Hi all, I'm using Access on what will potentially be a very busy site. I have previously had problems with using Access on a busy site and the DB locking up. I've looked all over and I'm yet to see any discussion of this, even though a lot of people know of this common Access problem. Am I...

Microsoft and Macromedia both agree that Access is not a particularly good database to use for web applications...especially for high-use sites. They also both agree that if you're forced to use Access (like most of us are), OLE-DB is at least better to use than ODBC with Access databases. My...

Hi y'all, About 6 months ago I was a hosting a site that started to pick up a fair amount of traffic...not too hot, maybe 500 visitors / day. However, the Access database I'm using seemed to randomly 'lock up' giving the error (I'm paraphrasing from memory): "too many client tasks&quot...

Just wondering how other people get around pulling out random entries from a database. This is how I'm currently doing it (but it has a major flaw (for my purposes), which I'll mention later...) : For example, we'll use tblNews and NewsID 1/ Query DB to get NewsIDs from tblNews 2/ Loop through...

I've heard from numerous sources that CFMAIL is not good for batch emailing. Don't get me wrong, I trust those sources...:D However, I would like to know what the basic limitation is on CFMAIL. Say I have a mailing list of 1000 users, would it be a bad thing to try to send them all at once? Or...

Hi all, Ugh! Regular expressions...no matter how many people say "Oh, they're okay once you get used to them..." I can't seem to get used to them. To be honest, I'm struggling to find any CF based tutorials. Basically what I want to do is replace content between two quotation marks...

PHP Newbie. Sorry. Application variables are available in ColdFusion and I think ASP too...is there an equivalent in PHP? In case you're not familiar with these types of variables, or possibly just not familiar with 'application' as a scope name for them, I'll describe what I need: I need a...

I'm primarily a ColdFusion programmer, and I'm a bit confused about how session variables (how indeed all variables) are scoped in PHP. For example(I'm new - be gentle!) I'm registering a session variable called UserID. I want to check if that variable has content, and if it does, to print it...

Hi, I really am an absolute beginner, I know very little about Networking. Last night I put together a new machine and put WindowsME on it (only OS I had available!). My other machine runs Windows98SE. They both have 10/100 NICs and I'm using a crossover cable to network them. After a few...

Hi, I've found a few ways to connect to a database without setting up a datasource in CFadmin. However, I'm still to find one that is easy to implement site-wide. If anyone can offer me any help, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

Hi there, wanted some information (perhaps links or something to articles) about methods used to optimise CF code speed-wise. I know a few tricks which can speed up code, but I'd like to know why these work too. Thanks.

Hi, I'm looking to create a (probably the smallest possible) network, with one server and one workstation - simply because I'd like the experience. I'm looking to work with NT, with the aim of serving web pages off that server, with software like ColdFusion server and SQL server 7.0. I don't...

I want to create a forum with the basic structure: I am the first message Re: I am the first message Re: Re: I am the first message Re: I am the first message etc... except this is being bloody awkward. And I can't get my head round how to do it. I don't want to use CFTREE. I...

When programming a forum, what's the best way to get around the problem of people putting apostrophe's in their responses? Is it going to be 'preservesinglequotes'?

I've already posted about this, but I'm gonna try again: Basically, I'm doing a big mail shot (around 2000 users) using CFMAIL...but obviously this takes a while, and what with Coldfusion doing everything server side, there's no response from the page until EVERYTHING is sent. However, I'd...

Okay...here's the deal...<br><br>I need to show the progress of a CFFILE write which is creating a comma delimited file of a large database.<br><br>I first of all thought about using a CFSLIDER to show a percentage report, but I don't know if it's possible to change the VALUE of the CFSLIDER and...
