    - Frontpage 2003 / Access 2003 - Automatically open a hyperlink... I am rather new at this, and have tried everything that I know of (which is limted) to get this to work with no success. Basically, on the home page of my web site (index.htm), I want the users to be able to enter into a box an 8-letter code (all alpha characters, not case sensitive) that will search an Access 2003 database in my _private folder in a field named "CustomerCode" for an exact match (it must be an exact match). If that code is found, then I want it to automatically open the correspoding "CustomerURL" field in a separate window. If it is not found, I want a message to come up saying something like "Code not found, please try again." I have created both of these fields in the database as text, so I believe I have that correct. I have searched all over the internet in Google and MSN and MSDN for something like this and have found no working examples to use the code by. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Page views differently in different computers? I've found that while most computers seem to view my page properly regardless of monitor size (ie...no scrolling necessary from side to side), I've run across a few that just dont pull it up properly. Those users are only able to view 2/3 of the page unless they scroll left and right. The browsers are the same so I just dont get it. Tag: Executing CGI Script from Form Tag: 56979

    - How do I set a default image editor for frontpage 2003 I want to use a specific program when I click on an image file in FrontPage 2003 - PSP pops up by default and although I find PSP a useful program it is not the one I want to use to view or edit images in FrontPage. Can someone please explain how I can set another program of my choice to pop up when I click on an image file? I think FrontPage likes PSP because it also edits animated gif's but I don't need this feature. Thanks in advance for your help - I have searched everywhere I can think of for the answer to no avail...

    - include virtual statements for subdomains Hi, I can't get include virtual statements to work for files above or at the same folder level of subdomains. For example: The file with the include statement is here: C:\main site\sub domain\file.asp And the include statement tries to include a file from here: C:\main site\lib\file.inc I can't seem to get the include virtual statement to work. I keep getting: ----------- Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126' Include file not found ----------- For security reasons, I don't want to enable parent paths and use include file statements like ../ So I only want to use include virtual statements. Does anybody know how to do this, or is there another way? Like using JS or VB? If there is, could you provide some sample code or kindly direct me to a link with how to do this. Thanks, M.

    - Problems with ASP Files I tried using the ASP function to upload my files, which have forms and blanks to fill out, but when the loading page appears, it tells me that it has to be applicable on a server that supports Active Servers Pages. Therefore, even though I used the "Database Interface Wizard" page in list.asp to connect to the form I constructed, which I saved it as file.asp and uploaded to the IE, I could not get the database page I created to have the input results of what I had input in the form. Instead, it showed me something like " value="ON"> "> on the page beneath the settings I had on the results page, with a check box before it. Can anyone please tell me what have gone wrong? Is it the problem from my webpage, or the server? if the latter, how could I fix the problem? Tag: Executing CGI Script from Form Tag: 56942

    - Connect to Database Hi, to all, Is there a way to connect to my database that is outside my "public" directory with FP2003 ? My "public" directory on my domain is the place where i should upload all my files to including the database. However i would like to place my .mdb file in the 'Databases' directory that is outside the 'public' dir. I would like to know how to 'tell' FP that my .mdb file is not in the FPDB dir. within the site. I figured it should be do-able by editing the global.asa file but i do not know how or what to edit to make it work.

    - Moving code into another file I need help moving code from a web page into an external file. Here is the background: - I've taken the code for a software package, modified it, then pasted it into my web page. - It works fine, but complicates the HTML on-page, so I would like to move it into a separate file. I've taken the code as-is and put it into a file (called search_english.js), then put the following onto my web page: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" src="http://www.my-domain.com/search_english.js"></script> When I upload the page, it doesn't seem to be able to find the code in the JS file. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Not sure if I need to put anything special at the begining or the end of the JS file. My JS file begins with the following code (which produces a form to do a search on a database): <form method=get action="http://www.france-property-and-information.com/listman/exec/search.cgi"> <font color="#808000"> <input type="hidden" name="search" value="1" style="font-weight: 700"> <input type="hidden" name="perpage" value="10" style="font-weight: 700"> </font><b><font color="#808000"> etc. etc. etc. and ends with: </select><b> </b></font> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <div align=center> <font color="#808000"> <input type=submit name="search" value="Find Properties " style="font-weight: 700"><b> </b></font> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> </body></html> </form> Tag: Executing CGI Script from Form Tag: 56930

