    IIS Server

    for infor:Jan 16th 2007. Just read your message - there are work arounds means installing a couple of Dll's into your system32 folder; copid off win 200 pro - once done - I really cant remember there names sorry if I do I'll come back and let you know - I then used the Windows 2000 prof disc and the xp home installation disc. The files you need are mainly on the XP home disc, to unlock then you need to change the 2 dlls not very well noted above. I had to change the extensions to about 100 files so it was a fiddle but I copied then into a folder and having had to reintall ISS recently I just pointed the update wizard to that folder and reinstalled. It can be done. Bye
  3. Thank you; Yes the memo field will have a unique ID and the code is the direction(s) I'm after. I have set up simple guest book pages so some of what your showing makes sense but I have a small nag about how to control where within the page the response/text will be written but that said, I can track the text.split, new String, new Number through the help channels and try to work from there. Thanks again. The Sun is only moments away.
  4. Thanks You must be one of those gifted people I've heard about - us poor mortals have to struggle and rent (or should that be rant) A hint at a 'method' say using ASP would really help. To be honest I kinda do know what I want to acheive but do not have the experience to know if the way I'm approaching the idea is right or wrong. On this instance I really cant be wrong as it is for an important local gov. project and I need to be using the right approach. If anyone can say point me to a meaningful example it would help, bearing in mind I'm self educated and the teacher was not that brilliant. Just in case the sun shines
  5. Hi, Thanks for your direction. I wondered about ASP and will look at it again. Memo fields in Access only hold the text data and any LINE RETURN charactors applied to the text. It is the potential size of the data within the memo field - a memo field can be - I believe - all most any size - which has me a bit bothered as this will need to be placed meaningfully on the page. Thanks again. The sun didn't shine today but its out there somewhere.
  6. I'm fairly new to web design. Used CSS, liked it but site died in IE7 and cant see why - that moaned - I've been asked to design a site where the client wants to populate some of the text through the user selecting an option. The text will be held in memo fields within an ACCESS database. For example selecting a job - maybe through a hyper link on the page, then the job spec is to be displayed 'seamlessly'/ dynamically on the page. The clients wants the returned text to be formatted the same as the static text etc. I feel / think it can be done but am very unsure as to which approach to take and desperately need pointing in the right direction. Is any one willing to take me under their wing????? thanks, Ray - please let the sun shine today
