Lock Report Header

I know this question was asked back in 2004 and haven't seen any updates on
it...
Is it possible to lock the report column headers - as in Excel - so as you
scroll, you'll always see the column title/header?
Thanks!!I believe you are looking for either "repeat header on each page" or "header
should remain visible when scrolling" on the table properties.

Locating strange updates

Is there any simple way in EM to put an audit on a field to see when
and what is updating it ?

Not in EM, but you can do it in SQL Profiler. Of course the profiler will
need to be constantly running to perform this action.
The only other way is to create an UPDATE trigger on the table and have it
spit out the data somewhere. You can gather information from the System
functions like SUSER_SNAME and so forth in the trigger.

Local database and updates

I'm reviewing an application that uses a local database for a .NET
application. In adding logic to automatically update components of the
application (content files, assemblies updates, and data updates) I found
that the original design locks the database while the app is running. This
means that the updater code needs to detect a runnning instance of the .NET
app and signal it to close down before it can apply database updates. This
makes it impossible to apply updates automatically.
It seems to me that tightly linking the database to the .NET app is
unnecessary. I see no reason why the database cannot be updated while the
application is running. The updater itself could lock portions of the
database during updating to prevent corruption and then signal the
application to refresh its in-memory data once the updates have been
committed.
I'd appreciate any feedback from others about this issue as I want to be
sure that I've thought through all the possibilities.
TIA.

I obviously do not know the application and the archithecture behind it, but
your words seems to indicate a need for single access to the data...
I will not enter a discussion about the requirements theme selves as, again,
I'm completely ignorant about theme, and I think you have to deal with the
producer(s) for more details...
you say

the application must support a way to be notified of such an underlying
manipulation of data to allow that, an this could imply an architectural
modification... and this could be a potential big deal, depending on the
original design..
