Files "SmartViewerHTMLFrame.asp" and "SmartViewerHTMLPage.asp"
Have installed Crystal Reports 9 on PC (WIN XP), and 2 files: "SmartViewerHTMLFrame.asp" and "SmartViewerHTMLPage.asp" are missing. Anyone can tell when I can find them! Thanks!
Thanks Ludek!
No, we are not upgrading. We purchased V 9 simply because the application from which we want to produce reports is an old (classical) ASP app. We are looking at producing reports using CR and HTML Reports and let the user choose.
I forwarded your posting to the developer, and here is what he is saying:
"I actually used the HTML Viewer about 10 years ago when the CR version was 6. The converted HTML version was really ugly. Therefore, the vendor just removed the two files from their package for the newer version of CR application because nobody uses the HTML viewer today. Anyway, I guess we have no choice and have to write the HTML report from scratch. It is almost ready."
So, it looks like he is doing it from scratch, and is almost done.
Thanks very much for your assistance.

Spotlight/Finder Doesn't Search In ASP and other file types?
.asp and .c file types are nothing more than .txt files with different extentions..
Am I correct in thinking that Spotlight doesn't search inside these files? I have a folder full of asp files and spotlight doesn't seem to find anything when I type text that I know is inside one (as a test)
It does appear to search INSIDE .html files in the same folder.. Can you add different file extentions that spotlight will search into?
If not, then "Spotlight" is much ado about nothing as google desktop search, X1 and the msn desktop search (Windows) released years ago search inside ALL files..

Mac Pro 3Ghz / 4GB Ram Mac OS X (10.4.8) 30" Cinema Display + 20 " Cinema DisplaySpotlight makes a content index for files using mdimporter, and that process depends on mdimporter modules for the specific file type. Thus in /Library/Spotlight you will see a collection, such as Microsoft Office.mdimporter, of "extras" for special file types. There are also the built-in ones in /System/Library/Spotlight. If you installed Xcode/Developer Tools, there should be a SourceCode.mdimporter, which I imagine would index the asp and c files. If not, some people have modified it to also index php files, see this discussion:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050514182520714&query=spotlight%2 Bphp%2Bfiles
at MacOSXHints. I think you could do something similar (at your own risk of course) for other pure text based files. Be sure to expand the the replies and read them.

