Hi I am testing an old VB6 application under Windows 7 and code that has been working fine for years is now failing. The code below updates order detail lines that have been entered via a grid. The grid can include old rows and newly added rows. The order detail table has a primary key...

Thanks Chris. I agree with you in principle but an external penetration testing company claim they managed to intercept and adjust payment to 0.01 GBP and there is evidence on the site to this effect. Perhaps they just tried a few changes to the encrypted text and got lucky. They advised...

Hi I am submitting data to a payment provider using an html form with hidden fields and SSL. However, it appears that this data can be intercepted and modified using a proxy tool. How can I achieve the equivalent within classic ASP alone - i.e. generate and submit the form from the server...

Thanks again. I don't like using IP addresses either. I actually connected with computername\instancname,port Spent virtually all day on this! SqlCmd -L was returning the named instance OK but couldn't connect without port.

Yep. adding the port did the trick, thank you so much. I should have thought of that!

Great, thank you George - that has got me connected via SSMSE and from a VB application. Can you think of a reason as to why I can't connect via SQLcmd? It persistently claims: Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : A network-related or instance-specific error has occurred...

I have a Windows XP virtual PC (guest) running on a Windows 7 PC (host) with a SQL 2008 Express instance installed. As things stand, I can only access the host SQL instance from the guest (using SSMSE and sqlcmd) when the host's firewall is completely turned off. Any attempts I make to tweak...

I can't get Chrome to work at all let alone auto start! And I have sizing/scaling problems with FF. Do you know if chrome uses the <embed> tag contents or the <param> values within the <object> tag? It's been suggested elsewhere that I upload video to Vimeo site and include some HTML they...

Interesting - I couldn't get wmv files playing with media player in firefox at all. I'll take a look at this tomorrow, thanks.

Thanks again. I guess I was hoping for a different answer that involved copy/paste of some HTML :-)! The video will be uploaded to my customer's own site. I am having some success cross-browser with a QuickTime <embed> and with MPG video format. It shows in all 3 browsers I am testing with...

Thank you for your input and apologies for the late reply. I have tried embedding a .wmv file and using an embedded windows media player. However, this only seems to work ok in Internet Explorer. There are problems in Firefox and Chrome where the black player image appears ok but the movie will...

I want to embed a video in a web page and activate it immediately when the page is opened. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Is it possible to do the same with a PowerPoint presentation and set an automatic slide show running without user intervention? The only solution I've...

Thanks for the reply. I had started to think in terms of a 50k limit so we are on the same wavelength there. I've never resized an image before but it looks like this link: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/012203-1.aspx#postadlink will help.

I am developing a site which allows registered members to upload a personal (colour) photograph to the site for others to view in the same way as many forums do. For the moment I expect most photos to be about passport size in terms of on-screen display. Perhaps up to 150 x 150 pixels. I won't...

I have been successfully using a linked server to upload data to a remote MySQL database. However, one of the fields I upload to has recently changed from a MySQL varchar type to a MySQL text type and I now have a problem because the upload fails with the message: The OLE DB provider "MSDASQL"...
