    - Outlook and Email Hello, I know how to do an href to send an email to the person, but I would like to know how to do this with vbscript. I have a client table that appears in a form.

    - Update Windows with a script Any know how to run Windows Update (just Critical Updates actually) on a client machine automatically by a script? Of course you can set autoupdates to run everynight, only problem is that users are often logged on as users, and Updates won't install. I suppose I could just logon as an admin every night at ~3:00 AM, but that seems like a kluge. Must be some elegant (oops, sorry, I almost forgot - this is vbscript...there is no elegance) way to push updates. Thanks, Jerry Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139951

    - Install of VBScript components causing problem? I recently installed and began using VBScript. Now when I boot I get a cryptic message XAUpdate.exe Cannot find entry SHGetSpecialFolderPathA ... not in SHELL32.dll ... It appears not to affect the system (after clicking OK), but I wonder if the install of Scripting caused this? I noted a post from Michael Harris that IE4 Desktop Update must be done. Checking on that in KB, it appears that it can't be done without uninstalling IE5.5 and reinstalling. I truly don't want to bother. My shell32.dll is version 4.00 and this appears to be too old. Any lazy way out? -- Gary Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139944

    - unicode I need to select data from an nchar field in a sqlserver database, persist it to XML, then transform it using XSL, (all in COM component called from ASP - returning HTML ), outputting HTML (Response.Write the string returned from COM+). The data may contain european characters such as ? é and also chinese characters such as ???? (it looks like SQLserver stores these as 两个月前) There seem to be a lot of stages along the way where the encoding can be set and/or will default to a certain encoding (COM defaults to UTF-16?) What do I need to set to be able to see (and input) both Eurpoean and Chinese (Simplified) characters? So far I'm using; XML FROM RECORDSET------------------------------------------------------------- In the recordset the Chinese char is 个 but when persisted to XML the ampersand at the front is shown as & <data>&#20010;</data> So I'm replacing "&#" with "&# " to output 个 in the XML XML HEADER---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- I grab the documentElement.xml of the XML from several recordsets and build up a 'master' XML string. The header that I use on this string is; <?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> (should I change this to <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>) XSL TRANSFORMATION-------------------------------------------------------------- I then transform the XML using XSL. - no encoding specified that I can think of.. ASP------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- The resulting HTML string is returned to the ASp from the COM component. At the moment I have no codepage set in the ASP..what effect would setting this have? HTML------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------- The Meta tag in the HTML is set to ; <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"/> Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139929

    - what is the command for adding an attachment????? Hi, My ISP only supports the SMTPsvg.Mailer and I have the following code which works great except for adding attachments. An exhaustive googe search for an example has produced nothing useful and trying to guess what the command might be took a lot of time and yielded nothing. The file - GPC Assessment - Ronnie Bates.xls is a file on the server in the root path. This code runs error free, it just doesn't do what I need it to do. I tried some of the following format as well - Mailer.addAttachment upload.file("GPC Assessment - Ronnie Bates.xls").path and all variations of parenthesis and quotes to no avail. Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject ("SMTPsvg.Mailer") Mailer.FromName = "Web Mail Test" Mailer.FromAddress = "apc_assess@engconcepts.net" Mailer.Subject = "Upward Assessment " & MailByWeb.fields.item("supervisor").value Mailer.BodyText = "The Supervisor is - " & MailByWeb.fields.item("supervisor").value & " the rater is - " & MailByWeb.fields.item("rater").value Mailer.RemoteHost = "mail-fwd" Mailer.AddRecipient "test", "george@engconcepts.net" Mailer.addAttachment "GPC Assessment - Ronnie Bates.xls" if Mailer.SendMail then Thanks in advance George Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139900

