What is the syntax for running say. a batch file (.bat) from within ASP?
For example... in MS Access you can say something like this...
----------------------------------------------------------
CurrentDBDir = "c:"
ShellWait CurrentDBDir & "runthis.bat", vbNormalFocus
----------------------------------------------------------
This would run the "runthis.bat" file located in the c: directory. How would one accomplish this same thing in ASP?
I have been trawling the net to find a decent example of a way to connect to an sql 2000 server using asp.net and run a few commands.

how to do this, and display a 'successful' message on the page if the command completed successfully.

As far as I know, people prefer using objrs.execute statement instead of other commands like .addnew or .edit etc. the problem is since I don't know much about this hardcore stuff of DB, I continuously have to ask people on ASPFREE to help me. although here people here are awesome but the problem is that sometimes it takes too much time so it's better to have first hand info in your head.
Is there a way to tell an asp file which set of commands to run depending on what file they just came from?
View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP page where I build a html table dynamically by reading a database table and populating the <TD> cells with the fields of each record.
I want the last field to be a html drop down list that contains values read from another db relation in the same db. It would seem to me, (i'm novice) that this would require nesting SQL SELECT Code:
I'm trying to execute a Windows command in ASP. For example, this is a snippet of what I have right now:

The strange thing is that notepad.exe actually appears under the list of processes in Task Manager, but its window does not show up on the server's desktop; the client's browser just sort of hangs. I'm led to believe that this has something to do with IIS permissions, but I'm not certain.
Quick question: how can I execute Windows command (like deleting liles from
server) via ASP?
How can I use WScript.Shell to execute Ms-DOS commands and can I see the

I want to stick with VB on this project. The only problem I have with this is that I might have a problem with printing. The POS system is designed on a small 10-15 computer networked system. They are all good systems so nonone say that it may be a little to intensive for the systems.
Now once the system runs through basic checks: change exchange, enough money to pay, and other smaller features then it has to print the invoice. Now we have a small Epson Thermol (prints like Lazer) printer. How would my VB application send that information to the printer?
Microsoft, in one of its "Help & Support" pages on ADO, says that a System DSN is three times faster than a File DSN. I find that a bit odd for the simple reason that won't it be faster for a script to access a file to get info about the database source than access the same info from the registry which will be the case if a System DSN is used
instead of a File DSN?
I wanna build an email/messaging system whereby all members of a portal can send messsages to each other (internally).

I have been working on a simple eLeave System. I would like to get more advice of my db design. Basically, I have 2 tables here: user and leave_application. I will just put the relevant field needed for leave calculation.
user: date_employment, type, t_annual_entitled, t_annual_actual_taken, t_annual_balance
leave_application: date_leave_from, date_leave_to
There are 2 values under type, E - Executive and NE - Non-Executive.
Example
- If type = E, t_annual = 22
- If date_employment = 7 July 2005, t_workingdays = 187
- So, my formula for t_annual_entitled = (22 * 187) / 365
So, is my db design and my formula okay for this system? Any other better ways?
