I am running Crystal Reports 2008. I want to be able to automatically refresh a report every 10 minutes and send the updated output to a television screen in a hallway to keep employees updated. Does anyone know how to achieve this?
Go to the File menu and make sure that "Save Data With Report" is turned off

The title pretty much describes it. At seemingly random times while I am browsing in Firefox my Zoom desktop application will start and show the message
Invalid meeting ID
Please check and try again.
Simultaneously, a new tab will automatically open to my organization's authentication web page. Something seems to be trying to start a non-existent Zoom meeting, but I have no idea what or why. I am not signed into Zoom, Zoom was not running in the background, I have the setting "Start Zoom when I start Windows" unchecked, and I have no scheduled upcoming meetings at the moment.
I have googled every combination of terms I can think of, but the only potentially relevant item I found was a question from 2017 on Mozilla's support site:

Every time I open Firefox it opens a nonexistent Zoom Meeting where it tells me the host has not joined the meeting -- takes too much time. Help!
There is no reason I can find that a Zoom Meeting window opens every time I open Firefox -- I even signed up for Zoom so I could make sure it didn't show I had any meetings scheduled recurring or otherwise. But having done that and rebooted -- a Zoom Meeting window opens asking me to join a nonexistent recurring meeting where it indicates it is waiting for the host to initiate the meeting. Takes forever (it seems). How can I end this problem?

In Firefox 56 and earlier, with the old "new tab page," sometimes a tile from history would trigger an odd behavior such a message that Firefox wanted to launch a different application. The approach to that was to remove any tiles that might trigger the unwanted behavior. I don't know if that is an issue with the new "Activity Stream" page, or whether you have that page as your home page.
Example old thread: Why does another application launch when I open a new tab? Plug-in is in Firefox and I can't get ride of it.
This question seems to match my own, but the reply blames an old version of Firefox (I am using Firefox 102.0.1) and the new-tab page (which I don't think I had open when this problem occurred). However, based on the thread's suggestion, I deleted every page from my browser history containing the term "zoom" and I'll wait to see if doing so resolved the bug.
(P.S. I apologize to the mods for the zoom-sdk tag. I can't find an existing tag relating to general Zoom questions. Please feel free to edit if you have better tag ideas.)
So far, removing any Zoom-related tiles on the new tab page and deleting any page from browser history mentioning "zoom" seems to have worked. The only question that remains is why this is still a bug in Firefox after so many updates.
Hey there program enthusiasts!
I work from home using a website platform which you can update your status in ("Available","Busy","Logged out" etc.) Once in a while (the time varies) the status turns automatically to "Logged Out". The change comes with a notification on the screen.
What I need is a program that will change the status back to Available whenever it's Logged out. My thinking is that I need 2 components:
A program that constantly reads the screen and checks the status
A program that moves the pointer and clicks once on the status menu and then on the Available option.
Is this possible on windows 10?
I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks fellows!
I have an MS Access form that checks for certain records in a form timer event.
When it finds records it prints a report to the default Windows printer.
The problem is the Windows print status/progress window pops up (You know, the one that goes Printing page x of (document name)). And it, of course, has a cancel button.
But that progress window is interfering with normal form operations. I want to print in the background (silent printing?) without showing that progress window.
Any way to do that in the printer settings or from vba or other?
No, that's by design.
But you could move this timer form and the report to another database and run this minimized - your current application could open this automatically when launched.
I am creating a prototype web app using Oracle Weblogic/ADF. I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0.
I have a basic application with one entity object and one view object. One of the requirements I is that once data is changed it must be digitally signed. I am using a applet/servlet based solution to get this done.
Once a user decides to edit an entry in the table they are taken to a page that shows a two-column form layout. On this page is a button that, when clicked, brings up an ADF dialog window. On this page there is a button called "Sign". Once the user clicks the "Sign" button some JavaScript executes that communicates with the embedded applet. This embedded applet in turn communicates with a servlet and returns a string representing a signature. This process is task-flow based.
The issue I am having is that for SOME users (IE 8, Win 7 Enterprise) once they click the "Sign" button on the popup they are shown the following popup:
If they click "OK", the page reloads and when they click "Sign" again the process repeats resulting in a loop. Initially I thought the alert was coming from IE, but upon further research it seems that the alert is coming from ADF. I have NO idea WHY they are getting this message as there are NO dependent dialogs. I have tried setting the "uncommitted data warning" to off for the document but I still get the same popup. Also the message ONLY appears for SOME users running IE 8 on top of Windows 7.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get this popup to stop and/or WHY it is happening?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated as I am stumped.
Thanks.
disable the uncommitted data warning property on af:document

Is it possible to use a certain image for a loading screen when it's the first time the app is ever opened, and then after that use a different image for the loading for all visits after that?
Basically I'm creating about 10 files (not large in size) when the app is first launched and I wanted to display a message to the user so they don't think that the app normally takes more than a second to load up. I know I can display a popup on the home screen, but I have an animation that fires when you go to the home screen and also I need those files created before the user arrives there. Any ideas? Or maybe a different view point that I didn't mention?
You can't change the splash screen. Maybe you should rethink how your initial 10 files are created, and take Paul's suggestion of showing a popup control while you do the work, or better yet, offloading it into the background? I guess it depends if your created files are required for something in the UI
--edit--
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I favour a background thread doing the work while you have a popup control displayed to the user. It would allow you to give the user feedback on what is actually going on. If your popup says something like "Preparing this application for its first run...", and then shows a progress bar that updates when each file is created, the user is getting feedback on exactly why the app is taking so long to load the first time. Otherwise they may think "This app is very slow, I wonder if there is a better one out there"
I'm not sure if this is what you were thinking when you said "Popup", but you could create a full screen Popup (in the System.Windows.Controls.Primitive sense of Popup) that completely covers your main UI so that the user can't see it.
Your temporary loading UI would be defined as a UserControl described in XAML/C# in the same way as a normal PhoneApplicationPage.
When your files are ready and you close the popup you should send a message to the View (i.e. .xaml.cs) of your main page that will cause the animation to be replayed with all contents visible.
