Cookies And Updates Since Last Visit
I have a new feature called What's New i'm implementing. Whenever i add a new feature to my site, i am goign to write a little blurb about it.
On my main page, i have a javascript that will appear if there are any WhatsNew to show. However, i only want it to appear at least until the person has visited my WhatsNew page. Then, it does not need to appear again until i add another feature.
So, i have a Publish date field in my DB for weach feature and i was going to do this.
On the main page, check to see if Cookie exists, if not, display JS. When user goes to WhatsNew page, i update the cookie with the date.
My problem is that if my last feature was published say 12/02/2005 and todays date is 12/05/2005, the JS will appear. So my theory is flawed. I need to JS to only appear when the user has visited that page, since the last feature was added.

I know ASP isn't the best way to do this, but is it possible?
I've written an application in ASP that manipulates an MS SQL database. We'd like to have our application automatically backup the database at specific times. We'd also like to generate an email report once a day on the statics of our database.
Is this possible with ASP? How else could it be done, considering our application is all HTML/ASP?

I am building an ASP application, in this application, one of the functions is that I have to know exactly how long a user has used a certain page of the application. so I need a way to long the time a user enters a page and when he leaves again.
when the user closes the browser, no time for leaving isrecorded.Is there a way to run a web service that can read cookies of all the users and write them to a database? Or am I looking too far for the solution.I'd like a clean solution, not with popups, or opening other windows in order to run extra asp code.

I want to know whether a certain function on the database such as add or delete record is successful or not to be indicated after the transaction.
E.g. if a record was not found, or not deleted, the next page should indicate the event. If deleted it should indicate as well.

I have an Employee Database in MSAccess with more than 10 tables. The updates of employee is done frequently and is done in bulk. The fresh data arrives in Excel worksheets (more than 50 records).
I have created a user interface in ASP to update these records in Access. But the user ends up doing more work updating. Importing Excel worksheets to Access is one way ...but then the column names and types have to be adjusted evrytime.
Can i build a datagrid in browser using ASP, so that the whole table gets displayed and the user can update the data in bulk. And is there any way I could copy paste the Excel records in such datagrid?

my problem is The updates on my asp files are not reflected in the browser. Till recently everything was working fine.
Today I installed new updates on my windows 2000. After all the cached asp contents are appearing and the updates are not getting refreshed. I dont know if this is becoz of the updates on my OS.
I had a file addfield.asp. It was working fine, I made some changes and they worked. But after that my updates are not reflected. If I rename the file to addfield1.asp. I am getting the desired results. Again if I change the contents of this file, they are not appearing.

is there a simple way of updating all the value fields with one form? so i can have the page lay the four value's out in a list, the user could then edit them and hit update and this would update all the value fields. i can update single records no problem but have no idea where to start with this one.

I need to know if I should use asp.net or Java for this. I would like to use asp in general. I need to have a function check to see if a variable is true or false and update an icon. But I want it to either check when updated or every 3 seconds. I suppose it has to be somewhat client side scripting but is there a way around this.
As of now I use IFrames whith a refresh of 10 seconds, any less will cause it to timeout. I kind of want it real-time or very near. It's kind of like a status page for information in a database.

I am having problems sending emails via the CDO.Message object from an
ASP script which was working fine. On the server I can still send
emails via the CDO.Message from a .vbs script executed on the desktop.
If I pause the SMTP service I can see mails queuing up from the .vbs
script but the ASP script no longer generates emails, nor does it error
when it creates the object.
Could this be a permissions problem? No IIS settings have changed, but
the server downloads automatic Windows updates.

I'm used to passing information between asp pages but now need to try something different. I've set up a page which loops through a database table and shows the results in text boxes.
I want the user to be able to change the text and then update the database. I guess this would be passing the whole page to another page which will use oRS.update. I can't imagine how I can pass the looped text to a receiving page.

In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.