    - Returning arrays from a .vbs file My question is: how is it possible for a .vbs file to return a variant array of strings when called from another .vbs file? I have a .vbs file which consists of about 20 calls to independent Functions, each of which returns an array of 4 strings. After this a short section disseminates the returned information. Each Function is about 30 lines long. For maintainability, instead of one huge Main.vbs file, I'd like to have a small Main.vbs and have each function call go out to its own small standalone .vbs file. These calls could be synchronous or asynchronous, but after all the results are in, I need to summarize the returned arrays. Can you suggest a way that's better than my overkill IE idea which follows? By the way, each .vbs file, including Main.vbs, utilizes an OCX that I have written and this OCX would be happy to cooperate. Can you do better than?: Main.vbs creates and prepares an instance of IE. Each Function (located in its own .vbs file) finds this same instance and when the Function is done, it writes its array somewhere into this IE instance which the caller (Main.vbs) can then access. In a better version, each FunctionN.vbs file would do something like Set myOcxInstance = GetObject(,"myOcx.Tool") and then I could accumulate the variant array of strings into the OCX, but upon searching, I have read that this GetObject does not like to work with OCXs (the OCX contains forms, but they are not shown when accessed in this manner) so I thought I'd ask before chasing after the wrong tree to bark up.

    - Problems Using UPDATE to modify multiple and non sequential records - a giant conundrum from a total novice.... The records in my database are displayed in a form as follows: %> <form action="report-ammend1.42.asp" method="post"name="form"> <table border=1> <% x = 1 while RS.EOF=false %> <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="SprogNo<%= x %>" value="<%Response.Write RS.Fields("SprogNo")%>"><% response.write (RS.Fields("SprogNo"))%></td> <td><input type="text" name="Report<%= x %>" value="<%Response.Write RS.Fields("Report")%>"></td> <td><input type="text" name="rep2<%= x %>" value="<%Response.Write RS.Fields("rep2")%>"></td></tr> <% x = x + 1 RS.movenext Wend By specifying integer values for x in the form action file, the correct data is always udated to the correct record: Dim DB Set DB = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection") DB.Open ("PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\test.mdb") 'Dim rs Set rs = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset") rs.Open "SELECT * FROM SprogTbl", DB, 2, 2 rs.movefirst for x = 1 to 3 rs.Fields("SprogNo") = Request.Form("SprogNo" & x) rs.Fields("Report") = Request.Form("Report" & x) rs.Fields("rep2") = Request.Form("rep2" & x) rs.update RS.movenext Next rs.movefirst However, I need this to work for any (undefined) no. of records and the records may have been queried to display non-sequential records for the database. I can't make any of the three solutions I can think of work: 1. If I could make the field SprogNo (which contains the unique ID no.) rs.response write into x as an integer, then each record would be automatically numbered. I would then need some kind of "for each x" loop before the rs.update statements. Just putting: Response.Write RS.Fields("SprogNo")=x in place of x = x+1 doesn't do it........ 2. I've also tried tying the update to a WHERE statement. But, the following will work for a databse of one record only: Dim strSQL strSQL = "UPDATE SprogTbl SET Report = '" & Report & _ "', rep2 = '" & rep2 & _ "' WHERE ((SprogTbl.SprogNo)='" & SprogNo & "');" DB.execute(strSQL) .... however, I've had no success trying to iterate it's functions starting with rs.movefirst and then a while rs.EOF=false 'rs.movenext loop. 3. Finally, I thought it might be worth trying to get the WHERE statement (above) into the rs.Fields("SprogNo") = Request.Form("SprogNo" & x) statement. So far all attempts have fallen foul of syntax errors. e.g. rs.update WHERE ((SprogTbl.SprogNo)='" & SprogNo & "'); The last two solutions would still require making the update repeat for each of the fields in some kind of a loop.

