FTP Task not saving password in designer

I am using CTP 15 and have created an extremely simple FTP task. I enter three pieces of information:

- Server URL
- Username
- Password

Very simple. I click "Test Connection" and it succeeds. If I click "Ok", then try to re-open the connection manager and test again it fails. The password text box is blank, but the properties window in BIDS for the FTP Connection Manager shows "*******" for the password.

This seems like a very basic problem, anyone else have any ideas? My FTP task that utilizes this FTP Connection Manager also fails with a "missing password" type error message.

Thanks,
Josh

This is true of passwords in any connection manager UI... once they're set, the runtime prevents its retrieval so the UI doesn't know if there's a password or not.

regards|||Even though it doesn't appear in the Connection Manager, you should be able to see it in asterisk in the properties sheet for that connection manager.|||

The problem of this is it works fine in Visual Studio execution. But after deploying in server the execution reveals that the password is missing. How can I pack the password in the deployment file.

Thanks,

FRX reports

I understand the designer in Reporting Services can import Access reports.
Today a customer asked me if it's possible to import reports on Great Plains
data written using FRX. Anybody know?
JimJames,
The FRX file is a Visual Fox file which is really a table. The format is
well documented but I am not aware of a direct conversion tool at this time.
I would suggest a repost on the Visual Fox newsgroup
microsoft.public.fox.vfp.reports.printing.
Best Regards,

FrontPage/SharePoint Designer Search and Replace Fills Transaction

When we run a search and replace across all pages in one our web site (104
pages), my transaction log on the SQL Server grows by about 200 MB of space!
This has caused major system headaches - the transaction log fills, causes
IIS to fail, causing my clients using FP / SP Designer not to be able to save
the files they have opened / edited.
That database is 400MB in size while the Transaction Log is now over 6GB.
and the minimum Log is now 6GB too. We can't keep having this log grow
exponential like this.
Also - In the event log, I see that there a couple of 'webparts' that are
failing on the global search and replace: WSS 2.0 Error: Failing in loading
assemble Customer.WebParts, Version=1.0.2.4.
We're running SQL Server 2000 SP4, on a Windows 2003 Server with WSS 2.0
using the latest versions of FrontPage and SharePoint Designer.
Thoughts?
After posting this, I started to search the WSS / Sharepoint forums (instead
of just SQL Server) and see that this is a common issue and found a variety
of ways to correct this.
