Without seeing the code which creates the email I'm stabbing in the dark but it looks like you might be specifying the 'Content-type' outside of the email filehandle. The code below always works for me. Make sure you've coded similar. open (MAIL_FILE, "|path_to_sendmail -t); print MAIL_FILE...

I think you've answered your own question in your own post. If the source workbook isn't open then the destination workbook obviously won't be able to find the data it requires to fulfill the formula. By necessity, you need to have both workbooks open for it to function properly. Think of it...

I mean just not execute the applet. It's only cosmetic!

Thanks Jeff/Dan. I'll try a few experiments and let you know how I get on. Phil.

I've got a web page which includes a Java applet. Some of my visitors are complaining that when they visit the site the applet doesn't load and simply displays a blank box. I've found out that this is because they haven't got a Java VM installed by default. Bearing in mind that the majority of...

Thanks Dian, but the problem is that some of my visitors might not have any plug-in installed at all and wouldn't have the first clue how to do it. This is what I need to determine automatically ... if they have a plug-in installed then I run the applet, if they haven't then I suppress the code.

Tried that ('cos the documents need to be imposed) but even more crap gets put in the PDF and I end up with something like 18 Mb as the resultant PS output. The end result has to be Postscript 'cos it's edited on the fly when it's been downloaded.

I have a system where I need to print Word files to produce Postscript and store them on a web server for downloading by customers. Now we all know what Word is like with regards to printing (i.e., the realms of crap it tends to want to include in the Postscript) but, generally, you tend to get...

I don't trust my ISP (they remove standard PERL modules for no reason) so I need to be able to convert a date to a different format without using Date::Calc or Date::Manip. I have an input string of, say, "31/07/04" and I need to return "Sat Jul 31". Any clever little tricks to do this quickly?

Thanks, Paul. I can't tell you the ISP at the moment (know what I mean?) but I'll let you know once it's all over. Can you explain a little more about installing the module locally? I'm not running PERL on my PC and I'm at the mercy of the muvvafukka ISP! Thanks again. Phil.

I've been told by my ISP that they have uninstalled the Date::Calc module for 'security reasons'. This smacks of bullshit to me. Has anyone ever heard of a vulnerability in such a bog standard PERL module?

Nice one. It works fine. Thanks.

In the past I've seen little snippets of code that open the CD ROM drive on a user's machine. Is it possible to do this from a browser using PERL (or Javascript or anything else, really!)?

I recently had a small problem with Outlook Express so I experimented with using Outlook for a time and set up all my email accounts in both applications. Now I've sorted the problem in OE I've gone back to using it full time and removed everything from Outlook but every time I change or add an...

Fairly bog standard stuff, Paul ... open (DATAFILE, &quot;$datafile&quot;); @datafile = <DATAFILE>; close (DATAFILE); open (DATAFILE, &quot;>$datafile&quot;); flock (DATAFILE, 2); seek (DATAFILE, 0, 0); foreach $dataline (@datafile) { chomp $dataline; ($reference, $data1, $data2, $data3) =...

I've always had my suspicions that the FLOCK command still allows people to append to a file even though it's supposedly locked. Now I find out, after all these years, that the command isn't supported under Windows! Is this really true? If so, is there a bespoke way to reliably lock files and...

This is probably a very simple question for an AOL user but I personally object to AOL so please bear with me. I have a customer who needs to install an email address other than their AOL address into the AOL software. Not having come within a million miles of AOL myself, I wouldn't have the...

Thanks jmatt. Not sure whether you intended to be sarcastic or not but I'm certainly capable of clicking on a few help topics before I submit to this forum. Bog standard Windows help isn't going to help with background scripting, is it? I don't want my non-technical clients messing with their...

I need to be able to check whether cookies are enabled and, if they're not, ask the client whether they want to enable them or not and, if they reply yes, enable them. I'm pretty up on Javascript but I need to know exactly what to look for and how to automatically change the settings. Any...
