Further to this I know think I know why, but I'm still looking for a way around it.
I've swopped the WScript.Shell component for ASPExec, if I now exec notepad through ASP then attempt to print, it fails to write to lpt1, (Notepad is running as SYSTEM). If I manually start notepad (as the logged on user) and print it works.
So the problem appears to be with SYSTEM tasks accessing the printers, do anyone know about this?

Maybe this kind of access must be run in its own process. The IUSR_<machine> account is only allowed to run InProc. To access process that require OutOfProc you must use an account with such previleges. One way is to create a com-component, add it to the MTS and assign it to run under a specified user account, and then add that account to the security settings in DCom Config Manager (which you start from Start --> Run "DCOMCNFG").
Be sure to test this in a labb environment: I had some problems when I tested this for reaching Excel functionallity from IIS.
Knowledgebase article Q198432 at MS' site has more info about this.
Good Luck!

Thanks for that, I have track the problem down to Q184291 COM Objects fail to print when called from ASP.
The bottom line is the system account that is running IIS does not have any printer ports by default. The article describes copying then from the default user. This fixes the problem is the printer is local but not if its a network printer.
I found a few nice ASP printing objects on the web that get around that one but in my instance the printer is on a remote Netware print server. I gave up at this point, reconfigured my Unix server to print to the Netware box and hey presto!
Regards,
Kevin.

Ok, I have my html page called test.htm, my external javascript file called images.js and one of my images called banner_02.gif. They are all in the same directory.
I am doing this so I only need to change the addresses of several images from one file that will then be used across several pages.
This is my html code (don't mind the rest, just my variable imSRC = banner;):
function makeIm() {
NS4=(document.layers);
IE4=(document.all);
scaleWidth = true;
scaleHeight = true;
imSRC = banner;
if (NS4) {
origWidth = innerWidth;
origHeight = innerHeight;}
function reDo() {
if (innerWidth != origWidth || innerHeight != origHeight)
location.reload();}
if (NS4) onresize = reDo;
if (IE4) onresize = reDoIE;
function reDoIE(){
imBG.width = document.body.clientWidth;
imBG.height = document.body.clientHeight;}
winWid = (NS4) ? innerWidth : document.body.clientWidth;
winHgt = (NS4) ? innerHeight : document.body.clientHeight;
imStr = "
+ " style='position:absolute;left ;top ;z-index:-1'>"
+ "<img name='imBG' border='0' src="+imSRC;
if (scaleWidth) imStr += " width="+winWid;
if (scaleHeight) imStr += " height="+winHgt;
imStr += ">
";
document.write(imStr);}
makeIm();
------------------------
Now, I aren't sure how I should write images.js
This is all I have:
var banner = "banner_02.gif";
--------------------------
I know that test.htm is reaching images.js, because when I remove script src="images.js" I get an error with the variable banner.
How do I write the external javascript file?

Hi,
I'm having problems with
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
that it works fine with up to ca 100k files but after that it just "time-out" or something.. i.e nothing after 3 minutes (default timeout on webserver). I've tried to increase timeout value on www server (IIS5) but that didn't help.
Any suggestions or IS there a limit of how big files you can send through ContentType?

An application I am working on streams files of several MB out of a database blob and to a browser. They have been only been Word doc files, but I would assume that all file types are handled the same.
Here is a snip of the code I use:
<%
Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-word"
StrContentDisp = "inline; filename=" & objRs("Document_Filename")
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", StrContentDisp
Response.BinaryWrite objRs("Document")
%>
I also had odd problems until I started doing the .AddHeader to declare the document to be inline and pass the filename. The snippet above has worked smoothly ever since.
Obviously the recordset and binarywrite may not be needed for your situation, but they can be substituted out easily enough.
I am using IIS5 and MSSQL2k and ASP3, just for reference. 
Hope that helps.

it helped alot, i solved my problem by increasing script timeout value though.. not a good solution but i thank you for this snippet of code.

I have been thinking about the server side controls in ASP.NET and was wondering of anybody is planning to use them as they seem to offer some benefits. They are also in ASP, yet as far as I know, they are not widely used, certainly I have never come across it.
Should I just carry on writing ASP scripts but take advantage of the compiled code in ASP.NET, or should I be looking to change the way I develop web apps?
What are other people planning to do?
Bob.

