RE: Quickbooks IIF files???
You are correct - the iif file is pretty much a comma delimited ascii file. The answer you need is actually in the quickbooks help files - here's an excerpt. -Mark --- You may also want to refer to the Reference Guide to Import Files Note: These instructions are rather long. You may want to print them instead of reading them onscreen. To print them, click Options and then choose Print Topic. If you've been using another financial software product, and you'd like to import information from that product into QuickBooks, you can do so if the product allows you to export to a spreadsheet or text file. You can import lists that correspond to QuickBooks lists, budgets, and individual transactions. Tip: The easiest way to see and understand the format QuickBooks needs to import data is to export some of your QuickBooks lists and view the resulting file in a spreadsheet. If you don't already have a QuickBooks company, you can export lists from the sample data (sample_product-based business. Qbw or sample_service-based business.qbw). 1 Open the spreadsheet that contains the data. 2 Move the contents of all the cells in your spreadsheet one column to the right so that the first column is blank. 3 Move the contents of all the cells down by one row so that the first row is blank. 4 Check the structure of the spreadsheet. If it contains more than one type of listor a mixture of lists, budgets, and transactionsmake sure that each type of information has its own block in the spreadsheet. The blocks should follow each other vertically. Insert a blank row of cells to separate the blocks. For example, it you have a list of customers and a list of vendors, all the customer data should be in one block and all the vendor information should be in another block. 5 In the first cell in the blank row above each block of information, enter one of the keywords shown in this table. Be sure to include the exclamation point (!). Type this text. . . If the block contains !ACCNT Details about your chart of accounts. !CUST A customer address or phone list. !VEND A vendor address or phone list. !EMP A list of employees. !OTHERNAME A list of names you'd like to add to QuickBooks Other Name list. !BUD Budget details. !CLASS A list of general classifications you'd like to add to QuickBooks Class list. !CTYPE A list of customer classifications you'd like to add to QuickBooks Customer Type list. !INVITEM Details about the line items you use on sales and purchase forms. !INVMEMO Messages you'd like to add to QuickBooks Customer Message list. !PAYMETH A list of payment methods you'd like to add to QuickBooks Payment Method list. !SHIPMETH A list of shipping methods you'd like to add to QuickBooks Ship Via list. !TERMS A list of payment terms you'd like to add to QuickBooks Terms list. !TIMEACT Details about activities you timed with the QuickBooks Pro Timer. Works with !TIMERHDR. !TIMERHDR QuickBooks Pro Timer data. !TODO A list of upcoming to do tasks you want QuickBooks to remind you about. !TRNS Transactions. !VTYPE A list of vendor classifications you'd like to add to QuickBooks Vendor Type list. For example, if the spreadsheet contains a list of customers and then a list of vendors, the structure of the spreadsheet would be as follows: !CUST [List of customers] !VEND [List of vendors] [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

RE: My First Shopping Cart
Adam, I'm with you on the plugins.I had the same experience with foresite coupons in Able commerce. As for CF Webstore - Mary Jo. has a great product - inexpensive with lots of features and easy to work with. More features for the buck than 300.00 really deserves when it comes down to it. If you do a lot of small to medium single tier e-commerce site you can make good money buying her software, adding a few customizations and launching a fully functional ecommerce site with lots of features for the price - and it looks as professional as you want it to look g. Let's not forget that for some things a slightly hoky site can sell quite well (ha). I'm tempted to add a couple of URLs I know that sell gangbusters but don't look that professional (ha) - but I will resist. What really drives most people crazy working with canned apps is the fact that it is not done the way they would do it - it's not in their style.No matter what the framework is, or how well commented it is - it still takes a good bit of leg work just to runsomething down in order to modify it. When, if it was done by you ... you would know exactly where to go to change something. The other issue is modifications themselves. It's hard to modify someone elses code and get it right. But embrace the pain! Modifying existing code or adding a new application to an existing suite of applications - that's really WHY contractors and small shops are necessary. If everything could be bought off the shelf.. if there were no special needs... then companies like microsoft and AOL would own everything and we would all be automatonic grunt coders (ha). Personally, everytime I see a new technology or a messy new standard or approach I simply thank my lucky stars.If it ever gets TOO simple we are all going back to flipping burgers g. That's my take. -Mark P.S.

