    - 1 or many ASP files?? Hi All Just trying to clear my cluttered mind and wondering if you can help. IYHO, if I have say 10 different product categories that extract their data from say 10 text files or an Access DB, is it more efficient to have an ASP for each product category to query each section or 1 which parses the lot?? The only reason I am asking is for multiple user access I have this strange belief that if 1 page is getting requested and queried by 10 simultaneous visitors then 'spreading the load' on different pages would help. Is my logic correct or do the ISP fairies have this in hand?? Many thanks. Rgds Laphan Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270434

    - Tab-delimited or CSV - Performance difference??? Hi All Due to using a combo of OLEDB/ADO/ASP and JavaScript I was having trouble reading in CSV data so I converted my client's web site to use tab-delimited instead. Better for me, but client is adamant that their site's recent timeout problems are since I converted to this tab format?? God forbid, but can the end user actually be technically right? Is there an issue using tab files rather than csv?? I noticed that if you use csv you don't need a schema.ini, but you do if you use tab files. Does Microsoft think everybody uses CSV and work better with this format?? Regards Laphan Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270432

    - Memory Usage By dllhost.exe Under IIS Hello. I'm new to the news group and new to IIS. I'm trying to help a client deal with memory usage issues in IIS. My client is running IIS 5.0 on a Win2K box and is running ASP scripts that both talk to an Active X Control written in C++ as well calls directly into the ADO layer. It seems that basic interaction with the ADO layer and Active X Control causes the dllhost.exe process to use more and more memory until the machine becomes wedged. It seems that removing the interaction with the database and with the Active X control helps significantly, but not completely. I can make memory usage go up indefinitely just by concatenating strings together in a loop. Once the loop ends, the memory doesn't come back, even after 15 or 20 minutes of idle time. Switching to VB Script from Java Script doesn't seem to help. I'd like to know if there's a book out there or a reasonably up to date web site that discusses best coding practices for making database calls via ADO from IIS approved scripting languages. My client's ASP scripts seem to be matching the examples I've found online. The scripts close connections after each call; the scripts set all record set and connection objects to nothing/null when complete. I'd like to know also what constitutes reasonable ADO usage from an ASP script. One of my client's pages performs an outer query and then varying nested queries while processing the records of the outer loop. The result is potentially thousands of ADO queries. Trying to display this page in particular can easily eat up 300 megabytes and that memory never comes back. I'd like to know also if it's enough to set a handle to an Active X Control to nothing/null when one finishes with it in the scripting language when one finishes with it or if something additional is required to ensure that its resources are reclaimed. I've spent a lot of time searching on Google for others that may have run into this and found some horror stories as well as success stories. This leads me to believe that we probably have either a configuration problem or our scripts are missing some key step or steps for releasing resources.

    - conditional sql statements I have a shopping cart that I want to load items in that come from a huge scrolling form. In other words, when someone clicks on a category in our site, it scrolls out all the items in that category, maybe 30 or more. I have text boxes next to each item so somone can enter a number, then press submit form button at the bottom of the form, and send those slections to the shopping cart. The problem is, many of the text boxes are empty, yet they are still being sent to the shopping cart as a quatity of 0. Is there a way for sql to ignore a value if the variable is zero, or only get the sql statement to run if a variable is > 0? Thanks, Bill Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270373

    - "forced" download from ASP Hi All, First of all I'm mostly an MS Access guy (and novice learning MSSQL guy) and put on this project because of personnel changes, etc and because of db experience. I've only been doing this for about 2 months. I need to know how to "force" a download (patch) from an ASP page. I am developing an on-line internet registration page for students in the Residence Halls. Part of this project is getting their Res Hall/room number/port, MAC address, operating system, etc. This has been fairly straight forward and works reasonably well (my opinion). However since the Blaster/Welchia crap and the way they have been bouncing around our network with everybody coming back off summer vacation, 2 days ago the powers that be have decided to "force" the Blaster fix and then the patch to the students as they register for the internet. We are using the Symantec W32.Blaster.Worm Fix Tool 1.0.0 (our file is named patch.vbs). I don't know enough and quite frankly have a very limited amount of time in which to implement this. I've been to ASPFAQ, serverobjects.com and others, but it always seems that I miss or can not find or just plain don't understand the process. A lot of my questions are quite basic, I know, but.......... Where exactly is the best place to place the worm fixer file? How do I call it and get it to run on the students machine? I've downloaded ASPExec from serverobjects.com, but am unsure I have it set up correctly as I don't get notepad to show (per the example asp page) and I've registered the aspexec.dll and set the WWW service to interact with the desktop (per aspexec.txt). Is there a method of determining if the fix was run or allowed to finish running? ....because if they don't I'm told to not allow them to register and therefore restrict them to only a "closed" default vlan. Anything else I missed? (I always feel that way.) I'm sure there is more, but as I implied, I don't really know enough to ask the right questions. Any help down the path of "force" feeding will be certainly appreciated as we have students beginning to return this weekend. Thank you. gdr -- Gary D.

