Excel 2007 Documents Not Displayed in Windows XP Professional sp2
Start Menu's Recent Documents List:
Dear Microsoft Support:
I can't figure out how to get recently used Excel 2007 (new file formats) documents to show up in the Windows XP Professional (sp2) Start Menu's Recent Documents List. I checked the Internet, the knowledgebase, many parts of the MS web site, etc. for an answer but can't find one.
Are Excel 2007 documents supposed to show up in the XP Start Menu's Recent Document List? Is this a bug or do I have to do some sort of configuration to make it do so? If it's a bug, when will a fix be available?
Are these new Excel 2007 files filtered out like EXE files are which will not appear in the Recent Document List?
The Excel 2007 file types are listed in the Registry.
This question is also posted on Experts-Exchange...No solutions yet.
Thanks.
Jim.

Greetings,
Environment:
Server: SQL Server 2005 with service pack 1 running on Windows Server 2003
Clients: Internet Explorer 7, MS Office 2007
Setup:
Our companies reports are a mixture of Reporting Services Reports and Excel workbooks with pivot tables. We want both the reports and the pivot tables to be accessible from the same web page so users have a single entry point into all of the business intelligence tools. We have the Reporting Services Reports working just fine but there is an slight hiccup with the Excel documents. The Excel files upload just fine, but when clients try and download them they are always presented with the following Yes/No dialog:
"The file you are trying to open 'Resource.aspx' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
Clicking Yes opens the file in excel but it is opened as Resource.aspx instead of the actual excel file.
Clicking No opens the file in excel as the actual excel file.
My questions are:
1. Why does the file upload correctly as an excel file type but download as an aspx?
2. Is there a way to let Reporting Services associate the .xlsx extension with Excel.
3. Is this even a Reporting Services problem? (I believe it is, because we also use SharePoint and excel files uploaded in sharepoint download correctly using IE7).
Any help or insight is appreciated.
Regards,
Jplocster

Yesterday I installed MS SQL 2000 for the first time and have no idea what I'm doing.
I have been sent a database and asked to convert this to MS Access, for most of the data that is ok and I have already managed to do this. My problem is that the database contains MS Word documents stored in some of the tables (field type - image). I need to extract these from the database and get them back to individual Word files, ideally with a file name that relates them to the primary key of the table from which they came.
I have less that 24 hours experience with SQL server and would be very grateful if anyone can explain how I can do this.
Thank you for your help

Hello All,
I have been experimenting with SQL Server 2005 partitions. I loaded a terabyte of information into 2 tables. The first holds the document information and the second holds the actual binary document (in this case pdf). Most of the documents are about 1 megabyte in size, but the largest is 212 megabytes.
SQL Server has no problem storing the blobs. The problem occurs when I attempt to get the data.
I did some quick tests to test how fast I could pull the documents out. The largest took about 24 seconds. The 1 meg documents are sub-second.
Here is how the 212 meg doc breaks down:
Time to load datatable: 18.79 seconds
Time to load byte array: 3.84 seconds
Time to Write and open document: 0.01 seconds
If I access the file from a file server, the time is 0.04 seconds to begin showing the document.
As you can see, the longest time period is related to retrieving the data from SQL, and it is much slower that launching it from disk across the network. (note: the sql server and file server used to test are next to each other).
My question is, how can I speed up the access from SQL Server? I believe the keys are "partition aligned". Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I will add the table definitions and partition information as a reply since only 5000 chars are allowed in the post.

We have a document library that we display on report manager. When we open a pdf document there is a print icon, but when we open an Excel document or a Word document, there is no ablility to print. The user must save the document locally and then reopen it to print from Word or Excel. Is there a setting somewhere that can be set to enable printing on the Excel and Word docs?

