It's a standalone laptop, on which client and server are both installed. As noted, the setup worked when first installed and only stopped working when I changed countries (and therefore network address and time zone).

You may be hitting the operating system limit on the number of subdirectories in a directory. Think about cleaning up the project - delete unneeded jobs, or move some jobs to a different project.

WHEN do you want the count? It's available while the job is running as the system variable @INROWNUM.

Search DSXchange. You need to be connected to a network that can serve IP addresses or you need to use a loopback adapter. How to do the latter will be revealed in your search.

That's not something that's under my control but, as I understand it, that price was purely an introductory offer and won't be repeated. The current price is still less than 30c per day.

One of the difficulties of not h...

Because you can't do rank until all rows have been processed. That's why it's not an ETL function. ETL is best performed as a stream of data.

They are alerts, and they are OK. If you don't want them to be warnings use a message handler.
