I didn't need your dang help after all...

I love catchy subject lines! Don't you? ;-)
After a very enjoyable few days of verbal boxing about how a newbie should and should not learn to code, I've met with some Java coding success!!!
I had asked a question about "class.forname" which a few people ( Will ;-) ) thought was a "dumb" and "stupid" question. Some people even suggested that perhaps I'm "dumb" and perhaps "stupid". Ohhhhh nooooo I ain't. Never was and never will be.
I found the answer to my problem in a strange place. In the readme file that came with the mySQL driver I downloaded. Is that crazy? That readme file explained where the driver files need to be located physically within my JDK folder structure. That's really all needed to know. Yesterday I created my very first Java program which connects to my local mySQL database and can insert records and display record searches using SQL. That was pretty damn hard for newbie. I'm quite happy with my results.
If I offended anyone ( Will ;-) ) by my posts, I would like to appologize. I was just trying to be funny not offensive.

PS: Yes, I've been using Google and DogPile quite a lot these past few days ;-)

Yes, thats true. You really can find the info on your own if you're willing to put in the time to do so. Normally I go to Borders, sit with a pile of computer books, and read until find the book that answers my question. Then I'll buy that book and maybe another if I have extra cash.
Sometimes when I get really frustrated after hours of searching, reading, and failing, I've been know to post some dumb questions. I found the answer to my last post just by luck. I was originally trying to Access for my database and I just couldn't find what I needed to make it work.
So I switch to mySQL...
If anyone is looking for database for their app, I had mySQL up and running in -no- time at all. I downloaded a JDBC driver from the mySQL site and the readme file told me exactly how to setup and use the driver. It was very easy to understand.
Driver was written by Mark Matthews. Thanks Mark!

  • Plz i need your urgently help (toshiba E105-S1402)

    hi all ,i have toshiba E105-S1402 ,it is wonderful laptop but there is no serial port ,and i realy have to connect it with media show (media projector)
    it there is any converter or some tools make me use my media show ,i search alot and i realy need help
    any advice???????
    thanks

    Hi, I'm Luciane and I have the same issue.
    I bought a E105-S1402 notebook and I cannot connect it on projectors, because the only output channel is a hdmi port and normally the projectors works with vga.
    I already bought the adaptor indicated by Jerry, but it doesn't work. It looks like that the system is not able to identify the output.
    It's been a problem because my job requires that I show things all time, and I've been carrying another notebook with me because of this issue. Look: It doesn't matter what projector are you trying to connect with, the problem is related the output.
    Anyone know if there is any kind of software to control the hdmi x vga connections? Is there any kind of special configuration on operarion system?
    Please, help us...
    Tks,
    Luciane

  • Need screen saver help after latest iTunes update...

    Just updated iTunes to version 7 and had the system load album art when starting it up (which it did not do but no big deal). So I manually added some album art as I always do through get info and dragging the pic just to check out the new search feature. I went to test out the screen saver to check out the new album pics and instead got a black screen. So I check preferences and received the following error:
    "Can't load screen saver - Screen saver itunes artwork did not load properly. please select another screen saver. Error: * -[NSURL initWithString:relativeToURL:]: nil string parameter"
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Thats odd. Not sure what this error means, but you could always try repairing disk permissions, that seems to solve most of the random errors that occasionally pop up on my OS X macs. Load the OS X install dvd into the drive then restart your machine holding the C key. choose english as the main language. Then go into the utilities menu and select disk utility. Click on your hard disk then click the repair permissions button. Once completed, restart the computer into OS X. Then try your screensaver again. If this doesnt work, post again and I'll take a closer look at it.

  • Pls need your urgent help - DVD drive is broken

    Hello
    You can contact Toshiba service partner in Moscow. I am pretty sure that they can order this drive for you. Other way you can contact the notebook manufacturer and ask them which drives are compatible with it.

  • Hi everyone, need your precious helps about active IP 3gs

    Hi there, I've got an locked IP 3gs from at&t carrier, us (FW 3.1.3) However, I've upgraded it to 4.0.1 recently without JBreak because I'd used it like an ipod touch, and now it only appears nO SIM CARD installed, insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate IP. THerefore, if anybody in London has one AT&T sim card, can I borrow just a second for activation.
    THanks alot!!!

    I checked on the internet, there's one guy can active IP without original sim card by a thing called PHONEBOOK SIM CARD, so anybody has ideas about where to buy it in London? Thanks much!!!

    If I were you I would get my computer serviced because it has a faulty keyboard. The '.' key seems to stick down whenever used, the Caps key does not seem to work at all and many keys seem only to work intermittently.

  • How to convert PO sapscript layout to pdf - need VERY URGENT Help

    Dear All,
    Requirement: PO sapscript layout after some modifications (say, ZMEDRUCK) has to be converted to pdf. Through me9f user will be able to give ranges of PO numbers and can view the print preview for the po. After that on clicking the print button we get the printout of the pos one after another based on the user input of PO numbers.
    Our requirement is that when the user will click on the "Print Preview" of po (rather than pressing the print button) it i.e. PO sapscript layout has to get converted to pdf.
    If you have already encountered this scenario, could you please send me the source code regarding this at the earliest. If you want to email it to my personal id, please let me know so that I can give it to you. Thank you.
    It will be very beneficial for mine if you can send me some source code in this regard. (FYI. We want only “Print output” of PO sapscript. So, Print Program /SMB40/FM06P [after copying it to our ZSMB40/FM06P program] need to be modified for downloading the PO into PDF where there is no FMs like OPEN_FORM, WRITE_FORM, CLOSE_FORM. So already available source code in SAP forums can not help me.)). Kindly help me at the earliest. It’s VERY URGENT…
    Thank you.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sudipta

    Hi Chaith,
    Could you please provide me the source code regarding this at the earliest.
    We want only “Print output” of PO sapscript. So we need to modify only the Print Program SAPFM06P after copying it to ZSAPFM06P for downloading of modified PO (ZMEDRUCK) sapscript layout into PDF.
    I am already having some source code from sdn portral. I am attaching it herewith. But it's not working as some constants and variable values need to be given. We want to take download of PO into PDF from ME9F transaction itself.
    Could you please provide necessary values in the missing constants and variables and kindly resend the corrected modified Source code to me so that I can run the same code to  download the modified PO ZMEDRUCK into PDF . Need YOUR URGENT HELP...

  • HI, I need your help. How can I delete all data, when I do not have the special security code, which I didn´t remember ? I also think, that I never create this code before. But I cannot put my settings back.

    You must remember the code, if you can't then take the phone and proof of purchase to an Apple Store.

    FACETIME MISSING
    The governments in some middle eastern countries have banned Facetime and it is disabled on iphones purchased in those countries.  The countries include KAS, UAE and others.  There is no way to get Facetime on such phones (for example it cannot be downloaded and installed) and taking the phone to another country does not cause Facetime to reappear on such phones. In  support.apple.com/kb/ts3367  it says “Note: FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information.”