Need Help existing Crystal 8.5 to Ver.11 Install and SmartViewerActiveX.asp
How to get my reports working, required Install onto Server? Version Changes to Code?
Like other developers I am trying to reconfigure an existing solution / application that uses Crystal Reports 8.5 & RDC to call and display reports now moving to Crystal Reports XI =Ver.11. Here is an almost identical issue that I have used for the basis of my question.
Link: [ CRViewer - Crystal 8.5 VS. Crystal 11|http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1505100&page=6|From www.tek-tips.com]
Just like the linked site's questions for the reports, our ActiveX viewer is called from within the ASP code SmartViewerActiveX.asp from Ver 8.5, we now have Crystal Reports XI = Ver.11 Developer.
However I am not sure that the other site was clear with the procedure for deployment and setup and that's why I am seeking help with the Crystal Reports we have in our projects.
Do I install Crystal Reports XI Developer onto the Server to get the VIEWER?
What configuration is required so that the NEW Ver. 11 viewer works with 8.5?
What code changes are required to use a new Activex Viewer object?
I have legacy Crystal Reports solution using 8.5 and moving to Crystal Ver. 11. Need help with clear requirements for what is required and how to install the required components to the WEB SERVER / IIS Server. Using "Unmanaged" Reports with Crystal Dev. Edition Ver. 8.5 to Ver. 11. Currently 8.5 is not working I suspect due to the viewer not being installed to the server.
CODE LINE from my SmartViewerActiveX.asp in my IIS server.....
"/viewer9/activeXViewer/activexviewer.cab#Version=9,2,0,442"
I have not found a virtual folder reference to a folder that contains, /viewer9/activeXViewer/activexviewer.cab on the IIS server. Keep in mind this is a NEW server with many of the application solutions copied to it without complete migration steps and possibly missing installation steps such as Crystal Reports Developer CD Ver.11.
Below are the steps I had found at the LINK above, however I need validation if this is the correct steps and clarification of the steps. This will eventually be going onto a PRODUCTION server and I need to minimize the possibility of killing other apps and potentially the server. (Windows 2003 Server, with Mainly VISTA and Win 7 clients via IE. 8 to present version.)
From: (http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1505100&page=6)
NEED MORE DETAILS
1. Install CR11 developer to server
2. Setup Virtual Path within IIS for ActiveX component
C:\program files\common........\Busines objects\3.0\CrystalReportsViewers11\activexcontrols
3. Check registry to get classid for activex control
hkey_classes_root
Crystalreports.activexreportviewer
CLSID
CurVer
4. Change code to use new activex control page: Smartvieweractivex.asp
5. migrate reports from Crystal Reports 8.5 to 11
6. run application and open report using CR11 viewer
Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
EThanks for ALL your feedback!
Still not there yet with a solution or option from the last reply....
I tried to be as brief as possible, however it appears that there are MANY issues surrounding Crystal Reports in General let alone the versions and applications that had been developed and very little straight forward information on how to migrate/move and use existing applications on NEW servers (NOTE: Old CR 8.5 is running in a newer environment as it had been developed at the Company that had previously owned us.).
I am trying to get the application that is OLD re-deployed into a new company, with old data, old reports, just to make the existing solution work. Crystal Reports Ver. 11 was brought into the mix when a copy of Crystal 8.5 could not be purchased by our new company. Right after purchase of Ver.11, I was able to get the original 8.5 DEV CD and License from our old company.
Q: 1) "/viewer9/activeXViewer/activexviewer.cab#Version=9,2,0,442"
A: This is what is on the server that the Crystal Reports 8.5 solution is running on in the server environment that it currently is running and working in. PROBLEM.. The Our Comapny is no longer part of the other Company... They have theirs running without issue with Crystal 8.5 Reports, and the command line listed above on their IIS server... This is what was given to me to migrate into our NEW Company environment.
Q: 2) CR 11 is rather undefined... There is CR XI Release 1 (11.0)
A: APPEARS that I have CR XI Release 1 (11.0) - HELP ABOUT SHOWS 11.0.0.1282
Q: How do you get the app on your server? Use the RDC merge modules and create a setup or an MSI.
Not sure what, "...Use the RDC merge modules and create a setup or an MSI..." involves??
Why Can't I just install this using the CR Dev. CD.? The Product was purchased with 2 Licenses.
I also have the OLD Crystal Reports Developer Ver. 8.5 CD that could be used to re-deploy the viewers.
Q: Did you realize that the RDC is retired in CR 11.5?... ETC..
A: Yes, again why cant the existing solution of Crystal Reports 8.5 RPT files be used on the IIS server being called via Crystal Reports 8.5 Viewers... I have access to the original 8.5 CD,.. Again not sure how to deploy the VIEWERS part to the server..
Trying to get the simplest solution to have the existing 8.5 Reports, running from the IIS Web Server using the ActiveX viewer and URL Calls...
ALL HELP IS WELCOME!
Thanks

Problem with getting Dreamweaver CC to support ASP and ASPX
My company and our developers have been using Dreamweaver for more than 10 years and over that time have used DW to build an ASP and SQL server based system with a code base of over 200 programs and literally thousands of web pages in many, many currently active business websites. We subscribed to Creative Cloud upon upgrading our workstations to Wondows 8 but found to our consternation that DW CC does not support ASP or ASP.NET. We have followed instructions provided in this forum in June and attempted to edit the Extensions file to include ASP and ASPX, but either DW or Windows 8 refuses to allow the change to be saved, even with have Administrator access. What can we do now, apart from cancel our CC subscriptions?
Thanks Nithya.MV for your earlier response.
We have now found a solution at http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/change-add-recognized-file-extensions.html which applies to Dreamweaver CS6 but can be adapted to DW CC. The solution was:
1. Go to C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt
2. Open the file in say NotePad (visit Preferences first to turn off Read Only if necessary).
3. Add ASP, ASPX, to the front of the list of extensions in the first line.
4. Save the Extensions.txt file (then resent the file to Real Only in Preferences)
5. Close Dreamweaver CC if it's open.
6. (Re)start Dreamweaver CC and open the required .asp or .aspx file.
This worked a treat.
Unfortunately all the other intructions provided on the Support Forum had us looking in the wrong place at:

