I've been trying to create read-only global variables by creating constants (Const) in my global.asa, but I can't seem to reference them. Sticking them in an include works fine, but it seems more structurally sound to use Application_OnStart. Am I attempting the impossible, and if so, why?
View RepliesI'm trying to transfer an intranet app from one server to another. I'm
having a problem with the ADO constants on the destination server.
Our intranet site runs on the server.
In a virtual directory, I have a seperate application that is accessible
from the intranet.
I have the following in the global.asa in the virtual directory:
<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib"
UUID="2A75196C-D9EB-4129-B803-931327F72D5C"
NAME="Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library"-->
This usually allows me to refer to the ADO constants, e.g.
Set rsLoc = oConn.Execute (sSQL, iAffected, adCmdText)
However, in this case, IIS is complaining... Variable is undefined:
'adCmdText'
This is a new (clean) server, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of
confirguration issue..
I'm relatively new to coding activex and I have a problem. I've written an activex component in c++ and I am now using asp/vb pages to access the object. Is it possible to access constants that I've defined in the activex object? For example, can I do something like the following:
Dim constantValue
Set activeX = CreateObject("MyObject.MyClass.1")
constantValue = activeX.MY_CONSTANT_VALUE
Is it possible that both adUseClient and adLockOptimistic does not really work with ASP ?When I use 3 for both - it does.
View Replies View RelatedI realize that this isn't a VBS newsgroup, but it's the only Microsoft newsgroup I read regularly so I hope that you'll be gentle with me. Where is the constant "vbCrLf" defined? My computer has been searching its hard drive for about three hours, now, looking for a definition and it still hasn't found anything.
The reason I'd like to find vbCrLf is because I wonder what else is in there. Is there a vbTab? vbBackspace?
I've been searching for a complete listing of the CDO constants, but have
come up empty. Where can I find a listing of all the CDO named constants
that can be referenced directly with the CDO metadata typelib, i.e.,

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to put a condition in my Global.asa file based on the server
name.the reason, I want to set a global string as a application variable based on
the server I am on.
I also need to set a coonection string based on the value of the server.
I need to use this connection string to retrieve values from an sp in
application on start that sets a load of global variables so I can't really
do this anywhere else.
I have a site which until this morning, was on a remote server. The structure was that the "site" was actually a folder on the server, as I am designer and use this arrangement to develop sites. Under the root directory, I had modified the global asa file to include session variables. Ok, so I download the site (folder) to my hard drive, and put it in the folder of "MY Documents" called MyWebs. I then opened VB Studio and created a new solution, which is pointing to the before mentioned directory in My Documents. When I pull the site up in IE, the session variables were not being called, and I realized I had not copied over the asa file. So I did so, placing a copy of it in the hard drive's c inetpub wwwroot directory, and also directly in the my docs mywebs directory,and the site's directory as well. It seems it is still not being called.Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
View Replies View RelatedIs the Global.asa file resolved before parsing the 'Include' (files) or
after parsing the 'Include' (files)?
I have IIS 5.0 installed on for a test server. the global.asa file runs perfectly.
when tryng the same application on win server 2003 IIS 6.0 the global.asa does not fire. i have set the application as a virtual site and given rights for iwam and iusr. What else could be the problem. Code:
How does IIS 6.0 treat the global.asa file? I had the following problem;
1. uploaded a new site to the win3k server
2. had incorrect db connection string in Session_OnStart in global.asa and website caused errors.
3. Changed the global.asa file to include the correct details. Saved the file. Still got the same errors.
I could not resolve this unless restarting the WWW Service on this server. In IIS 5.0 the global.asa file would reload after resaving it (as the timestamp is updated).
I even waited the next day before restarting the service because I though Session_OnStart expires after my session ends...but the error was still there
in the morning.
Hopefully someone will make sense of it for me. Here is the code (I inherited) in the global.asa
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("DB.ConnectionString")= ""
Application("MaxLoginAttempts") = 5
Set Application("Con") = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Session("Test") = Now()
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart....

View Replies View Relatedi'm a little bit confused with using application_onstart.. as u can see in the following code... my DB connection and SQL statements is currently included in my application_onstart event.. but, unfortunately, i wasn't able to reference Application("sUser") in my asp when i tried to run my website Code:
View Replies View RelatedWe have over 100 asp pages that reference a table (distribution_components). We added a new column and primary key to that table, so now we have to modify the where clause to include that column (we have to make the new column = to a session variable in the page)
The table appears 531 times in our code. Is there some util or method that allows us to change it globally, other than going to each occurrance, and adding the new column to the where clause.
Basically session_onend will not fire in my global.asa files! I have just made a very simple test to prove its not my programming and it still doesnt fire.
Session_onstart works a treat but onend will not work even if you force the session to expire with abandon. I have tried on 2 of our servers now and it doesnt work on either.
my simple test is this:
Sub Session_OnEnd
application("test") = "hello"
End Sub
Now surely that should work. i obviously have a page that writes that test variable to the page but its always empty.
Set IE 6.0 ver. X to "Block all Cookies" in privacy settings and try
this code in three separate files.
<-- Global.asa -->
sub Session_OnStart
response.cookies("test") = "-1"
end sub
<-- Global.asa -->
<-- testcookie1.asp -->
<%Response.Redirect("testcookie2.asp")%>
<-- testcookie1.asp -->
<-- testcookie2.asp -->
<%=request.cookies("test")%>
<-- testcookie2.asp -->
I get "-1" on testcookie2.asp
Anyone else get the same result?
Why am I getting the cookie in this test?
So when *does* Session_OnEnd fire in my Global.asa file? Does it fire when
they click a link to leave the site? Does it fire when the session times out?

View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP application that is a electronic purchase orders system. My
problem is that only 3 people can authorise a purchase order. When a
purchase order is selected I update the table to show that the field is
locked. If they complete the form then the database is updated and the lock
is removed, all though at this stage the record moves into another part of
the system and the lock becomes redundant.
If however they dont complete the form the record is left in a permanent
locked state, it could be that they decided to look at the record then
navigated away or closed the browser.
So i thought maybe i could stick some code that updates the database into
the session_OnEnd in the global.asa, so after 20 minutes when the session has
ended the lock will free. I don't however have any experience with this and
don't even know if this will work. The code won't be a problem its just
whether this process will actually work.
I am thinking that I code put the order_id into a session variable then when
the session variable ends i run a sub in the .asa file that gets the session
variable and updates the table.
I am in much need of some help with my global.asa file. I use ASP and mySQL. In a nutshell, When a registered user logs in, a field in I have a field that gets updated in my DB Table. It is a TINYINT. When they log in, it updates the value to 1, when they log out, it updates it to 0. I use a tiny iFrame to create a loop displaying users with the value of 1. Basically a cheasy "Who's Online" function.
How ever I am now trying to create a global.asa file to say when the session times out, I want the global file to just update the value back to 0. I am also attempting it so that if the users browser window closes and then gets reopened PRIOR to the timeout limit, It knows they are still logged in. I can provide my script if anyone thinks they can help. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think my final thought would be that when the user closes their browser, that the session ends and the DB field gets updated from a 1 to a 0.
i'm trying to update my db when the user sessions expires..... So i put the codes below on the golbal.asa file... i tried it a few times but this code wont work... but when i tried in Sub session_on_start it is okay... i notice that we could not use server.mappath or any other objects/variable other than Session or Application variable on global.asa .... have any of u guyz trtied the same thing and works
