I have a site which has a user login. The login has a remember me functionality which works correctly on my local machine, my local web server but does not persist the user login on a shared web server. I am using Forms Authentication and would appreciate any suggestions as to what could be causing this on the hosted server. Mark Costell Ireland

Can anyone tell me how to set the permissions on the ASP Net user account so that I can use the EXCEL or CSV ODBC driver to read from an excel file on a Windows 2003 server. I keep getting the error that I don't have permissions to read the file The code I use is shown below - it breaks on the ds.fill every time Dim conn As New Odbc.OdbcConnection conn.ConnectionString = "Driver={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};Dbq=" & _directory & ";Extensions=csv" conn.Open() Dim da As New Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter("select ship from output.csv ", conn) Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet da.Fill(ds) Thanks Mark

The File Info Class only gives a restricted set of Attributes - name, path, readonly etc. It does not access the summary values of a file - author comments etc. Any other thoughts? Mark Costello Dublin, Ireland

Can anyone help me accessing the summary data of file e.g. author, comments etc using ASP.NET (VB code behind) The FSO object only gives limited attribute information such as date created etc Mark Costello Dublin, Ireland

Thanks a million - works perfectly. Mark Costello

Hi I have been trying to build a progress bar for uploading files. Using the code at http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/File\_Upload\_Progress\_Bar.asp as a template, I built the following code. This seems to work perfectly until you look at the uploaded file which is missing some data. E.g. a file that has a File Size of 81,392 and a Size on Disk of 81,920, when uploaded has a file size of 77,824 and a size on disk of 77,824. Any ideas gratefully accepted or I'll have no hair left soon..... *******************Class****************************** Public Class UploadThread Private _bytesRead As Long Private _tID As Thread Private _filename As String Private _stream As Stream Private _uploaded As Boolean Private _exception As Exception #Region "Constructors" Public Sub New() End Sub 'New #End Region Public Property BytesRead() As Long ' How many bytes has been uploaded.