It was written in Fusebox for that very reason, to make it relatively easy to customize. There are already a bunch of 3rd party add-ons available as well that you can basically just drop into it. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the right choice for everyone, there certainly are still cases where the needs of a specific site might work best with a custom solution.

This works pretty well - but on some RDBMS's you can get a buffer overrun on your IN () list if it grows very large. I've had that happen at 10,000 or so. Actually, it is more likely when using Cfqueryparam because the array allocated for the bind may have a maximum value.

I had to write a report for a clean-up project that often returned several thousand rows of complex chemical data knowing for a fact that nobody would ever look at about 98% of it, but it HAD TO BE THERE. So what I did was this. I ran my query using top and then I wrote the list of ID's into a session var so that the next time they ran the query it would use top to limit the query and use the list of IDs for a id not in(list) type of statement. So, to illustrate: Param idlist defalut = Select top(100) from table where id not in session.idlist... (or you don't even have to put this in the session scope if you don't like, but I was allowing people to leave the search and come back to it...) Set idlist = listofidsfromquery This way your always getting your next chunk of records without what you've already seen. Also, you could even simplify this if the IDs are in numerical order, you'd just have to get the top x number of rows where ID the last one you saw... Let me know if I can clarify any of that.

RE: merge data from two queries
Tony, this is a join - not a union. A union query matches 2 different tables or recordsets with the same type in each matching column. select col1, col2, col3 from table1 union select a1, a2, a3 from table2 -- If col1 is an int and a1 is a char, this will fail.They can be named differently but they must have the same type. This is useful sometimes from the same table when you don't have a 'group to work with - like grouping by a date range: -- 30 days ago to present SELECTdateEntered, title, '30 days' as sortOption FROMBooks WHERE dateEntered dateadd(day,-30,getdate()) UNION SELECTdateEntered, title, '60 days' as sortOption FROMBooks WHERE dateEntered BETWEEN dateadd(day,-60,getdate()) ANDdateadd(day,-30,getdate()) UNION SELECTdateEntered, title, '60 days' as sortOption FROMBooks WHERE dateEntered BETWEEN dateadd(day,-90,getdate()) ANDdateadd(day,-60,getdate()) ORDER BY sortOption This would give an ordered result set with groups of books. Of couse, you could overlap or whatever.

I know you're half-kidding here, but you're not too far off of what people who make these things would just LOVE to do. If you find an editor like this, please let me know so that I can AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE! The worst thing about all these WYSIWYG's and new IDEs is that they won't just get out of the way. I always think that if I type something - that's what I wanted to type. The reason I like CF Studio and Homesite is that they have the handy little code completion things that drop down and you can hit enter or keep typing without them slowing you down or changing stuff without you. But I get so sick of all of this over-automation. I think I might sound like an old man here, but I can easily picture this product coming out, installing it and then screaming at the top of my lungs because it won't leave me alone.

So the question isn't whether or not to have tools, but what sort of tools will they be? Personally I'd like a tool that can fill in the blanks on simple coding tasks. Templates and wizards help to some extent, but I'd like something smart enough to go back and fix my mistakes, add missing parameters, that sort of thing. For instance, I wrote a little function on the list not to long ago, and I used _javascript_ notation for a loop in cfscript. I want an editor that is smart enough to not only tell me that's wrong but to suggest changes or even fix code automatically and highlight the changes. This is functionally no different than a spelling and grammar checker in a word processor. Of course, what I'd really like is an editor that wrote code for me so I could tell it what I want and have it produce all the code. It should understand my voice over the cellphone- that way I can spend more time at the beach. ;-) OK, maybe that's a little tongue in cheek but ultimately I don't see why not. In fact, once a system becomes that sophisticated you can just cut out the editor completely and talk directly to the application server. You can call your CF application server using VoIP and just tell it what you want it to build. Voice could be augmented by other forms of input- text, binary file input.

