    Session timeout and method="post"

    Your options are save the data on the client (cookie), save the data in a file on the server, save the data in a database table, or save data in the ASP session. Obviously the session is only good until the visitor closes their browser -- which if I understand your needs, this is all you need...

    How to pass values to iqy file

    Let me see if I'm clear on the process and goal. You have an Excel Web Query defined in an iqy file. I assume the page you are querying is an ASP page? That ASP page accepts parameters..right? So you now want to know how to have the web query (iqy) itself retrieve a dynamic value to pass as a...

    CDONTS error

    You say the code listed in #2 DOES work on the client in question? It's the exact same lines as #1 except the way the values for the properties are set. So, I think basic troubleshooting says it MUST be a problem with one or more of the values in those variables. Perhaps one is an array instead...

    Domain Passwords in ASP Apps

    You are correct in that using Windows built in security is really the easiest and one of the more secure methods to secure access to parts of a website. Of course, this is usually only an option if you have control of the whole server -- that is, you have the ability to turn off anonymous access...

    Scale down pictures

    As ChrisHirst mentioned, there are good third-party ASP Components that are easy to install on an IIS web server. Look for one that not only allows you to generate a thumbnail from an image, but that also allows you to stream that thumbnail image to the browser rather than create a new image...

    Pop up windows and passing some values to it and from it???

    The solution I use in this situation is have the popup window's javascript retrieve the data or objects from the parent (opener) window. This to me is more attractive than passing the values in the querystring -- depending on the values passed, sometimes you'd rather the casual user not see...

    Checkboxes / how to limit

    I would like to point out that it is somewhat illogical to use checkboxes in that fashion. The purpose of a checkbox is to function like an On/Off switch. So instead of: Have you ever visited www.homestarrunner.com?<br> <input type=checkbox name="cb1" value="Yes"> Yes<br> <input type=checkbox...

    code to display error

    Actually, my guess is that you need to configure your php ini file to display errors. I recently setup an Apache hosting account with a hosting company and had this same problem. Whenever there was any kind of error in my code (which is like every other line!) I'd get a blank page in the browser...

    getting the id from an input field in php

    I think I understand what you are trying to do--it is fairly common. You are dynamically generating input fields like this: <input type=text name=teama id="14"> I'm assuming you don't put the id (14) in the value attribute because you actually do want the user to input some value--right? All...

    How safe is the &quot;&lt;input type=&quot;password&quot;

    You need to understand the disconnected, client-server architecture of browsing a website. When a client browser makes a request to a webserver and the webserver serves the HTML document back to the browser, the connection no longer exists. There is nothing live between the client (browser) and...

    Hyperlink Question

    The easiest method is probably a simple javascript alert(). Here is one way to do this: <a href="javascript:alert('This is a popup message box.\nThis is fun!')">Click me</a> A more elegant method would be to use the javascript window.open method to open a new, small, customized browser window...

    multipart email in ASP

    Do you mean you want to know how to send an email that has both a plain text version as well as an HTML version? (Email clients are supposed to choose the version they can understand.) I recommend you use ASPemail from http://www.aspemail.com to do this. This component has a free version, and...

    Migrate from Access to MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server

    It is limited to 2GB per database (not computer), and can support 16 databases on one machine. I believe it is limited in regards to concurrent sessions, but I haven't found any hard answers. I read on one Microsoft site that it handles up to &quot;5 concurrent batch processes to optimize...

    Migrate from Access to MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server

    At this point in time, if you are going to do .NET development, I think you'll find Visual Studio's integration with SQL Server VERY helpful. I use both databases. In my opinion, the only reason to choose MySQL over SQL Server is price. Determine the cost to license SQL Server for your...

    Download data

    Your question seems to ask how to download an Excel document directly into Excel. I assume what you want to know is how to generate an Excel document automatically on the web server from your data? The answer to the first would be simply provide a link to the Excel doc. When a user clicks on...