I recently was asked to make a form which will store info in an Access database, and thought it would be a good chance to learn how to use Dreamweaver MX's ASP capabilities.

    - Stumped - page executes twice sometimes (even thrice occasionally!) I have a web form "Page1.asp" and it reads data from a database, does some calculations, and displays the records in pages. Works fine. I have a button that displays on the page, defined as <input type="button" onClick="OutputData()"> The OutputData() function is a javascript function that simply does this: window.location = "Page1.asp?Flag=1"; This "re-executes" Page1.asp, but with a flag set in the query string. The logic in Page1.asp writes the data to a file when this flag is set instead of paging it to the browser - it sends NOTHING to the browser when that flag is set. At the end of the data file generation, Page1.asp does a Response.Redirect to Page2.asp, passing it the filename in the query string. Page2.asp uses a COM object (DLL) we wrote in VB6 to further manipulate the data and the end result is a PDF file that gets sent to the browser through Response.BinaryWrite from an ADO binary stream. Page2.asp outputs no HTML itself - only the PDF data. What has me stumped is that Page2.asp is executing _multiple times_. Usually it executes twice, but sometimes it executes 3 times. I can tell because the COM object it uses writes some info to a log file. I clear the log file, click on the button on Page1.asp _one_ time, and the log shows the COM object being executed 2 or 3 times in a row. I cannot figure out why. There are no loops in Page2.asp - it is a fairly simple ASP script, no functions or sub's - just about 20 lines of script. Page1.asp is definitely not redirecting to it multiple times. I put some code in Page1.asp to log a timestamp each time it redirects to Page2.asp and it only does it *once* after I click the button. I put some code in Page2.asp to increment a Session variable and it does increment it multiple times after a click, so it is definitely Page2.asp that is executing multiple times. I did the same in Page1.asp and it increments only one time per click. Any ideas why this might be happening? Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270298

When the app was on test box all was well but when I moved it to production, the page failed and IE returned an error saying that the page was not available The lines of code that cause the error appear to be: in test I have Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=weberport1.xls" Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" On the production server in a secure environment the same lines produce the error "Page not available" If I Comment out the first line the page works fine and I get he option to save the page as a excel spreadsheet. e.g 'Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=weberport1.xls" Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" Does having the application on a secure environment prevent pages from being returned with a content-disposition Has anyone seen this error before,? is there a special feature on IIS for secure links?

    - Finding filenames using wildcards I have an interesting challenge. I have a client that is putting pictures into a single folder on the web server. The files are specific in that the first 5 characters of the filename are the same ORDER#. The challenge is simply to find all the filenames with the initial 5 characters being input on an HTML form. That way I can establish links to each one of the pictures on the results page. So for instance if Order # 12345 was input the ASP page using I guess the filesystemobject should find all files that start with 12345 and return them. So the page could show 12345_1a.jpg / 12345_1b.jpg / 12345_4a.jpg / 12345_12.jpg / etc., etc. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