RE: Server Errors - CPU spike swsoc.exe
A couple of things come to mind. First, if you are using Access and under a heavy load you need to move to a different db. Sorry - but there's just not a lot you can do about it. The sequence driver just hangs under a heavy load.Second, if you are using JDBC drivers (for MS SQL for example), make sure an enter a fully qualified domain name in the server spot.Don't use an IP address. If you don't know it or don't have one for the db server add an entry to the host file (sql.mydomain.com) and use that. The JDBC service will waist time with reverse lookups otherwise. Make sure and use the JDBC Drivers by the way - an odbc socket connection is not going to benefit you much in the long run. Third, watch out for that timeout issue that relates to long running queries. These can cause DB requests to build on themselves exponentially. This issue is detailed in a technote - but basically, if your query exceeds the timeout for db connections and is still running it is not released.The workaround is to instantiate 2 datasources - one with maintained connections set true and one with maintain connnections set false - then use the second DSN for long running queries - keeping your pool more tightly managed.This error might be fixed in 6.1 (don't recall). Finally there are several issues list related to dbs at macromedia support - some with hotfixes.If you aren't using the DD 3.3 drivers I'd move to them unless you have a reason not to. -Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 7:45 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Server Errors - CPU spike swsoc.exe I normally wouldn't post this, but I'm having some crashing server issues.

RE: Havent seen this error before...
Greg, I don't believe that is correct. The purpose of the single quotes is to identify character data. cfqueryparam makes them unnecessary by specifying the data type in advance.In this case using a datatype binding (cfqueryparam) means the single quotes would be superflous.the driver creates a query with a placeholder that says character data here - then whatever you pass in as the variable is bound to that type.Adding single quotes would only result having them suddenly appear in the database as a part of the string. There is a bug with a hot fix (fixed permanently in cfmx 6.1 I believe) that causes single quotes that included as a part of the param to be doubled up - but that's not the issue here either. -Mark -Original Message- From: Greg Luce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 9:28 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Havent seen this error before...

RE: Understanding/Defending Coldfusion connections
A lot depends on what datasources you are talking about - but any resource on JDBC and connection pooling will give you good information. The underlying service is not CF specific. The current version of CF uses drivers from datadirect. Just about everything about the connection is configurable through the cf admin - including the NUMBER of connections that CF is allowed to use, whether or not they are maintained (kept open) and when they time out. That's how you know your friend is blowing smoke g. In addition, you can work with the underlying JDBC service and drivers to configure many other options for connectivity. Having said that maintaining connections is not designed to slow down an ap - but to speed it up.Havingto reinstantiate a connection with every db request is unecessary overhead in many (perhaps most) cases - unless you are using (hold your nose) access dbs - in which case no amount of fine tuning is going to make you scalable on either platform.

RE: ODBC Service Hangs on Query
First, make sure the query gives you what you want. Because you have no parenthasise this query is going to give you ALL records from the tables: tblbillingaddr, tblterm That's because the WHERE clause reads Give me everything WHERE where tblmasterclients.clientname = tblbillingaddr.Client Name and tblmasterclients.clientname = tblterm.clientname and tblterm.leaseid = tblbilling.leaseid and tblmasterclients.acctstatus = 'A' OR give me everything WHERE tblmasterclients.acctstatus = 'ACT' Because the second part of the where has no joins - you get it all baby! I suspect you wanted it to look more like this: where tblmasterclients.clientname = tblbillingaddr.Client Name and tblmasterclients.clientname = tblterm.clientname and tblterm.leaseid = tblbilling.leaseid and (tblmasterclients.acctstatus = 'A' OR tblmasterclients.acctstatus = 'ACT') -Mark -Original Message- From: hammerin hankster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 21, 2004 11:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: ODBC Service Hangs on Query I've got two problems.

