I have a customer who has a news page (a page on their site that they update via an ASP script with their latest news). The records are stored in an Access database. This page currently only supports text, but they want to ability to add pictures to each record. I've done most of the work. I...

I've written the bulk of an application that's supposed to run, basically permanently, in the background and do certain repetetive tasks in order to keep two shipping systems in sync (it's complicated and quite boring, so I won't go into it here). The problem is that I've just discovered the...

The subject says it all really. I want to be able to trigger an event when a new file is discovered in a given directory. I have a VB program that's rather cumbersome and doesn't really suit the environment it's being used in that I'd like to port to tcl. It uses a timer to decide when to check...

A colleague has written a program which simply transfers a specified file to a specified location via ftp. It uses api calls to handle the ftp transfer and has no dependencies other than the vb runtimes. It works perfectly on any win98 system we've tested it on, but not on NT systems unless (and...

I know this might seem to defeat the object of tclkit somewhat, but is it possible to use the registry package in conjunction with tclkit, so that the finished product is a starkit or starpack which is capable of accessing and manipulating the windows registry?

I'm trying to cobble together an app which will run in the background and periodically check an email account for an email from a specific address, which will contain an attachment. The idea is that it'll just save the attachment from that one email to a file where another application can pick...

I'm at the end of my tether with this. I've come to the conclusion that Flash actually follows some bizarre non-logic of its own when dealing with loaded movies. In this case I'm trying to load movie into an existing movie instance based on a filename I'm drawing from a database (which is...

I have a movie which is just a horizontally scrolling, wrapped sequence of images. To achieve the wrap, I've put the first three images right at the end of the sequence again, so that when the sequence loops back to the beginning it looks continuous. The problem is that the last couple of...

My dad has a problem with reports in Access 97. He needs to be able to create a template such that all subsequent reports use that template instead of the default. We've followed through the less than expansive online help and got nowhere. We have a template report and we've set the report...

I'm using Flash 5. I've got a "gallery" type tween which moves a series of pictures horizontally across the screen in a loop. For the sanity of my users, I want to streamline it somewhat because it's pretty huge. What I want to do is load the individual pictures while the main tween is...

I've written the following subroutine to "merge" two database tables. It takes two parameters, a database to copy from and a database to copy to. It cycles through the database to copy from and where there is a record which exists in the other database it edits it, and where the record...

I have a customer who wants to be able to upload updates to his database as access files. These access files will contain a table called parts which contains the records to be merged with the existing "main" database (which also has a table called parts, into which these new (or...

I've written a very small DLL to handle calls to a database. It's going to be much bigger and more useful than it is now in future, this is something of a pilot, just to check that I can get it working. Well, at the moment it seems I can't. The only code in the DLL is below: Public Function...

This is just a general question really. Why is it that, within a movie, the stated co-ordinates of an object (_x and _y) seem to become completely arbitrary? I've got a scrolling area of text which uses several movie clips, some of which are nested. I could do with being able to say whether one...

I've created a form which is populated with checkboxes at run time. I don't want them to be ordinary checkboxes, but rather the graphical ones that look like commandbuttons, however I can't set the .style property. For some reason I can create the object at run time, I can place it wherever I...

I have a problem with an SQL query I'm trying to use. It's supposed to return all the fields of the set of records where TRIPNUM is unique. i.e. if I have the following table: ID TRIPNUM TRIPNAME 1 BS0207 Blackpool 2 BS0204 Alton Towers 3 BS0207 Blackpool...

I need to check if a file exists in order to make sure that a user has put a disc in their cd-rom drive. At the moment it seems I need to use an error trap to stop the program exiting with a run-time error (using the 'dir(filename)<>&quot;&quot;' method) in the case that the user doesn't have...

I'm tearing my hair out with this one. I have a project which is essentially a browser/search tool for a database stored on a cd. Everything works splendidly on most machines, however some have a lamentable tendency to give the error in the subject rather than doing what they are told. I can...

I have a form with a set of buttons on it and a textbox. It is intended to act as a soft-keyboard to provide input facilities within an application intended for handheld devices. The form itself works fine. What I need to do is to be able to call it from any point in the program (wherever the...

Is it possible to check whether a particular string is one of the elements of a listview? By that I mean something like: If &quot;test&quot; is in listview1 then ...etc rather than going through every element checking if it matches the criteria. Thanks
