Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Starting a discussion group for Alpha Web Server for IIS

    I am starting a discussion group on Alpha Web Server for IIS.

    The first one is set for next Tuesday 8/30 at 10AM Pacific Time. After that initial meeting, I will schedule meetings every week or other week at times that work for everyone. This is not a training session; the purpose is for us to compare notes and share insight on Alpha IIS in terms of installation, deployment, performance, etc.

    Because it is not a formal training session it is best suited for developers who have installed Alpha for IIS or at least started the process. I would love to have some IIS experts attend even if they have not installed Alpha for IIS.

    To register, go to http://iadn.com/webinars.a5w.

    Re: Starting a discussion group for Alpha Web Server for IIS

    So far we have nine folks signed up for the discussion group on Alpha Web Server for IIS. Should be a good discussion. You can join us by registering at http://iadn.com/webinars.a5w. A "discussion" means it is not a formal training session. Instead, a bunch of experienced developers will share their insight on the subject. I expect it to be very useful, maybe better than a formal training session.

      I would love to be a part of the discussion but that time of day is impossible for me. Will it be recorded?

        Gary,

        I don't want to record because it is a 'discussion' not a training session. But I will be taking notes to selectively share afterwards. We want to find out who has actually deployed this version, problems encountered, bugs and other issues, performance, viability and other concerns. So far, Alpha is not participating directly so I do not know if the results will be useful to them. Over the five-week series, I am hoping all participants push to complete their IIS installation and continue to test for performance. My primary interest is does it in fact actually increase the number of users that can use the application at the same time, and how you have to configure the machine for high-usage.