    - Photo Gallery & FP 2003 Hi. I maintain a web site for a real estate agency. The owner likes the use of the Photo Gallery feature using the SLIDESHOW presentation. We have used shared borders to have a site menu on the left border, agency logo on top border of the pages. With this layout, there appears to be no way to accomodate the view in a 800x600 monitor display setting so the page all fits on the monitor screen without scrolling left/right - the owner's request. I can view the pages fine when using my monitor display settings at 1024 x 768. I have not been able to accomplish this task. Is there a way to specify width of the Photo Gallery/Slideshow feature OR is there another way to accomplish the same "look" of this layout in FrontPage and, if so, can you please share the information? Thank you for your time! Tag: Executing CGI Script from Form Tag: 56926

    - Defective & DWT Missing Navigation Tree in FrontPage I uploaded my site using Frontpage 2003 after making some recent changes. My WSP's server hosts 3 of my sites. I noticed after viewing my remote website that 2 of my "hover" buttons displayed the incorrect buttons. These buttons are visible on every page because I included them in my DWT (Dynamic Web Template). Although these buttons activate the correct hyperlinks, their button texts and button images are displaying buttons from my other site's . I have also notice that my Navigation tree is missing. I tried deleting these 2 buttons and recreating them. I get the message "0 files have been updated. I then tried recalulating the links and republished. Still no changes. Note that when I "Preview" My site within FrontPage, all is well - the buttons display properly. Can someone suggest a way to fix these problems. I will be greatly appreciative!

    - can't get more stupid then this.. Hi, When i use the "INSERT" into statement in DBRW in a custom query-string and type in the proper values ('::naam::') the result would that i get an error specified as "Unable to find operator in query string. Query string currently is Insert into invoer (naam) Values('::naam::')" So it doesn't insert anything into my table, (=problem no1, the major problem) Now when i change the Values to ('naam') without the :: then it does insert "naam" into my table but not the value that came from the insert -form field. It inserts the word "naam". So the Insert statement seems to work it only inserts the wrong value. It actually inserts the values name. So it appears to start working a bit ( i get no error messages like above) but now the right values. Is there a way i can solve these (2) problems, i've been looking at Microsoft MSDN, KB, FPsupport, but without any positive result, Pls do help if you can.

    - Help with HTML please I have some HTML code that doesn't do quite what I need. Can anyone help with the following? I've divided my home page into 3 columns. First column is pictures, second is text, 3rd is navigation buttons. For SEO purposes, I want the 2nd column to appear first in the HTML. I was kindly given some HTML code that creats a table that achieves this: 2nd column is first, followed by 1st column, followed by 3rd column. I would like to change the order slightly so that it is: 2nd column first, 3rd column 2nd, 1st column last. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to the following code to acheive this? <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" id="table1"> <tr><td><br></td> <td rowspan="2" valign="top"><br><br>This content is first.</td> <td><br></td></tr> <tr><td>This content is second (I would like it to be third)</td> <td>This content is third (I would like it to be second)</td> </tr></table> </div> The code effectively creats a table with 2 cells in the first column, 1 on the second, 2 in the third. By using the bottom cell of the first and last column, the middle column appears first in the HTML. If you would like to see the result, I've created a test page: http://www.france-property-and-information.com/test_page.htm Very grateful for any suggestions. Doug Stewart P.S. I think it is about time I learned some basic HTML so that I can do this type of stuff myself. Can anyone recommend a book that is fairly basic (I'm not super technical)?