ASP and FTP commands to use CHMOD or similar to change folder
permissions before uploading a file via a web form?
Is there a script or commands that can do this?
Are there any other settings that is avaiable on a domain
that can make sure that the user has access even though the folders
are set to "0755"?
This is all from a web form in a controlled area with
Username and Password.
I know that this is possible in PHP with two systems:
suPHP (installed by hosts with a rewrite_module or ftp_module
not really sure) or
FTP modules (I write a script with this "$conn =
ftp_connect("$host");,blah blah...")
Any ideas unless you have something already?
CheersI found this code, apparently it can reset but not change it

I currently use ASP pages for my entire site. I have read on
SHTML that I can have SSI in a HTML file.
What are the major differences?
Should I just stay with ASP?
Thanks,
NateJust stay with ASP, and use SSI. In the case of ASP, the code
SSI would be
identical to HTML includes, and since the extension already
triggers a
server parsing, you are golden.

Trying to simply connect to Oracle with VBscript/ASP - and I cannot.
This is rather embarrassing. I am pretty fluent with ASP and VBscript, and I have written many a web application connecting to Microsoft SQL Server. Now I have a need to connect to an Oracle database, and I'm beating my head against the wall.
1) Web server is Windows Server 2003 SP1
2) Using ASP (not ASP.NET) & VBscript
3) I have installed the Oracle drivers on the server - it is version 10g
4) The administrator of the Oracle database to which I want to connect has created a username and password for me to use from within my code
5) Here is the code I am trying to run:
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.Open "Provider=MSDAORA;Data Source=XXXXXXX;User Id=YYYYYYY;Password=ZZZZZZZ;"
That's it. 2 lines of code just trying to establish a connection. Using the user name and password provided to me by the administrator, and for Data Source I am using the IP address of the Oracle server (like I have done in the past when connecting to SQL Server). I receive the following error message when viewing this in a browser:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle error '80004005'
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
Evidently, the Data Source I am using is not correct, but I was provided no other information from the admin. This is the first time any of us have tried to connect to Oracle using ASP/VBScript, so the administrator isn't sure what I need to do ... any help would be so appreciated.Hello,
I got mine to work by setting up an ODBC System DSN and connecting to it. I think this bypasses the Microsoft driver, which might be what's causing the problem.
Set Db = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Db.Open "DSN=TEST;User ID=userid;Password=password;"
Good luck, I've found it requires a lot of persistence...

Vertical Image Scroller with ASP and Database
A vertical image scroller where photos (thumbnails) can be
added or deleted with an app using asp and a database.
The scroller would be able to hold unlimited thumbnails. The
thumbnails
would also be buttons used to go to another frame or html
page.
The thumbnails start to scroll down when mouse rollovers top
half of
vertical thumbnail bar and scrolls up when mouse rollovers
bottom half of
bar. Slows and stops in the center of the bar.
Is this possible?Any idea on how to tackle this?
I have created a image scroller and I know how to create a
database and an
application to add records using asp.
But need help on creating a scroller that holds Unlimited
thumbnails in
Flash and adds the images to the thumbnail bar.

