Executing A Batch File From Asp?
We're trying to write an application that will allow a user to enter an id field from an ASP intranet page and when they hit the enter button, fire off a print job. The problem is, Adobe must be open as the items being printed are PDFs.
We tried firing off a print command using MS SQL cmdShell() (not sure if that is the exact name of the command) and it works, but it never completes. The process hangs in the database because, we think, it hasn't closed Adobe, therefore never coming back to the query. We wrote the query into an ASP page.
Adobe must be open or the documents won't print properly.
Does anyone have any suggestions to how we can automate this?

Security issues, warning messages, etc., aside,
what MIME-type combination do I need for and ASP to write a BAT file to the response stream?
e.g.
Response.Clear
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=message.bat"
Response.Write("net send COMPUTER2 success")
Response.End()
This code does not work!
Which is surprising because in my current config, the following html works fine, and executes on the shell:
<A href="message.bat">test</A>

I have a batch file that needs to execute every day and I need to run it in a silent/invisible mode. I looked up on the Internet and found this command: shell("batchfilename.bat").
Upon failure, learned that it is a Visual Basic command and not VBScript command. I wonder if anyone knows how to run a batch file using vbscript that runs in invisible mode?

I'm trying to call a batch file that I've built using the FileSystemObject and CreateObject("Wscript.Shell"), oShell.Run. in an asp script. Naturally, I can get the script to work from a command line but not from abrowser. The page does not throw an error but the oShell.Run. portion of the script doesn't run.

I'm trying to run the server.execute command inside a executed file. It doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why? I've searched all around and haven't found a reason. Could it be because it's not supose to work, or is the syntax diferent then in the first file?
It's something like this:
File 1
...
<%Server.Execute("File2.asp")%>
...
File 2
...
<%Server.Execute("file3.asp")%>
...
File 3
<HTML>
<body>
Hello!
</body>
</HTML>
Is this possible?

I've tried instantiating the Windows Script Host shell object in ASP,
and I'm trying to run this command: "cscript.exe myvbs.vbs parameter1
parameter2"; however, the server runs cscript.exe very briefly, and the
task ends. Note, it runs fine from a command prompt. Do I need to give
the anonymous user any special permissions in order to do this?

I have a batch file that takes variables from the cmd and passes them by sqlcmd to an SQL script. When I pass the variable 'MikeTestList' the script runs as expected with no problems. When I passed 'BulkTransferTest' I got an error message, 'The string or binary data will be truncated'.
Some testing has shown that I get the error when the string is anything above 12 characters. Is there a limit to the length of a string you can pass using sqlcmd from a batch file? Is there any way around it?
Also, if I have a space in the string, it only passes the string up to the space. I have tried to fill it with a '%' which then gets passed as is, so the % stays in place through out the script. Code:

Is there a way to determine the filepath of an ASP script being executed, like so? First file contains:
<%
For Each x In arrNuggets
Server.Execute "/nuggets/" & x & "/default.asp"
Next
%>
The executed file, default.asp, needs to be able to figure out what it's parent folder name is.
Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") only returns the name of the first initial page loaded, and nothing about the page currently being executed.

We have LOADS of documents scanned to PDF format, stored
in SQL tables.Allowing a client to browse our ASP driven site to select
and view individual PDFs has been no problem. ("index"
table is queried to show list of available PDFs, user
clicks a link in the list, PDF reader shows the document
in a new window.)
Now, they would like a feature that would PRINT (at their
location) batches of documents via the website,
preferablely with a single click.

First, a little background. I'm developing an order management system for my company and I want to be able to print a batch of packing slips in one go without pulling each one up on the screen and clicking 'Print'.
How can I do this in ASP? The only way I can come up with is to loop through the records and concatenate a string with the HTML code and then send that string to the printer. But, I'm not exactly sure that's the best way or if it is even possible.
I want to basically click a button that says "Print All Packing Slips" and never see an output screen.

i have to start a batch process from a dll to transfer
files created by this dll to remote ftp server. I created
a batch file:
ftp -n -v -i -s:D:atchftpcmds.txt ftp-server
and a file containing the ftp commands:
user username password
lcd D:atchmedia
mput *.*
quit
It works pefectly when i start it from the dosbox. But
when i call it from the vb dll implemented in IIS (shell
("D:atch ransfer.bat")), it does not complete the
transfer and hangs after 400-500 (small) files.

I have a web page that sends emails to groups of recipients. It uses CDONTS to send each email. While it works fine for sending a small amount of emails out, it chokes the page when sending to large amount of email addresses. Basically, it loops through each email address and sets the CDONTS object each time. I need to do this because each email is personalized.
Does anyone have any thoughts around how to optimize this code. Is there anyway in ASP to send the code to a background process for example?

I need to send batch html emails out from a db mailing list (anything up to 1000 in one go).I am using CDOSYS and standard ASP. My problem is that it will error if I try to do any more that 5 every 30 seconds - this is fine when I send them out myself (I have a script to do this) but now I need a program which will allow users to send out batches and I want it to appear seamless.

I have a form that users enter details of a car (e.g make model , idnumber#) and then press save to save to the database they may want to order 10 cars with the same details exept the idnumber so to save the users entering in all 5 details I want to make it easier.
Should I have a list box and let the user add idnumber items from a text box and then pass this to my update asp and loop through + to save to the database or should I
save one record and then return back to the same form Note : I am having problems with this method as only part of the fields show when I hit the back button I just wondered what is the best method of doing this I am spoilt for choice and I also get problems.

if anyone has experience in building the ability to upload/insert multiple images from one directory on the client machine to an Access database via asp. The process would be to click on the browse button for the correct images and you would be able to click on multiple images using ctrl or shift button and then insert the selected files into the database. Can this be done?

how to go about sending a batch of sql statements from asp to sql server, and
having errors appropriately handled? for example,
i want to send the following stored procedure calls to sql server in a
single batch from my asp code, rather than using a loop in asp to execute
each procedure individiually. if one of these fails, they all should fail.
exec myProc @param1 = 'A'
exec myProc @param1 = 'B'
exec myProc @param1 = 'C'
exec myProc @param1 = 'D'
exec myProc @param1 = 'E'
exec myProc @param1 = 'F'

I found this asp code in this forum but can not get it to work with my
command
<%
Dim oShell, sCommand
sCommand = "MyCommand"
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run sCommand, , True
Set oShell = Nothing

I replace "MYCommand" with the command i wish to execute but the page
just hangs with the blue status bar halfway complete at the bottom,
when checking the services on the box it is not restarted.
