Drupal - How to display webform node in a block?

While building a site in Drupal 6.x, I had a requirement to display a contact us form box in all the pages of the site - except, on the Main Contact Us Form page(ofcourse, you wouldnt want and extra contact us box sticking!). I started by creating a new content type using the WebForm module. I added fields like firstname, lastname, emailaddress, company url and message and saved it.

The idea was to stick the form in a block and place it on a content region and configure it to show on all pages except admin pages. But, I was stuck on how to display the webform node in a block.

Error when Installing SQL Server 2008 R2 Management Studio

Yesterday, I downloaded and tried installing the 64bit version of the Sql Express Mangement Studio, but I received the below error message   Another version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 has been detected on this system that must be updated to SP1. Please update all Visual Studio 2008 installations to SP1 level, by visiting Microsoft Update This message was particularly baffling since my laptop was a new build and I had installed VS 2010 only. On further investigation I found that one of the software installation that I did had installed VS 2008 components. The Add Remove programs in Control panel wasn't helpful. I used the VS2008 uninstall tool from microsoft site http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=105801 This removed the VS2008 instance completely. I reran the setup for Management Studio and all worked well. To do it manually try http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joy/archive/2008/10/21/how-to-remove-visual-studio-2008-manually.aspx Hope it works out for you..