    - Why does Createobject work on one computer but not another? I have the following code in a Visual Basic 6 standard exe project. On my computer, the development computer, it works fine. Dim ObjH as variant Set objH = CreateObject ("Shell.Application") However, when the same line of code is executed on another computer, it gets a run time error "object variable or with block variable not set". This line of code is basically instantiating an object variable to point to an object application in the class named shell. Is there a Visual Basic reference or dll required to use this line? Does anyone know why this is occurring and what I can do to fix it. Thanks in advance. Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139846

    - detect occurrence of two words in a text with regexp Hi, I'm searching for a pattern allowing to detect if a text has occurrence of two words (say word1 and word2), consecutive or not. I don't want a logical OR where (word1)|(word2) would be the solution. I want the two words being simultaneously in the text. So the text could be "some words word1 some other words word2 or word1word2 or word1 word2" I accept to not detect word2 being before word1 like word1...word2...word2...word1 I almost found a pattern with : re.global=true (word1)\s*(word2)|(word1)(\s+\w+)+\s+(word2) and why not be more complex with testing word1 and word2 being at the beginning of words like word1abc and word2xyz so the pattern will be (word1\w*)\s*(word2\w*)|(word1\w*)(\s+\w+)+\s+(word2\w*) If I dump the matchcol, I find each word1 and word2 listed but the matchcol.count doesn't give the right number of (word1, word2) pair occurrence. That's because the expression word1 words word2 words word1 words word2 is counted for one single occurrence as if it was : word1 (all words including word1 and word2 ignored) word2 Only the first word1 and the last word2 are taken into account. But the returned submatch content is word1 words word2 words word1 words word2 so any word1 and word2 is catched. I get also the same result with : (word1)(\s\w+)*\s*(word2) So I'm happy to know the two words are in the text but I can't use the result for replacing the words because I don't know where they are. Since I want to change the color of word1 and word2 in red, I must know the exact location. Is there any other way? or I must use the following process : - detect the presence of the two words (wherever they are) - do a re.replace(text, "word1", "<font fontcolor=red>word1<font> - do the same with word2 Thanks for any help Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139834

    - Using queried date to serach for data I'm having a problem with my asp pages. I have the first page set up to search for data by date and shift.

    - Formatting or inserting breaks into Textarea using innerHTML AAAAARRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but thats how much I was frustrated when I could not get a simple thing to work on a static html page using javascript. I just wanted to insert a line break into the textarea dynamically. Here is the piece of code that will not work... but will give you a "unknown runtime error". If you remove the "<br>"s, it will work. <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> function writeText() { document.all.myTextArea.innerHTML = "Hello<br>" + "sometext" + "<br>Hello"; //THIS WONT WORK EITHER: //document.all.myTextArea.innerHTML = // "Hello\n" + "sometext" + "\nHello"; } </script> </head> <body> <table> <tr><td id="mytd"><textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea></td></tr> <tr><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onClick="writeText();"/></td></tr> </table> </body> </html> But Internet Explorer did not like it. I visited a lot of newsgroups and tried different things. I've tried replacing line breaks ("\n") with <br>s and what not... but we wont go into it. What I am trying to say here is that I could not find a way to format the text inside a text area. After hours of research, I just ended up doing something like this... which by the way occured to me when I was finishing up my Dominos pineapple pizza. The workaround was to include the whole textarea inside the javascript and write them into the TD using the innerHTML of the TD at runtime. I sincerely hope that this will help someone solve a similar issue and save them a lot of trouble. ========= SOLUTION: ========= Here is the code that I came up with to work around this situation... //THIS IS THE WORKAROUND: (result is the id of TD, so you are basically inserting html that CONTAINS the textarea into the TD instead of writing text to the textarea. i.e., you are writing the whole textarea into the TD at runtime) <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> function writeText() { var rslt; rslt = "<textarea id=\"myTextArea\">"; rslt += "Hello\n" + "sometext" + "\nHello"; document.all.mytd.innerHTML = rslt + "</textarea>"; } </script> </head> <body> <table> <tr><td id="mytd"> <textarea id="myTextArea"></textarea> </td></tr> <tr><td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onClick="writeText();"/></td></tr> </table> </body> </html> GOOD LUCK!!!

