I have a machine ftp-ing a file into a directory where a script picks it up and does something to it. I dont want the script to process the file if the file is still being copied.the only way I can figure out to do this is to check the size of the file... then wait 'n second and check the size again. and if the size is exactly the same... then asume its all there. but this doesn't seem like the right way to do it. is there no easy way or simple property I can check to see if its done?
I have a requirement to record in a database when a file is finished downloading to the end-user. Currently when a user clicks a download icon for a file it directs to an ASP page that records the "hit" into a database, then I use a response.redirect "filename.exe" to point the user to the download.
What I'm missing is knowing when the download is complete so I can update the database to show the file successfully completed its download. Is there a way to do this with ASP? A way to do this with an aftermarket component?
I have a simple asp form which writes to a csv. The code it's based on (from "ASP for Dummies") is:
Set peoplefile - _ filesys.OpenTextFile( _ "c:inetpubwwwrootgbgbpeople.txt",1)
The form is going live soon, and I'd like just a dash of due diligence in terms of security. I tried using a relative link to the gbpeople.txt file which didn't work. Is there a better way around this without reinventing?
I've got a variable that can hold one or more words called strUserName. I want to display the complete value of that variable in a form field but I only get the first word
How can I retrieve the complete URL of the current page? (by using ASP, not Javascript!)
What I mean is this - I have a long URL something like: https://www.zzzzzz.com:8080/zzzz/zzz.asp?aaa=1&bbb=2#a1
I know I can read parts of URL through server variables, such as PATH_INFO, QUERY_STRING etc. and then concate the string variable, but that is not enough! I need to request the COMPLETE URL like I mentioned in the example.
I need a function that would retain a value like 112.50 as opposed to 112.5. It is needed for currency values and display. I tried using cSng, cCur, but they all seem to trunicate the zero.
i dont know if this should be a mysql question or a asp question...
i have a database that stores all the orders and each orders total. How can i make it so that i can add all the order totals together, to get a final total
We are planning to improve the present search (Product DB search). Is there any way on ASP script to make an auto complete text box, loaded with the product names (like in google suggest). I hear AJAX, can that be used with ASP scripts?
If I type the letter "A" it jumps to "AAA" in the list. If I type the letters "AB" it jumps to "BAB" as "B" was the last letter typed. Is there a way to have it accept "AB" as "AB" and jump to "ABA"?
I have problem with my page, but IIS only show "The page cannot be displayed". How to display complete error message ? I think I've read this sometimes ago here, but I can't find it.
Right Im close to finishing this nightmare of a website now! 2 things left to do. First is insert images. OK I have done this using Shadow Wizards 'ShadowUploader'. So the way it works on my page is that the user has to upload the file from there local hard drive into the server folder.
Then they browse for that file, hit ok, then submit the form. Can I restrict that browser window only to look in that Images folder on the server instead of being able to browse the whole computer?

I 've coded an asp webpage where a user could toggle a boolean value through a checkbox. When the checkbox was pressed, the page posted the toggle action to itself, a
connection.execute "UPDATE tableName SET fieldName=(Not fieldname) WHERE field_id=1
query was performed and the checkbox, after I had retrieved its new value through a recordset, changed its appearence(state). At first I used an MS Access DB and it worked fine.
After I had switched the hole application to work with MS-SQL, although I changed the above query to Code:
I have been looking everywhere, and can't find a complete function to create tables and columns in access .mdb from ASP, while adding columns that are missing in tables that already exist, can anyone post a link or the code to such function?
I am currently working on a small asp application. Now I would like to store the complete database connection in the application object. Note I want to store the connection NOT the connectionstring. For that purpose I wrote a small asp include which connects to the dbase and stores the connection object to the application object. However when I use this include in my pages then it doesnt work. What I am doing wrong? Here is the code:
I am facing a strange problem. I want to give a functionality to the client where he can download a complete folder from the server. but how to give this functionality is the main problem.
I have one ASP page where I am creating various files of vcf extension dynamically and now I want that client should be able to download all those files. Those files are present in one folder and so I want to give that whole folder to the client.so now I want some trickes/code or URL from you guys to achive this .
I'm playing around with Acrobat at the moment and here's what I need to do.
(1) Have users online fill in a PDF form in Acrobat Reader. (2) The users Submit it as a "complete PDF". (3) It is emailed immediately via CDONTS (MS IIS platform). (4) Users get a thank you message.
I'm currently using an ASP/VBS script for "pure ASP" upload. This script works fine as tested with a standard HTML multipart/form-data form. However, when the PDF is "submitted" the file appears to be lost. ASP can't get hold of it to save it to the server. How on earth do you get this to work?
My required steps are:
(1) Acrobat PDF file submitted. (2) PDF file saved to disk on the server. (3) PDF file attached to email and sent. (4) PDF deleted from server. (5) Thank you message served to user.
Step (2) is the sticking point! (Or rather, somewhere between steps (1) and (2)!) Everything else when independantly tested is fine.
I have already looked in to the FDF stuff at www.planetpdf.com, but I can't use the FDF Toolkit because I can't get it verified, signed off and installed by IT in time for this project's go live date, so I'm bound in to the route I'm taking!
Can anyone shed any light as to why this isn't working, how Acrobat posts the file (the form enctype) or any other sticking points I haven't thought of. Perhaps I can skip a step and just take the file straight from the buffer to the mail attachment?
i am having a problem in how to create a Open File dialog to enable user to select a image file that will be stored into database. i just want the file path to be stored in database, not the image.
It works if the file in on the server side, how to use the component (DSOleFile) with the file on the client side? Also how can I calculate the width of the file. (Page set up - Landscape or porrait). Code:
I need to do online streaming multimedia file on my web portal, just like those online portal that selling MP3. User need to click on the preview link to stream the audio file to listen before they decide to buy the file or not. How do i link my audio file in my web server to allow it to be stream?

This question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with ..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e. "renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:
I'm having a problem with the fact that I want to allow image files to be uploaded to a remote web server, as the hosting package the web site is on is IIS6 and has a default file upload size limit of 200kb. As it's a shared hosting package, the default limit cannot be changed for me unfortunately.
Anyway - i need to check the size of the file being uploaded, so i can notify the user and prevent them getting the default Microsoft error message page. The problem is that I can't implement a server side size check which works, using either Request.TotalBytes or load.getFileSize (with "load" being an object of my loader class). It seems that I can't carry out any of these operations when the file size is too large.
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:
I am using the File System Object to create server side cookies and part of the Function that I am writing deletes a file but I am getting a permissions denied error on that line of code.
I am using Integrated security only on this site but how do I get the IUSER_Machinename account to work with Integrated Security?
