on my asp page i have a list of results pretty much printed out the same way the access database is structured, so its nice n simple. although i want to let users download the results into an excel file or text file.
View RepliesThis question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with
..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced
the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e.
"renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a
couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other
file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I
get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file
system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:
I'm wanting to do something and I'm not sure if it's possible (I'd sure
like it to be).
I'm using a neat service called FeedSweep to aggregate a large list of
XML/RSS/ATOM feeds. The FeedSweep works just fine, it takes my request,
chugs and kicks out what it should. The problem is that because I'm
throwing 40 some feeds at it, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a
minute+ to kick back the "content." What I want to do (to save my users
from having to wait that time and to keep me from constantly swamping
the FeedSweep servers with these requests) is to use the XMLHTTP
component in ASP to grab the results, save them to a file on my server,
and pull from it (updating once or twice a day).
The problem I'm having is this... FeedSweep generates a Javascript code
for me to place in my webpage, and this code executes and returns the
results (what I want). But, when I try to grab the webpage that
contains this javascript code (link), all I get returned to me is the
"-script src=*link generated from feedsweep*- -/script-" -- What I want
is the actual result content that is generated. (replace the "-" with
greater than/less than signs) Code:
I'm attempting to limit a query which is being ordered by a date field to 10 records. The date field contains duplicate values, which are sorted from most recent, back.
However their suggestion of sorting by a secondary field is not providing acceptable results (it returns all the rows in the database). Does anyone have any suggestions of another way around this?
I have a table in an Access database that I would like to download in an excel spreadsheet. No editing required, I simply want to copy the whole table.
I can connect to the table and, if I wanted, could display the complete data in the table on a web page but importing that data into excel is where I am stuck at.
here's what i want to do. from an asp page, perform a search on a
table in access. i have used sql code in the asp page itself, but i'd
rather execute a query in access. i have success in running any query
(basic SELECT, SELECT with conditions _other_ than LIKE, etc..) for
some reason, when i execute the query below from the asp page, i get
no results.
the search.asp page just has a text box in a form that submits the
srchBOX field to the results.asp page.
here's the asp code from the results.asp page: Code:
I am trying to search through an access database for tickets createded with in a certin date. I am using the below code.
strdate = DateAdd("d", -2, Now())
sqlstr="SELECT * FROM Incidents WHERE TicketDate BETWEEN #"& Now() &"# AND #"& strdate &"# ;"
I verify the query with response.write and get the following.
SELECT * FROM Incidents WHERE TicketDate BETWEEN #15/07/04 19:19:32# AND #13/07/04 19:19:32# ;
I know there are 100% tickets within this date. Yet my query returns nuthing. Please help i've searched this forum for other peoples code looking for examples but end up with the same result.

I am creating a Survey creation site...users add questions, choose their response types, and then the page trundles off to create itself.
Because of the way that I have done, I have given each question an id, and each page an id, put these together, and you get the name of the field on the form in the ASP page. Got it? Code:
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?
Downloaded the sendMail.htm and sendMail.asp sample files
from technet onto my IIS 4.0 server. The first 2-3 times
I tested all went well. Subsequent tests, with no server
changes, gave/gives me the "File Download" dialogue box
when the sendMail.asp file should be executing. Why does
sendMail.asp give a "File Download" box instead of just
executing?
I need to have script that automatic download files (open a "save file
dialog box") based on a variable (value in the URL).
Example:

saving file1.mp3)
files.asp?file=2 shall automaticly download file2.mp3 (open a dialogbox for
saving file2.mp3)

View Replies View RelatedIs there a way to export my ASP results into a text file? So basically it would be the source file if looking at the results page.

View Replies View RelatedCurrently i am doing a file management project where user are able to create folder and upload files to it. The file ownner would be able to set permission (from database linking to the file path) if a user able to download it or not.
*each file info will be stored into a table e.g. fileid, filename, path, access.
Now i am facing a problem where if a user does not have permission to click on the link to download, the user can guess the path and the file name and directly type the path on the address bar to download the file.
i want to be able to write an asp.net function to download files.
For example, brinkster.com hosting service has a COM component that allows a stream of binary data to the client from the server so that the client will be prompted to download the file.
here is the syntax:
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
Dim SysFilePath
SysFilePath = Request.QueryString("filePath")
' Parmeters:
' 1. Path to file to download
' 2. Yes, build content-xxx headers
' 3. Use this value for Content-Type header
' 4. Include the word "attachment;" to Content-Disposition to force download
Upload.SendBinary "premfs3sitespremium8jaydakissx22webrootmyFile.txt, True, "application/octet-binary", True
How can I do this in asp.net without using the "Persits.Upload" COM object?

how do i create a file download utility that limits the number of users? for example, a maximum of 5 users can download a particular file at the same time.
i can use asp (not asp.net), javascript, maybe read/write a text file if necessary.
if anyone had any script that can allow a page to run some code and then kick off a file download.Maybe like many places do saying download should start automatically or you can "click here".I appologise if this is easy to work out from the source of one of those pages, but my view source seems to have died and I thought an answer from here might be quicker than fixing it!

I have coded a file upload process in ASP and the current way I allow files to be downloaded, which have been uploaded is by using the <a href> tag. This works but it normally opens the files for the user in a new browser window. What I would like to do is present the user with a download link which opens the Windows File Download dialog box.
I thought there might be an easy way to do this kind of like HTML provides for uploading a file… which is the input type=file (presents the user with the browse button). Is there an easy way to present the user with a Windows File Download dialog box?
