Well who knew. Sounds like that would probably work just swell for you, Hap. I just write it from scratch. I like understanding every line; makes debugging way easier. Elijah

Heh, sorry... to clarify, Im sure some creative find and replace or custom scripting in vb could do that, but if you have the opportunity to get into asp, you'd be oh so powerful in your cataloging abilities. Of course I may be completely misunderstanding what you're attempting to do. -Elijah

I would consider moving to a more advanced catalog system. Something that would access a database and write the information as the page is requested. ASP is great for this, PHP and others would work too.

You could use some javascript to write a custom hidden field to the form in the HTML (during the page load), and have the javascript generate a value based on the date or time. Then the field would be part of the form post when they submit the page. Elijah

Have you ever used ASP? You can do all of this in a very flexible manner w/ ASP and ADO. Otherwise I think there are data wizards in frontpage for this sort of thing... but they spit out yucky template stuff that I don't believe you can customize much. Elijah

What server technology are you using? ASP? Just plain HTML?

First, thanks for the replies. It's a little more complicated, because Frontpage creates a master layout table while compiling the borders, and it always sets this table to 100% width. The blank gif tricks will work if you dont have to worry about the screen size changing, but I have to be...

Hello, I can't seem to figure out how to create a centered fixed-width layout and use shared borders at the same time. Frontpage ('02) always seems to stretch the finished layout to 100% of the page, which makes huge spaces between the side borders and the main content if I size the content...

Thanks for your reply! However, I added the other modules that I found in a download from BO (funny initials... wonder if they thought that through) Still nothing about vs_crt or anything, but i deployed it and it worked anyway... and I really am using a dataset to fill the report... weird...

Look into the Application.Run and Application.Exit statements. They helped me a lot in terms of program flow. I also came from the VB6 world. -Elijah

Hi, I have Crystal Reports 9 Developer and in order to use an ADO.NET dataset with a report, crystal says I have to include the VC_CRT.msm and VC_STL.msm merge modules in my setup project. Ok. Problem is, I can't find them anywhere! I've searched my entire hard drive, the entire installation...

Sorry for the long delay in my reply! Hopefully you have the e-mail notif. on ;) Yep you could have a hidden field in the form, and when the page loads, set that field's value to Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") Yes the spelling is correct heh. Some firewalls will block this...

It's important to note that if it is client-side code (embedded vbscript in an html page), it will be running on the client machine, and cannot return information about the server logon... Elijah

Sorry, the Insert method is a member of the Items collection in the ListBox class. There are two overloads... ListBoxName.Items.Insert(index,ItemText) .Insert(index,ListItem) Elijah

I did a little testing and found this sort-of solution: :: dir/file1.asp :: <% On Error Resume Next ' Plenty of trapping options, though Server.Execute(&quot;file2.asp&quot;) %> :: dir/file2.asp :: <% If Request.ServerVariables(&quot;URL&quot;) <> &quot;/dir/file2.asp&quot; Then _...
