many thanks. Alistair

Hi, I was getting a message that said "File / not found. Please check ... etc". But, I just tried after reading your message and got on just fine. This is really puzzling because I haven't made any changes to httpd and I haven't re-started the server for a couple of days. It seems like it...

Hi, I have Apache 2.0.52 (win32) PHP 4.3.10 mod_perl 1.99 running on Windows 2000. No problems and it seems to be working well. I have DirectoryIndex set up as and this worked well until the other day. I could simply enter the directory address for the server http://discors.jcu.edu.au/ and...

So, is there a straightforward, generic fix to this? I have read some posts about using Meta tags to refresh in some circumstances. Is it possible to say that, when sending cookies and using the Location header in IIS, you should first call; header(parameters) then call <meta...

Thanks. That actually makes some sense to me. I think I have a hard time understanding the file structure or servers so the idea of absolute and relative gets mixed up with whether I am thinking server file structure or web file structure. I will try the 'nph' idea. Does that generally lead to...

I am pretty sure that it is an absolute URL. The variable resolves to something like "https://discors.jcu.edu.au/ojsb/classes/install/". But, I must say I haven't really got a good understanding of what an absolute versus a relative URL is. [blush] Thanks. Alistair

Hi, I know that there is a problem with IIS and redirecting using the header() function. But, does anyone have a workaround for this code? The purpose of the code is to build an expression ($url) to redirect to and then redirect to that built location. function redirect($url...

Hi, Thanks for the ideas. They were both really helpful and gave me the push in the right direction. The simplest solution, though I haven't implemented it fully- just testing the idea, was to use the FindComponents method. Here is what I have so far; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender...

Hi, I have a form with a multiple number of labels on it. Each label is named "l1" "l2" ... "ln". I need to select a label at random to display some text. So I want to randomly generate a number between 1 and n - easy. Then I want to use that number to point to the label with that number in...

and the answer was simple and obvious. Basically the image needs to be on top to start with. So, as shape2 was created after shape1 and the image object it was at the top. Thus, when I put the image on it, the image went behind the shape. grrr. Probably be something I'll have to pay...

Hi, I have a form with 2 squares(shape1 and shape2) and an image control. The picture in the image will be loaded at runtime in the end, but for the moment I have just put one in to try this out. The idea is to drag the image to a shape. Once it is dropped there a range of other processing...

Thanks Robbie. I guess that I can also keep one image hidden so that the distortion looks like it is happening within the one picture. The next step would be to stretch the image2, by whatever amount, and then use the same copy code back into image1, right? I will give this a go and then come...

Hi, This is a conceptual question, at this point. No code. I am developing software to use in research to evaluate people's body image, and particularly trying to assess self image distortions. Some software that I have seen, but not used, allows subjects to distort portions of an image of...

hey... just great. Many thanks. my email is campbells4@ozemaildotcomdotau. Do you happen to know what has happened with the development? It was an excellent little database engine and I lost my only copy when I crashed my OS a while ago. Alistair

Thanks Steve. The only download link I can find at delphi32.com links back to the defunct webpage for mylittlebase. So, at this point unless someone has a copy I can get by email it looks like it's gone for now. Alistair
