    - Checking links Hi all win 2k pro sql server 2k asp - vbscript I got the below code from somewhere ages ago. I have a list of links on my site that link to other sites but I want to check if the link is a valid link automatically and if it fails after x checks (checks every 7 days) then to mark the link as a possible broken link the below seems to take ages to process and was wondering if there is a better way to do the below. thanks for any help & tips.

    - query a DB - pass the query to next page I am running a querry on an access database and have set the number of records/page displayed at 20. if there are more than 20 records returned, then 1st page will show the first 20, the next page will show next 20 and so on.... The trouble: the count of total records displayed is correct and the first page is displayed correctly. But when i click on *Next* to go to the next page, all the records of the database get displayed (not the 2nd page of records from the query). here is the demo i put up: http://www.as.pgims.org/query/query.asp Any help?

    - Problem using com object in IIS 4 Hey all, I've been having a weird problem using com objects in IIS 4. I've built a middleware system that can be called with XML requests over HTTP. The request is sent to an ASP page which creates a com object that handles the request. This com object usually calls other asp pages that handle sub functions. This has worked fine, but now I have a new component that is giving me a lot of problems. It's a component that contains a few calls to a SQL db using ADO. It works fine for a while, but then I start getting an error in the backend component. I have very good error handling, so I get an XML response back with the error number and location. I have been able to pin point the line of code that gives the error (5, illegal function call). But it's almost impossible that an error would happen there... The line of code contains an add to a collection. I add a simple variable to a collection. This runs fine for a long time and then I get the error. On my local machine the code works fine. As soon as I plug it into IIS it goes wrong. The error always occurs in the same spot. After this error has occurred, I can no longer use any component that uses my database component. If I leave the machine alone for a while it will pick up again... I'm confused... Thanks, Dirk. Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 272078

    - URL Checker - (One Stage Further) Hello Groups, I have been testing a script I found that checks URL as valid... It uses the XMLHTTP.4.0 object sURL = "http://www.bbc.co.uk" Set obj = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.4.0") on error resume next obj.open "GET", sURL, False obj.send iStatus = obj.Status on error goto 0 this works fine on most URLS, though I do have some problems with redirected URLs, what I have managed to do is do a database select statement outside of the script and check my database of URLs.. This works fine.. My Database of URL are the backend of a search engine I have written, what I was wondering, is instead of me doing a seperate external check of the URLs using the database as above, can I do something like..... When the user clicks on a URL, they have a varable director.asp?url=blar blar blar, this goes to a page that does a redirect to the URL. Is it possible for me to use the XMLHTTP object to do the redirect, and this way would it be possible for me to have the users of my site check the URL by grabbing the value of the statuscode from the XMLHTTP object before it is redirected. I would like to be able to have the links constantly checked by the users rather than me have to manually as above say every month. something like this, if you see below I would be very keen not to make the jump to the URL slower, so once the URL had been checked using XMLHTTP then maybe it would be possible to use the redirect... CLICK ON LINK | CHECK URL EXISTS USING XMLHTTP | UPDATE DATABASE WITH LAST CHECKED TIMESTAMP | REDIRECT TO THE URL I am not sure if any of this is possible, butjust simple I would like the user clicking on the link actually check it for me, and have a column in the database called last_checked TIMESTAMP Graham Mattingley Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 272077

    - Server Application Unavailable I'm new to ASP.Net. I have a very simple application that was working last week. Now I get this message when I try to run it from VS.Net: Server Application Unavailable The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request. Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the system It is only a single page at this point with a few images and labels. I believe IIS is running (version 5.1). I am running Windows XP SP1. I suspect it might have had something to do with installing the latest security patches. Any ideas?

    - unwanted session timeout I have a simple form connecting to an Access database where users log in, fill out the form, and submit. Everything works fine. However, sometimes it takes a user 20 minutes or more to fill out the form. When the user then hits "submit" he is given the login page instead of the response page I have built in. If the user fills the form out in less than 20 minutes or so, it works fine. I have Session.Timeout=720 (2 hours) but this hasn't changed anything. Does anyone know what I'm missing? I'm pretty new at asp so forgive me if it's something simple. Thank you in advance, Rob Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 272032

    - Unpsecified Error with ODBC Connections This happens a lot to my databases. I store them at the root of my developing files, i.e. c:\My Projects\Proj1\database.mdb. Randomly, the security settings on this database will drop to the basic secutiry, myself and SYSTEM. I need IUSR on it so I can access it through my ASP pages... I get errors like this: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. /amr/common/adovbs.inc, line 4 and Provider (0x80004005) Unspecified error /amr/common/adovbs.inc, line 4 and line 4 is this 2 Dim Connect 3 Set Connect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 4 Connect.Open "dsn name" I will reset the permissions, then the ASP script will access the database once, like read or write, then this will happen again. I have to reset the permissions on the database file. Sometimes i'll have to do this 3 or 4 times until the permissions stick. It only happens on a few of my projects, not all of them. Also, what helps at times, is within IIS, to check server extensions. This seems to do something to it to help it to work.

