AskWoody LoungerIt wasn’t difficult to work it out myself. Just remove all the double quotes. They were originally inserted by Frontpage.

AskWoody LoungerThis looks like a useful tip, however, how does the Write method output a line like that below?
Response.Write “
”It obviously doesn’t work in this form. Is there a way of ‘escaping’ the double quote?

AskWoody LoungerThanks Leif, the “Move everything out” wheeze worked a treat.

AskWoody LoungerAll these “buttons” on the task bar are just folders sitting anywhere on your hard disk.
I would create a new folder in my own area of the disk called for instance “My Net” and copy into it the shortcuts you want. Then add this folder as a new task bar “button”. My Network Places invariably has mare ‘places’ than you need, since it seems to remember every network destination youve ever been to.

AskWoody LoungerAll of these ‘costs’ are irrelevant since there isn’t a person in the world able to take advantage of the possibility of an OS booting a millisecond or 2 faster than another.
Sorry, I just blinked, there go another 376ms.

AskWoody LoungerWill you guys quit going on about “the constitution”. This is the internet, not the USA, where your constitution doesnt count. Its an international forum.

AskWoody LoungerHear Hear MerC.
I have 2 systems running build 2505 (RC1), the ‘weakest’ of which is a 233 with 64M RAM. Its perfectly adequate for most office tasks. I too used to think activation was not on, but having used the product, I would do almost anything to have it instead of 98/ME/NT/2000. Come on Legare, try it out, you can always go back to 2000 if you have a bad experience, but I doubt you will. -

AskWoody LoungerI use World Time from http://www.pawprint.net/wt/.
Use the Server and client on your main machine and the clients only on your POS machines. You dont say what protocols you are running but you need TCP/IP for this. Set the clients to get their time from the main machines server, and the main machines client to get the time from the internet. This software is FREE. -

AskWoody LoungerMore detail.
ASP capable servers allow you to run a database or similar and access it through something.asp pages. These are usually full of VBScript or similar and they access your database on the server, create a web page on the fly and send it to the person who asked for it.(Surfer).
FTP, used for uploading your site will be to http://ftp.pingu.co.uk with an account name and password specific to the web site you are creating.
Each of your web sites will be independent (and cost a tenner) and will have their own account and password.

AskWoody LoungerI use Bt Surf Together, Home Highway and Freeserve to access the internet. ISP and Web Host don’t have to be the same!!

AskWoody LoungerI have been using XP Pro RC1 recently on a 233MHz P3 machine with 64M RAM. While its not the quickest, its certainly good enough to cope with “ordinary” users if there are such beings. Todays crop of 800MHz + machines with 128M RAM should fairly breeze along.

AskWoody LoungerThanks for that Jim, but I’ve already been to these sites. In the meanwhile, the requestor of the TFTP client says he didn’t think of using Windows NT which has a built in client. Hope I didn’t waste your time

AskWoody LoungerWhen I first started collaborating, we simply set the Read Only attribute. As this seems to be over ridden by Frontpage you have to be careful when using this method. You also need a strict couple of rules that NOONE breaks. But its cheap.
We are now using Visual SourceSafe which is great for anything you need to share with others. However, even with this, someone is bound to break the rules and lose an edit some where along the line.

AskWoody LoungerNo problems with that Leif. Thanks for dropping in. Load time may be dependent on our hosting service. We move next month to a data center with a single 100M switch between us and a 140M backbone.
Note for Tahir — Nice looking site.