Is it possible to have a word document as a datatype? I am attempting to create a searchable SQL 7 database of approximately 5000 resumes, adding anywhere from 10-100 every day (we are a recruiting/consulting firm).
I know index server is an easier way to do this, but my managers are against it for unknown reasons.
Other ideas are also welcome...
Thanks in advance,

I am developing a resume storage system, and don't know the best way to store the resumes that come in to our company in both MS Word and text files. Should I store the files in the original format they come in, and reference the file name in the databse that points to a directory where they are stored, or should I store the text of the resumes directy in the database. There are 2 things that I must follow.
1: I need to have the documents keep their formatting.
2: I also need the capibility of conducting a full text search to pull out key words from the documents.
What is the best way?

Hello,
Brief overview. Got 2 tables, client table and document table. Both tables have client name as the primary key. Client table shows client info, address, phone, dob. Document table shows client name, document, document type.
I need to write a query that will count how many documents are in the table for each name.
This is attempt at it, please let me know whats wrong. Thanks.
SELECT count [client table].client name as cli_name, count ([document table].name as doc_qty)
FROM [client table] INNER JOIN [document table] ON [client table].id = [document table].ID
GROUP BY [client table].name
ORDER BY [client table].name

I am still finding my feet with sql server.I want to allow users to upload different versions of documents. However I want them to be able to access the previous versions if they need to. Below, is some info (there are other fields, but not necessary here) from a table 'file_resources':
file_idfile_nameversion original_file_id
406 ppt1 4 403
405 ppt3 3 403
404 ppt1 2 403
403 ppt1 1 403
402 excel1 1 402
The problem I have is that I want to display the latest version details by default but have a link to previous versions of the document.
So, when I run the following sql:
SELECT file_id, version
FROM file_resources
ORDER BY file_id DESC, version DESC
it returns:
file_idversion
406 4
405 3
404 2
403 1
402 1
But what I need to get is the 2 unique documents (The latest file_id where original_file_id is duplicated):
406
402

I am creating a document management systems using asp. I have beenresearching the different ways of handling the documents such as using thefile system and storing the path in the db, and actually storing thedocument in the db. I like the idea of storing it in the database muchbetter because I can allow users to manage documents themselves (I alreadyhave the code in place to do it if I decide), having a central system withthe ability to add my own document properties by adding fields to the table,security, and backups. I have found that most think it is better to storethe path due to performance issues and the rate the db can grow. I havelooked at our current system in access and we have a total of 4400 documents(of which probably 25% are in the database but don't actually exist anymorein the file system, one hangup about the file system) since 1988. Thiscomes to about 300 documents added each year. The other thing is the issuewith the size of the db. I don't see a whole lot of difference with thisissue because it is going to take up space in your file system too, althoughthe file system may be more efficient at storing them. I would say that 95%of our docs are under 1 mb in size and done in ms word.The last thing is using full-text search capabilities in SQL Server. I needto be able to search the contents of the field.Is there other issues around storing documents in the db to consider besidesthe above?

Hi,
I was wondering if someone was able to comment on something that I've encountered using SSRS.
I have set some items with the ToggleItem property and viewing the report, the [+] and [-] buttons show. However when the report is exported (to pdf, mhtml or even tif), the icons are no longer there.
Is there a way to get these to appear?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have installed SQL server 2005 enterprise edition on Windows 2003 virtual PC (full installation). The installation went through successfully. However, after install completed, I cannot find any of the client tools under the start menu -> all programs -> Microsoft SQL server 2005 menu. The only item listed under the SQL server 2005 is Configuration Tools, which is used to configure the database server.
I have tried to install the client component again (in case I didn't install them at the first place) but the installation process cannot be started since it detected that the client components have been installed already. I can also see the sql server native client running in the services.
The server engine is working fine since I can connect to that sql server using another machine where I have the client tool (SQL server management studio).
One of my friends has exactly the same problem. He installed the sql server 2005 Standard edition on windows 2003 server (full installation), but the client tools are not showing up in the start menu either.
I also checked the location for the SQL server management studio (Microsoft SQL server/90/Tools/Binn/VSShell/Common7/IDE), there is only one folder called publicAssemblies listed under. Is this correct or something is missing?
Thanks

