3. Click on the same.
4. You will find a list of “prohibited” extensions in the right.

The Prince of Frogtown

Author doesn’t pull punches, but his voice smooths out some of the pain. Last couple of chapters are pretty tough.

Ike - An American Hero

Underwhelming - not much info on the development of the interstate highway system. Not much new on the WWII years. Some interesting info on Panama and time with MacArthur.

The task “Script Task” cannot run on this edition of Integration Services. It requires a higher level edition.

It turns out that you need to have SSIS installed on the machine where you are running the app, as dtexec is not a client tool, like dts was.

IE6 does not support position:fixed

There are some script workarounds that might resolve IE6 not rendering position:fixed, but I just changed to position:absolute.

Fiddlers

Classic McBain - “The one thing he couldn’t stand was a smart ass nun.”
