Is it possible to read a file from a local computer? I know how to read a file that is in the server, however I would like for the user to read a values contained in a file that is loacted in his/her computer and then load these values into a database.
A way around this would be for the user to upload his/her file into the server, but reading the file directly from the local computer would be much faster.
I have a Development server that is running Win2k, IIS 5.0, and ASP enabled. I am trying to gain access to an Access 2000 DB located on a file server within my domain. I'm pretty sure I have all the correct permissions set, but I am having problems when trying to access the DB.
The error is similar to:
The Microsoft Jet Database engine cannot open the file '******'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I'm looking for ways to fix this... Microsoft suggests turning off the ability for IIS to sync passwords. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution for me.
Is it possible to create a new virtual server that is a share to my file server? Put my ASP and MDB file in there and have it work? Anyone have any other ideas?
is there a way i can read into two tables in the same database access file?and if so.. how would i write the code?the code below is already connected to a database reading from table1.. and i wish to read it from table2 as well...

Is there a way to upload a file first to a directory (which is have done) and then either upload it to a database or referance it within a database
View Replies View RelatedI want to do one of two things and I not sure which until I know the difficulty level (knowing a little asp but not alot) of each. I am helping in the office and we will have several small access dbs using the FrontPage forms methodology.
So, now that I have some data bases, I will want my users to be able to 1)copy the database to their own machine where they can massage and do whatever they need to with the data, or 2) perform a query against my data bases, and have that result sent in db form to their machines to do whatever.
I've seen somewhere that asp has some file system components but am not sure how that
works. I am willing to read and figure it out if I can get a push in the right direction.

When i import a dbf file with filename greater than 8 chr, it gives an Server error saying File Not Found,Maker sure if the path is correct or filename is spelt correct. what should be done do import a dbf file with a longer name.
2. In the dbf file i want 3 fields to export to MS Access table. for eg : - Name, Address,City.
How can i make sure if all the field Names (Columns) ie: Name, Address and city is present in the dbf file programatically. for eg : if There is Only 2 fields in the dbf file while importing to Access rather than giving an server error message, it should display my customised Error .

View Replies View Relatedi am trying to write something to an existing file. but i got error msg: Error Type: (0x800A0046)
I have done research on this error, i have change the write permission, setted up IUSR_(my computer name) account in authentication method, unchange the read from the parent folder.
i have done every thing, i dont know what can i do to allow me write something to a text file using asp. I can read the file no problem. here is my code:
I usually use SQL Server, but have occasionally had to use Access. This is
such an occasion. My research, mainly at aspfaq.com, has been that you need
to put the file path in your connection string, like this (watch out for the
wrap):
strConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=c:mydirectorynamedbname.mdb;User Id=xxxxx;Password=xxxxxxx;"
Well, the host of this new site I am working on is asking me if a relative
path will work. I don't think it will, but thought I should ask.
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.

what I want to be able to do it take data from one of my Access 2000 queries and automatically export that to an XML file. then that XML file is going to be loaded with Google Maps API for use. What options do I have in exporting the data in access automatically? would it be just implemented everytime i call the function, lets say an ASP page?
to give a little more (hopefully helpful) information, I want users to go to my site which has the Google Maps API implemented, and it will show them the rainfall and lake level data in my area. I figured XML would be best as I have seen someone implement a similar design in Canada using an XML file, however, I need to be able to get the
information from the query in Access so it can be loaded onto the map for people to see recent data. Again, I'm guessing ASP would be the best bet in accessing the data from the database.

The Microsoft Access, for every database opened for shared use, creates an .ldb file to prevent users from writing data to pages that other users have locked. Whenever the last user closes a shared database, the .ldb file should be deleted.
It is working; the .ldb file is deleted immediately after closing connection
but not if you open/close this connection from your ASP page.
What I found, the .ldb file is deleted with about 70 seconds delays after closing connection from an ASP page.
My client has various Access databases that they want to be able to access (using MS Access, not through ASP pages).
