Why isn't SQL Server recording the information in the error logs?<br /><br />A: Every time SQL Server starts, the system creates a new error log. If you don't restart SQL Server frequently, the error log might fill up and stop recording information. You can create a new error log without restarting SQL Server by using sp_cycle_errorlog.<br /><br />TIP: Substituting a Form in Outlook 2002 <br /><br />Q: Does the forms substitution tool work with Outlook 2002? <br /><br />A: The Outlook 2000 Forms Administrator tool <br />
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/journ/outtoolsintro.htm<br />updates the registry but puts the changes in the Outlook 2000 registry subkeys. To make form substitutions for Outlook 2002, use the tool as you usually do, then click Export Saved Changes. Edit the exported .reg file to replace Office\9.0 with Office\10.0 in the value names. You can then run that .reg file to make the forms substitution for Outlook 2002 and distribute the file to users who want to make a similar change. <br /><br />---------------------------------<br />RECEIVED THE FLASH FROM A FRIEND?<br />The TechNet Flash is full of in-depth technical information that we encourage subscribers to forward to friends and co-workers.
