To provide a small team assistance in a rather massive data conversion effort, I've built an ASP script that scans/scrapes a pile of PowerPoint presentations that are in an agreed-upon format and pulls in textual data from these files to be uploaded into a database
Believe it or not, the thing is (a) working, and (b) not too strange
However, it only works for me (a member of the web server's administrators group). When one of the "normal" users tries to hit the page, they receive the following error
"The call to Server.CreateObject failed while checking permissions. Access is denied to this object. Code:
I have two links on a page. One goes to an excel spreadsheet and the other goes to a powerpoint. If you click on the excel it prompts you to down load it or open it. IF you click on the powerpoint.....it opens it in the browser.....why does that happen?
how do u actually create pdf or powerpoint on the fly which should have necessary statis info along with that i need to attach the proposal with financial information like pricing. If differs from one proposal to another depending upon client's selection of products.
The above said process should be a ppt or a pdf. Server scripting can be even asp.net or asp. I tried many solutions by the way like htmldoc, datapoint etc. Most of the things giving me either funcationality error or alignment issue.
Am very desperate in finding the right solution if you people hve involved in such projects. Alternatively i need some solution which can help me converting html file to pdf or html using asp or asp.net coz i can easily generate html files on the fly and then i can convert it.
some users on our network are having difficulty opening Powerpoint files via the Web. I've read the article "In-Place Activation Using Internet Explorer 5 Does Not Work for PowerPoint Slides" at this location: http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...B;EN-US;q290180. However, following the guidelines of the article has not resolved the issue. Our users have Windows 2K, XP Pro, Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0.
I want to know is it possible to edit a powepoint presentation programmatically, i need to supply the values dynamically on web page.
For example if a user chooses state "Texas" and press the button "continue", the program should edit the the powerpoint presentation that is adding information related to Texas. If he/she chooses a different state, it should show the information of that state.
I need to set an online directory and file the write permissions,fot JET to use it's temp file whthout problems.
Im using ACE FTP Freeware,and the properties I ask for each element directory and each file says that the write permissions are OK, but I still got errors while trying to update it online.How can I change IIS permissions?
I have a compiled activex dll component on my server. When I log into the website under the administrator I can successfully access the dll, however using another windows NT user simply shows 'unable to create component due to permission'.I have ensured that the user in question has all writes to the dll file on the server, including the IUSR and IWAM accounts.
i got somethiung about permissions or something, like when i goto my site, and theres a bunch of bs about folder permissions set to non read... whats up witht that????
Does anyone know of an asp script, online somewhere, that I can use to find out the permissions of a folder? My ISP says these folders have full permissions, but my programs say "permission denied". I don't know if it is the programming, or if the folder don't really have the right permissions.
I keep getting"Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN " errors pointing to my connection string when the same connection string is working for a few of my other pages.The MSAccess database does have the right permissions configured. Below is code I'm using:
<% dbcon="DBQ=" & Server.Mappath("diary.mdb") & ";Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" Set calConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") calConn.Open dbcon%> <%dim freetsql,rsfree freetsql = "select text_field from diary where dte ='" & dfm & "'" set rsfree = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rsfree.Open freetsql,calConn,3 %>
I know this isn't the best group to ask this in - but I also know a lot of you have experience with this kind of stuff I'm going to be creating a site where customers will be able to set up their own sub-site (ie. www.mysite.com/theirsubsite). I'll need to be able to create virtual directories on-the-fly, so I plan on using ADSI to accomplish this. My question is - what are my options when it comes to permissions? Will I need to give the IUSR account admin permissions to create these directories, or is there some way to impersonate an admin account on the script creating the directories? Has anyone dealt with this before?
i need to allow my ASP app to append and use data in text file, but restrict users from pointing directly to it and opening it for viewing.
what permissions should be set for the text file and is there a special way to access the file from the my ASPs? i am use JET ISAM driver to had data access to the text file. it all works fine except for the problem i mention. also, i have to reset permissions when ever i upload from my PC to development and production sites.
I have a database (*.mdb), which I can connect to, query on, and return results from in ASP. Now, I want to do some ADDs,UPDATEs,and DELETEs.... but I get errors executing my SQL... What's the trick?
PS My connection (thus far) is this, and works.
Dim Conn Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0" Conn.Open Server.MapPath("myDatabase.mdb")
How do I setup perrmissions in my FTP to allow anonymous access where you can only upload to and download from a separate folder but not create sub folders or change any permissions etc.
I have my trusted users with extended permission in like c:ftproot ame1, c:ftproot ame2 etc and would like to have my anonymous access directed to something like c:anonymous. I do not want them to see the trusted accounts. Can I and how do I do that?
