    ASP and windows services

    Is there a way from ASP (not .NET) to detect whether a particular windows service is up and running? For exmaple, how could I detect the status of the "Event Log" service?

    How does this code work? ("static" keyword)

    I came across this code with a very bizzare syntax, but apparently it compiles and runs without an error: class z{ z(String s){ System.out.println(s); System.exit(0); } static{new z("Hello, World!");} } I understand everything that happens in the constructor, but what's going on...

    How do I write a J2EE application?

    I am very new to J2EE and just trying to figure out how to do things. I built a simple application - a JSP to display data and a servlet to get that data from a database. It seems to work well, but from what I understand it would make sense to make the servlet into a Java Bean instead...

    Sort by Date Modified

    I have a folder with audio files. Windows XP allows me to sort file by album, year. track time, etc. which is great. But, of course I also want to sort by the date modified. To do this I have to go to View > Choose Details and check "Date Modified". However when I close the...

    Automatic downloads in IE under XP

    This is a silly newbie question, but does anyone know how to disable automatic downloads in IE? For example, yesterday I downloaded a 300 MB file, which IE saved to a "Temporary Folder". I did not have time to install the program I downloaded then so I just forgot about it. Sure...

    Efficiency Issue

    Let's say I have a simple table with two columns - C1, and C2. C1 is indexed, while C2 is not. If I were to write a stamenet like this: select C1, C2 from table WHERE C1 = "A" and C2 = "B" Would it be any different if I write it like this: select C1, C2 from table WHERE...

    How do I pass database logon information?

    I am trying to use URL reporting on the web and wondering if there is any way I can pass the database logon info without it actually being displayed in clear text. Of course, the simplest way to do this would be user0=username&password0=password, however everybody would see the login...

    Using the BETWEEN keyword

    I have a table with these two columns: transaction_code, transaction_description I need to have a way of selecting a RANGE of transaction codes from from this table. So for example, you would input 'A' as the starting code and 'D' as the ending code to get all the 'A','B','C','D' records. So...

    Off-Topic: Crystal Support

    Is it just me or did Crystal create the most illogical, poorly organized, support area on the face of the earth? I'm not here to flame the company or it's products, but I would just like to list a few grievances/suggestions. Case Study: I needed to find some examples of Crystal Reports 8.5 on...

    How do I detect when user logs off

    I have a secure application with a "log off" button. It redirects users to another page (i.e. "you are logged out"). This is how I detect when the people log off/log in and store it in a log .txt file. Unfortunatelly very few people actually use the "log off&quot...

    More BAD ideas

    I'm deffinately not in any type of managing postion(although I wish I would be), but hopefully I can provide a different perspective on this as part of "the technical staff". Bad ideas: 1. Holding meetings with high-level management. My manager thinks this is a good idea, but it...

    Fear regarding task scheduler?

    I have an important application scheduled to run on a machine every day. It must be ran under my username. However, I need to change my password once in a while. If I change my password on the network will the task be unable to run on that machine? Will I have to change it there everytime...

    Problems with the export feature

    I'm running Crystal for VB and I'm trying to create a button that will automatically open the Crystal export dialog (without opening the report first). Sounds simple enough, but for some reason it exports ALL the 100,000 records from the table, not those that were selected as part of the query...

    A humane way to FTP from ASP?

    One way or another I need to FTP something from my ASP script. Right now I create the file (which I will FTP), then create a batch file (containing FTP commands), then run the FTP.exe (that comes with MSDOS!) through WSH. And I pass the name of the batch file i.e. "FTP -s...

    How do I export Crystal reports from VB?

    I need to write a function which would automatically export a report and open it in Excell. This is possible to do by clicking the "Export" button on the toolbar, but it is annoying to choose the same settings everytime. I know it's possible to automate this, but I have no idea how.

    A few questions about linking .. (with increasing difficulty :)

    a) Is it possible to link a field to a website (i.e. when it's clicked on)? b) Instead of linking to a static website, is it possible to change the URL so that the field value is passed? For example the field I'm linking is AccountNumber. Would it be possible to somehow link to...
