    Key column information is insufficient or incorrect

    Hi I am testing an old VB6 application under Windows 7 and code that has been working fine for years is now failing. The code below updates order detail lines that have been entered via a grid. The grid can include old rows and newly added rows. The order detail table has a primary key...

    Generate and submit a form from server

    Thanks Chris. I agree with you in principle but an external penetration testing company claim they managed to intercept and adjust payment to 0.01 GBP and there is evidence on the site to this effect. Perhaps they just tried a few changes to the encrypted text and got lucky. They advised...

    Generate and submit a form from server

    Hi I am submitting data to a payment provider using an html form with hidden fields and SSL. However, it appears that this data can be intercepted and modified using a proxy tool. How can I achieve the equivalent within classic ASP alone - i.e. generate and submit the form from the server...

    Connecting to SQL 2008 Express from virtual PC

    Thanks again. I don't like using IP addresses either. I actually connected with computername\instancname,port Spent virtually all day on this! SqlCmd -L was returning the named instance OK but couldn't connect without port.

    Connecting to SQL 2008 Express from virtual PC

    Yep. adding the port did the trick, thank you so much. I should have thought of that!

    Connecting to SQL 2008 Express from virtual PC

    Great, thank you George - that has got me connected via SSMSE and from a VB application. Can you think of a reason as to why I can't connect via SQLcmd? It persistently claims: Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred...

    Connecting to SQL 2008 Express from virtual PC

    I have a Windows XP virtual PC (guest) running on a Windows 7 PC (host) with a SQL 2008 Express instance installed. As things stand, I can only access the host SQL instance from the guest (using SSMSE and sqlcmd) when the host's firewall is completely turned off. Any attempts I make to tweak...

    Embedding and activating a video clip

    I can't get Chrome to work at all let alone auto start! And I have sizing/scaling problems with FF. Do you know if chrome uses the <embed> tag contents or the <param> values within the <object> tag? It's been suggested elsewhere that I upload video to Vimeo site and include some HTML they...

    Embedding and activating a video clip

    Interesting - I couldn't get wmv files playing with media player in firefox at all. I'll take a look at this tomorrow, thanks.

    Embedding and activating a video clip

    Thanks again. I guess I was hoping for a different answer that involved copy/paste of some HTML :-)! The video will be uploaded to my customer's own site. I am having some success cross-browser with a QuickTime <embed> and with MPG video format. It shows in all 3 browsers I am testing with...

    Embedding and activating a video clip

    Thank you for your input and apologies for the late reply. I have tried embedding a .wmv file and using an embedded windows media player. However, this only seems to work ok in Internet Explorer. There are problems in Firefox and Chrome where the black player image appears ok but the movie will...

    Embedding and activating a video clip

    I want to embed a video in a web page and activate it immediately when the page is opened. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Is it possible to do the same with a PowerPoint presentation and set an automatic slide show running without user intervention? The only solution I've...

    Restricting uploaded photo sizes

    Thanks for the reply. I had started to think in terms of a 50k limit so we are on the same wavelength there. I've never resized an image before but it looks like this link: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/012203-1.aspx#postadlink will help.

    Restricting uploaded photo sizes

    I am developing a site which allows registered members to upload a personal (colour) photograph to the site for others to view in the same way as many forums do. For the moment I expect most photos to be about passport size in terms of on-screen display. Perhaps up to 150 x 150 pixels. I won't...

    Export to MySQL problem

    I have been successfully using a linked server to upload data to a remote MySQL database. However, one of the fields I upload to has recently changed from a MySQL varchar type to a MySQL text type and I now have a problem because the upload fails with the message: The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"...

    Removing contents of remote folder

    I have been using the shell folder object to copy files from a local folder to a remote one using ftp and the CopyHere method. However, I would like to be able to remove certain files from the remote folder first. The closest I have come is the code below but the InvokeVerb ("delete") line...

    Problems with bound combo box

    I am generating bound textboxes and bound comboboxes dynamically and adding them to a form. The textbox code seems to work fine such that, when I step through rows in the table, the textbox contents change and show the values anticipated. The comboboxes do not behave the same way. When I step...

    ComboBox in bound DataGridView &quot;value violates the MaxLength limit&quot;

    Thanks very much for the reply. In effect I have NO code (well not in the related .vb file)as it was all achieved in design mode. However, your request led me to change it all so that the grid and combobox column were created dynamically by the code. That took me a while but, ironically, it...

    ComboBox in bound DataGridView &quot;value violates the MaxLength limit&quot;

    I'm using Visual Studio 2010 to develop a very simple VB form. It has a datagrid bound to Table1. One of the columns is a combo box which is populated from a separate database table - Table2. The datagridview displays as I would expect, translating the lookup field in table1 to show the...

    Problem with user controls

    I have been developing an ASP.NET site in a folder using Visual Studio 2005 with no project or solution file. Occasionally I get very odd problems relating to two user controls such that I have to remove the user controls, re-create them (ultimately with identical names & code) and use "add...
