[wdvltalk] Re: file conversion help request
great suggestion. thanks! Hello. A client has sent me a file (company logo) in Freehand 10 (mac) and I have Illustrator 9 (mac). If anyone has Freehand 10, and has time to help out, would he/she be so kind as to email me off list, and I will send them the file (only 84K) for them to "savedown" for me? (illustrator can read Freehand 8 files). I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

[wdvltalk] Re: Data set is too big
Hi Tim, Thanks for the thorough answer. We are SQL 7 with all the sp's. The machine is muy macho with 4 processors and 1.5G ram. I'm creating the "where" statement on the fly and a report will run fine if the query result is small, but fail when the query result is big. And you can run the query with no "where" statement successfully in query analyser. I still think it is a configuration issue with the buffer or cache or something too small. And the error message points to line ### where it goes to the first record in the dataset. My tech support mantra is; "The fix is always easy... Its just very hard to figure out what the fix is." Thanks, Bill Furry, Tim wrote: Bill wrote: When the output is a html table it says: Provider error '80004005' Unspecified error /myreport.asp, line 644 line 644 is: objRS.movefirst (goto the first line in the record set) When the output is excel the error occurs after you accept the file download: Internet Explorer cannot download myreport.asp from mysite.

These report have been working since January but we just upgraded hardware and now we have a problem. Go figure :-) TIA, Bill Tim replies: After some research, it looks like most of the 80004005 errors are related to Access DB connections; if you're using Access, here's some suggestions I collated from various places: 1. Upgrade the your version of MDAC (I think 2.7 is the latest stable version). http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft. com:80/support/kb/articles/q225/0/42.asp&NoWebContent=1 2. Double-check the connection string for correct permissions; sometimes username and password are needed even when not required. Better yet, move to a DSN-less connection. 3. Make sure your TEMP folder (usually C:/temp) is present and has adequate permissions, if using Access (we fought this problem on some new machines, and it's a common problem with new hardware). You may need to tweak environment variables to make sure the TEMP folder is recognized. Access uses the TEMP folder to do intermediate work. http://www.aspfaqs.com/aspfaqs/ShowFAQ.asp?FAQID=115 4. Make sure you're not using any reserved words as field or column names. 5. Other suggestions regarding MDAC and Access: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2009 They recommend MDAC 2.8; I don't know that I'd go that far...we've used MDAC 2.7 successfully for awhile. 2.5 is considered quite stable as well. 6. If using Access, make sure nothing else is connected to it at the same time the ASP is running, including IDEs like InterDev. Another thought (for the download version): IE shouldn't be trying to download the "myreport.ASP" file. Might want to check MIME types for Excel. I haven't downloaded Excel files myself, but usually when a browser tries to directly download an ASP file there's either something screwy with permissions or the page code. Might want to verify that the file is actually being built on the server (and has enough time to complete building, for long ones) before the download is attempted. Hope one of these helps.

These report have been working since January but we just upgraded hardware and now we have a problem. Go figure :-) TIA, Bill Tim replies: After some research, it looks like most of the 80004005 errors are related to Access DB connections; if you're using Access, here's some suggestions I collated from various places: 1. Upgrade the your version of MDAC (I think 2.7 is the latest stable version). http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft. com:80/support/kb/articles/q225/0/42.asp&NoWebContent=1 2. Double-check the connection string for correct permissions; sometimes username and password are needed even when not required. Better yet, move to a DSN-less connection. 3. Make sure your TEMP folder (usually C:/temp) is present and has adequate permissions, if using Access (we fought this problem on some new machines, and it's a common problem with new hardware). You may need to tweak environment variables to make sure the TEMP folder is recognized. Access uses the TEMP folder to do intermediate work. http://www.aspfaqs.com/aspfaqs/ShowFAQ.asp?FAQID=115 4. Make sure you're not using any reserved words as field or column names. 5. Other suggestions regarding MDAC and Access: http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2009 They recommend MDAC 2.8; I don't know that I'd go that far...we've used MDAC 2.7 successfully for awhile. 2.5 is considered quite stable as well. 6. If using Access, make sure nothing else is connected to it at the same time the ASP is running, including IDEs like InterDev. Another thought (for the download version): IE shouldn't be trying to download the "myreport.ASP" file. Might want to check MIME types for Excel. I haven't downloaded Excel files myself, but usually when a browser tries to directly download an ASP file there's either something screwy with permissions or the page code. Might want to verify that the file is actually being built on the server (and has enough time to complete building, for long ones) before the download is attempted. Hope one of these helps.

[wdvltalk] Re: Capturing MAC addresses
I think I've got a handle on it now. I was making it way too complicated. I found this on Programming Talk: 'You have a sign up form, after the user fills it all out you need to add thats users information to a database, then send out an email with a link that has some kind of user ID in it (example, the link being, www.mysite.com/verify.asp?UserID=1123232). They click the link that has the user ID in the querystring, on the page they click to go to you need to make it so that ID searches there user ID in the database, and if found make users account active.' ReadyHosting has a sample CGI script for sending an email. I should be able to get something going using that.

Huge bummer for me. Okay, I'm facing the fact that I am going to have to require them to join the site just to vote. Does anyone have some good code or a recommendation software for sending and confirming an email account? I know that ReadyHosting doesn't allow sendmail, but they do support the FrontPage email bot, ASPMail, ASPEmail, JMail or a CGI script that supports SMTP servers.

If you have an IP assigned through DHCP (which 99% of dial-up users do) then yes, it's trivial to get a new address - you just need to close and reopen your connection, or enter ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew. This isn't *guaranteed* to give you a different IP - the one you just gave up could be reassigned to you - but it works most of the time. > Is there an easy way to grab the MAC address? Not on a web page - the only data you can use is what gets sent to you by the browser. You could use a cookie as well as IP checking, but realistically the only way you can stop this happening is to lock the system down and force people to log in with a username and password (that way you can keep track of exactly who has voted).