RE: Help with CF5 Queued Requests
Frank, You should be looking for code that waits for a response from a third party process. Culprits are (typically) db access, ftp, ldap, pop, file access (cffile), cfhttp etc.All of these services must connect to a service or process outside the CF engine - cf awaits their response... sometimes indefinitely if its set up that way. That's why such tags often include a timeout value.Slow pages is a good place to start. Also look at the scheduled task folder and find out if there's a regular data import or web scraping application or some other ap put there for utility reasons. Sometimes these tasks run for years with no one noticing them and then suddenly start hanging. -Mark -Original Message- From: Frank Mamone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 12:06 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Help with CF5 Queued Requests I have been tasked with stabilizing a legacy CF 5 application which had several problems including CF restarts and loss of client variables etc. I managed to solve most of the issues -- many caused by application variables not being locked.

RE: MS SQL Syntax/Keyword
John,
Your syntax would output like this:
where 15 IN (sharedGroupIds)
If I'm reading your right this is backwards - it should be column INvalues or sharedGroupIds IN (15)
Unfortunatley the IN clause is not going to work for you with a column of values because it uses equals against each
value. Consider this scenario:
Groupids contains 15,17,7,9
You have a single groupID of 17.You would think that groupids IN (17) would return true - nope..because 15,17,7,9
does NOT equal 17.SQL is not going to treat a single column with delimited lists in it as if it were a query or
group of values. To SQL 15,17,7,9 is a single value - not 4 values.
Now, you can use like to maybe futz with this so you could do
where groupids LIKE ('%,17,%) OR groupids LIKE (17,%) or groupIds LIKE (%,17)
But that is a poor excuse for a query (ha).You have to account for wether the 17 is in the middle, end or
beginning...AND that is still not perfect.
A better choice would probably be a second table of groupids mapping your permissionsthen your query becomes
where groupid IN
(select groupId from relatedGroups where groupid IN (17,2,0) )
Or you can join it as well...
I hope this helps.

Subject: MS SQL Syntax/Keyword
I have a table in MS SQL with a column that has a groupID value in it
(int) and a column that is sharedGroupIDs (varchar).The groupID holds
an int of the group that the record belongs to.The sharedGroupIDs
holds a string of IDs that also can see the record.I'm trying to use
the IN operator to find all rows where the current GroupID is either the
groupID on a row or is IN the sharedGroupIDs column for that row.
Here's 2 separate syntaxes I've used and the results I've gotten:
select *
from table
where #groupID# = groupID or #groupID# IN (sharedGroupIDs)
The above returns an error because SQL says it can't convert the
SharedGroupIDs column to type of INT.When reading about the IN
operator, it says that the datatypes you're comparing have to match, so
I tried the following:
select *
from table
where #groupID# = groupID or '#groupID#' IN (sharedGroupIDs)
Notice the single quotes around #groupID# so that it should be seen as a
string.This doesn't produce and error, but it does not return any
records.A simple data test that I'm trying is #groupID# = 5 and in the
SharedGroupIDs column I have this string: 15,7,5
Any ideas on why this isn't working?Any suggestions? Maybe another
operator
Also, just to stop unneeded responses, I can't use LIKE because if the
value I'm searching for is 1 is and 15 is in the column, it will return
true because there is a 1 and that's not what I'm looking for.
Please help! :-)

Here's 2 separate syntaxes I've used and the results I've gotten: select * from table where #groupID# = groupID or #groupID# IN (sharedGroupIDs) The above returns an error because SQL says it can't convert the SharedGroupIDs column to type of INT.When reading about the IN keyword, it says that the datatypes you're comparing have to match, so I tried the following: select * from table where #groupID# = groupID or '#groupID#' IN (sharedGroupIDs) Notice the single quotes around #groupID# so that it should be seen as a string.This doesn't produce and error, but it does not return any records.A simple data test that I'm trying is #groupID# = 5 and in the SharedGroupIDs column I have this string: 15,7,5 Any ideas on why this isn't working?Any suggestions? Maybe another keyword or something I could use to produce these results? Also, just to stop unneeded responses, I can't use LIKE because if the value I'm searching for is 1 is and 15 is in the column, it will return true because there is a 1 and that's not what I'm looking for.

