I have a folder with eight or ten files that can be displayed in a browser. I need to display the file with the latest creation date. I imagine there is some kind of ASP function that could like at the filename's date and pick the file that meets the criteria. How can I do this?

I have a database with multiple records which are often updated. I am trying to display the latest entry in a certain way (with css div styles) and then list the rest of the entries another, less elaborate way.
Is there a good / preferred way to do this? Right now I have it so that it SELECTS TOP 1, displays that in a certain DIV, and then SELECTS * - however what is wrong with this is that it displays the first record twice.

View Replies View RelatedI'm coding a page where you can download a lot of different files( 100-1000) but I don't want to code each file(linking and all) it would take weeks to do that.

I wanna know if we can code with asp something to automaticly read each file and list them in html so I dont have to code 1000 x the samee thing.

View Replies View RelatedI am working on a book selling website using ASP with an Access DB.
Basically i would like to have an image of each book in the DB to be displayed upon request in the website. So I guess what i would really like to know is
1. Can i store .jpg or .gif files in an Access DB?
2. Does it make sense to do this?
3. Would it be better to have some kind of pointer in the DB to a place in the file system where the image is stored? .......
does any one here know of a good way to to determine whether or not a
given path is a directory (e.g., "c:mydir") or a file (e.g., "c:mydir
myfile.txt")?
i started attacking this problem by using filesystemobject to check
whether or not a directory existed for the path. if so, it was a
directory path. if not, i checked to see if a file existed for it. if
so, it was a file path. Code:
Currently I am developping a internet "directory browser"
My page 'default.asp' has following entries:
CurrentPATH = Request("MyLink")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPATH)
Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files
this works fine with 'default.asp?MyPath', where "MyPath" stands for i.e.
c: emp
but NOT with 'default.asp?MyFile', where MyFile stands for i.e.
c: empfile.txt
Is there a way to determine if the link contains a file or a path? Of course
you can check for a dot (after dot, normaly it is an extension, thus a
file), but I want to have it possible also to have dots in my directories...
Anybody?

Set file = fileSystem.OpenTextFile( "config.xml", 1, False )
It's saying that 'config.xml' doesn't exist. How can I reference this file? It's in the same directory as the file with the above code. Do I need to build the path somehow?
I used to have a little ASP file (classical ASP) that would show me the total file size used per directory. I didn't need it for many years and now that I do I seem to have lost it.
Does anyone have an classical ASP file/script that will loop through your filesystem and shows the total Mb's used per directory? I could write it myself I'm sure, but if someone has a script like this ready it would save me quite some time.
is there a way in asp that you can prepend a file to the beginning of page you access in a directory? i'm not talking about the include statement because you have to put it in on everypage manually. i know you can do this in cold fusion, but i don't know how to do it in asp or if its even possible.
View Replies View RelatedUsing ASP in a VBScript environment, how can I check the protection on a directory, or a
particular file?
I'm trying to run each file in a directory to be put into an include file line
I can't get anything to work me. Code:
The Include file '../main.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent
directory.
I think it is refering to the fact that I have a file called
communication.asp, and in that file there is a line:
<!-- #include file=../main.asp -->
This LINE should not contain '..' to indicate the parent directory
On the other hand, reading the message as it is written, we see that it

I have a form mail script that sends an email and then writes to a text file using Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").
The problem I am having is that the information needs to be saved in a Password Protected Directory. When I try to save the info it gives me a permission denied error.
I had my hosting company change the permission on the directory and the script was working ok but now it isn't.
Is there a way to pass the username and password in the script so I don't have to worry about the hosting company messing this up?
I have 2 web servers both running win server 2003 with iis 6.0. On my
PROD server I have a virtual directory called CONV. It points to a
folder on the C drive of this PROD server.
On my TEST server, I defined a virtual directory called CONV. It points
to a share called prodservernameCONV. Note that the share name is
the same name as that of the virtual directory.
Using IIS on the TEST server, I can navigate to this CONV virtual
directory and via right mouse, click EXPLORE. I see all the content I
should but when I try to doubleclick on a file I get a message saying
"Security alert" - "your current security settings do not allow you to
perform system commands on this item".
I've tried everything I can think of on the security settings for the
physical folder on the PROD server. I extended EVERYONE from READ, etc.
to FULL CONTROL. I added the user called INTERACTIVE and gave it full
control. In short, I am stumped and guessing now.
Basically, I just want to avoid duplicating all the data files on my
PROD server over to my TEST server.

I'm trying to create an XML guestbook. I'm using a form for the user to input his name, e-mail, message etc. an .asp file to update the xml file and an .htm file with javascript to display the xml file. The .asp file contains a <meta> tag to redirect the user from the .asp file to the guestbook.htm file. Following the submission of the form the script in the .asp file runs fine and updates the xml file but the problem is that when the xml file is accessed by guestbook.htm in appears to be accesing a cached version. For it to display the latest entry i need to access the xml file directly (http://....../guestbook.xml), refresh it and then return to the .htm file.
View Replies View RelatedI have an invisible page counter. I have been successful in getting it to work. However, I'd like to build an administrative password protected web page that shows the count. I'm not sure how to do it. Here's my code for the file and path:
sPath = "D:inetpubwwwrootmywebsite.comdatabasecounter. txt"
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
I used to have some static htm files which used to display data. There is a
calling asp file which used to do something like below
if Request.QueryString("PageName").count = 0 then
strPageNameHtm = "toc.htm"
strPageNameInc = "toc.inc"
else
strPageNameHtm = Request.QueryString("PageName") & ".htm"
strPageNameInc = Request.QueryString("PageName") & ".inc"
end if
strPageNameHtm = server.mapPath(strPageNameHtm)
strPageNameInc = server.mapPath(strPageNameInc)
'response.write(strPageNameHtm)
set fs = server.createobject("scripting.fileSystemObject")
set f = fs.openTextFile(strPageNameHtm)
strSPDHtml = f.readall
The strSPDHTML info used to be displayed using a response.write(strSPDHTML).
This allowed the static content to be loaded up.
I switched the static pages to be asp pages having the content come from a
database. I would still like to maintain the controlling page logic. Can I
modify the above section of code in anyways to access the asp page content
I have written a script to update user information in the Active Directory using ADSI. Here is part of it:
Set User = GetObject("LDAP://<GUID=" & GUID & ">")
User.Department = DepartmentName
User.SetInfo
Set User = Nothing
This works fine unless DepartmentName is an empty string ("").
Then I get error 0x8007200B: "The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid."
This happens with all the attributes I have tried, including TelephoneNumber
.
Do I need to delete the value of the attribute instead of setting it to an empty string? If so, how do I do it?
I'm looking to display a page and then initiate the downloading of a file.
Basically trying to display a page that says the download will begin
shortly, and if it doesn't, click here. Like what you see at a number
sites.
I found code to initiate the download in a previous posting ("Force Download
fails when I select "Open" but works when I select "Save"", posted Jan 25,
2005). The code works fine in terms of initiating the download. The
problem I've encountered is that the download begins before the page itself
is displayed.
i need to display a name of a file retreived from database in the <input type="file">

But, the value doesn't get displayed.
need to display in file input type cos user may need to select another file.
