Does anybody know some code that opens a spreadsheet in excel rather than the browser? If possible something that can be used with response.redirect, however this isn't essential. I have a script that creates an excel report, and people then open this report from a link. However I've been asked whether it could be opened in excel.
when i try to open an excel spreadsheet using the following code, the process just hangs IF the spreadsheet contains macros:
Set objXls = CreateObject("Excel.Application") objXls.DisplayAlerts = False objXls.Visible = False objXls.Workbooks.Open my_excel_path '<-- hangs here
this worked on iis4, but since moving this to iis5 it fails under the aformentioned circumstances. my guess is that the macro security has something to do with it as a dialog box will pop up if macro security is set to medium, but i'm not sure this is really the problem. if it was, what profile should change the macro security on the server? when task manager is opened on the server to see the hanging task, it shows SYSTEM as the process owner...
I have created one dynamic chart creation application using vb dll. If I call this function from vb it is working fine. But If i call this function from ASP i got error while opening the excel file line. I have windows 2000 server. Do i need to give any permission for this? The same coding is working fine in NT server.
is it possible to open an excel file (used as a template) from server using server-side vbscript; then modify it or add values from client using client-side vbscript?
The following code can generate excel file,however i discovery that if there are more than one user load is asp,only one user can load it sucessfully.If the 1st user have already load it,when the 2nd user load it,the 2nd one can load it while the 1st user 's page will be disappeared.. Code:
I have an application that returns a PDF document to the browser (not as a download). The document is returned in a new window. This works fine in most installations, but I have one installation where it doesn't work in IE, but does work in Netscape. At the installation where it doesn't work IE returns the file download dialog box instead of just opening the file. When I click open or save it complains that it can't find the file. I suspect the problem is with the file name.
IE is generating a very long file and I'm guessing it is getting confused. My code did not originally set the file name, so I'm trying to solve the problem by setting the file name. Here's the code that I'm using, but it doesn't seem to have any affect. Does anyone see why this doesn't work? objHttpConn is an HTTP control that is used to retrieve the PDF document.
PS We are hosting the web sites where it does work and were it doesn't work and I'm testing using my PC. The only difference is the version of the application that returns the PDF document. All the machines are 2000 servers with IE 6.0 SP1. Code:
I have a slight problem, I'm trying to open a textfile that has been saved as UTF-8. But when I run it it displays strange chars eventhough i've specified that it should read the file as UTF-8 using the OpenTextFile method of the filesystemobject. I need to open the file, then insert data to a database, nothing will get printed out on screen so its not a html-charset

Doc_ID Doc_Name Doc (this is a word doc stored as an OLE object in ms access)

I am trying to open a DB connection in an ASP file (with an HTML interface). I have some idea how to do it, but I am not quite sure. It is linking to an Access DB. It is very simple, I am posting some data to the DB. Only one connection is needed to open.
In the following snippet of code, I can not get my openBrWindow command to work. Does anyone see anything that jumps out at them that is obviously wrong? Code:
I have an Access DB that has a linked table to a SQL Anywhere DB. When I try to access this Access DB, it prompts me the first time every time for username and password to the SQLA DB. This isn't a problem when it is just me that is working on development, however,
I figured MS would have something good to say about this issue, so that my users can use this DB as well. MS says I need to pre-open the table using the same credentials for both DB's. I have tried this several ways, and am still unable to open the linked access DB.
The error I get is that the DSN=xsellvehicles (this is the DSN that is used by Access to open the table that resides in SQLA) can't be used because the username or password doesn't work.
I want to open a new window from ASP page, which may not inherit sessions values from its parent.
I'm opening a new window (JS:window.open) from an ASP page, the child window inherits all the session variables from parent (thats what i dont want). and if I write session.abandon in the child ASP file, it also destroys the parent 's session values. how I can open an ASP page in new window which doesn't inherit sessions from parent.
I'm on a project for a government application. For a given domain object, there is a report that is pre-generated, converted to PDF, and stored in the database.
The client wants to have a list of these domain objects, each one with a print icon at the end (which is already done).
The problem is when they click on the print icon, a postback is acceptable, but basically they want to hit the database, download the PDF, stream it to the browser, and print it, all without any pop-ups.
In short, other than the blink of a page for a post-back, they want Win App functionality of clicking print, and a PDF printing without any other interaction (downloading the PDF, file-> print, etc).
Since its a PDF, I know this isn't possible with Javascript. I have no experience with ActiveX whatsoever, so I was hoping for advice on whether this was completely impossible, and the level of effort involved.
I think its impossible, but I want to at least say I've done my homework before I tell the consultant that who thinks it can be done.
I am coding in ASP. When there was an error in my code, it used to come up in IE and tell me the error and the line of the code it was on. Now, it's opening Script Debugger on the server all of a sudden, and I no longer see those errors in IE. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?
