I cannot help you with the LPT port but I couldn't help but notice that you want to get the PC to repond very quickly to an external event - I am concerned this may be a problem for you. The operating system on the PC means that if it is busy doing something else your thread may not get any processor time for several ms. I have written an application that tried to take samples every 100ms and it was very tricky. I could get it to be accurate most of the time, but not ALL the time. You will need to give your thread the highest priority. If you cannot even wait 1ms for the PC to respond you may have a problem - you may want to reconsider your system design / external hardware since the PC operating system is not really suitable for real time applications. Best of Luck, :) Ali

I have used this code in my project for diduction of CPU uses.. it is working fine at my end. if you dont want to use Sleep() then remove it & add WaitForSingleObject() as shown in given sample. try it....i hope it will work... while(1) { HANDLE hThread; hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthread(CallchildFunction,0,NULL); WaitForSingleObject(hThread, INFINITE); ::Sleep(500); } :| Rahul Vaishnav

Do you mean change the locale / default date format from, say dd/mm/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy ? You can't - you cannot change a person's server settings from an asp application, thank god! Imagine if every asp application you ran changed your computer's settings! You wouldn't know where you stood from one minute to the next, let alone the damage that could cause. You can format the datetime values within an application using the VBScript FormatDateTime function (classic ASP) or the ToString function in .NET Fred

Very nice :cool: Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy

Thanks for your reply. I would like to clarify that the first application is mine and I write it but the second application that I need to call is not mine, it is any other existing application...

That's great! Thanks all of you!

>I can redirect user to another page after processing, but cannot with earlier browser version. What older browser is this and how are you attempting to redirect?

you are welcome TPN. There is no spoon. mail

Perhaps you could use NTFS permissions to lock everyone but the ASP process from viewing the files. Otherwise, you could try a tool like Stunnix Obfuscator. my blog

It could be that your connection times out before it can connect to the SQL Server. Try a larger setting.

You might find this article useful, which I stumbled across while looking for something else: Translating Procedural Statements between Oracle and SQL Server[^].

What browsers do you want to support? Anything after Netscape 3.0 and IE3.0 will support style="width:100%" relatively well. You want to avoid putting style in your HTML document anyway. Rather use an external CSS file. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Marc Clifton wrote: "organically fed captivity free regurgitated bee nectar" (honey) on dieting.

It sounds like your first conditional is falling through to the last case. Have you tried running it with conditions you know will always be false? It looks like it should work.... Have you answered an MTQ? Check out the stats!

so if I understand this correctly, there are multiple web servers in multiple locations. firstly, if you are hosting a server on an unreliable leased line circuit, and POSTING some semi-critical data to it, then what do you expect to happen IF you get your form posting to multiple locations BUT one of those locations is down? Seems to me that you app falls flat right there. Why not go this route...... is there any one server that is not on a leasedline? IE, Fully reliable? If so, when the form posts and you create your "session" file, create the file on the reliable server, say, as an XML file.... Then, reference this file from your "slave" servers when checking "session".. These servers would check the "session" using something like this... set objHttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP") objHttp.open "GET", "http://www.cdsgrants.com/Content/user.txt", false objHttp.Send "" if objHttp.status <> "200" then Response.write "File Not Retrieved " & sResponse Else Response.Write objHTTP.ResponseTEXT & " " end if set objHttp = nothing

I can call another page at client-side but not from server-side. All that I want is calling (or another way) from server-side. If you know, please show me in details.

Thanks Tony very much.