AFAIK, you can't do this using *just* HTML. You have to use some sort of server scripting language and a mailing component. ASP supports this functionality if you're a Windows guy, or if you're on *nix, PHP does this *very* easily (1 function call).

Indeed... you're going to need more than just HTML. Try searching at google for formmail. Or.. you could learn PHP.. which is nice.

If you are using Windows, the component to use is cdonts. You can create a new mail object with the line
set mail = server.createobject("cdonts.newmail")

I have to format some data into a table. It will be column driven rather than row driven. How hard is this? Can anyone show me an exmple?
Station 1 Station 2 Station 3
WKRP WDC1 WSSX
Talk Rock Top 40
I can implement it either way, but I want my XML file to be logical.
<station>
<stationid>1
<callletters>WKRP
<formt>Talk<format>
Oh, and oh, lawd, can someone send me a link to a site that will list XSL help, like a cheatsheet of what all the tags are/mean?
Thanks!

Lilian,
Best thing that I can recommend is that you pick up a good book on the subject.
My 2 personal favourites are:
o XML for ASP.NET Developers
[ does an excellent job in explaining XSLT and XPath ]
o XSLT 2nd Edition (Worx Press)
[ XSLT? What do you want to know ]
In addition to that, here's a neat link to test out your newly found XPath'ing skills...
http://staff.develop.com/aarons/bits/xpath-builder/xpath.htm
and a couple of expressions to play around with...
GETTING THE COMMENT
//comment()
//comment()[position()=1]
GETTING THE 3 SIBLINGS UNDER THE COMMENT
//comment()[position()=1]/following-sibling::*
OR JUST THE MIDDLE ONE
//comment()[position()=1]/following-sibling::LineItem[position()=2]
//comment()[position()=1]/following::LineItem[position()=2]

Okay I've got a small ASP app that has half a dozen .ASP pages, a couple of HTML pages and a COM exe. This is all running on my IIS server. How do I create an installer to install onto another IIS server?
Does Installshield handle this?
Any pointers or articles will be appreciated.

I have the following XML file:
<batchjobs>
<job id="0">
<name> Refresh </name>
.......
</job>
<job id="1">
<name> Update </name>
.......
</job>
.......
</batchjobs>
I want to create a select list of all the names of my jobs.
I have the following code to produce such a list, but as I have a lot of jobs, I want the list to be alphabetical.
Is there an easy way of doing this?
strXML = "job.xml"
Set oXML = getXML(Server.MapPath(strXML))
Set oNL = oXML.selectNodes("//job")
For i = 0 to oNL.length - 1
strSel = strSel & "<option value=""" & oNL.item(i).getAttribute("id") & """>" & oNL.item(i).firstChild.text
Next
Response.Write("<P><form name=""frmJobs""><select name=""selJobs"">" & strSel & "</select></form>")
Set oXML = Nothing
Set oNL = Nothing

I think you can use a XSL to sort the xml, using xsl:sort
search de MSDN for xsl:sort you have an example there.
To apply the XSL you could use something like this:
set oDom = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument")
oDom.LoadXML( sXML )
set oDomXSL = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DomDocument")
oDomXSL.LoadXML( sXSL )
SortXML = oDom.TransformNode( oDomXSL )

I'm wanting to provide a plug in from a web page. This is for the benefit of users who download files from the site which are PGP encrypted. The plug in needs to find their PGP stuff and decrypt incoming files fairly transparently.
The initial web page should check to see if the plug-in is in place and, if not, offer to install it. These customers are required to use IE5 5 or above. Their PC setup is, I gather, fairly requlated.
I suspect the appropriate kind of plug in is a mime type filter whick IE5 seems to support.
I can see, in outline, what's needed and I've come accross tantalising scraps of information on MSDN but I really need some kind of overall guide to working this trick. I guess the approach will work through a java Applet which then asks for permission to access local files, intalls a DLL into the PLUGINS directory and then registers it, somehow with the system and with IE.

Sadly I have a HTML/ASP based database project to do and I can't use ASP.NET and C#.
What is the best IDE for developing ASP applications? Is there anything apart from Visual Interdev which handles ASP well?
