Using SQL Server 2005 Web Services with InfoPath - Microsoft InfoPath 2010. Here’s your problem: You want to use a stored procedure in a database to access your data through InfoPath, but you don’t really want to have to write script for every query to change the stored procedure’s query parameters. We’ve all been there. Well, stop your coding, right now, because SQL Server 2005 allows you to create SOAP Web Service “endpoints” that act as a type of exposed stored procedure over HTTP. Among other cool things, this will allow you to have the parameters you need exposed as query parameters in InfoPath’s data source.

It's easy to set up in SQL Server 2005 using the CREATE ENDPOINT T-SQL statement. For example, let's say there is a simple Stored Procedure called "getAge" that takes an integer value and returns every person in a table that has that age. CREATE ENDPOINT getSpecifiedAgeEndpoint SITE = 'myserver', PATH = '/getspecifiedagewebservice', WEBMETHOD 'GetRecordsWithSpecifiedAge' NAME = 'AdventureWorks.dbo.getAge', DATABASE = 'AdventureWorks' Working with Dates and Times. The topic you requested is included in another documentation set. For convenience, it's displayed below. Choose Switch to see the topic in its original location. Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) provides a data type for storing date and time values, the Date data type.

Convenient as the Date data type is, manipulating date values in VBA can still be tricky. In This Section Store date and time values by using the Date data type. Three functions in Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) can tell you exactly when it is: the Now, Date, and Time functions. Use predefined formats to format a date, or create a custom format for a date. Understand how to indicate to Microsoft® Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) that a value is a date. Break down dates into component parts — day, month, and year — to perform a calculation on one element, and then reassemble the date. Get information about a date, such as what quarter or week it falls in or what day of the week it is. Jack Dahlgren's Microsoft Project Visual Basic Examples. Microsoft Project VBA Visual Basic Macros are posted here as I have time. Most are designed specifically to solve a certain problem that I have come across and once that problem has been solved I stop embellishing the macro.

For this reason they are light on error handling and other niceties. I try to make them somewhat user-friendly however. Regardless, they are more useful as examples illustrating particular programming techniques rather than stand-alone solutions. The basic structure of the macros is useful if you are going to be developing your own.

The Excel rendering extension renders a report that is compatible with Microsoft Excel 97 and later. The report is exported to an Excel spreadsheet with some layout and original design elements stripped out as described in this topic. The format for reports rendered as Microsoft Excel is Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). The content type of files generated by this renderer is: application/vnd.ms-excel. The file name extension of files generated by this renderer is: .xls. To mitigate the risk of inadvertently running malicious scripts, open rendered reports only from trusted sources. For more information about securing reports, see Securing Reports and Resources. Rectangles, subreports, the report body, and data regions are rendered as a range of Excel cells.

Images, charts, and lines are positioned within one Excel cell but they sit on top of the cell grid. This renderer supports only logical page breaks.