Use the upsizing wizard -- but I'm told that there are problems using that approach for data -- okay to get the table structures in place I think. Alternatively, create the new tables manually in MSSQL. Once the tables are in place, use CF to query the Access Table and then use CF to Insert recrods into MSSQL table. Another way is to use a Windows app in client-server mode with ODBC drivers to do the Query and Post process -- I use Visual FoxPro and ODBC drivers for this purpose a lot irrespective of what the from and to databases are (Excel, Text, Access, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, etc). Both of these processes allow for a lot of data checking and cleanup to be done in the migration process because of FoxPro's extensive string and date manipulation functions.Processing Datetime fields can be a bugger to deal with especially going from other than Access to MSSQL. To give you some performance numbers, I deleted and then created a new MSSQL table located at a hosting service from a local 10,000 record FoxPro DBF file -- the process took about 20 minutes over a 56k modem.

user agent checking and spidering...
Cf talkers, I have a client with many many similar sites on a single server using CFMX.Each of the sites is part of a network of sites that all link together - about 150 to 200 sites in all.Each home page has links to other sites in the network. Periodically, it appears that google or a similar search enginehits a home page and spiders the links - which of course leads it to other sites on the server and other links. This generates (again - this is my hypothesus from examining the logs and behaviour) concurrent requests for similar pages that all hit the same news database (in access). Sequelink (the access service for Jrun I think) locks up quickly trying to service hundreds of requests at once to the same access file. This results in a climbing request queue that climbs into the thousands and requires a restart of the CFMX services. To fix this issue I am migrating the databases over to SQL server which will help greatly with stability, but this will take a little time and there is still the problem of trying to avoid letting a spider hit this single server with so many requests at once.Each site has a pretty well thought out robots.txt file, but it doesn't help because the links in question are to external sites - not pages on THIS site (even though these external sites are virtuals on the same server).

RE: creating 404 page for CFM and JSP files.
make sure and delete all the jsp files.

All the JSP pages have been rewritten to use CFM. Trouble is, some of the JSP pages are still cached in search engines and people still have them bookmarked. I've made a customer 404 page (in CF) to redirect a user to the main site. The trouble I'm running into is that I can't get the server to pull up my custom 404 when a JSP page is accessed. All I get is the generic error: A License Exception has been thrown Will this not work unless JSP is installed on the server? I'm currently have JSP mapped to be processed by the CFMX engine.

RE: IIS Custom Error Pages in CF?
Yes you can. 1) Go into IIS properties for your site and choose the custom errors tab. 2) Select the 404 error and choose edit. 3) change the message type from file to URL 4) Enter a .cfm page with a path relative to THIS site.So, for example, if you put a missingFile.cfm handler in your root folder you would enter missingFile.cfm - or if it was in a folder called Bob it would be Bob/missingfile.cfm. This can be quite useful.I use this technique for some subscription sites that wish to create unique URL's for their client subscribers.After subscribing the user is instructed to use blah.com/name (i.e. blah.com/MarySmith).Of course the directory MarySmith doesn't exist so the request is forwarded to my .cfm file handler.The file handler parses out MarySmith and sends the user to a customized page for login or whatever. A similar trick uses a wildcard entry on a DNS server to allow a user to go to marySmith.blah.com - both tricks are great for sales CRM tools, real estate sites and the like - any place where you want a use to have a personal website but it actually connected to a larger group or site. -mark Mark A.

