Check Whether Path Is Valid
I have one asp page in which i ask the user to enter the path. This then transfers the control to next asp page. In the next page i want to check whether the path is valid or not. I know there are methods of FileSystemObject like DriveExists, FolderExists and FileExists but these has to be used individually.
Suppose the user enters the path as "D:" then i should use DriveExists
and if the user enter the path as "D:/test" the i should use FolderExists
i.e i have to use individual functions. How to check this using one function only
Another problem is that i want to display the message on the page for some seconds and then the control should transfer to next page. How do i go about it.

I use the following code to chck for a working url. It does work for some, but sites that seem to be written in PHP, and google, seem to return a "fail" - I can't figure out how to get p-ast this.
Dim objHTTP
Dim sHTML
Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, False
objHTTP.send
sHTML=objHTTP.statusText
if err or sHTML<>"OK" Then
sTxt="fail"
else
sTxt="ok"
End if
Set objHTTP=nothing
else
sTxt="fail"
End if

Say I retrieve and e-mail adress from a form like this, then I know how to check that it's not empty, contain numbers etc. but I don't know how to check that the e-mail complies with some kind of regular expression or the like.
Therefore I wonder if you have any good e-mail form validation code that can be used on the server side (comparable to Java Script reg.exp on the client side).
<%
Dim mail
mail = request.form("email")
IF mail = "" or mail does not complain with some kind of reg. exp THEN
some code....
End IF

Is this sql statement valid?
strQ = "SELECT *"
strQ = strQ & " FROM Receipt"
strQ = strQ & " WHERE Receipt.Expense ='Inventory' AND Receipt.ReceiptDate Between #1/1/2005# And #12/31/2005#"
strQ = strQ & " ORDER BY Receipt.ReceiptDate"
What I like it to do is select all references to "Inventory" under the field Expense for the entire year of 2005, with the results sorted by date ascending.

If you use ASP.NET you can still make valid xhtml code right? Becuase Visual Studio .NET 2003 doesn't care if it's <br> or <br /> thats bad in my opinion =) You know if Whidbey will make better xhtml?

Main folder is "Web". In the "WEB" folder some asp file resides. another folder named "Admin" also reside in the "WEB" folder. My DB resides in the DB folder that is outside of the "WEB" folder and on the same root where "WEB" folder is.
I have a file named Connect.asp which contains the path for DB. I have included this file in both user files (which are simply in web folder) and in the administrator files. But when the admin tries to log-in the file didn't read the appropriate path as it finds the DB in the WEB folder. But it works fine when i communicate with the DB through user files.

I'm writing an ASP validation script that uses a cookie that is created by a user validation page and has a single value. This site will be used only under Internet Explorer 5 and more recent.
My problem is that the page called after the cookie creation can't read the cookie unless I set the Cookie.Path attribute to "". All the documentation that I found about it is very brief, don't explain how it really works and if there's any kind of "side effects". An even stranger fact is that some people of my team can read the cookie without setting the Cookie.Path attribute.
Can anyone tell me how the Cookie.Path really works or witch browser settings make it needed (or not)?

I'm trying to concatenate a path of Application("WebSiteFullPath") which
equals http://www.mywebsite.com/ and an image file like CODE below. My
problem is the full path listing in RESULTS below adds an extra " quote and
obviously breaks the path to the image. How can I script the quotes to not
add the extra double quote between my website path variable and my image
path?CODE:
Response.Write "<img border=""0"" src=""" &
Application("WebSiteFullPath") & """images/edit.gif"" width=""15""

im having a problem with folder path in include files. I have a solution, but there must be a way better one. The problem is when i have an include file... menu.inc in my root directory root/. This menu.inc references images in the root/images/ folder.
I also have an articles folder root/articles/. The menu.inc is included in files in the articles folder, however this messes up the image paths and files in the articles folder are looking for the images in root/articles/images/.
to combat this, in front of every image reference in my menu.inc file, i have a variable <%= pathVar %>. At the top of every file in the articles folder, i have the command <% pathVar = "../" %>. this will insert a ../ before the images folder in the reference therfore correcting the image reference. In the root folder I use <% pathVar = "" %> , so the <%= pathVar %> amounts to nothing leaving the paths correct.
This works, however means having to switch from HTML to ASP mode for every image in the include file, which is not efficient. Is there a better way around the path problem.

if you need to place the path to your database, what path do you place when you are having you site hosted by a web hosting company. For example my database is in a folder called "db" and its called "company.mdb"
the path I'm using is: "Data Source=c:dbcompanx.mdb"
but I keep getting a "database can't be found error" what path am I to assume they used. I mean its probably not a "C" drive so what do I place? I tried it without placing the drive but it doesn't work it seems to want only the direct path.
