    Sanitizing illegal filenames on NTFS volumes

    I have a few USB portable NTFS drives that have also been used on Mac and Linux systems, via fuse and other native OS accommodations. When I reconnect a portable drive to a Windows system, I discover that the Mac and Linux systems did not fully follow the rules for NTFS filenames. While copying...

    Setting height and width for an image in an Outlook email signature

    I'm struggling to define height and width of an image we want to include in an email signature with Outlook. Right now, the image loads in an enlarged, blurry state of about 600 pixels wide. The native resolution in the image file is only 450 pixels wide. Can anyone recommend a way to define a...

    Opening a web page from VB6

    What's the best way to open a web page from VB6 today? We have a command from our program's Help menu to open a HTML help document. We had a ShellExecute command but recent Windows security updates appear to block that method. Our developer is now proposing a solution...

    Sorting out NTFS filesystem issues

    I have some NTFS external USB drives that I attach to both Linux and Windows systems. Windows does not handle these NTFS drives as well as Linux (or Linux abuses some rules when writing to NTFS). Examples: On Linux, I may have written two adjacent files as "index.html" and "Index.html" but...

    Is this resolved by joins?

    I have a table with form submissions. The first column (s) is the submission identifier. The second column (d) is the field identifier in the form. The third column (data) is the value that was submitted. s|d|data 1|1|2020-07-01 1|2|A 2|1|2020-07-01 2|2|B 3|1|2020-07-02 3|2|B 4|1|2020-07-04...

    Replacing external WMF references with embedded resource

    I am trying to sort out an inherited program that needs to exist a few more years. The intent is to make the executable contain everything it needs, instead of calling on external image files. Currently, I have: Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Demo\image.wmf") I understand that I can add the...

    Stumped on a simple conditional

    I am picking up a VB6 project. My experience is limited to PHP/Python. The following code is confusing me. Everything is evaluating to be true and the ItmRun variable is changed to 49.57 and then 55.52 when stepping through with the following variables: ItmRun = 10.00 gType = "BBB " gSeries =...

    Converting JDE Julian date to Gregorian date in SELECT statement

    I have a MySQL table with Julian dates coming from JD Edwards data. JDE defines Julian dates as CYYDDD (century, year, day). July 4, 2018 is 118184. Is there a way to select this data as a gregorian date in MySQL?

    Replacing form controls in VB6

    My company has a VB6 app (with source). A former employee made the mistake of using a non-redistributable DLL (FM20.dll). We need to replace the controls FM20.dll offered on a single form. As I understand it, the two form controls we utilize could be replaced as: *MSForms.ComboBox (FM20.DLL)...

    Finding one of an array of tokens in a particular string position

    I could use some guidance to select all products where the 2nd position of the string is equal to P or J or W or Z or G or any of another dozen defined letters. Is there a way to do this without just copying/pasting the LOCATE for each valid option in this example? SELECT DISTINCT `Type` FROM...

    Slow HTTP traffic on VMware intranet server

    We have a 150MB file on our public HTTP web server (hosted offsite) that can download to my desktop in about a minute. The same file also sits on our in-house intranet server (Windows on VMware) but it takes 7 minutes more to download internally via HTTP. This problem seems limited to HTTP. I...

    Unintentional sharing of form data with Microsoft

    This is an odd situation that could use explanation. My company's web site has a contact form. An individual enters their information and it is stored in our database, along with their IP address. Days, weeks or months later, we get additional submissions with identical data. But each time, the...

    combining worksheets

    I am way out of my element in Excel VBA. I would have organized this in a database but it is not my project. I need to combine several worksheets from the same workbook into one worksheet. I don't need the first 2 and the last 6 worksheets so I am selecting worksheets by specific names in the...

    Is there a reason not to place a link on a client's web site?

    I've run across a few sites lately where the page footer says "site created by [some web design company]" but there is no link to the web developer's site. Can anyone explain a reason that a link would be absent, short of neglect by an inexperienced designer that has no clue about SEO? I've...

    Legal question about proxied content

    I would appreciate if someone could point me to US legal issues with unauthorized proxied content on a web site. My company's web site is being accessed by another company. They obtain one of our live database-generated pages, trim out the data that they want, and then present it on their own...

    A drawing canvas as a form field element

    I'm developing a technical support web form. It would be very helpful if I could include an area where the user can make a rough sketch of their issue with their mouse. The input would be saved as an image file (transparently to the user) to be included with the other data in the form. Is there...

    Redirection based on an iframe on an external site

    Another web site has framed my company's site in theirs without our consent. The other site is pretending to be associated with ours. I can break our site out of their frameset with simple javascript but I'd like to go a step further and present an alert to the visitor that the rogue site is...

    Textarea height on mobile Safari (iOS, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch)

    I'm working on a web form for display on mobile Safari that includes default text in a text area. When viewed on iOS 4.2.1 iPod touch, the text is cut off with no ability to scroll. The text is not scrollable when iOS loads the keyboard onscreen as well. The user cannot edit anything that is out...

    PHP editor for iPhone OS?

    Supposing one was going on the road without a laptop, can anyone offer a personal recommendation on an iPhone/iPod app that can access FTP/SFTP and edit plain text (PHP/INI/HTML/CSS) files? Syntax highlighting, ability to create new files, and cheap price are ideal features. I'm browsing the...

    I'm seeking a solution for a co-worker that would like to take a web address and save it to a folder in the Groupwise Cabinet or a subfolder within. He wants to create and organize bookmarks in Groupwise instead of his web browser. Is this possible? We're using the Groupwise 7 client. I first...
