    Memory Test Program

    I'm having BSOD issues and suspect bad memory on an XP machine. It's not that old - but getting there. Which program is best to test my RAM. I know I had a program that did this but can't find it. It may be that it was so long ago it was lost in upgrades.

    FTP in Explorer Window - Add Network Place Problems

    I used to be able to create a network place for FTP sites - convenient for quick file downloads and uploads with my clients. Now they won't work. I think some settings were changed, but as far as I can tell, it's all the same. I did not change anything. When I add my FTP site - ftp://(my...

    I want to set up a text field so that a leading zero is automatically entered in the data. The field will have 2 characters. If you enter 1 the it will default to 01 if you enter 23 is will just be 23. I know I've seen this before and seems like something that is often needed. Any suggestions.
