Can you run an client application (i.e. Excel) from an ASP web page? I want
to open an Excel document that is stored on the network in the Excel App (not
in browser window) allow the user to make changes to the file and then save
the file back to the network. If this is possible how do I do it?
I work for a security system company. I'm in the installation department. One of the things we do is go to our monitoring service's website and check the signals to see if we got all of the signals for a particular alarm system.
Unfortunately, that means refreshing the page alot.
So, I started off using an iframe page to refresh the content i wanted. the only problem was that the urls i used to login and set the customer ID would go to another page.
So I tried to create a frameset document. However, the .asp pages completely ignored the frameset information. Code:
there are specific client of mine and there is a big database which i have to handle it, every time clients want to connect to this specific database it takes long time, this database is a static database it means you dont have to edit or update it by the clients, it is like a dictionary, you type your words/code and you will see some data,
I could not find a way to reduce the time for the clients(due to the big database), I am wondering that is it possible to put a copy of this database on client's computer (I have mentioned that there are specific clients and I have access to their computers) within Access Database so in this way I have to run the connection to the access database at clients side, if so what is the coding for it??
I've a strange problem with Windows Vista, running an ASP page on local machine (http://localhost/test.asp), the page does not give me any error but the asp code is not executed (simple code : <% response.write("hello") %), it show me a blank page, I think I've put all the setttings correctly, but maybe I must do something obvious to fix that.
What is required to run asp.net page with extension .aspx file,on win 2000 server with IIS ,it is not working,what upgrade is required ,I am using IE6 also.
I am design an web application that requires information mation to be created from tables once a day, once this information has been created it is stored temporarily in another table until the folowing day. The problem is that to creat this information a seperate .asp page has to run.
I would like this page to run early in the morning when no one is in the building and accessing the servers. I have tried using windows scheduler... this works but still needs a user to press ok on the internet security password screen we have set up. Is there any other way to get the page to run without using the browser, or to change the page into a dfferent format??
I have an asp page that will be updating the data from one database into my sql server database every 3 hours. I'd like to write code that will tell the page to automatically run every three hours. How do I do this?
if it's possible to run an .exe or other command line utility form an .asp page? What I am trying to do is have a report request page where the user would supply a few details, and then submit. At this point I am hoping to pass the data to an .exe. This .exe will write its output to a text file which will be read and displayed on the page. Is this easily accomplished?
if it was possible to put a function in the global.asa that would call/run a page every x minutes. I have an ASP page that writes a text file and I want that file to be updated/rewritten in the background every 30 minutes so that pages that call the file are current. I have requirements as to why it can't just be a dynamic page and needs to be a text/htm file.
I have this situation where I have one shared folder on particular server and this folder is shared for just one user to access it. I wrote an asp page wich should open a file from that shared folder. However because the folder is shared for just one user I have somehow to run the asp page as this user.
The same way like in ASP.NET application where I can use impersonation in web.config file. Is this possible?
This is the error which i got when i tried to display message in my text box which is a aspx page.
Error which i got:Server Error in '/' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Runtime Error :
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

This correctly ran the script, but it was unable to include the QUERY_STRING from the parent URL into the included perl script, and there seems no work around to enable me to do that on IIS 6.0, therefore on this thread:
I was recommended: "to a simple ASP page which will easily do exactly what you want because it actually has the functionality you want, by intention, and is supported." Code:
I wish to avoid caching asp pages at the user end . Currently I have declared Response.Expires=0 at the top of my asp page. I have also used the following meta tags to prevent client side caching:
I've installed iis6.0 on win2003. All static content with ssi etc rendered fine on the browser, but gives a 500 internal server error if i try access any asp page. The log file says:
I'm cobbling together an e-commerce site with thousands of items (spares, accessories etc) and want to distribute it as a catalog on CD. I don't fancy rewriting it to HTML. Is there any way to run the ASP and database on a CD-ROM. I've tried Dynamic-CD but it won't do the job and there is little or no help on their web site.
I am trying to run a simple VB exe from the asp. I am using the following code
Set oWSH= Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") oWSH.run "%COMSPEC% /C est est.exe",3, False
The exe is seen in the task manager. But it is not running. When I use this same command in the command window, it works fine. Can some please help me. It is for Intranet development. I am trying to run the exe in the server only.
I had a windows xp professional and I install the windows component so that I can use the IIS 5.1 to test an ASP file. I went to start and click the run button and then type mmc. As soon as the mmc window opens I click the console but there is an error saying that there is nothing into it.
I need to open asp.net solution files whose source location files have moved. I am creating new virtual directories on the fly (using vbscript) as part of a automated build process that are configured to point to my new source directory. The build is following because I get the following error
<b>Unable to open Web project 'Abc'. The file path 'c:dev...' does not correspond to the URL 'http://localhost/Abc'. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found.</b
I am getting around this in the build process by removing the <b>GlobalSection(ProjectConfiguration)</b> section from the *.sln file
Is there a proper way to avoid this error occuring
Is there a way to open FrontPage automatically on a user's computer using a web page?I wan't the user to be able to click a link or a button and have FrontPage open to a specific URL. The FP permissions should take over from there. I'm looking for the same kind of execution that you get when you type
I am very new to asp programing, so this may seem a silly question but here goes. I am creating a page that will generate random lotter numbers. I have created the actual code to generate the numbers and have added the code to the top of the page. the problem is the code runs when the page loads and I want it to run only on the click of a button. I read various starter tutorials and none seem to mention how to asign code to the click of a button.
I know there have been posts about this issue before, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm not well versed in ASP, but in PHP there is a function called exec. This launches a process. I can call a PHP script from the command line and have it run in the background i.e.
<?php
exec(php myscript.php &);
?>
is there a way to do the same thing with ASP? I want to run an ASP script in the background
I am trying to run an ASP page in IIS 6.0 and I keep getting one of two errors:
-2147467259 (0x80004005) The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
I have Win XP. It's been running fine for a long time and then yesterday, for no apparent reason, I get this. I've tried the links to asp.faq that I've seen others post and nothing works.
As a test, I created a simple ASP page with just '<% Response.Write("Hello") %>' in it and still the error occurs so it's not a scripting or database problem. DotNet seems to run fine and I can run HTML pages, I also have Apache and can run PHP scripts with no problem ... everything except classic ASP.
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy and I need IIS running because I am falling behind in my work. As I mentioned, I've been running ASP scripts on this machine for years and have never seen this problem.
I had the error "Visual studio.net has detected that the specified web server is not runnning ASP.Net version 1.1. Yow will be unable to run ASP.Net web applications or services." in .NET 2003.
I fixed it by running the IIS mappings for ASP.NET, aspnet_regiis -r. But I figured that my IIS had some issue and I had to register the dll for IIS.
After doing that my .net is throwing the same error, "Visual studio.net has detected that the specified web server is not runnning ASP.Net version 1.1. Yow will be unable to run ASP.Net web applications or services."
I ran the aspnet_regiis -r again it is overwriting the 1.1 .net framework scripts but the error in .Net is not fixed.
I know my webserver is running Ok because I can develop ASP pages using Visual Interdev and my default website is running fine.