    - Cannot Add to database Hi (again) to all, Can anyone help me out with the following ? I'm trying to "insert" records to my table called 'invoer' (yes, thats dutch) I followed a sample from "frontpagehowto.com" and used a custom query-string like this : Insert into invoer (naam) values ('::naam::') The value comes from a page called insert.htm and the form properties are set to 'send-to-other' and as action it would post to addrecord.asp. (in my opinion this should work) However when i publish the whole thing and enter some name in the formfield 'naam' en click submit i keep getting the follwing error: Database Results Wizard Error The operation failed. If this continues, please contact your server administrator. I'm using FP2003 and the database connection works fine, also created pages to display other data and that works. The above sample is just a test-table i've created in my database because i actually need to store much more information into other tables. Give the above information, can somebody tell me what i did wrong and why it's not working? Thanks in advance for any idea's or suggestions, (p.s.: i can't use the "send-to-database" option in the form-field properties, i'm not using the FP-servext.) Gr.

    - Unable to Update Database Records Sympton: The server has been performing adds, updates, deletes without any problems (for at least a year now). As of last night all ASP pages that perform the UPDATE statement stopped functioning. INSERT and SELECT statements continue functioning normally. Nothing changed with the code and the server administrator swears no changes were made on the server-end (unless there was one of those "silent" Windows Updates, he admits. This is the error message: "Database Results Wizard Error The operation failed. If this continues, please contact your server administrator." Environment: Windows 2003 Server, Web Edition; FrontPage 2003 connecting to an MS Access database These are the steps I've taken to try and troubleshoot the problem: 1) Published the entire website to a Windows 2000 Server and the problem persists, which tells me it is likely not OS-specific 2) Changed the Connection from the internal FrontPage database connection to an ODBC driver as a system DSN, no change & same symptons 3) I went to the extreme and changed permissions for the IUSR account in the /fpdb folder to "full" just to ensure that had nothing to do with it, no change 4) I restored from a known-working Access database backup from 4 weeks ago, no change 5) Every article at MS Support Site that I could find with the mentioned error does not pertain, although I went through each one just to verify it didn't apply (Articles 828898, 828905, 891819, 898721) 6) On the SAME server where this sympton occurs there is another website I manage that is setup similarly (meaning Access database), and is functioning normally (meaning you can perform INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE without problems) Any ideas? 12 hours after banging my head against the wall, well, I'm at a complete loss.

If not, can anyone tell me if it matters! I have external script routines that reference the page (ie. frmAdminUserPass.txtUsername.value = "whatever") and I don't know whether the first part of the reference relates to the form name or the form id. If it's the form id then I guess it doesn't matter that FrontPage is changing the name as it therefore wouldn't be relevant to what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for your help!

    - web pages won't display on local host I am designing a website for my company. All has been fine until the other day when I checked the website view on our server and it didn't display any of the changes I hade made over the last several weeks. The changes appear correctly viewing on the local and remote view in Front page but when I go to run and type in the address to view on our server just the old site appears. I have checked to make sure we have microsoft extensions, and FTPed all the files, but nothing makes a difference. Any thoughts? Thanx -- Jen Tag: Executing CGI Script from Form Tag: 56781

    - Drop-down Box How do you get a drop-down box to show nothing as the first selection/choice, rather than defaulting to the first on on the list of choices? Thanks! Tag: Executing CGI Script from Form Tag: 56777

I see that the Form Properties have the option to send to CGI.

I want to execute a CGI in my website cgi-bin directory.
How do I specify the program to run and the parameters sent to it?

For example
http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/CGIPGM.exe/login?username=Username&uemail=user@email.com (email address is from form)

inTHANKSadvance

The parameters are the form fields, so your form will need a field for
each parameter.
In the form properties, set "Send to Other" - Custom ISAPI, NSAPI,
CGI,or ASP Script
On the Options Button, set the action to the path to your CGI
application, and the method to GET.
Click OK twice, and you're done, apart from setting the correct
permissions on the CGI-exe, and the CGI bin itself.

If you need any other parameters not provided by visible form fields,
then click the Advanced button and type in the names and values (these
will be in the HTML/Code view as hidden fields.)