Hi,
I have developed a Job Registration page, in which, the resume attached will be stored in the database in an image data-type field. Now, the client program includes migration of the database into local server and process the resumes.
After migration to the local database, if the client wants to process the resume and save directly to the database again, is it possible? This a very urgent requirement. Currently, i am separating the resume from the database and storing in a folder with the ID as the file name. But i want to convert it to a distributed application, which needs the resume to be in the database itself.
Can anybody suggest me the method to open .doc file from the database, process it and save directly to the database?
Thanks and regards,
mrc

I have been asked to look into using Filestream for centralising MS Office documents (mostly excel).I am worried about the "user interface" aspect.I read that there are "this and that" APIs to read/write data to the filestream but surely one would need to write a specific interface to Word/Excel... which feels like far too hard.I am a great admirer of SQL Server but is it the right tool for document management?
We use SQL Server 2012 and have offices round the world with various internet connection quality.Our main aim is to stop the current "spreadsheet nightmare" so common with Excel.

I need someone that knows something about SQL queries.
I have a client that is running a Database known as ProLaw. It is in part a
document management system for Law Offices.
They have an SQL 2005 database that tracks per client all the documents they
create.
We had to replace there server with new server. The new server is running
sbs2003 and had to have a different Netbios name then the old sbs2000
server. (Small Bus. Server has some weird quirks that make simply using the
same netbios name impossible. Google search it if you don't believe me.)
The database holds in a single column the full network share path to each
document.
A document for example may have had a path of
"\lawwillsbs2000ProlawDocumentsACME wigets Incsmith_deposition.doc"
Different documents may have different names and more subdirectories but the
root path of "\lawwillsbs2000ProlawDocuments" is shared by all.
The new server is named \sbs2003 I need to change
the first part of almost 3000 path statements to the new server. The rest
of the path is unchanged.
I have had several people running prolaw tell me that I should run this
query:
UPDATE Events
SET DocDir=REPLACE(DocDir, '\\lawwillsbs2000', '\\sbs2003')
WHERE EventKind='O'
This doesn't work. Nothing is changed. I'm guessing it is because this
query assumes the value will be ONLY \lawwillsbs2000 I see nothing in here that tells the query that this is only part of the string. No wild card or other marker.
I need some kind of string function here do I not? Anyone know enough to
help me craft a proper query?
Thanks

Hi folks,I want to be able to store and retrieve UNSAVED Word documents as BLOBs. Igot all the info for storing them if they're already saved on the filesystem. But what if they're not already saved? I could save them to a tempfile first and then make it a blob, but I'd rather not put them on the filesystem at all. I could use Document.Contents to get the Range object for thewhole doc and then BLOB that, but I'm not sure that would be quite the sameas a .doc file, maybe things like Styles and the like would be missing.TIA!Dave

Hi There,Being quite new to MS-SQL I would like to ask if there is a general opinionof what approach should be taken to storing things like external documentsand images in databases.Should the actual files be stored within the database, or instead shouldlinks to the files on a file server or something similar be stored instead.For the end user I imagine it is easier to have everything stored within thedatabase, because doing it the other way in effect gives another level ofmanagement because there is the need to perhaps manually look after the fileserver with all the image files or document files on.In my particular case, I am building a database where the users use a greatmany Word documents. For example, I particular record might have a number ofdifferent Word documents associated with it.I was going to create a "Documents" table that all documents were stored in(including meta data about each document because it will be really useful tobe able to search for documents so that they can be reused).In this table I was in a dilemma as to whether to actually store thedocuments in the table. Other then the performance hit and memoryrequirements this will require, are there any other disadvantages?What are the general thoughts when a database needs to manage a lot of pdfand word documents?Thanks in advance.Dave.

Hello,
We have a requirement that on some reports, like details on a specific inventory item, we need to print with the report and external attachment like a word document, and auto cad drawing, or a picture.
Some of the ideas we are thinking of are:
adding the links to the external documents in a report parameter and then, when the report is about to be printed, get the values and send the documents to the print queue just after we send the report to the print queue.
Creating a custom control on the report to somehow stream the file to the print queue when the report is printed.
Render the report to a pdf and programmatically send the pdf and other attachments to the report queue.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this or, even better, some code that meets the requirements.
Thank you,
Paul
