What is this?
This is my little corner of the web. I always do searches on the internet to help me on almost anything. I figured I'd try and give back to the knowledge pot. I try not to put my e-mail on web pages to avoid spam, but if you have any questions on this stuff e-mail: alextlm [at] bellsouth.net. Anyway, anything I make added extra effort to find I will add here in hopes it gets added to search engines and people can find the information easier.

I made a separate help section related to the bbs part of the site. Click Here for that.

Cold Fusion
  • Q. I'm running the latest version of Coldfusion MX 7.1 and my Flash Forms won't work. When I try and pull up a flash form it just sits there and validation on a CFForm doesn't work. What's wrong?

    A. For whatever reason your site can't see the CFIDE directory. If you have access to IIS, make sure you have a vitrutal directory in the root of the site that points to the CFIDE folder on your drive. If you don't have access I read here about someone successfully uploading the CFIDE directory to his account.


  • Q. I'm using the Coldfusion Report Builder and I need to make lables for Avery 5160. What are the settings I should use?

    A. Please see my blog post about this issue. You can leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail with any further questions.
Crystal Reports
  • Q. I just installed Crystal Enterprise and when I bring up my report in a browser it defaults to the DHTML. The DHTML browser has no print button on it, and I have to export to PDF. How do I change the default Report?

    A. When viewing the reports in your browser use the init URL parameter. (i.e. http://myserver/myreport.rpt?init=actx) The different parameters will change the default viewer to what you want it to be.

    The options are: actx (ActiveX), nav_plugin (Netscape Plug-in), java (Java using browser JVM), java_plugin (Java using Java Plug-In), html_page (standard HTML page), html_frame (DHTML with frames).


  • Q. How do I get rid of the print button?

    A. I noticed a lot of search hits were coming for this. The one sure fire way to accomplish this is to display your Crystal Report using the code CR generates. First view your report by going directly to it in the browser (i.e. http://myserver/myreport.rpt?init=actx). This should display your report in the browser, enter any values that may be needed. Then hit refresh in the browser. Next just view the source. This is the page that will load your CR. You will see all the options available to you such as Print Button, Prompt on Refresh, etc. If you copy and paste this source and create an actual html, ColdFusion, ASP, etc file, you now have control to change those parameters.
Madden 2002
  • Q. What are the Port settings for Madden 2002?

    A. Madden 2002 is the last year to offer an online franchise mode that you can host. Hopefully EA will step up and include online franchise in Madden 2005. In mean time I needed to find the ports to open so I could host the Franchise. The ports for Madden 2k2 are TCP ports: 9993 and 9994 UDP ports: 1791 and 1793. Just open those on your router or firewall and you should be set.