RE: Cf puzzle
Gabriel, The web server already has to parse the header, determine if the file exists and point to the file (or 404 handler) - yes I would imagine that there is a bit more overhead than if the file/folder existed in the first place - but I have several sites doing this and similar things, some of them trafficked quite heavily, and I've never noticed an appreciable difference.Obviously a lot depends on the expected load.I would also say that a dedicated IP address (rather than a virtual host) would make a slight difference because the web server wouldn't have the additional task of finding the right site for that Host header before it even looks for a file. But again, I don't know that you would notice the difference except under a near capacity load. -Mark -Original Message- From: Gabriel Robichaud [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 8:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Cf puzzle The only thing is that this is not an error.And I want to make this part of the functionality of the site.So I am concerned that using the error page like this might put a strain on performance.Or am I worrying about nothing?

Yes you can. 1) Go into IIS properties for your site and choose the custom errors tab. 2) Select the 404 error and choose edit. 3) change the message type from file to URL 4) Enter a .cfm page with a path relative to THIS site.So, for example, if you put a missingFile.cfm handler in your root folder you would enter missingFile.cfm - or if it was in a folder called Bob it would be Bob/missingfile.cfm. This can be quite useful.I use this technique for some subscription sites that wish to create unique URL's for their client subscribers.After subscribing the user is instructed to use blah.com/name (i.e. blah.com/MarySmith).Of course the directory MarySmith doesn't exist so the request is forwarded to my .cfm file handler.The file handler parses out MarySmith and sends the user to a customized page for login or whatever. A similar trick uses a wildcard entry on a DNS server to allow a user to go to marySmith.blah.com - both tricks are great for sales CRM tools, real estate sites and the like - any place where you want a use to have a personal website but it actually connected to a larger group or site. -mark Mark A.

I'm trying to figure out if I can use a .cfm page (or possibly an .asp page) for an IIS 5 custom 404 error page.I'm _not_ trying to configure CF's missing template handler as done through the CF Administrator. That works fine. It appears that if you designate a .cfm page for 404 errors (for example: http://mysite.com/notapage.htm) then the .cfm page doesn't get sent through the CF engine.Can this behaviour be changed?What about .asp pages - same problem?I haven't tried that route yet.

RE: Okay, bear with me, I'm not even sure what I'm asking...
Jeff, cfinclude paths are not related to the paths of the web server.You can in fact create arbitrary aliases for paths (mappings) that out of your web root altogether.CF always uses a path that is relative to the current template path. So if your developer is 1 directory below the root he would use ../blah.cfm.Again, don't let him even bring up the image paths and virtual directorys et al.The web server doesnt' control this at all.If he wants a mapping to root he can create one in CF admin (using /) and this is actually done by default - and it's fine if you are not on a shared server or you have control over the environment. But if you are on a shared server be careful because everyone can include from your directory now using the root mapping. savy? Mark A.

RE: Okay, bear with me, I'm not even sure what I'm asking...
Ok let's review: This:[src="" not include anything in the page processing.Instead it generates a separate http request AFTER the page is downloaded to the browser. That second request goes to: http://*whateverMyDomainIsCalled*.com/images/image1.jpg This:[cfinclude template = Client1/navbar.cfm]gets executed BEFORE the page is sent to the browser and actually RUNS the code in the file at: c:\*whateverTheCURRENTtemplateDirectoryIs*\Client1\navbar.cfm So if you want to include something from the root which is at: c:\wwwdocs\Client1\ And the template CALLING the included code is in C:wwwdocs\Client1\legal\ and you use cfinclude template=/client1/navbar.cfm the server first looks to see if there is a mapping for / in the cf settings.If there is no mapping for /, it then looks to see if there is a directory (a folder) called /client1 in directory (folder) containing the Calling template (the one in /legal/).It never actually looks at the root of the WEBSITE because CF has no knowledge of those settings IIS hands a request to CF, CF fills a buffer with stuff to send back and hands it back to IIS. That's how it works. In the scenario that you present, and assuming you are using the default installation of CF, if you tried: cfincldue tamplate=/client1/navbar.cfm (what's a tamplate?) the web server would try to include from the / mapping - usually the default web site directory - like inetpub/wwwdocs.If your web site is NOT the default web site on the server, or if the mapping has been removed (maybe a good idea on a shared server), then you will throw an error. If you tried cfinclude template =client1/navbar.cfm from the /legal/ directory - it would be looking for: c:\*whateverTheCURRENTtemplateDirectoryIs*\legal\Client1\navbar.cfm again it would fail. There are only 2 ways to to call a file using CFINCLUDEfrom (for example) c:\sites\mywebsites\client1\legal that resides in c:\sites\mywebsites\client1\ 1)use the ubiquitous 2 periods to move back one dir cfinclude template=../client1 B)Create a mapping in the cf administrator to use.For example, if you created a mapping called /bob/ that pointed to c:\sites\mywebsites\client1\ you could do cfinclude template=/bob/navbar.cfm and it would work.. although it might be a tradmark infringement. I hope this helps.

