Document Page Interactions
I've done quite a bit of programming, from Dartmouth BASIC, through FORTRAN, COBOL, Java, to Perl. I have inherited a set of web pages that use ASP and ACCESS to implement a job posting board. Its originator did not provide documentation. A page will do some work then invoke another page with certain name-value pairs. It may also set some session variables along the way. Before I can make needed changes, I need a way to document for myself just what the page set does now.
What is the best way to document data flow from page to page? What session variables this page creates? uses? alters?
What name value pairs it receives/expects?

I have a server with a Word document and an Access database on it. I
also have an ASP page running on the server. The Word document
contains a mail merge with the Access database. What I want to do is
open the merged Word document from the ASP page when a button is
clicked.
I have tried several things including some scripting that I
found on the internet. This scripting works, however it opens the
merged document on the server instead of on the user's local machine.
I want the Word document to open on the local machine instead.

First of all, yes we are still using classic ASP, lol. I have a XSL
document that is reading in info from a XML file. I have to display
serveral server side dates on the page. Is there anyway to use ASP
code inside a XSL document.
I have tried the following.
<![CDATA[ <%=Date()%]]>
This does not work. In the view source the < and get changed to
&ls; and >. Is this possible? Is there any other way to read a
server side date from this xsl page? If not I will have to re design
the hole page.

Is it possible to get the current document name (file name only) in ASP? When I load a document, i.e. /a/b/default.asp, I would like to be able to get the name of the document I'm currently loading (default.asp) to do some processing before displaying the contents.

I want to do a Ms Word document in a ASP page. I can do it, With the code lines:
/////
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "inline; filename=OrderFax.doc"
////
With these lines all document content show like a Word document.
But i can not change the MARGINS of this Word document.And Default
left/right margins are very bigs.
I try it, change the <body> attributes and with styles, but this don't work,
the margins are always the same.
How can i modify the margins of word document? I should do this with another method?
Can I modify PC client settings to change the defaults margins of word document create througt the web?

I'm currently working on an application that has to open word documents (word forms) and read and write data from/to it. But, unfortunately, the web server hasn't Word installed (my ISP...). Is there any other way to do that?
I'm currently investigating about working with rtf documents, but the syntax is turning me crazy!!! Any idea/dll/other way to do that?

I am writing a little ASP script that reads the URL and generates a navigable breadcrumb trail from it. It is highly dependant on the filename and folders being named appropriately and consistently.
However, what would be prefereable is for the file that you are currently reading to be generated in the breadcrumb base on the document <title> instead of the actual file name.
Is it possible in ASP to read a <title> attribute?
Naturally, the ASP script would be in the <body> of the document and as such the <title> would already have been written to the client.

I am working on an asp page, where I need to set the title to a variable. I have tried
Code:
<% document.title = variableName %>
I even tried
Code:
<% response.write "<title> " & variableName & " </title>" %>
That doesn't work either. I need to set the title to a variable on a dymanic ASP page

I've been looking (unsuccessfully) for a tutorial on creating Word documents from ASP. I know it can be done and have been able to find some references to various aspects of this, but nothing that spells out the process from beginning to end.
What I'm trying to accomplish is being able to generate a paper document using some information that is contained in an Access database. I have a ASP script that will generate the same info on the screen, but nothing that will put it on paper in a clean, professional format.

I am creating a word document from an asp page. I have no problems
actaully creating the document and creating some tables that have data
in them. I am using Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"
to create the actual document. My problem is that I want to place a
picture (which resides on the server) into the word document as well.
However all I seem to get is the place for the image but a picture of
an "x" meaning that the picture is missing.

I have a site which offers documents (.doc, .pdf, etc.) for download. The user clicks on the link and is able to download the file or open it. What if the source location of the document is behind a firewall of a remote server (i.e. not the server running the ASP application)?
How can the link be configured in such a way so that security parameters are passed to the firewall to authenticate the access. This must be seamless to the user, i.e. they mustn't know there's any authentication happening behind the scenes.

Not a problem with my code, but something I would like to add, (ASP
VBScript) at the moment I have a form where a user uploads their details
including a document (Doc, PDF, TXT, Docx) The document is uploaded to a
folder on the server with the address being stored in the database and I'm
tracking the user id through sessions.
What I would like to do after the upload is redirect to a blank page, where
some script extracts the data from the document and inserts it into another
field on the database associated with the user id, I think this may be called
parsing, but I'm at a complete loss, I don't suppose you guys have any ideas
on this do you.

I have an XML file on one of my websites, for example lets call this: http://www.mydomain.com/Data.xml.
I would like to load this file on another one of my websites by createing a Microsoft.XMLDOM object and loading the file. i.e... http://www.myOTHERdomian.com/loadData.asp
I know that you can load files using a URL but does the URL have to be within the same domain? And if so is there a way around that? If not is there another thing I could be doing wrong? My code is as simple as this: Code:

Ok, I have two pages. One that displays the table (page a), and one that exports the table to Excel (page b). When you click the "Export to Excel" link on page a, page b automatically opens up the save/open dialogue box for the Excel document.
Everything works fine on my computer (whether you choose to open or save), however on MOST computers it seems, the Excel document is blank with the exception of the column headers. Here is the code for page b which does all the exporting. Code:
