Hello everyone!, My name is robin and i'm a developing software developer. That's not to say i'm not fully developed already, cos i'm a strapping 6-foot Rugby dude, just that im in the process of becoming rich by writing programs, and have reached the stage where learning things gets harder, cos all the the idiots guide books no longer further my cause. Hope some of you might help me, and i'll be sure to help some of you (provided i know what you're on about)., Anyhoo - gota go work now, See-ya

I'm in the process of figuring out J2EE as well, and i found JBoss to be really confusing for a simple newbie like me. If you're just looking to get to grips with the basics, then why not give openejb a try?? It is free (GPL i think) and works on a simple command line interface. Their docs are good as well, i found working with this far easier than jboss. Here it is:, , http://openejb.exolab.org/ , , Oh, and the JBoss people make their money from consulting and selling training and docs. You'll be hard pushed to find some decent, free, up-to-date docs for jboss cos they want your cash!!! (can't blame them really....), , hth, , Robin

hi., , I don't know what crystal reports are, but it sounds to me like a prblem finding the code for this. Try re-installing 'crystal reports'?

Hi., , If the field doesn't have to be a numerical type, then you could have a 16 character long string for you key. You could then use the rand() function to generate the random number, then cast it into a string before storing it. With this approach you'd have to catch any key duplication errors (highly unlikely, but....) and also you'd only be able to add records to the database using your program., , hth

What the hell is a 'case based reasoning system'?!?!?!? Is this just a bit of logic that uses the select .... case statement?, , R Harvey