I have a mixure of .htm / .html / .asp files on an IIS Server at our main office. When people at another location goto the web they can view the .htm,.html files but can't access the .asp because of permissions.
Now i've checked the permissions on the individual files and the two file types have the same permission settings. Is there something in the ASP platform that adds extra permissions to .asp files. (Active Directory wise).
can someone explain to me what the following privelages . eg. in one folder i want my database to be written to, but not allowed to be downloaded as a single mdb file.
in another folder i want my user to be able to upload images into it freely. other folders i want untouchable. here are the settings my host give me. if somebody could explain to me what the different users are. what certain settings will allow. in terms of ftp and website use.
here are the settings i can apply to each directory/file ....
I have a asp page that I need to check to see if the current logged on user is a member of a specific active directory group. How can I do this? I have tried so many different LDAP code examples and none seem to work.
Do I need to include a administrator username and password in the code? Does any have any samples of code I can try?
i had this site of mine running from my pc with duc no-ip for avoiding my ip from changing my ip. it was working fine, but i made an upgrade to my machine, so had to start all over again;
my web app works with access and asp;
i gave my .mdb total control to IUSER_myPcName and, in iis, in mmconsole, i go to my websites/properties/security and then in this window i click edit and i have:
anonimous access checked but the rest of it i'm unsure when i try my login, i get this error msg: Provider (0x80004005) unspecified error /a/login.asp, linha 53 that's the line where, in my script, i connect to odbc.
Ive recently migrated from dirty ol' PWS on Win98 to IIS 5.1 on XP and Im a little unfamiliar with the IIS snap on. Would any of you be able to help me with permissions so the Db can be updated but without adding security risks.
im running asp.net using visual studio .net on IIS and Windows XP Pro im tryying to run a web application with accessing an access database but when i try to open the connection it says the file is in use or dont have permission.
im pretty sure it is the permissions but i cant add asp.net user to have access like with windows server what do i have to do to fix this?
I am installing phpBB and it says that i need to change the permissions on config.php to be writebale by all (666 or-rw-rw-rw within your FTP Client). does anyone know how to do this. I have tried right clicking and going to permissions but i do not see anywhere to change it to 666 or -rw-rw-rw .
i created an asp script that calls wscript which in turn calls up an .bat file. I have tested this script on my machine on my home win2k3 machine but cannot reproduce the same thing on my other server. Right now, IIS requres "intergrated windows authentication" login and run the script.
I ve given the user account every possible permission combo i thought of. The script in question has permissiont to run, it even has admin priviledges for testing purposes. But nothing happens when i run it from my page. I am completly stuck right now. No idea how to persue this b/c ive exhuasted every possible thing i know and every tip i read about.
I am trying to use JavaScript to write/select values into a form on a remote .aspx page using frames.
I can load the webpage into the frame and write to the frame on my local test page. However, on the remote page I get this error from FireBug: "uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDocument.aspnetForm"
I have been successfully running ASP on a W2K IIS5.0 server using Anon Access enabled, but would like to be able to restrict access to a particular folder containing some ASP content to a particular NTFS user group that I have set up.
I have added this group to the particular folder (giving Full Control) and switched off anon access and added Intergrated Windows authentication in IIS Admin. The problem is that although users can access static content in this folder, any attempt to run an ASP fails with a logon box appearing and "Error: access denied" apearing in the page.
Is the problem that this user group does not have permissions on the system files used to execute the ASPs? Everything works fine under my admin account or if I make it all Anonymous access.
I am using winXP pro + IIS5.1 to develop my site offline.
My data is in a folder outside the web, and I am told "my IUSR account needs to have read/write/modify NTFS permissions to the directory housing the file"
I can find no info on how actually to do this. Can anyone explain?
When I try to edit the db, I get the message: "No update permissions" I wanted to find a way to find out what the error is so that I can fix the problem. I have checked the permissions on the db and they allow read and write, to i think the permissions on the table are fine. The code for my demo_update.asp is Code:
I currently have a asp page that will display what is currently in my windows folder. The problem i have is with permissions. I have all my departments on a page when i type in called: http://myserver/Website/dir_list.asp
in this i am showing different departments in hyperlinks to the windows structure. I have beside each department to tell me the amount of files that are in that department(folder).
I am having a problem whereby if i right click n the eningeering department and get rid of myserverusers account. I do not want everybody to have access to this.Only a dedicated person for the engineering department.
when i put the person individual login name to have access to it and get rid of myserverusers, it will come up with permission denied on the count, even though i have given myself administrator permission to the folder.
I basically have to take the permissions for myserverusers away from the folder but if i do, no matter what permissions i give the folder, it will keep denying me access without this. IUSR_<machinename>
Has any one ever comes across something like this before?