    - True answer re timeouts Hi Guys I've been using text files for Tab-Delimited/ADO/ASP sites so that users can update and display their products lists through my system with relative ease. Only problem is that for the last few months or so, this system has been generating loads of timeouts. ISP has said that I should be looking to upgrade my system, as it is the mechanics of it that are creaking under the strain. My queries are: a) Which REALLY performs better OLEDB DSN-less or ODBC DSN-less? b) If I convert the system to use 1 Access DB rather than 50-odd tab-delimited text files will this REALLY perform better in relation to timeouts? To give you some idea of the problems, the site can viewed by going to www.bardwells.co.uk and clicking the Product List link. I just can't understand it because the pages on the whole are very lean and zippy (esp. ADSL), but its these exact same Broadband users who seem to have more trouble with timeouts than dial-up ones. We're not talking Marks & Sparks here, but they do get quite a few visitors. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Rgds Laphan Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270247

    - GetRows Mystery I'm facing an odd behavior in using the GetRows Method. I'm not sure what's causing it because it has been working fine until now. I have a sproc that returns 1 row. I display the RS info on the page using a DO-WHILE loop. All fields have values. I then rerun the same sproc, but this time extract the values into an array using getrows. I loop through the array and display the content of each element on screen. However, from the 14 fields, fields 0, 1, 12, 13, & 14 have data and all else are empty. This is all done in a simple test script, nothing fancy. I checked carefully that i didn't mix index or anything else silly and well as have someone else look at it. I know this is a longshot, but has anyone seen this behavior before? Maybe some component installed is causing this problem. Just thought I'll ask. Thanks for any info.

    - DTS Package using Excel Spreadsheets I will start off by giving you a background of the process I am taking. The nature of my DTS package is that I recieve an Excel Spreadsheet, run it through the DTS Package applying validation to the records, create an excel file that contians the records that do not pass the validation, send this Excel file back to the person who sent me the original spreadsheet. They will send the Excel Spreadsheet back once they correct the records. Then the process starts over and keeps going until there are no records left. The problem I have ran into is that I have to create an excel file using an ActiveX script, the DTSPump will not, as far as I am aware of, create an Excel file automatically. So, I have created a ActiveX script that will create an Excel object using Set objExcel=CreateObject("OWC10.spreadsheet") . I do not add any data to the spreadsheet at this point, just the column headings. A few steps later in my DTS package I attempt to use a data pump and process information from a table into the Excel worksheet that was just created. However, when I choose the file and click on the OK button it throws an erro "The External table is not in the expected format". The problem lies in that I HAVE to use Excel files to complete this DTS package, but the excel files that I create are not compatible with the Excel 97-2000 connections in DTS. The object that I have created using the ActiveX script shows as an Excel Spreadsheet in My Computer and will open with Microsoft Excel. I have also tried to use the other DTS Connect formats for Excel such as 5.0 and 6.0, these did not work either. Does anyone know how I can work around this problem? If I need to clear things up or provide more information just let me know. Thanks, Jeff * * * Sent via DevBuilder http://www.devbuilder.org * * * Developer Resources for High End Developers.

I tried running the asp query on the machine that contains the LDAP server, and it worked fine, returning the correct no of records. I subsequently moved the page to anotehr machine on the network, but here, it gives me a recordcount of 0 when i try running it. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I read somewhere that EXchange Server and IIS have to be on the same physical machine to use the ADSDSO object. is that true? is there any other way to work around that then? Any help would be appreciated. Im attaching my code below. <% Set Conn=CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Provider="ADSDSOObject" Conn.Open "ADs Provider" Qvar="<LDAP://daa21366ads001>;((objectClass=user)(showinaddressbook=CN=Global Address List,OU=Microsoft Exchange,OU=CMC,OU=corp-i,OU=Organizations,o=corp-i,o=corp));*;subtree" Set rs=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") rs.Open QVar,Conn if rs.supports(adApproxPosition) then if rs.Supports(adBookmark) then Response.Write(rs.RecordCount) end if end if %> Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270225

    - ASP WebClassRuntime and Windows2000 SP4 Problem Hi All I have different WebApplications running on Windows2000 Servers without problems since years now. Since the Administrators recently started to install Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 the WebApps doesn't work anymore. The First request of a page returns the Error "An internal exception has occurred" thrown by the WebClass Runtime, all other page requests doesn't receive any response at all (IE seams to "hang"). I found two Knowledge Base Articles (KB821546 (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;821546) and KB304071 - (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304071)), but it doesn't help me to solve the Problem (It is no Security or Language specific Problem as described there). Has anyone a solution for that problem? Is there a newer WebClass Runtime (MSWCRUN.dll) than 6.0.88.4 contained in VB6 SP5? Thanks Andy Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270220