    - ASP Pages will not display I had to restore my server from backup. When I did, I could no longer access any asp pages on my web server. The error says HTTP 500 Internal Server Error. I have turned off friendly HTTP error messages and it gives me less info. All it says is server application error. html or htm pages work fine. I have reinstalled com+ so that I can now access the components services snap-in. When I go to the properties of the website and then into home directory and change the application protection to low the pages display correctly. This makes me think it is a permissions issue with the iwam_machinename user.

Is it possible to create and practically maintain, delete, use, etc.. stored procedures soley from asp (i.e., no GUI or console- like being hosted on Brinkster)? The tutorial on aspfaq.com mentions that stored procedures can be created from asp code- how? Do you just send the stored procedure you'd type into the GUI with oConn.execute() instead? Thanks!

    - NEWBIE: How to create a log file Hello All, I'm new to ASP and am having problems with CDONTS.NewMail not always delivering my mail. Unfortunately, it always seems to fail on a particular recipient, so he's getting steamed! In my code, I create two e-mails, one to an end-user, and one to a sales rep. The e-mail to the user always succeeds, but the email to the sales reps fails about 15-25% of the time. I'm trying to debug the ASP page, and I figure using a log file may be the best way. I want to test the sales rep's newMail object and write to a log file when it fails (IsNull()), but I don't know how to create a log file in ASP. Example: Dim newMail newMail = Server.CreateObject ("CDONTS.NewMail") if(IsNull(newMail) then ' Code to write to a log file goes here ' Record the e-mail info for re-send later ' What goes here else ' Code to create the mail components goes here newMail.Send newMail = nothing end if I know this is super-simple and just need a quick code snippet.

    - protected download of files... I am creating a series of downloadable articles, career tools, spreadsheets, etc. However, some of the content is for "registered" guest. The registrants are stored in a database and logon. I want to ensure that someone registered cannot simply pass someone the path to the files for download. However, I am not creating an actual system user name for the folders where the various documents exist. I don't want someone to logon, retrieve the path to a file, and be able to send that path or return to that path without having to logon. How do I accomplish this? Consider the following: serverroot/registeredcontentfolders would be protected by a single logon name - not accessible via anonymous access. User's logon to site and I auth them with their user name but on the server side, auth with the single account I am establishing for access to the protected folders. Any insight would be appreciated.

    - ASP with MYSQL Sometimes you dread the day you woke up and said that you will become a Computer Engineer. Not that you love being one, but its just one of those days for me. I have extensively worked on ASP, Access And Sql Server, on win 2k. Now the requirements have changed. The DB has to be MySql. Right now, I m working with a Win2k server and running ASP on IIS. That will eventually be run on Linux on Chilli ASP. I dread that day too now. The thing is, I have got The connection between ASP and MySql running after much difficulty, because I suck at DSN connections and all. Now, that its running, I can't seem to get the RecordCount for any recordset I open with MySql. I worked around it to avoid it, but now I m stuck with the Paging problem, cause whenever I try to page a recordset, the following error pops up :- Error Type: ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0CB3) Object or provider is not capable of performing requested operation. /WorldMediaServices/admin/ListCategory.asp, line 102 AND THE REVELANT CODE FOR THE PAGE is :- <% set Res = Server.CreateObject("adodb.recordset") SQL = "select * from A_Categories" if not request("Category") = "0" then SQL = SQL & " where name = '" & request("Category") & "'" end if SQL = SQL & " order by name" Res.open SQL,Application("Conn"),3,2 Res.PageSize = 10 Res.absolutepage = 1 %> Line 102 being the last one.

    - Script language choice I see that ASP allows you to specify the scripting language of your choice - including (if you get the COM object) PERL, REXX and more. That seems pretty good, I think. Out of the box, it supports VBScript and JScript. The question is (and I know that personal preference will come into this) what would you choose to use out of JScript and VBScript? Does one actually have more capability than the other? -- jeremy Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 271992

    - "the link could not be saved" error I have two ASP pages. They basically query a database, and spit out the information as plain text in CSV format. The first has the SQL query hardcoded into it. The second takes a SQL query from a webform. Now, the hardcoded results, I can click "Save Page As" when the results come up and save it as a text file. The other, while it seems to be the same results exactly, gives me an error when I try to save the page locally: "The link could not be saved.

