Folk, Did you ever try to fill a pool with a three inch drain with a garden hose? Only to discover that the drain was open? I noticed some craziness in my email client, then in a text editor. Checked, found that I'd had the box up for a bit over three days. Rebooted. Things seem be working...

Sorry, Overlooked that part. I've tried several different tags, <pre>, <code>, etc., to display results on the processing page. Then I got smart - I thought - and wrote the result to a text file and looked at it with NoteTab Pro, ConTEXT, several other editors that either display, or allow...

Sorry, Ken, I should have mentioned that just eliminating the br tag doesn't work. That gives me one long string of text, no line breaks, no paragraphs, just a single string, essentially unreadable as an article. I suspect the articles were originally produced in an HTML editor - in fact I...

Folk, The task is to grab a web page, strip the HTML tags, and save it as a text file. Kind of a reverse CMS. The problem is converting the br tags back into line breaks. I can't find a PHP function that does it, so I've tried str_replace(), but to no avail. I.E., str_replace("<br...

Folk, Have a problem with DIV(s). div.mainout { text-align: center; background-color: #DDFFFF; border: thin; border-color: #0000FF; border-style: dashed; cursor: default; /* float: left;*/ margin: 0em; padding: 0em 0em 1em 0em; width: 100%; } div.main { text-align: center...

Folk, I recenly reacquired an XP Pro laptop, WinBook J4, 1G RAM, 3G Intel CPU, 60G HD. When I had such a box before - over a year ago - I had no problem setting up IIS to serve web pages on a development box, i.e., not a public server. However, this time around, IIS will not serve HTMLK pages...

Folk,<br> <br> Is there a <i><b>simple</b></i> way to copy a SQL7.0 database from one machine to another? <br> <br> I have a WinNT server, SP5, with live data in SQL Server 7.0 format. My development machine is a Win98 with SQL Server desktop installed (not Access/MSDE). In order to work with...

Folk,<br> <br> I really need some help on this, 'cause I'm novitiate in this area.<br> <br> I need to be able to do some forms input validation <b>before</b> allowing web-page input to be stored in a database (SQL Server 7.0, but that shouldn't be significant, I'd think).<br> <br> I can do the...

chiph,<br> <br> Think the 'com' referenece here is to the Component Object Model, not the small memory C compilation method.<br> <br> However, I don't know enough to write _either_ variety &lt;grin!&gt;.<br> <br> Kyrene,<br> <br> If you have MSDN access, there was a...

bitbrain,<br> <br> Think you'll have to write code to move the file(s) from current location to the recycle bin. (There probably is an API call for this, but I don't know it off the top of my head, and Appleman's reference is at work at the moment.)<br> <br> Also, you might check the MSDN site...

ts2be,<br> <br> You can use the Formula() collection of Crystal to supply such data. Have the user supply DateStart and DateEnd via a couple of text boxes, calendar controls, etc., then pass the values to @DateStart and @DateEnd as <br> Formula(0)=start-date-from-text-box<br>...

If you go the route suggested by MichaelD, check out Crystal Info. Seagate is giving away 50-seat licenses and a free CD with both Crystal Info and Crystal Analysis. Free is a hard price to beat, and Info provides some added capabilities that make Crystal a lot more useful.<br> <br> Make a...

mick01,<br> <br> Couple of things. <br> <br> First, make certain that you've formatted all sections to suppress blank space. <br> <br> Second, make certain that the section has not been physically resized (via click-n-drag) larger than the font line requrements. (This last one ate me alive...

benr,<br> <br> You should be able to do this through your ODBC call (I asume you are using ODBC). The call would be something like this. (This is a direct port from an existing app - I think it still exists, anyway.)<br> <br> "DSN=LTSCost; uid=databarn; pwd=password"<br> <br> An alternative...

swbranno,<br> <br> I'm doing a mailing (with JMail component) after an update to an Oracle instance table depending upon whether the update produced errors or not.<br> <br> The code I'm using is a straight steal from part of one of Charles Carroll's tutorials on ASP...