I am a novice at asp and have been working with an
administrator to build an asp form that submits an order to a
database. For illustration purposes, this form is allows a user to
make a purchase based on a certain amount of "dollars". When the
user accesses the form, the database should be displaying how many
"dollars" the user has left, so they know how much they have to
spend. My form is successfully accessing the database and updating
it based on the purchase, but I do not know the code or script
required to display the "dollars" currently available. Can someone
help me with this? Thanks so much!Right now I have it set up so it points to the same server.
Here are my settings:
Under the advanced tab-
Remote Info:
Access = FTP

Host directory = xxxxxxx
Login = xxxxxx

Server Model = ASP VBScript
Access = FTP
FTP host = xxxxxx
host directory = xxxxxxx
Login = xxxxx
Password = xxxxxx
On both accounts the ftp host and the host directory are the
same.
I don't receive any errors when I finish. Alos everything
tests correctly to the server. -
Vbscript / asp and DATEs in recordset query
I've been using dreamweaver for about 5 years now, and its all be mostly vbscript - classic asp based stuff.... mostly small scale stuff using MS Access db as backend datasource.
i've always had issues with using the recordset building dialogue window/box under server behaviors in terms of building a query using the 'advanced' tab/option and having a date field from my database (formatted like mm/dd/yyyy) used in the filtering of records... the text based queries are all a cinch and very easy to do, but for dates I always run into issues.
right now im simply trying to make sure all the returned records are AFTER the 'current date' - date() ...
and dw cs5 has this line added for the default value: RS_Events_cmd.Parameters.Append RS_Events_cmd.CreateParameter("param3", 135, 1, 1, RS_Events__MMColParam3) ' adDBTimeStamp
in my query im asking And EventDate > ? ---- basically, where the date of the record in the database is GREATER than or AFTER the current date or a user-defined variable for the date... the default is the current date though.
something tells me the problem is probably related to the 135,1,1 area of that string, but i dont know what to try... i've tried changing the last 1 to -1 and 0 but still same error "Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current operation." and it cites that same line of code i just mentioned.
i might add the database has the date field formatted correctly and im able to use hand-written code to query it just fine, but i know there has to be a way for dw to handle it so my code isnt 'tacked' on and making a mess of the dw routines.
anyone familiar with any of these issues as relates specifically to vbscript / asp and the use of date() in dw recordset queries?Hi,
<i>I need to use a date to calculate a key figure.</i>
Here you will use the formula variable with replacement path.
<i> Can I filter these null values at the query level.</i>
Yes, it is possible in query level.
For example, in the formula :
(0calday = '')* (do what ever you wan to do in case date is null) + (NOT (0calday = ''))* (do what ever you wan to do in case date is not null)

R: (forte-users) ASP and Forté
Hi Kenny,
I suggest you to use XML in order to publish your Forté services.
There is a Forté Library called HTTPDC that let you start up a listener that
answer to HTTP Request.
So you will have a ASP/Forté integration via HTTP/XML
Hope this helps.

Subject: (forte-users) ASP and Forté
Hi everybody!
I'm a new Forté developer, so i have some question about it, speciallyone:
I want to access Forté service objects through an ASP script. To be more
precise, I want to get back some informations (like, for exemple, the
information of a customer's account) from the Forté world and to make-upthe
web page in my ASP script.
Is it possible writing an ASP script (in VisualBasic for example) witch
calls Forté service objects?
How can I do that? Maybe by using Web Enterprise's libraries, but itseems
to me that Web access service objet returns only HTLM pages.
Any suggestions and explanations would be appreciated.
Thank's in advance for your replies,

I think PHP is easy to learn. I started with ASP, but ran
into so many
problems that I switched to PHP after about a year and never
looked
back. The fundamental principles are the same: use of
variables,
functions, strings, arrays, conditional control structures
(if, if...
else, switch). So you should find the change quite
straightforward. Yes,
things are different, but the underlying principles are the
same.
The main database used with PHP is MySQL. The basic SQL
syntax is the
same - it's an international standard. The two big
differences are that
MySQL is a Ferrari in comparison to Access's Ford, but it
doesn't come
with a glossy interface like Access. However, there are
several useful
front-end interfaces to MySQL, such as the free phpMyAdmin,
which most
hosting companies provide as standard with a PHP/MySQL setup.
ASP is obsolescent - Microsoft stopped development in favour
of ASP.NET
several years ago. PHP and MySQL are in much wider use than
classic ASP.
I would say that the real competition is now between ASP.NET
and PHP.
You can't use ASP.NET on a Mac, so PHP seems the obvious
route to go
unless you're prepared to switch back to Windows.
