Do you have time for one more question. Everything was going along fine
until this last entry.

This one works
=IF(MIN([Due Date],Supplier)=[Due Date],DATEDIF([Due
Date],Supplier,"D"),-(DATEDIF(Supplier,[Due Date],"D")))

This one does not
=IF(MIN([Due Date],Approved)=[Due Date],DATEDIF([Due
Date],Approved,"D"),-(DATEDIF(Approved,[Due Date],"D")))

If I take and copy the top one into the calculation it works. If I go back
in and change the Supplier for Approved then I get the #NUM! Error again.
It will calculate positive numbers. I do not get a syntax error. I cannot
figure out what the difference is.

Never mind I found the error. It was the fact that one of the columns it
was calculating from was done as Text and not Date.
Thanks again for your help.

I have a client who has virtualized their MOSS environment in order to test
the impact of SP2 (yes, it is that far behind).

Obviously they don't want to take the production box offline, so I'm having
to get creative on their behalf. They've installed SQL Server on the local
VM and put all the SP database backups there, so the farm can exist on the
one virtual server. I've run the config wizard, told it to disconnect, and
then run again and told it to connect to the farm on the local machine, and
said yes, host the CA website here.

After all that, though, my request for Central Admin still redirects me to
the production box. Also, the portal site collection throws a "Cannot
connect to the config database" error (it seems to be using a different
domain account, and when I try to change the default DB server, I get an
unknown error).

The "Servers in Farm" list still shows the production box as a member of
this particular farm. I have a feeling that some of the problems would be
easy to fix if I could remove it, but I'm a little leery of doing so on the
off chance that it could mess up the production environment.

Any suggestions?

TIA,

Peter

I would setup a SQL Alias on the box (production db name - now pointing to local db). Once that is confirmed, then you can check and change other settings as you will not be hitting the current production db.

Central Admin - you might have to change the alternate access mapping.

Thanks, Steve. One problem, though: how do I change AAM if I can't get to
CA?

I think that should be fine once the SQL alias is in place. You may need to run through the product and config wizard again and have it set the CA to the current single server.
