Communicate With A Forced "Save As" Dialog Box
I'm puzzled on a how to communicate with a forced "Save As" dialog box. Here's the scene, I've got this script that creates a fun little file on the web server then prompts the user to pick a local path to download the same file via "save as" box.
The problem is I can't seem to find a way to grab the results of the save dialog box and react accordingly. For instance, upon a hitting the "Cancel" button I need to perform action B, but if everything works as planned I'd like to perform action A. Is this possible? Can anyone point me in the right direction or build me a stronger wall?

When users submit a Form with a SQL query, the resultset is retrieved from a MS-Access database table which is then exported to an MS-Excel worksheet. After the records get exported to MS-Excel, I want to give users the option to download the Excel file to their local machine.
In other words, when users click a download link, I want the Save As.. dialog box to pop-up so that users can save the Excel file to their local machine (note that I don't want users to view the Excel worksheet in their browser). This is how I tried it: Code:

What is the appropriate control or code to pop a "save as" dialog window to
allow the user of a web page to save a document after they click on a link?
All of the CommonDialog controls obviously are to be used on WinForms, so not
sure how to accomplish this from an aspx page.

I'm trying to force save as dialogue using this code in download.asp..but
when it runs it prompts for download.asp to save or open.
code snippet (from aspfaq.com)
Response.ContentType = "application/x-unknown" ' arbitrary
fn = "wallpaper_1_1.jpg"
Response.write "<br>" & Server.MapPath("wallpaper") & "<br>"
FPath = Server.MapPath("wallpaper") & fn
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" & fn
Set adoStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
adoStream.Open()
adoStream.Type = 1
adoStream.LoadFromFile(FPath)
Response.BinaryWrite adoStream.Read()
adoStream.Close
Set adoStream = Nothing
I want this page to prompt save image option, not page itself.

I am trying to develop a ASP based web system. My Database is MSSQL2000 and Server is IIS6(WINDOWS 2003). I am using a socket server to connect to my database. This socket server uses a special standard(defined by the socket server developer) of XML tags to communicate with the socket server. This socket server sents back a XML stream as the result from the database query.
My problem is that i want my asp app to communicate with the server to access the database rather than query the database directly. I cannot figure out how to do this kind of a mutitier application. I had a suggestion from my friend that ISAPI Filter would be of some help. But i am new to the concept of ISAPI so i have no idea on how to accomplish my task .

I have a middle-tier written using Foxpro. I'd like this tier to communicate
(that is pass some variables to ASP). I defined a Session variable somewhere
in my ASP file, e.g. Session("Usercode") = Somevalue. Now somewhere else, I
want to change this value. I tried this:
UserSession = CREATEOBJECT('ASPTypeLibrary.Session')
UserSession.Contents("Usercode") = TheUsercode
However, it gives the error: ASPTypeLibrary.Session is not found. However,
VB's object browser lists this

I would have liked to submit a form from a modal web dialog, i.e. a window
opened using showModalDialog() in which there is a form to submit. I thought the
dialog content would be replaced with the submitted page results but I saw a new
instance of MSIE instead.
Is this behaviour normal (I mean expected)? (How) can I replace a web dialog
content with submission page (i.e. the url in the form "action" attribute)
results?

I have a webform with 3 text boxes and a submit button
Based on the first textbox data I'm filling up the remaining two. If the first box data is not found in the database I want to display a confirm dialog box. I need to know the return value from this confirm dialog as I have to clear the other fields in the form, if the user hits yes the I should retain the values in the other fields. I have tried hours on it by using hidden variables...but still couldnt get it to work.

I have coded a file upload process in ASP and the current way I allow files to be downloaded, which have been uploaded is by using the <a href> tag. This works but it normally opens the files for the user in a new browser window. What I would like to do is present the user with a download link which opens the Windows File Download dialog box.
I thought there might be an easy way to do this kind of like HTML provides for uploading a file… which is the input type=file (presents the user with the browse button). Is there an easy way to present the user with a Windows File Download dialog box?

I have a web app that converts files. The conversion can take up to 20
minutes depending on the file size and contents.
So, to help the user I want to display an animation (gif/avi/swf) while this
happens. (so that they don't assume it has stopped and go and submit the
file again!)
I have tried all sorts of options but cannot get any animation to play while
IE/NS is waiting for the asp script to process and post back.
anyone got any ideas???

I've created a web application that requires authentication on all pages. One of my pages is an ASP script that runs in a modal web dialog. It has a form to upload a file. To prevent a new window from being spawned I've put an IFRAME as the target of the form submission:
<form action="Image.asp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"
target="Results">
...
<input type="file" size="30" name="ImageFile">
...
</form>
<iframe src="about:blank" name="Results" frameborder="0"></iframe>
When I pick up a file from My Documents I get an authentication prompt as soon as I submit the form. I don't get that authentication prompt when I run the script in a normal window (i.e. in a non dialog window). If I select a file from anywhere beyond the wwwRoot folder I don't get the authentication prompt either.
Is it normal or is it a bug in MSIE? I would have sworn IIS had nothing to do with client-side file access when uploading files!
I'm running Windows XP SP1 with IE6 SP1.

I have a web page that opens a modal dialog (client side) in the
following manner
onclick="window.showModalDialog('/dialog.asp',null,'dialogHeight: 200px;
dialogWidth: 400px; dialogTop: 300px; dialogLeft: 150px; edge: Sunken;
center: Yes; help: No; resizable: No; status: No;');">
and the page loads in the modal dialog no problem.
Now, the asp page is a form that submits to itself and so the modal dialog
contains a form that submits to itself.
This is fine except that submitting the form opens a new window.
what I would like to happen is submit the form and it comes back to display
itself in the modal dialog again. if the form processing detects an error I
will leave the form displayed, if no error is detected then I will close the
window using some client side javascript.
however I am having trouble getting the modal dialog form to submit back to
itself and redisplay again within the modal dialog.

Some users of my ASP app keep getting a login dialog for no apparent reason when they first use the application. They're using Internet Explorer clients and the web site's access control is set to NTLM authentication. I've set read access onthe server directory containing the ASP pages to the [Authenticated Users] group.
Is there something I'm missing or is this a known issue perhaps caused by a recent security patch?
