Please help -- So stuck now -- Cant connect to sql from external source

Hi all,

I am having real problems allowing a client to connect to sql 2000
through enterprise manager.. I have tried all sorts but to no avail:

From our local network all works fine.. Using the adsl line.. Even if
i try and connect to the external IP and use login details..(As
opposed to connecting local and using windows accounts) I can ping and
telnet the server and port.

The server is behind a firewall so i opened up port 1433 and port
1434(? is it needed).. To replicate the client i took the same laptop
home that i use to connect in the office.. However using the exact
same config on my dial up at home i can ping the server but cannot
telnet onto port 1433.. I think that this is the vital missing step
but do not know hpw to resolve it..

Any ideas anyone

Cheers

pivoting issue

Hi,
I have a expenses table, in this table I have the account, exp_date,
exp_type and amount fields.
I have three exp_type (real, budget and myu) I would like to create a table
with
the fileds account, year_month, real_amount, budget_amount and myu_amount.
I am kind of lost now. How can I do this?
Will it be a query?
do a have a ETL process if yes, how will it work?
Thanks
Search the google archives of microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming group
with the keyword "pivot" and "crosstab" and you will end up with several
solutions posted for similar questions.