Reed, If all items on the page are not secure then the page is NOT secure. Unless you have disabled the message you will see all items on the page are not secure - do you still want to display the page? in a pop-up - then you must click ok to continue (that's in the ubiquitous IE 5+).Other browsers do variations of this behavior.Remember, every img tag and script tag (using the src attribute) and every object/embed tag and every link tag with the src attribute generate separate http requests - so even if your initial host page request is secure, can you really consider the page secure if not all the items on the page are secure?Ergo, IE will only show the padlock if everything is secure on the page. check out this example. with an embedded unsecure image: https://www.neirelo.com/testSecure.cfm without the image: https://www.neirelo.com/testSecure.cfm?showImage=false I hope this helps you.

Hi all
I need some help with a query that supplies a report.
The issue for me is one of the tables: (simplified)
Table
UIDNameDescriptionParentProject_id
This table contains different information in the same field (name),like the
projects status (Initializing, Engineering, etc) , the type of project
(Contractor, Govt), and condition (Open, Closed).
So projects can have 1, 2 or 3 records in this table.
The problem is if the user wants a report of all Open-Engineering-Govt
projects.
Name is a Text field.
So I can get all the open with:
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%'
(needs to be LIKE because the information is not consistant, ie:Open, is
Open,Opened, etc).
But
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%' and name LIKE '%Engineering%'
gets me nothing becuase the field cant be both at same time
and
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%'or name LIKE '%Engineering%'
gets me projects that are closed as well as open
I can get the information I need by running mulitple queries:
CFQUERY name=first
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%'
/CFQUERY
CFOUTPUT query=first
CFQUERY name=second
WHERE name LIKE '%Engineering%' and project_ID =
#first.project_id#
/CFQUERY
CFIF second.recordcount GT 0
is both opened and Engineering.
/CFIF
/CFOUTPUT
But this is cumbersome.
anyone know a better way?
We are using:CF5 and SQL 2000.

So projects can have 1, 2 or 3 records in this table.
The problem is if the user wants a report of all Open-Engineering-Govt
projects.
Name is a Text field.
So I can get all the open with:
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%'
(needs to be LIKE because the information is not consistant, ie:Open, is
Open,Opened, etc).
But
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%' and name LIKE '%Engineering%'
gets me nothing becuase the field cant be both at same time
and
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%'or name LIKE '%Engineering%'
gets me projects that are closed as well as open
I can get the information I need by running mulitple queries:
CFQUERY name=first
WHERE name LIKE '%Open%'
/CFQUERY
CFOUTPUT query=first
CFQUERY name=second
WHERE name LIKE '%Engineering%' and project_ID =
#first.project_id#
/CFQUERY
CFIF second.recordcount GT 0
is both opened and Engineering.
/CFIF
/CFOUTPUT
But this is cumbersome.
anyone know a better way?
We are using:CF5 and SQL 2000.
Thanks
Rodney

