Converting Word Docs To PDF
Here at work, we have 2 copies of our policies and procedures. We have a Word format, and a PDF format. The problem is that when a policy is changed (there is a commitee meeting every month), the Word doc file is updated, and then a different user has to convert it to PDF (We only have 2 licenses for Acrobat).
I would like to try to develop a solution, where the user updates the doc file, and then goes to a page on our intranet, where they check the boxes beside of the policy and click Convert, then it would convert the doc file to PDF. The policies are in a "public" folder, so the directory structure would be the same everytime. Are there are any tutorials or examples for converting docs to PDF?

Word Docs Open Via Link
I have a page that links users to a Word document based on a value drawn from a database table. In other words, John Doe is linked to "./docs/<% = lastname%>.doc" ...
This works fine, but I'm wondering if there's a way to control whether the doc opens read-only? I know Office 2003 docs are supposed to open read-only automatically, but I find that I can edit these docs no problem.
Dynamically Create Html From Word Docs
I'm trying to figure out how to run a script on my server which will go over a few folders of Word documents, and create html pages out of them which I can then serve to my users. Preferably I want to do this without installing anything else on the server, hopefully it's achievable with a scripting language like VBscript/ASP?
I am used to web programming in PHP,Perl, Java, but for this I need to use ASP, on IIS. I've Googled & Yahooed and not come up with much.

Images & Docs Storing
I have a wast databse of records, where there are so many Images assiociated with each record. I store the Image paths, record's primary key in the database and retrive them as and when required to display the records and the necessary images corresponding to the records. the image path as of now contains a relative path from the root directoy.
Problem:
The main problem is ..what happenes when the hard disk is full and if i add another harddisk.. and add images into that new hard disk. how will i be able to address the images?? as they are in a separate hard disk hence cannot be addressed relative to the web site's root directory..
How to secure images,Docs from anonymous preying Eyes?
Pass Protected Docs.
I have pass protected files within a directory adequately and included a function that ensures the http_referer is the secured folders index file so that I can be sure the file they are calling is opened up as an include within the index file.
My problem is what if it is a pdf or word doc or pp file. It is a bit of a training directory and they may use various forms of presentations. Now in cold fusion I can control the whole directory by implementing the application.cfm file but I know of no way in asp to do this.
Storing Image/docs Into Mssql
I need some advise and direction on the above issue. I am doing a site where a user are able to upload/download files (image/document). Currently i am storing the physical file on a directory and store the path and filename in mssql.
To retrive the file, i will just simply extract the path and filename to point to the file on the directory. Simple as that. Now i am having a problem when another user might upload a image/document with a same filename as a existing file. I can't replace the file or ask user to give a different filename when uploading to the directorty. So, i am thinking is it advisable to store the image/document in to MSSQL? If so, how do i do that?

i am retrieving a record from the database, I am trying to place the value of the FULLNAME field in a textbox on a Form, the Problem is that it only displays half of the name leaving out the stuff that comes after a SPACE.
Example:
adors("fullname").value <--- Actual Value is John Smith
but it only displays John
Code:
<INPUT id=text1 readonly name=txtfullname value=<%=adors("fullname").value%>>
but if I try to just response.write it anywhere on the page then it displays the entire name.
Combining 2 Sql Strings
I have 2 SQL strings:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
And
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID
ORDER BY editie desc
Now I want to combine those 2 to one string.
I have problems to set it up in working order.
My tryout:
SELECT *
FROM NK_editie INNER JOIN NK_edities ON NK_editie.editieid = NK_edities.ID &
" & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & "
ORDER BY editie desc
It shows al the records which are joined, only the second string " & MM_whereConst & " " & whereClause & " is not working.
Placing Strings Onto Url
I found out a really nice way to keep things on the same page is for any processing page to add on a "?<something>=<something>"
and then just check to see what the something is equal to, and the number represents what you want the front page to show.
However, this <something> shows up on the url listing in a browser. Is there anyway to .. encode it so no one can see it? Like a encode/decode function?
" And ' In SQL Strings
I'm building a forum, and right now i'm creating the ability to edit posts. As part of this i want to add the usual "Edited by UserName on Date" line at the bottom, but am having problems doing so.

Connection Strings
I am developing a website and it's going fine, but i've heard that you shouldn't have your database in the wwwroot, it should be outside/above that.
I've done this (i'm using Dreamweaver MX) so I moved the db, fixed my odbc/dsn, connection string etc, but when I upload now I get this error.
Microsoft JET Database Engineerror '80004005'
'C:Program FilesEnsimSiteDatawebpplianceconfdomainsInet pubwwwrootTesting_SiteDatabasesTesting_Website _DataSource.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides. /Testing_Site/default.asp, line 8
This is line 8: Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_TestingConnection_STRING
Is there something that I have missed. It was ok when it was in the wwwroot.
Comparing Strings
i am having a problem with comparing two strings. I am taking
in the parameter rs("Company") and if this is empty i want to put some
text in there. I am testing it with an empty Company field and comparing
it like so:
temp1=rs("Company")
temp2=StrComp(temp1,NULL)
I have also tried it with
temp2=StrComp(temp1,"")
but each time i get nothing returned. Is there some rule about comparing a
string with an empty string?

View Replies View RelatedSearch Strings...
I have a search function on my site, and what happens at them moment is the user fills in a text box with their search string, and clicks submit. The search page takes their string, and splits it up where it sees " ".
All fairly simple, what I'd like is to allow the user to enter text in speechmarks, so the script would search for a couple of words together, as well as being able to search for every individual word...
Everyone confused yet?!
e.g If the user enters Dev Shed Forums , then the search would look for every occurance of the strings "Dev", "Shed" and "Forums"
What I want is for the user to be able to enter "Dev Shed" Forums, and the search will look for "Dev Shed" and "Forums"...

Strings With Quotes In
< input type=text name="PageTitle" id="PageTitle"
value="<%=strPageTitle%>" >
How do I "escape" any quotes, accidental carriage returns etc that are
contained within strPageTitle? Do I have to use a series of replace()
functions, or is there a cunning way that makes it OK?
(Using escape(strPageTitle) fills the box with % signs...)

I am currently developing a registration application for the Boy Scouts. We have paper forms for those who choose not to use a computer to register. The paper forms have a box for each letter so that it is legible. how can i re-create the paper forms with ASP. For those who go online and register they need to print out the youths registration forms and I want them to look like the paper forms.
Now there are a few fields that are mutliple words so it would have to support spaces as well. Is there even a way to do this. I know it is going to be a pain for the good look it is going to be critical. I was thinking of using strings to simply seperate each letter and tell the script to simply repeat until. Is the right way?

Email Validation Strings
I've got a couple of strings I use to validate emails.
I have no idea what either of them do or what they mean! I found them, they work, so I use them!
Could somebody let me know what these mean? My guess is that the longer string is better, simply because it tests more thoroughly, but I could be mistaken.
String1 = ""^([a-zA-Z0-9_-.]+)@(([[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9-]+.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(]?)$""
String2 = "^w+([-+.]w+)*@w+([-.]w+)*.w{2,}$"