    - Dazed and Confused.... Hi. I'm using an Access 2002 DB and ASP. For the purposes of this post, the simplied SQL statement in question is: UPDATE dbtable SET status=" & xstat (xstat is yes/no) The exact same code works just fine on at least a dozen different servers in the US. It's part of a common function I use all the time. I have a client in Brazil . When they run this code their server throws an error... Microsoft JET Database Engine erro '80040e10' Nenhum valor foi fornecido para um ou mais parâmetros necessários. (No value given for one or more necessary parameters) BUT, I'm 100% certain that the field names and types are correct, and as I said above, this code works fine on many servers in the US If I hardcode: UPDATE dbtable SET status=True... it works fine. If I hardcode: xstat=True SQLx="UPDATE dbtable SET status=" & xstat response.write SQLx The code fails with the error I mentioned... and the SQLx string looks like: UPDATE dbtable SET status =Verdadeiro (which means True in Brazilian) Go figure. Any ideas what I must do to have the Engine/database recognize the foreign language equivalent of True? Tim -- Posted via http://dbforums.com Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139763

    - Delete A File Using VBScript? I have a script (that I got from this group, thank you for this) that creats an Excel file from my an SQL statement. The problem is if the file already exists, it errors off. I would like to do just a 'blind' delete of the file so the Create doesn't error off. Is there a way delete a file in VBScript?

    - Multithreading with script control? Hi all, I am developing a multi-threaded server-application in VB. (How this? I am using a C++ service that is instantiating VB-Objects on different threads...) I need to add scripting to my application. I am currently using the Script Control. Are there any issues running this control (which is not placed on a form but only created as an object instead) on several threads? Is it possible to implement the IActiveScriptSite interface in VB? I could not find a type library where this is defined. Thanks very much for your help! Matthias Moetje Tag: Batching emails from a newsletter system Tag: 139756

    - Newbie ASP db question Hi All, I am learning database connectivity within ASP. I have the following code but keep getting the error shown below. --------------<snip>------------------- Set dcnDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") dcnDB.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & strDatabaseLocation dcnDB.Open strSQL = "SELECT * FROM Current ORDER BY NewsItem" Set rsQuery = dcnDB.Execute(strSQL) Do While Not rsQuery.EOF response.write rsQuery("NewsItem") & "<br>" & rsQuery("Source") & "<br><br>" Loop --------------<end snip>---------------- Error Type: (0x80004005) Unspecified error The error is with 'Set rsQuery = dcnDB.Execute(strSQL)'. The database is a very simple Access 2000 file. It has 4 tables; Current, Hold, National and International. Each table has 2 fields. NewsItem and Source. All the manuals I have say that it is right. Is there something special I have to do with the Access database file in Access to make it compatible or something? Any help would be muchly appreciated. Cheers, Bill.

    - Deleting table rows at runtime Hi, I have a table that looks much like an inbox on most sites with the first column having a checkbox and other columns containing data. I want to delete those rows where the checkbox is checked at the client-side itself. I've tried looping through the table body elements to check the state of each checkbox but haven't been able to make it work. Anybody has any suggestions how this would work?

Hi Guys

Wonder if you can help me.

To give you some form of background info, I have created a web-based
newsletter system using ASP, ADO, Access 2000 and your JMail 4.3
component.

This newsletter system has been created so that I can send 1
newsletter to 300+ subscribers every 1 or 2 months. I wouldn't say
this was really hammering an SMTP server - would you?

Our ISP (FastHosts) will only allow 10 emails every 30 seconds or 50
emails every 10 mins. I've checked with FastHosts and they don't
support JMail's '.nq' queuing option, so do you know any other way
round this?

Is it possible to page the subscribers into say batches of 10 and send
these out every 30 secs without me having to do this manually?

Regards

Robbie
