    Drawing and animation on webpages

    Hi all, I know this is a really stupid question, but how do you draw with vbscript? I've seem masses of javascript versions (usually something like cursor-trails or snow, especially at christmas!) however, I've never come across a vbscript version to hack about and play with. TIA! Comaboy

    SMTP/POP3 MX Records question

    Hi all, I'm very new to DNS Adminstration and SMTP, so bear with if I'm being stupid... OK, I've pointed an MX Record at my (closed relay) mailserver, and placed a couple of A Records for a mail sub-host. Configured Outlook and my SMTP server and it all works fine. Now in all honesty I'm...

    Set a file's properties

    Ok, so I've generated an .rtf file. What I need to do now is set some document Summary Properties (ie Title, Author, etc). I've tried playing with DSOFILE with no luck, and I'm sure there MUST be an API call to do this... I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA !

    Forms Graphics Origin

    I've search high and low for this one... Is there a way to move the form's graphics origin so that (0, 0) could be set to the centre of the form, rather than the corner?

    Memory Mapped Files

    Hi all, I'm trying to understand MMF's - My idea is a batch process that builds a file in memory and then flushes the lot to disk on completion. Now I'm new to MMF's so I'm probably missing something (like THE POINT! :-)) Could someone try to explain what I'm doing wrong in the Psuedo...

    FTP Username and Password in Statusbar

    Hi all, I'm certain this must have been addressed before, but searching has proved futile so far. When IE6 logs into a restricted FTP site, the username and password is sent cleartext. Not exactly secure, but acceptable for simple senarios, HOWEVER, what isn't acceptable is the statusbar! If...

    Get F/P username *without* ASP

    Hi, I need to pull the the username of the logged in user on a restricted FrontPage site, (ie, the user logs on as "guest" or "joemoe"). The idea is to redirect all guests to an access request form. Sort of... If LOGON_USER = "guest" Then 'Do whatever End If...

    XP Clients will not connect via RAS

    Hi all, OK, I've got a REALLY weird problem with RAS. (get ready for a long story!) I had RAS set up and working fine for a user dialling in over a standard modem on a Win98 client. He could browse the file system, network, etc no problem. Then we bought him a shiny new 'puter. With XP Pro...

    'page footers' in tables.

    Hi all, I think this is a one of those 'easy-when-you-know how-to-do-it' questions, and it applies equally to Word and Excel. OK, so you got a long table spanning multiple pages. You can as many rows/columns to repeat at the top to sort out your headings. Fine. But now you want, say, two...

    Wotcha! Ok, I'm automating Outlook from VB and I want filter the Inbox (like the Find Items dialog) with some code something like this.. Function FindOutlookItem(strToFind As String) Dim ol As Object, olns, MyFolder, MyItems, myItem Set ol =...

    Get the exact screen position of a subform control

    OK, here's the background... I've been asked to create an 'Outlook-Style' combobox so that users can click the down-button to open the list and then sort on various fields by clicking on a heading label - So I've built a little Pop-Up form, thrown some code into the Heading labels to sort when...

    Manually Extract Word Macro

    Hi guys, I've a dodgy word.doc file - on opening, word reports that it has macros, however, nothing shows in the VB Editor. Not that I'm paraniod or anything (MUCH!) but I want to get to the bottom of this. I've searched the web and come up blank so far, so here's the question.... Anyone know...

    API inconpatabilities between 98 and 95?

    Hi guys, I've recently finished a VB6 database front-end that uses a lot of API calls (many thanks to all the free sources out there - nothing like real code to learn from!). I've used API calls to build irregular-shaped forms so the user can see a lot of information in a well laid-out...

    Outllook Encoding problem

    OK, situation: One of our users has OL2000, the rest are OL97. When the OL2000 sends email, the OL97 clients find the email as a text attachment within the email, like ATT0001.TXT. Another OL2000 client parses the email correctly. We all use MIME as a sending format, and after a few wasted...