    - Functions vs. subs and role reversal Hi all, First off I know the difference between functions and subs, basically a function returns a value on execution of a code block wheras a sub just executes a code block (more or less). I have found however that if I 'call' a function in the same way as I would a sub the function executes the code as if it were a sub ie: Call openDB 'this is a function which creates a connection object to my database called dbConn which is the available to the rest of my code. openDB is most definitely a function and this method of calling it works perfectly well. My questions are thus: 1) Am I just ignorant of calling procedures? 2) Is it a good idea to call functions like this, or should a sub be a sub and a function be a function? 3) If not a good idea then why not? Any links or thoughts on this 'problem' would be highly appreciated. Colin Mc mahon Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 271978

    - Importing CSV file to VB Script Array I've been working on some coursework that requires the use of an excel spreadsheet and a CSV file to be read into an ASP page and worked with. What I have done is set up an array to store the values from the CSV file and accessed the spreadsheet using an Excel Recordset. For some reason only the first 2 values in the CSV file (stored in the array as the first and last) are comparing properly with values from the spreadsheet. When the comparisons are made I have used a loop to go through all the records in the recordset and then another loop to search the array. If I hard code the values instead of the array values the results are as expected. I've tried making sure all the values are trimmed and preceeded with the "cstr" operation and still no joy. Even when I've written the comparisons to screen it is saying "RGD11 = RGD11 = False" Has any one got any clues as to what is going on??? Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 271970

    - error handling in asp-userfrindly messages hi ... I want to do error handling in my application. I have made a complete application. but when I encounter errors (like mentioned below) I want to do error handling. how can I do it? I mean like in this case I can see if the record is being added duplicate then I can always check for duplicate records and throw a message. but I will face so many errors like this??? do we have a list ..whereby I can get all the error numbers and there meanings and I generate my own user-friendly errors? I hope I am clear..thanks for any suggestion Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again. Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 271968

    - ASP and Excel Hello, in German ASP-Newsgroups nobody had an idea, so I would like to ask the following here: You can simply read the content of an Excel worksheet via ASP by executing a sql-statement like SELECT * FROM [Table1$A:E] That works fine, but how can I search for one special row for example ? I have tried SELECT * FROM [Table1$A:E] WHERE [Table1$D] Like '" & searchstring & "%'; to search a string in column D, but it hadn't worked. Anybody an idea ? Maybe it is a question of the connection drivers ? Should I use the Jet or the Excel drivers ? How the connection-string would look like for the sample above ?

    - Page Unavailable? I have a site hosted on IIS6 by an ISP.

Conn.Execute UPDATE mytable WHERE... RS.Open... read data RS.close - set = nothing Conn.close - set=nothing Response.write data The page is actually 20 pages, the text selected to display is chosen by Select Case request.querystring("p"). It's size is 70k. It works fine on LocalHost, but "The page cannot be found.The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable." appears about 1 time in 10 on the web site. It then appears OK if the Refresh button is clicked. Any ideas why? (only 1 user logged on, so not too much traffic) Thanks in advance Giles Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 271946

    - Inconsistent cookie issue - IIS4 I'm having an inconsistent problem involving cookies. I have attempted to duplicate the OS/browser settings for the remote users in question but I cannot seem to duplicate the problem in any OS (Mac, Linux, Windows). I've gone over and visited one problem site and I couldn't get it to work by playing with security and privacy settings in MSIE. Obviously there is a setting somewhere but I can't find it. I can duplicate the problem by commenting out the ASP code that sets a particular cookie. I also didn't see the cookie get set on the problem system when I was trouble-shooting. I can't have the problem system with me when I code though. :( I won't post the entire project, but here are the parts that seem to be central to the problem... <% Response.Expires=-1 Response.AddHeader "Pragma", "no-cache" response.cookies("epeid") = value '40 characters response.cookies("epeid").Expires = dateadd("n", 7, date() & " " & Time()) response.redirect redirectURL %> It works fine on my systems. It redirects on the problem systems, only they act like the cookie doesn't exist. When I asked the computer to prompt me for each cookie I never saw epeid. On my system when I ask for a prompt it just stalls on that particular cookie. The above code is executed before any headers are written. Thanks for any advice! -- Mike Tag: 255 limit of field size Tag: 271935

hi there

I'm creating a database site and using access. I've created a number of
fields i.e date, time, description, cost
The only problem is that the description info is larger than the 255
character limit imposed by access. How can I solve this one?

Thanks in advance

Either change the field type to memo or increase the size of the field

The only way to pass the 255 limit in Access is to make it a memo
I would suggest using two tables linked with a key, separating the memo
field(s) from the other data. This will increase index performance and
querying on the data when the bucket gets large.