    - can't login! - authentication prob. Hi, Can anyone help. I have a folder on my website that has 'anonymous access' and 'basic authentication' disabled, and requires 'intergrated Windows authentication'. This used to work fine, but all of a sudden it won't let me in! . The login box appears, I have checked the username, password and domain are fine (I can still log directly in to the server with them) but I can't get access! and after I've tried 3 times I just get redirected to the: 'You are not authorized to view this page' page. Same thing happens even if I try using basic authentication. Does anyone know why this is happening? (running windows 2000 server if this helps) Thanks, Nicky Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270206

    - Waiting for db to insert record? Hi all Just a quick question more about the flow of an asp page. IF I have code as below: - MyDBConnection.Execute "Insert Record Into A Table" MyRecordset.Open "Retreive the same record from the table" Is there any chance that the connection process (Inserting the record) will not have completed by the time I try to retrieve the record. I.E. will the asp page wait for the insert to complete before continuing to open it (the next command in the page). Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270205

    - II6 on Server2003 asp 0134 problem I just started a new 2003 with II6 and can't get .asp documents to function. I have enabled asp support. I copied the web tree from a working IIS NT/4 server. The following error message is logged in the IIS log: 2003-08-28 09:52:41 10.0.0.107 GET /dplogon.asp |1|ASP_0134|Invalid_ProgID_attribute 80 - 10.0.0.107 Mozilla/4.0+ (compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.2;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 500 0 0 I have changed the home folder to my own. If I set it back to the default: \InetPub\wwwroot and copy the .asp file into hat folder, then I don't get the problem. I have chacked all possible access restrictions and even propagated the \InetPub\wwwroot security parameters to my own home "root" folder. Non .asp files works fine.

    - ASP behavior changes on different client machine I know this is actually impossible, but didn't know how else to describe it: I have created a Content Management System for a client using ASP connecting to a Access database. It doesn't do any fancy things: INSERT, UPDATE, etc. I also use ASPUpload to upload images onto the server. When I test my CMS from my own machine and others, it all works fine. However, testing it from my client's machine, the Updating or Inserting of data ends up returning a 'page not available' error (the asp page calls itself when the form is submitted) and the changes to the database are not being executed. I really can't figure out why this is happening. Could it be a setting on the client's browser? Or a firewall problem? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks! Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270192

    - A Non ASP Guy Needs Help with a Solution Hi there, I'm not an ASP guy and I'm in need of finding out a solution to a problem that's ASP related. A site that I'm helping someone migrate to a new box (currently internal and now going to an ISP), was written pretty poorly. A script, written in ASP/VB, runs once an hour to check the database for some data based on that time and then sends out some emails. The bad part about this, the script uses a meta refresh to recall the script every hour, meaning, it's not called by some cronjob/atjob and a browser needs to ALWAYS be open on the box to call the script. So my question is...without having to go rewrite code that I'm not familiar with, how can we best approach a solution? It's on an IIS box. I'm assuming there's no way I can schedule some sort of job that calls ASP by command line and runs the script, every hour? Any input on a solution to this would be so much appreciated. Thanks! -Mike Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270175

    - Query build I am having trouble with structuring my query for searching using "LIKE". I return no records with my current SQL statement. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is the string I am sending through ASP using VBScript as my language. Other piece: strClass = Request("SiteLOCCode") String from ASP page: "SELECT * FROM LDSWSNames WHERE WSName LIKE '" & strClass & "' " Output string from ASP: SELECT * FROM LDSWSNames WHERE WSName LIKE 'KYLEXAD01' Tag: problem running aspx Tag: 270173

Anytime I try to load an aspx file in my browser from my
iis server or try to run the debugger in VS7 web project
to debug aspx, I get Server Application Error.

In the event log it says this:
The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'. The
error was 'The specified metadata was not found.

Does anybody know what this means and how to fix it?

I'd suggest a DotNet group on ASPX issues.
This one in ASP so you'll get better/more responses there.
