    Tips for organizing your IT department

    More for bug tracking but http://www.mantisbt.org/ is pretty good as a basic logging and reporting tool. Couple that with a free wiki for knowledge management of resolutions/fixes etc and you'll have a reasonable helpdesk capability for an SME others...

    Can I get a list of machine IP's on the network?

    Depends how you want to get the IPs. 1. Statically, just go and look at each machine and do an ipconfig (or ifconfig if on *nix) and write all the IP's down, then store them in an xml file or in a db on your ASP server. 2. Dynamically via lookups, a) If they are dhcp addresses and...

    ODBC question

    Have you tried what I've suggested, or just assumed you know better ? It is very unlikely that you need a dsn with godaddy web hosting - you can just put you mdb file in a secure directory and then use the OLEDB connection string I posted multiple examples of above to connect to it. Just...

    ODBC question

    I think the last post I made had a broken link in it - probably the TGML parser breaking the link incorrectly. Here is the link again, working this time: ODBC_vs_OLEDB_Connection_Strings_(Classic_ASP) ======================================= LessThanDot - The IT Community of the 21st Century...

    ODBC question

    Avoid ODBC, it's useless and mostly pointless. You will have a more reliable, functional and portable solution by using a DSN-less OLEDB connection string: Access 2007: http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=access2007 earlier versions: http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=access you...

    Change HTML menu option subject to permissions

    I think you're confusing yourself here a little bit. GetRows returns an array from the recordset and is usually a much more efficient way of iterating through the values (as a replacement of the recordset). You would access the array as you did in the first example.. the second example is...

    Evaluation Criteria of Firewalls

    What do you mean by "evaluation criteria"? You seem to imply that you want to test the "strength" of the firewall as opposed to full product selection criteria, which would include things like: - scalability - resilience - performance - vendor 'trustworthyness' - vendor stability & longevity -...

    Change HTML menu option subject to permissions

    I assume by that you mean ADODB.Field error - that there is no current record.. therefore you can access the field data Try checking for any records: if MyRSData.EOF and MyRSData.BOF then Respones.write ("No records") end if obviously you can do what you like as a result of the check, but...

    Change HTML menu option subject to permissions

    What exactly "doesn't work" ? RSData.Fields("fieldname") on it's own should also work and is a bit shorter. ======================================= LessThanDot - The IT Community of the 21st Century A smile is worth a thousand kind words. So smile, it's easy! :-)

    Change HTML menu option subject to permissions

    http://www.w3schools.com/ado/ado_ref_recordset.asp Have a look through that list of methods/properties/collections. You'll notice fieldItem isn't there. Try RSData.Fields.Item("WorkLogPermissions").value instead. ======================================= LessThanDot - The IT Community of...

    Exchange mailboxes compromised - honeypot needed

    The mailbox username is usually part of the OWA url - so in the IIS logs you can probably track a single IP looking at multiple mailbox accounts within a reasonable period (e.g. an hour or two etc), then you can see which of the privileged users mailboxes are accessed with that same IP. You...

    Automated XML documentation

    Altova rules where XML is concerned (imho) - XML Spy is the king of all the xml editors I've tried, and can create automatically generated documentation in HTML or PDF format.. I assume when you say "XML files" you refer to your schemas? if not and its an XML instance then you can also...

    Dealing with Zero Length Strings in an Update Command

    A few things: 1. You should really normalise your table. There is no need to have "MomFstName" and "DadFstName" - "first_name" would do just fine. Then you can have a "relation_type" column - which would allow you to have mum, dad, brother, sister, aunty, uncle, gramps, gran, friend, bookie...

    The include file '../include/inc_security.inc' was not found.

    btw... by default, anyone browsing to that file (an easy one to guess) will be able to see all the source code in there due to the file extension - would that be ok ? Simply change it to .asp instead of .inc and ensure the code is wrapped inside the usual <% %> tags, and that will solve the...

    xmlhttprequest async parameter

    And why not just add bar() into the callback function ? - then it will only fire when/if the foo() function finishes and responds back to the client. using synchronous requests can freeze up the users browser, async is much kinder to the usability of your site. in fact.. looking at your...

    Redirect URL script

    You'll want to check out the server variables collection: http://www.w3schools.com/asp/coll_servervariables.asp also make sure you set up your dns and webserver correctly to serve multiple subdomains from a single site. ======================================= LessThanDot - The IT Community...

    Is there an &quot;OnClick&quot; event in ASP VBScript pages?

    bold thread titles are ones you haven't read. onclick is an event within the client side code (html, javascript) not the server side code (asp). check out the relevant forum if you have a specific question about the onclick event using javascript (or better still try google with the keywords...

    Windows or UNIX

    Opieo, One of the best things you can do to learn linux is to install it and use it. If you dont have a spare machine or want to dual boot / replace your windows machine, then you can always download either Sun's VirtualBox or VMware server (both free) and host a virtual machine to test out...

    Find data in comma-delimited lists

    I wonder how that table got like that in the first place ? Maybe someone came to Tek-Tips and said that the business 'just-had-to-do-it-that-way', as is so common it seems. They probably thought that it would be cheaper and faster (to develop) to have lots of direct SQL access from the java...
