Remove Decimal Points

I have the following summary string used in a Group Footer
=Count(Fields!Title.Value) &" Opportunities worth: " &
Format(Sum(Fields!Estimated_Value.Value),"C")
it gives the proper results
7 Opportunities worth $750.60
How can I remove the decimal points from the formatting?How about Format(Sum(Fields!Estimated_Value.Value),"C0")

remove character from string

Hi I am filling a table with a select statement and one of the columns
(Time1data)returned from the select statement looks like 10:30, it is a
character type. The table I am trying to put it in is expecting 1030 and is
character 4 type. Just wondering if anyone knows how to remove the : as part
of the select statement?
I tried select Right (Time1data,4) but this just gets the right 4 characters.
Thanks.

Hi Paul,
You can use REPLACE, like this:
SELECT REPLACE(Time1data, ':', '')
FROM ...

Remove all non digit characters from some string

Hello.
How can I write some stored procedure or function to which I will pass the
string and it will return me only numbers from my string?
Exactly I need to remove all non digit characters from some string.
Tank you.
You could write an extended stored proc in a dll...dont know if this best
solution though

If you have a fixed set of characters to remove i.e., like with a phone
number you could do something like this:
DECLARE @.TELEPHONENUMBER VARCHAR(25)
SET @.TELEPHONENUMBER = '(503)999-1851'
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@.TELEPHONENUMBER,' (',''),')',''),'
',''),'-','')

This might not be the most efficient way of doing it but it works :-)
DECLARE @.InputString varchar(32)
DECLARE @.OutputString varchar(32)
DECLARE @.i int
SET @.InputString =3D 'ABC123!=A3$456'
SET @.i =3D NULLIF(PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',@.InputString),0)
WHILE @.i IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
SET @.OutputString =3D isnull(@.OutputString,'') +
SUBSTRING(@.Inputstring, @.i, 1)
SET @.i =3D @.i +
NULLIF(PATINDEX('%[0-9]%',SUBSTRING(@.InputString,@.i+1,len(@.InputString))) ,0)
END
SELECT @.OutputString -- This gives '123456'
I would normally use a auxilary numbers table instead of the loop, but
didn't have time to go through that in this example.

Remote MSDE Connection string?

For a SQL Server 2000 connection string I usualy use the following format:

server=somewhere.com;uid=sa;password=sa;database=myDB

or:

server=66.33.11.123;uid=sa;password=sa;database=myDB

However, now I am dealing with a remote MSDE database. What is the format to connect to a remote MSDE database? Is it:

server=<IPADDRESS>\<INSTANCENAME>;uid=sa;password=sa;database=myDB

Where <IPADDRESS> is the Ip address of the remote machine and <INSTANCENAME> is the MSDE instance name. Is this correct? If not, what am I doing wrong?I've used the <MACHINENAME>\<INSTANCENAME> successfully before, but I'm not sure about the <IPADDRESS>\<INSTANCENAME> combo.|||I would only think that I can use the <MACHINENAME>\<INSTANCENAME> way if the machine was on my local area network. But the machine is not, it's on a remote network on the internet. So I couldn't use <MACHINENAME>\<INSTANCENAME> because how would it find that machine unless it had an IP address?|||you need the ip address, and have that msde server accessible through their firewall.|||So,... in other words,.. I was right,... the correct way to access it is:

server=<IPADDRESS>\<INSTANCENAME
correct?

Remote database Connection Error!

Hi,
My Application which is written in VB.Net uses database connection to my
Local Instance of SQL Server Express version.
My connection string is " Data
Source=SM5\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\MgmtSystem.mdf;Initial Catalog=MgmtSystem;Persist
Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=belmont". When I run my application
from the same machine where SQL Server instance is installed, it works fine.
But now I am intending to use it as Client-Server type as database on Server
and application running from another machine. To test this I have deployed
my application on another machine. When I run it I get following error, "An
error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When
connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that
under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote
connections.(provider: SQL Network Interface, error: 26 - Error Locating
Server/Instance specified)(Microsoft SQL Server Error:-1).
To Fix this I did try enabling all protocols(Shared Memory, TCP/IP, Named
Pipe). Then I even started SQL Browser service to enable the instance to be
browsed by client. Then Checked if Hide Instance property. Still no Luck.
I am really going crazy. This is really important for me since we are
migrating from Access to SQL Server Express. Since in Access my application
can have client server
Architecture. Same thing I need to have in SQL Express.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks,

creating exceptions in Windows Firewall for instance of my SQL Server to
unblock the connection.