Im trying to get a drop-down box that when a value inside it is selected, it updates a data grid below.
I am making a world cup fantasy football league between a few buddies and i want for each person to view points stats etc on a web page which connects to a database.
On one of these pages which i want help with has a list of Managers, and when a manager is selected it will show in a data grid their chosen squad of players.
I can get a page to select each teams squad, but at the moment i only know how to do that as a set of unique pages for each team which would be time consuming to do. Therefore a drop-down list of the team names would be a lot easier if it could update the page when a value is selected. Code:

I'm trying to create a single form to update multiple records in a database (Access). Similar to an update qty's in a shopping basket, whereby, on submit/update it passes and updates each record, without using the ONCHANGE feature (otherwise this would become an extremely laborious task in this application)
I've tried passing and updating an array but to no avail (maybe I'm doing something wrong)
Also, I can't seem to grab the contents of the form text field, even though I'm dynamically assigning names to each text field.
Should I be using Javascript to handle the change in values, if so, anyone got any sample code/helpful links?

I am creating a user tracking app that tracks a user one of two ways...
1)First Method is cookies
2)Second Method MS SQL DB
I first check if the users browser accepts cookies if not I go to the db. If the user accepts cookies then I check for a specific crumb if it does not have the value I am looking for I kill it and rewrite it. This is working fine (im in the middle of testing it). The problem is I decieded to test the script with NN7 and not turn cookies off but block cookies from my site and all fell apart. The condition that I have set (detect if cookies are enabled) does not stop the script from trying to set a Session Variable because the browser accepts cookies and to keep a long story short it goes into an infinite loop because the script is looking for a Session value and Its not being stopped becaues the script thinks its alright to write cookies! Is there a way to detect if a user has your sites cookies blocked? This is important because Server.CreateObject("MSWC.BrowserType") will return .Cookies = True and you will not know that your script is not executing properly because a user has your sites cookies blocked but excepts them elsewhere...

I've built a website which requires a user to log-in to access the site. I have already built a page that enters their details into a db (register.asp), and another page where the user enters their email address (the log-in ID) to actually log-in (login.asp).
How can I use a cookie to automatically log a user in??
More specifically, what are the commands to set a cookie (upon successful registration) and access it (upon re-logging in)?

Hey i've spent the last few hours trying to work this problem out about cookies.
When a user logs in to the site the login.asp page checks the database to see the personal page that the user re directs to e.g if bob brown logged in he would be redirected to bob.brown.asp. This is stored in a field in the database table along with the username and password.
i would like to put a cookie onto the users computer that remembers the url they were redirected to so when they press the main page button it would look for the cookie and see what url they are meant to be redirected to and take them there
My current login system is this ....

I'm trying to load up a page through my asp page and get the cookie from that page so that I can use it later on when it needs to have it to access other parts of the site.
Basically the asp page is going to act like a browser and store the cookie from the other site, then send that cookie back when the asp page goes back to the other site again.
The problem is, I can only seem to access my own cookie. I didn't run into this problem when I was doing a similar thing inside my .cs scripts that were run by the server, as I suppose they were not coming from the actual domain that my page is running on (and thus, wasn't getting everything trampled by local cookies).
Is this possible, or should I just give up on it now?

im building a site for a few doctors surgeries. the user is able to see what appointments are available and then book that date/time. i have a table (in my db) of dates/times and a checkbox to say whether the time has been booked or not (and display only times that havnt been booked). i was going to have the user add the time to a "cart" and then check the "booked" checkbox in my db when theyve paid for that appointment. but if i have lots of people looking at the site at the same time, then they may be able to see times that are just about to be booked. i think a better way is to have the date/time stuffed into a cookie which expires after 5 minutes. so when a user adds a time to their "cart", it will say something like: "this time will expire in 5 minutes until you book it or re-add it to your cart". does that make sense?
how can i do this with server-cide cookies (im using jscript)? can anyone think of a better way to do this?

I need to set a cookie on a user after they have logged in. I want to
use just the user's login name , since that is a unique field.
If rsPersonIDCheck.EOF Then
Session("blnValidUser") = False
Else
Session("login") = rsPersonIDCheck("login")
but:
set Cookies("User") = Session("login")
seems not to be creating the cookie

Not strictly a full asp question but Im sure someone here will have the
answer.I've read in several web sites that you can read and write to the same
cookie with asp and javascript.Does anyone have any sample coding showing how to do this with the javascript along with the asp code or were these websites I saw it mentioned
