We have numerous pages that allow users to download textfiles. To invoke the File Download Dialog, we use ASP, FSO and ADODB Stream. It worked fine in SP1. In SP2, however, once downloading is done, the window that opened the File Download Dialog automatically closes. Any idea what's causing this? Where can I find information on SP2 in relation to FSO and ADODB Stream?

View Replies View RelatedI have data that needs to write to a temp table (there is a lot of data sometimes). Once they are finished, the user approves their input and it goes to a permanent table.
I give them the option of deleting that data by cancelling their request.
The problem I have, just to be on the safe side, what can I do to protect myself if the user closes or perhaps browses away from the page? Is there any sort of an window command whereby I could enable a sort of a kill-like function?
The help is not very informative here, but it says, that it is possible to
download files, by using the 'a' tag. What I am trying to do, is create a
link, that the user clicks, which will download a file from the server. This
works fine for most files, but for things like TXT and HTM, they open in the
browser window. I want the 'Save As' dialog box to appear, instead.
If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.txt'>myfile</a>"
I get the contents of myfile.txt displayed in the browser window. If I use;
Response.Write "<a href='http://mydomain/myfile.mdb'>myfile</a>"
I get the 'save file as' dialog box appear. How do I force the 'save file
as' dialog box to appear for ALL files
I tried using the 'FileSystemObject' and using the 'Copy' method of GetFile.
But this does not allow you to have a 'user defined' path to save the file
(which is pretty obvious, as this is the server side)... Is there another
function that I can use, or is there a property setting of the anchor tag,
that I need to set

I have the following problem:
working on a "downlad-module" within a larger website, i tried several methods for downloading-files to the user.
mabye some basic infos first:
the website runs on win server 2003, using sql server 2000-database; pages are written in classic asp. The idea behind is, that all possible download-files (flyers, brochures, some it-stuff.. means pdf, docs, exe, zip-files.. "standard-mixed-stuff, i would say) are of course stored outside the website-root and are uploaded using a cms.
for each file, the information is stored in a database (not the file itself). beside path and filename, also content-type, descriptiton, user-restrictions etc.
within the page, the user will than receive a list of possible download files.
by clicking on the link, i redirect to a "download.asp"-page, where i just want to start the download by sending the file to the user. so far - so bad :-)
i tried 2 free components (TabsUpload; aspSmartUpload)and also a simple response.BinaryWrite and here´s the problem: everything works fine, as long as i am messing round with other file formats than ZIP (!). I can use the system for downloading pdfs, exe, docs... but when i want to dl a zip-file, the system "hangs up" (only the browser wants to connect endlessly.. its not a crash, because i can stop it by using ESC-key)
one interesting thing:
when i use the the BinaryWrite-method, a file is downloaded - but of course not the zip file - it is a html-page with the wrong content-type ;-) using a text/hex-editor, you can find this error message: Response Buffer Limit Exceeded
possible solution for this would normaly be, to turn Response.Buffer = False
but, for using either binaryWrite or one of the components, Response.Buffer should be set to True, as far as i know...
so anyway, here is the source-code: ...
how to automatically "include" all .asp files from a folder? Say I have an ASP page and there's a folder with 3 documents in it: /myfolder/file1.asp, /myfolder/file2.asp, /myfolder/file3.asp.
In my ASP page I want to automatically create server-side includes for all files in that folder so that if I ever add /myfolder/file4.asp, it'll automatically be included in whatever ASP page I have calling this function.
Is there a command in ASP to get a browser window so you can select a file to add to a DB?
For example: you press a button and you get a browser window?
Right now I am trying to use a very simple cookie store some information. The 2 lines of code I am using are:
<%
productsperpage=Request.Cookies("ctcppp")
Response.Cookies("ctcppp")=productsperpage

There is more code to the entire thing I am using the cookie for but these are the only 2 lines that actually involve the cookie "ctcppp".
It seems to work for the session but if you close your browser and open the page it resets back to the default. Can anyone tell me why?

View Replies View RelatedI'am not familiar wit ASP but I have to maintain an application. In a window there are some text selection fields and a search button. If you press on the search button record list is build according to what is filled in the selection fields. You can select a record and then a detailed window is shown or in another occasion a popup window is shown.
The request is now if the opened window or popup window is closed, then the opener window has to be opened with the same content (content selection fields + record list) as it was before the window or popup is opened.
Now I thought that I have read that every window which is opened gets an ID and that it is possible to call up that window by the ID from the cache again. Is that right? And if so? Or has somebody a better idea. Code:
I have a problem and it's pretty basic. I need to install PWS on a Windows NT Workstation 4.0 PC in college but cannot find a download just for PWS. I've done a search of the web and microsoft's download site and still no luck.
Installing IIS is not an option as Im technically not allowed to install anything and I'd rather it be PWS than a bigger and more noticeable IIS. I've heard that it comes on the Windows 98 disk but unfortuneatly I do not access to one.
Does anyone know of a link to download PWS? I've heard that it comes with an NT Option Pack aswell but can I just install PWS from this or will it change other settings?

I am developing an app that has a reporting function
which displays the non-PDF reports. One of the users
wishes to have the reports saved to his machine as PDFs.
The app can convert the reports, and save to the server
with no problem (uses a component for this). The problem
is, figuring out how to save the reports to the client.
The ideal approach would be to have the app save the
reports to his desktop, like some of those stupid casino
sites save their shortcut links.
However, I would settle for just just being able to force
the "download" dialog to display, instead of opening
Acrobat when the app attempts to send the report to the
client.

View Replies View RelatedI'm developing a system for a person person to only be download the image once, but I have to allow for lose of connection for what ever reason. I've got the basic system working using SMS wap push.
I don't really want to give them a time window to download the item in as that leaves the possibility of them sharing with their friends, or not getting to download the image if the window expires.
What I want to do is use a querystring in the link to make the reference unique and flag in the DB when they've downloaded. Trouble is I can't figure out how to know when they've downloaded the image.
My train of thought has gone to getting some way to monitor how much of the image has been downloaded. Any one know how to do this? Or better yet anyone have any altrnative suggestions?
