    link between sites intermittently doesn't work

    Thank you both. I have done these, and all but one of my users have eliminated the problem. I still have one user that gets the blasted 'page cannot be displayed'... And it's so hard to diagnose when you're removed from them.

    link between sites intermittently doesn't work

    We have a site where the user logs in then gets transferred to a second site. Most of the time it works, however, for several users, when they go to log on a second time (often the next day), they get the standard "Page cannot be displayed...Cannot find server or DNS error." On the 'calling'...

    Access Upsizing

    I have a database in Access 2003 that I want to convert to SQL Server. I read that the Upsize function in Access is the way to go. But whenever I try to run this (even with 1 simple table), I get ActiveX component can't create object. Do I need to do something else first? Any insight...

    I have a page that does a lot of calculation and I'd like to show an animated clock or hourglass while the user is waiting. Can someone point me to a script that I can use / modify? Thanks!

    Referrer

    Where can I find information on how the 'referrer' is set? Specifically, I want to check the referrer to ensure that the page is being accessed from the proper site (also, I do different things if it came from outside the site versus if the user was already in the site and just coming back to...

    Opening Excel file outside of web browser

    emozley, that's the sense I got. I found one solution that claims to work, however, it involves the user downloading an ActiveX control. That presents a whole new set of issues. So I've told my users to download the file then open it in Excel. That seems to be the simplest approach for...

    Opening Excel file outside of web browser

    I've created an Excel file with the user's specified data on the server. If the user downloads the file, they can open it in Excel,no problem. If the user chooses to open the file, it opens in Excel within the browser window. I would much prefer it to open in Excel. The users aren't going to...

    SQL Server version needed?

    So I can put Express on a web server? I got the impression that, as someon above aptly put it, I'd need to 'donate more $$$ to MS' to run on a web server. If I put the Express version up and reach the 4GB limit, is it just a matter of updating a license, or do I need to reinstall / upgrade...

    SQL Server version needed?

    I have a small web-based application that I need to upgrade from Access (starting to get sluggish and there is little more I can do to optimize it). What is the most inexpensive version of SQL Server that I can buy and set up to run one application on a web server? (I went to the MSoft site and...

    SSL

    Lee, Thanks for your response. I really don't see any images or scripts that aren't on the server. I've taken out the Google analytics code, as it references Google. I don't know what else to look for.

    SSL

    I just installed SSL on my site and I get the message "this page contains both secure and nonsecure items do you want to display the nonsecure items?". I went through and removed all references to 'http' in all pages, yet I still get the message on some pages. Not only that, but now my...

    Retaining input data from page

    to 'store them in the hidden form fields', don't i need to create duplicates of all the fields? Isn't that a big deal. Then how do I know to copy them?

    Retaining input data from page

    There are a LOT of fields to save in hidden fields. As I've never used AJAX before, is it hard to use? Could I get this written in a couple hours?
