We have LOADS of documents scanned to PDF format, stored
in SQL tables.Allowing a client to browse our ASP driven site to select
and view individual PDFs has been no problem. ("index"
table is queried to show list of available PDFs, user
clicks a link in the list, PDF reader shows the document
in a new window.)
Now, they would like a feature that would PRINT (at their
location) batches of documents via the website,
preferablely with a single click.
i make a data display page, its showing all records, now i want user just press print button, and that print all data on screen, secondly user input 2 dats From ..... To......, so data in between that day will print,
I can run these commands successfully from the command-prompt on the server but from an ASP page, I get nothing not even an error. The Text output for NET PRINT is a blank text file.
I feel something is different on the permissions side because this code/approach use to work fine.
Security issues, warning messages, etc., aside, what MIME-type combination do I need for and ASP to write a BAT file to the response stream? e.g. Response.Clear Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream" Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.bat" Response.Write("net send COMPUTER2 success") Response.End() This code does not work! Which is surprising because in my current config, the following html works fine, and executes on the shell: <A href="message.bat">test</A>
First, a little background. I'm developing an order management system for my company and I want to be able to print a batch of packing slips in one go without pulling each one up on the screen and clicking 'Print'.
How can I do this in ASP? The only way I can come up with is to loop through the records and concatenate a string with the HTML code and then send that string to the printer. But, I'm not exactly sure that's the best way or if it is even possible.
I want to basically click a button that says "Print All Packing Slips" and never see an output screen.
i have to start a batch process from a dll to transfer files created by this dll to remote ftp server. I created a batch file:
ftp -n -v -i -s:D:atchftpcmds.txt ftp-server
and a file containing the ftp commands:
user username password lcd D:atchmedia mput *.* quit
It works pefectly when i start it from the dosbox. But when i call it from the vb dll implemented in IIS (shell ("D:atch ransfer.bat")), it does not complete the transfer and hangs after 400-500 (small) files.
I have a web page that sends emails to groups of recipients. It uses CDONTS to send each email. While it works fine for sending a small amount of emails out, it chokes the page when sending to large amount of email addresses. Basically, it loops through each email address and sets the CDONTS object each time. I need to do this because each email is personalized.
Does anyone have any thoughts around how to optimize this code. Is there anyway in ASP to send the code to a background process for example?
I need to send batch html emails out from a db mailing list (anything up to 1000 in one go).I am using CDOSYS and standard ASP. My problem is that it will error if I try to do any more that 5 every 30 seconds - this is fine when I send them out myself (I have a script to do this) but now I need a program which will allow users to send out batches and I want it to appear seamless.
We're trying to write an application that will allow a user to enter an id field from an ASP intranet page and when they hit the enter button, fire off a print job. The problem is, Adobe must be open as the items being printed are PDFs.
We tried firing off a print command using MS SQL cmdShell() (not sure if that is the exact name of the command) and it works, but it never completes. The process hangs in the database because, we think, it hasn't closed Adobe, therefore never coming back to the query. We wrote the query into an ASP page.
Adobe must be open or the documents won't print properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how we can automate this?
I have a form that users enter details of a car (e.g make model , idnumber#) and then press save to save to the database they may want to order 10 cars with the same details exept the idnumber so to save the users entering in all 5 details I want to make it easier.
Should I have a list box and let the user add idnumber items from a text box and then pass this to my update asp and loop through + to save to the database or should I save one record and then return back to the same form Note : I am having problems with this method as only part of the fields show when I hit the back button I just wondered what is the best method of doing this I am spoilt for choice and I also get problems.
I have a batch file that needs to execute every day and I need to run it in a silent/invisible mode. I looked up on the Internet and found this command: shell("batchfilename.bat").
Upon failure, learned that it is a Visual Basic command and not VBScript command. I wonder if anyone knows how to run a batch file using vbscript that runs in invisible mode?
if anyone has experience in building the ability to upload/insert multiple images from one directory on the client machine to an Access database via asp. The process would be to click on the browse button for the correct images and you would be able to click on multiple images using ctrl or shift button and then insert the selected files into the database. Can this be done?
I'm trying to call a batch file that I've built using the FileSystemObject and CreateObject("Wscript.Shell"), oShell.Run. in an asp script. Naturally, I can get the script to work from a command line but not from abrowser. The page does not throw an error but the oShell.Run. portion of the script doesn't run.
how to go about sending a batch of sql statements from asp to sql server, and having errors appropriately handled? for example,
i want to send the following stored procedure calls to sql server in a single batch from my asp code, rather than using a loop in asp to execute each procedure individiually. if one of these fails, they all should fail.
im trying to run a bat file on windows server 2003 and am running into nothing but problems.
i have IIS on my XP workstation that accesses the 2003 server. what im about to explain below works properly on the XP IIs.
i have two files: somefile.asp and somefile.bat. the asp file creates a wscript.shell and then tries to execute the run method for somefile.bat.
however, it isnt working. after an unexaggerated 7 hours of searching google/etc, i have found nothing but frustration and deep, seething anger regarding this problem. Code:
I have a batch file that takes variables from the cmd and passes them by sqlcmd to an SQL script. When I pass the variable 'MikeTestList' the script runs as expected with no problems. When I passed 'BulkTransferTest' I got an error message, 'The string or binary data will be truncated'.
Some testing has shown that I get the error when the string is anything above 12 characters. Is there a limit to the length of a string you can pass using sqlcmd from a batch file? Is there any way around it?
Also, if I have a space in the string, it only passes the string up to the space. I have tried to fill it with a '%' which then gets passed as is, so the % stays in place through out the script. Code:
Okay there is an unique EventRegID for every registration. When people first register they get pre-registered. Then an admin comes in and confirms or wait list them (based on whatever requirements). My question is how can I tie the EventRegID to a form with multipule ID's so they can batch confirm or wait list the PreReg list? Code:
I have ASP statements stored in SQL and want to run them on an ASP page. I am printing the data onto the page using ASP, but the ASP code that comes from SQL just appears as actual text. For example, it appears as:
I am developing an Intranet application for a business. I would like to be able to print out certain bits of information just as regular applications do. I realize that this is a little more difficult, and after doing research it seems that the best way to print is to use JavaScript's "window.print();" command.
The only problem I have with this is that
#1 - it prints the address and date at the bottom of the page #2 - it prints the page numbers at the top of the page.
Is there any way around this (without having to alter IE's configuration)? Or perhaps do I need to approach printing in another way? Perhaps VBScript?
Is there such a thing as putting some code on a page that makes it so noone could print out that page? Maybe something that disables the browsers print function or something?
i seem to have a problem printing my timesheet to make it fit into a a4 paper. is there a way to have it to print using ASP but force it to print in a4 landscape.I have tried using my printer settings and force it to landscape,but the whole table and font comes out really big and makes it continue to print to another page.
I have also tried to use the printer settings to print into A4 or even print to 60% of the size, but still cannot. Even though the data is not really long it goes to another page.