RE: SQL custom Order by
David, Yes but this may OR may not return them in the order you are looking for. However, there IS an easy way to use the UNION operator this way (for ordering). You need to stop using the asterisk (stop it! bad programmer!!). Try this: -- SELECTcol1, col2, col3, 1 AS orderCol FROMcategory WHERE CatID = 10 UNION SELECTcol1, col2, col3, 2 AS orderCol FROMcategory WHERE CatID = 8 SELECTcol1, col2, col3, 3 AS orderCol FROMcategory WHERE CatID = 9 UNION SELECTcol1, col2, col3, 4 AS orderCol FROMcategory WHERE CatID = 11 ORDER BY orderCol Obviously you can do it in a loop. Here's a (completely untested) example: Cfset Inx = 1 cfset thisList=10,8,9,11 Cfquery name=blah datasource=blah cfloop list=#thisList# index=lItem SELECTcol1, col2, col3,#Inx# AS orderCol FROMcategory WHERE CatID = #lItem# cfif Inx IS NOT listLen(thisList) UNION /cfif cfset Inx = Inx + 1 /cfloop ORDER BY orderCol /cfquery -- -Mark -Original Message- From: David Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 09, 2004 2:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SQL custom Order by This could be a freak accident that this works for me..

RE: SQL Multiple Inserts
Stored procedures are not cached queries - they are compiled execution plans. The thing that makes the difference is the databinding. SQL knows what type a variable is prior to execution of the query. So it does not have to check in the system tables to see what type it should be using.For example, if you do the following: select * from mytable where user_id = 2 SQL doesn't know A) what the column names are and B) what datatype your 2 is.So first it looks in the system tables for that db and says, give me all the columns, which it uses for select, then it goes back to the system tables and says what datatype is the column 'user_id' in the table 'mytable'.Once it knows it's an int (for example) it qualifies the 2 as an int, builds an execution plan and proceeds. Now, a stored proc looks like this: spu_mystoredproce @var1=2, @var2='marcus' SQL knows in advance in this case that @var1 and @var2 are int and char respectively.It doesn't need to check - it just tests var1 to make sure it's an int and moves on. Incidentally, this is why the use of cfqueryparam can significantly improve your performance - it binds the type to a variable.SQL caches execution plans on the server side. When you do databinding you greatly increase the likelyhood of a cache hit for your execution plan. When you do traditional CF (like the query above) you have almost NO chance of finding an execution plan in the cache. -Mark -Original Message- From: brobborb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 7:47 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SQL Multiple Inserts But will it help in terms of performance?

RE: still having a problem with insert
Steven,
You need single quotes around all char data... as in '#form.subject#'. You will need to correctly format the date as
well. Try using #createodbcdate(form.thisdate)#for that item.Also - as has been suggested a couple of times - using
CFQUERYPARAM would be a good idea - faster, and safer - like the promise of mass rail transit.

RE: still having a problem with insert
Steven,
I would add one more thing. Rather than beat your head agains the wall in CF, get a quick book - the teach yourself SQL
in24 hours would do nicely - and use the query analyzer or some other raw tool where you can pass in queries and
view results. Take a half a day and learn SELECT , INSERT, UPDATE and possible JOIN - and a few other tricks.
Simple SQL is not hard to grasp.It reads pretty easily... you can get what is happening in most queries pretty
quickly.

RE: still having a problem with insert
Steven,
yes... if you use createodbcdatetime() or createodbcdate() to massage the variable thisdate into something that
looks like {ts '2004-02-25 09:49:00'}Then you must REMOVE the single quotes around that one... also, is the column
name really thisdate?Remember the name of the column and the name of the variable don't have to match - that's a
nuance of cfinsert (and a limitation).The name of the column is dictated by the table.

stop();
And the cfc is as follows:
cfcomponent
cffunction name=sayHello access=remote output=true
returntype=string
cfset message = hello
cfreturn message
/cffunction
/cfcomponent
Now, in the output in flash debug I get ³connected², but nothing from the
