The jist of what i want is the obj.FileExists (how it checks for a file on the server) for the client machine.
The client will be scanning something that will put a pdf file into a shared folder on their machine (it will be the same path for all clients). I need to get the code* to pull that file so that i can take the data on the pdf.
*Code doesn't have to be ASP. i'm up for ASP, VBScript, Javascript.
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?
I am working on a web application where i allow users to download text file , the content for this file will be retreived from the database and is passed to the ADODB.stream and is read into Response.binarywrite
I am using the following code which i have got from a forum Code:
I have a web server running on a machine. When the users connect to that machine, it loads the ASP page. The ASP page has a ActiveX control on it and it gets downloaded to the client's machine. I have made the control as a signed control so there is no problem in download.
Likewise, in the virtual directory path on the server, I have one clientsettings.MSI and that needs to be run on the server. Whenever the user tries to connect to the web page, in onload event of the web page, the .MSI file should be installed on the clients machine. For this to happen what all needs to be done ?
how to use FileExists to check to see if a file exists on a local server BUT what if I want to check if a file exists on a remote server (webserver)? If I enter "http://domainname/folder/image.jpg" it always returns false.
im trying to create a intranet site which copies files to the server. im guessing i should use filesystemobject to achieve this but im not sure on how to accompish this.
I am facing a strange problem. I want to give a functionality to the client where he can download a complete folder from the server. but how to give this functionality is the main problem.
I have one ASP page where I am creating various files of vcf extension dynamically and now I want that client should be able to download all those files. Those files are present in one folder and so I want to give that whole folder to the client.so now I want some trickes/code or URL from you guys to achive this .
I recently built an application using an Access database. The application works fine, but for some reason I am unable to FTP the database file back to my machine from the server... the operation simply times out halfway into the transfer.
Has anyone ever encountered this issue? I don't know if maybe some renegade connection wasn't closed, but I kinda doubt that's the case.
Is there even a way I can check what connections to the DB are open?
I have my asp pages stored in my server ,but when i try and call the asp pages in the clinet side it does not show a portion of the page,the same thing if i call from the server it shows me.
I need to know if, and how, it is possible to use ASP to download a file automatically from the web server to the client in a given path. Is that possible ? Ideally I want a page with a link that when pressed it will copy a certain file that exists on the web server down to the client.
we have some exist file at server site.we wants to open it from any client by simple browse or click on file. is tre any tool to do this or any script.
My boss told me web application is NOT client-server application. I argued with him because browser is the client, and the server code put in server. Then web application should be a client-server application. My understanding is that a web application is an application that runs on a browser. But client-server application is not necessary a web application.
There is a client and a server. They both share a folder structure that is identical. The client is able to copy and import files to and from the server with button click.
The client is running IIS and some local scripts. The client also has a network drive mapped to the SERVER location.
Is there a way I can copy files without running IIS on the clients machine? The server needs to pass the file info to the Client. Also keeping in mind that I can't get IE to open file protocol links.
I am having a problem executing long running queries from an ASP application which connects to SQL Server 2000. Basically, I have batches of queries that are run using ADO in a loop written in VBScript. This works pretty well until the execution time of a single query starts to exceed some threshold, which I am trying to narrow down. I can typically run 2 - 10 queries in a loop, with the run time being anywhere from under a minute to an hour or more. Now that this application is being subjected to run against some large databases (25 - 40G), I'm having problems getting the application to continue beyond the first query if it takes a while to run.
I used SQL Profiler to try to diagnose what was going on. I can see the query executes to completion, but immediately after completing I can see an "Audit Logout" message, which apparently means that the client has disconnected. The query durations vary from 45 or 50 minutes to up to over 90 minutes. I have the ADO connection and query timeouts set to very large values, e.g. 1000 minutes, so I can't think its that. My guess is that there is some IIS setting or timeout that I am running up against and the connection to SQL Server is just dropped for some reason.
The configuration is
NT 4.0 SP6 SQL Server 2000 SP3 IIS 4.0 Explorer 5.5
I'm only running into this problem on the very largest databases we run against. The vast majority continue to function properly, but this is going to happen more often as time goes on the databases continue to grow in size.
Using classic ASP is it possible to get the user's name and password and pass them to the web server to avoid the Windows Authentication popup login box?
At the moment I am building a small news board on my companys intranet. There are 2 different offices with 2 different domains. for each office I want to show different news relating to that office.
Is there any way with asp to get the name of the domain that the user is logged onto so I can filter different news for each domain. This will just save the hassle of putting the intranet on 2 different domains.
I want to know the possiblity and process of an ASP client, which needs to get some UDT from a ATL Server component implemented in VC++. The UDT is basically a C++ class consisting of a BSTR and a short. for eg.,
class CMyClass { BSTR myName; short myNum; };
and what actually i need is to pass a collection(vector) of this object to ASP client as well as to a VC++ client.
Normally when I do serverside processing and if the string may contain < or > characters in the userdata I would do:
<%=Server.HTMLEncode(userdata)%>
However if I'm doing client side processing is there any equivalent VB function that I can call to do just that, or do I have to write my own routine to convert < to < and > to >, etc?
Suppose I load data from a database and store it in a VBScript array using asp (i.e. this is all done from the server)
I then want to have some client side scripts (they have to be client side because they are activated depending on what the user does on the page). Is there any way of accessing the array generated at the server, through the client side scripts???
If not, how else can I write my page?? The data is loaded from a database, which is obviously done at the server. If not by doing what I have already described, how else can i use the database data in my client side scripts???
Let me paint the picture: A large MS SQL database (in 7.0) on a Win2K box (not that the Server O/S matters here really) and an ASP page that grabs data from it to present, of course, to the client browser. For the sake of conversation (since I have tested this oversimplified version of the problem) the code pulls a select * from blah (where blah is my BIG table - right now about 25,000 rows).
The problem/question is the time it takes to present the HTML to the client. The big question is...
Why would it take significantly longer to present the final (parsed) HTML on a remote client computer than right on the server? Note: I would normally consider the time it takes to "download" the HTML to the client, but in this case the actual "presented (parsed) HTML" is so small (it's only one integer inside the body tags), that could never account for the difference in time...and I mean significant..on the server...seconds...on a random client computer...many minutes...on my customer's machine...over an hour (which is, of course, my particular problem).
I obviously have to look at their ISP, but a)Again, the end-product HTML is very VERY small and b)the page does eventually present itself (so it's not timing out). I have the scripttimeout set ridicously high so that potential problem doesn't come up, but that's not the problem.
I just want to know what could be causing the significant time difference? Everything I know about the ASP "process" tells me this scenario should never happen (unless the HTML being sent is significant, of course, like a huge list, or something).
I want to be able to client process of the ASP page to get the value populated in Request("rssFeed"), how can I do this because the Request object is not available to the Client-side.
