Why do you need to be in dos to run spinrite? This does not sound right. You will never be able to see a NTFS drive from dos unless you use something like NTFSDos http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/NtfsDos.html. Your zip drive needs usb drivers loaded in order to be recognized

yes, sounds like some type of firewall/router issue. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=319108 http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBK/tip5100/rh5182.htm http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314076/EN-US/

EDIT: changed. didnt understand at firet. Think you want "text1.text.tostring" to return string value from textbox

>>thanks for the info, I changed my host to another one http://www.100webspace.com/ 100webspace looks much more complete than 95mb. That is what you need >>I will try XAMPP and tell you the results Yes, let me know how you do with xampp. It is pretty easy to use. Just put the folder with your html/php files in a folder under "htdocs" (ex. c:\xampp\htdocs\mamoun\mypage.php). Start apache and mysql with control panel. Then in browser go to "http://localhost/mamoun/mypage.php" to see served page. You really need to read the docs and google to learn MySQL. >>thanks again for being patient to a newbie like me biggrin.gif no problem, we all need some help getting started. I am driving my accountant crazy with questions about quickbooks, yuck. not to get all touchy-feely, but it is a shame that the rest of the world can't get along as well as people on MSFN

I was going to comment on this but I forgot what I was going to say.

Your free host does not have db support. If you want to learn you should download XAMPP it is Apache web server, PHP and MtSQL db. It is very simple to install, just unzip and run! you can run this on your computer until you learn how to work with PHP/MySQL, then find a new host that has db support. EDIT: apparently you do not have PHP either... http://webmastercool.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1750

OK, this is a blatent plug for my latest favorite code. Anyone doing 3-tier database apps (you know, db layer, business rules layer, user interface) and wants true cross platform capabilities should try DABO. DABO is an application framework built with Python and the wxPython graphical user control set. Python is a free, powerful, easy to learn object orient language. Applications built with Python on the DABO framework can run unaltered on Windows, Linux, Unix, BSD, Mac and anything else that implements Python and wxWidgets. The DABO application wizard and framework takes care of 80% of the development work for you. Basically the only place you need to add code is in the business tier to handle the specifics of the application, and some minor interface tweaking. The database access is all handled through the abstracted DB layer that hardly needs to be touched. Currently DABO supports MySQL, but other DB adaptors are in progress. If you are looking to do cross-platform db apps and don't care much for Java give DABO a try!

Yes, you are on the right track. Sorry I didn't realize you were talking about remote connections. You need to read "Virtual Private Network" in windows help, that is what you want to do. You will need to set up your computer at work to "accept incoming connections", then set up the remote computer to "connect to the network at my workplace" EDIT: BTW, "Server Side" in the forum title means "web servers", not network servers. this post really belongs here... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=21

Mamoun, You cannot "make" a database in DW. You are only using DW as an editor for PHP. PHP is used to get data in and out of a database and process the input or results, but it is not where you store your data. If you want to do this you will need a host that offers some type of database support (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc). What host site are you using?

How many computers on your network? You do not need static ip or domain to share files on a small network. Just connect them to the network and follow directions in windows help "share a drive or folder on network"

You might look at Digital Dolly by innotrix. It is free for personal use, not sure about academic. http://www.innotrix.com/

object.CopyFile ( source, destination[, overwrite] ) ex. fso.CopyFile "c:\mydir\new.ini", "c:\mydir\old.ini\",TRUE

check this thread. you should be able to mod this vbs to find and change any value... http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=48322&hl=

Never heard of it before now, but sounds interesting. basically using db of past results to make decision on present case. This article explains it pretty well... http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/links/cbr.html

I think thats part of the same mysterious force that makes working code exhibit bugs as soon as you show it to someone else.

From monad.rtf documant: I think you may be missing the point that monad is also scriptable.

I tried this with my host and could not connect either. I am thinking that the MySQL DB at host is set up to only accept local connections. I sent email to my host co to ask.

did you try just leaving it "localhost". If your mysql and web server are on same machine it will work. My hosting (globedomain, apache shared server) is like this. EDIT: sorry, that no good. I see what you are doing now. You want to connect direct to the remote db from your desktop app, not php on your server, right?

re run ad-aware, spybot s&d and AV and then post your hijackthis log again. you probably still have crumbs.

You are correct, simple is better. And look at Google. People laughed at their page with one textbox, when excite, lycos, altavista, etc. were covered with features and candy. We see who is laughing on that one now

Aurora is associated with "NAIL.EXE". Believe it or not, as pernicious as this software is, the company behind it actually offers an uninstaller. If only they would avertise that in their popups! http://www.mypctuneup.com/

Nobody will "hack" on you here, there are other forums for that. We just glad you back up and running.

get the latest, v1.2
