's cost is different than it was in March. I'd like to pull back the item's cost from the most recent cost update previous to the March update and see if it differs from the March cost.
select csc.inventory_item_id,mtl.segment1||','||mtl.segment2, csc.organization_id,csc.standard_cost, csc.creation_date
from cst_standard_costs csc, mtl_system_items_b mtl, suss.cost_update_0306b scu
where csc.inventory_item_id = mtl.inventory_item_id
and mtl.organization_id = '82'
and scu.inventory_item_id = csc.inventory_item_id
and csc.organization_id not in ('0','81')
and csc.creation_date < scu."creation_date"
and csc.standard_cost <>scu.standard_cost
order by csc.inventory_item_id ascHere's a simple example
item id.....cost.........update_date
24..........45.00........03/01/2006
24..........45.00........02/01/2006
24..........30.00........02/22/2006
40..........45.00........03/01/2006
40..........30.00........02/01/2006
40..........28.00........02/22/2006
The results of the sql should be to return item id 40 because the costs changed in March but not item id 24 because the costs did not change in March

Something like this:
SQL> DESC COSTS;
Name Null? Type
ITEM_ID NUMBER
COST NUMBER(4,2)
UPDATE_DATE DATE
SQL> SELECT * FROM COSTS;
 ITEM_ID COST UPDATE_DAT
 24 40 03/01/2006
 24 45 02/01/2006
 40 45 03/01/2006
 40 30 02/01/2006
SQL> SELECT b.item_id, b.cost, b.update_date
2 FROM costs a, costs b
3 WHERE a.item_id = b.item_id
4 AND a.cost <> b.cost
5 AND a.update_date = ADD_MONTHS(b.update_date, -1)
6 /
 ITEM_ID COST UPDATE_DAT
 24 40 03/01/2006
 40 45 03/01/2006It is maybe not efficient query but works :)
Another solution:
1 SELECT a.item_id, a.cost, a.update_date
2 FROM costs a
3 WHERE a.cost <> (SELECT cost
4 FROM costs
5 WHERE a.item_id = item_id
6 AND ADD_MONTHS(a.update_date, -1) = update_date
7* )
SQL> /
 ITEM_ID COST UPDATE_DAT
 24 40 03/01/2006
 40 45 03/01/2006Peter D.

Please help! iMac randomly disconnects from internet. Wi-fi via BT hub. I am baffled by all of the suggestions when I google this problem! Any simple solution? Thanks!

Please Help! My brand new imac randomly disconnects from the internet. We have a BT hub - wi-fi. I have googled this issue and see that it is relatively common and it is incredibly frustrating. sadly, I have been unable to wade through the suggestions others have had as to how to solve the problem as i have no technical knowledge and am basically baffled by the list of suggestions. Please can anyone explain why this happens and what to do? It is fairly simple to reconnect each time but it is driving me mad having to. It generally happens when the computer is asleep but sometimes in the middle of doing something. Thanks!!!!!!

What frequency, security are you running? It would have been helpful if you specified in the first post.
Did you create a new Location in System Preferences->Network pane, Location pull-down. Create a new custom named Location. Then after you create that new Location click on the 'Apply' button to save that new custom named Location. See if that helps.
Lastly a lot of people have reported that WEP in lion is problmatic and it would be better to use WPA2 if you can.
