    - Deleting files with ASP Hi, I am using FP 2000 on IIS4/NT. I have an asp script that creates some files from a database. It writes from a private subfolder ( _folder) to a subfolder of the private subfolder ( _folder/folder). It will work once, but once the files are in there, I can't run the script again and overwrite them. I get a "permission denied" error. If I go in and manually delete the files, it will work again. Neither the programmer or my ISP can figure out what is wrong. The only other thing I can think of is a FrontPage quirk. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks, Jill Tag: Text Box Tag: 34501

Do I need to create an empty web on the hard disk to copy the file to??? -- I've actually tried this and it doesn't seem to work. I've also tried not creating one and then the command prompt asks me if I'm asking for a file or directory??? If I use a CD/RW, can I just use the regular publish command like works for a floppy.

    - Still getting an error trying to connect to Access DB on web I posted this message several days ago and someone suggested that the error was because someone else had the db open exclusively. That's not the case here, since I'm the only one currently using this db. I'm hoping someone might have some other ideas about what might be going on. I'm trying to connect to an Access DB on my web site. I used FrontPage 2000's Database Results wizard, but the page it built just doesn't have the features I need, so I've started setting up a page by hand. I snagged the connection string out of the global.asa file and pasted it into my ASP code like so: dim sCon 'ado connection string dim adoConn 'ado connection set adoConn = server.createobject("adodb.connection") sCon = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=CurrentShipped.mdb" adoconn.open sCon Which generates the following error message: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x958 Thread 0xcf0 DBC 0x24cfafd4 Jet'. /test.asp, line 95 Anybody know what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it?

    - navigation bar I am trying to sell a service on the Net (12 pages of documentation). I have used FrontPage 2000 to create my web. Everything was OK until I realized the following: My web has got only 2 levels: The Home page on the first and all the other pages on to a second level. Obviously, the Home page contains the hyperkinks to the other pages. On the Home page, I created a "pay button" downloaded from the net to process a one off payment and then re- direct the visitor on to the second page to start surfing my web. But, I have just realized that on the navigation bar every page contains a link back to the Home page. which means that any visitor who, after having paid, would hit the Home button would have to pay again to visit the site. I'm not a programer - How to create a navigation manually, a restricted area for the ones who have paid. Thanks Tag: Text Box Tag: 34397

    - FrontPage 2003 Development Hi All. I'm working with FrontPage 2003 and SharePoint Portal Server 2003, creating an enterprise portal. I've a problem calling a desktop application from a FrontPage Web. This JavaScript works OK alone (calling "Calculator" from Windows), but it doesn't work inside de Web. This is de code: function ExecCalc() { var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); var ReturnCode = WshShell.AppActivate("Calculator"); if (ReturnCode == 0) { WshShell.Run("calc", 1, false); } else { WshShell.SendKeys("^+m"); } } The problem is an error message, just after the function call: 'WScript' not defined. But... "The WScript object is the root object of the Windows Script Host object model hierarchy. It never needs to be instantiated before invoking its properties and methods, and it is always available from any script file" (from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp? url=/library/en-us/script56/html/wsObjWScript.asp). Anyway, I'd like to think that it's easier to do than the JavaScript way, isn't it?. Thanks a lot :). Tag: Text Box Tag: 34392

    - Can't get "file upload" in FP form to work - can't change "folder properties" for upload That was my problem and I discovered there is no solution for the remote host I have my web hosted on. I have since discovered this is a common problem labeled many ways in this forum. This is my effort to give it an easily identifiable subject for someone else like me to readily find. 1. If you can't get your files to upload from the form, first check that you have changed the properties on the target folder to permit it. 2. If you are like most of us, using a remote server with FrontPage extensions on their "Apache Server" you are out of luck with no work-around - unless you move to a different non-Apache server. He are the details from my ISP techical support: "Read: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;288716. It says 'Apache servers do not permit uploads as a security feature to protect from attacks.'" Tag: Text Box Tag: 34388

    - A question with no answer? (upload from form) The Question: How do you get a upload form to work? Many people in several MS Newsgroups have asked this question, but none have seemed to recieve an answer. I would wunder if a Microsoft moderator would be able to take the time give a difinative answer to us all. And please do not refer to a knowledge base article again. Be mindful that in my case, I have several different webs on two different ISPs. One is www.Host4students.com the other www.totalchoicehosting.com. Both have FP 2002 SE installed. I have worked on this from the server itself and I still get shaded out boxes on my folders properties menu. I did get it to work ONLY if I make a subweb that is password protected. But I don't want this, I want my users to be able to upload any file they want without entering a username or PW. So, if you think you know the answer, let me know. and if it works, I'll forward it to all of the others in these groups that has seen my posts and asked to let them know if I find the solution. -Paul Tag: Text Box Tag: 34366
