Upgrading a Cliq XT…when Motorola won’t
Like many Cliq XT owners (TMO), I got tired of everyone in the world getting a newer OS except me…even the Cliq owners got 2.1 this past month, but Cliq XT didn’t. Yeah, well, enough of that crap.

Case expressions may only be nested to level 10
I was working on a rather lengthy query that used a typical CASE WHEN THEN ELSE END sequence, but it kept telling me “Case expressions may only be nested to level 10”, even though I wasn’t nesting or doing something unique with them, just like this: case when field1 = ‘data’ then ‘data1’ when field1 = ‘datax’ then ‘data2’ when field1 = ‘datay’ then ‘data3’ when field1 = ‘dataz’ then ‘data4’ when field1 = ‘dataa’ then ‘data5’ when field1 =…

It would hit the page for you to build the JIT, which would allow all subsequent visits to the site(s) to load quickly as expected. Well, that doesn’t work in SharePoint 2010….but this does! SP 2010 Warmup Script For me, I didn’t see a huge improvement like I did when I…
