Jurgen: I don't think I understand what your problem is - why can't you use a form? Forms and their handling is defined by HTML and has in principle nothing to do with JavaScript, so there should be no problem for you to do something like this: my_asp.asp...

FTP manic: I'm happy that I was able to provide some assistance with the link to TechNet. I agree that the MS site is extremely poorly organized, although it has to be said that the search engine has improved quite substantially... Still, it is more due to chance than skill when one finds what...

You mention having made a clean install of Office2000Pro after reformatting etc. Did you install the latest service pack on top of that + security patches? If not, try that! You can download service packs etc from Micro$oft at http://office.microsoft.com/productupdates (make sure to use...

DreamB: What a great workaround - why didn't I think of that myself... But: I still would like to know how to reset the actual default property values! DrMaggie --------- "Those who don't know the mistakes of the past won't be able to enjoy it when they make them again in the...

Dreamboat: Yes, that's the way I figured it had to be done... I do have vague recollections of this method working on a different computer, but that was "ages ago" at my former working place. However, I believe that then the settings only remained changed in a specific Word window -...

Hi, I often want to insert graphics content into my Word2000 documents, and in order to be able to control the positioning etc of my illustrations, I normally first create text boxes, into which I then insert my .gif or whatever files. This works great, but I am very irritated by the fact that...

stobeck: Have you tried contacting the tech support of your vendor or of Sybase? Perhaps there is some FAQ available, or a list of known issues - it seems odd that you (or rather your application) should be the only one experiencing this problem! Anyway, good luck - and if you figure it out...

Sounds like you'll have to start from scratch with that one, reformatting the drive and all. Is there some way to remove the harddrive and attach it to another computer - in that way, maybe the user's own data could be recovered? DrMaggie --------- "Those who don't know the mistakes of...

Hi, Check out the following 4guysfromrolla article: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/demos/bubblesort.asp DrMaggie --------- "Those who don't know the mistakes of the past won't be able to enjoy it when they make them again in the future." — Leonard McCoy, MD (in Diane Duane's Doctor's...

Silvinho: Are you sure that CDONTS is installed properly on your server? Or that there are no other "smtp applications" active at the same time? Check out this link for a possible solution: http://www.aspfree.com/asp/cdontsandimail.asp DrMaggie --------- "Those who don't know...

stobeck: I've never heard of such a problem either - but hey, computers are always worth a laugh, aren't they... Are you storing these prices (or whatever) in the "money" data type format of Sybase? Could it be that there is a bug with this particular data type that would be avoided...

Paul12345: What operating system are you using? I would suggest using your Netscape browser to download a full installation copy of IE 6 from Microsoft, which you can then install at your leisure. This should work at least if you have Win9x or WinNT. I had to do something similar when IE 5.0...

Hi guys, I use a similar approach as Silvinho in order to show certain pages only to logged-in people (administrators of a conference website). The application was tested under PWS/IIS 4.0 (=the version you can install on a NT4.0 Workstation) and is running on a "proper" NT4.0 Server...

zhongwei: I'm not an expert on joining tables, but perhaps checking out the tutorial "SQL Join" at www.baycongroup.com/sql_join.htm could give you some idea on how to proceed - they give what seems to be an illustrative example! DrMaggie --------- "Those who don't know the...
