Although re-reading the original post, the method I described wouldn't work for Laaitie anyway. Oops. Jonathan tektips@jonathangeorge.co.uk

True - a misstyping on my part. Laaitie (who started the thread) wanted stuff in the Sent Items folder. The method I described would place the message in the Outbox from where it would be sent. It would also place a copy in Sent Items, in the same way as happens when an email is sent manually...

If you connect to Outlook, then create a new email and send it using the various objects, then a copy will be saved in the Outbox in the normal way. So use the CreateItem method of the Outlook.Application object, specify the type as olMailItem. This will return a MailItem object, you can then...

I'm trying to use a DLL written in Delphi. Both of the functions in the DLL return a Delphi PChar, which is essentially a null terminated string. When I call the functions, the strings get passed in OK but the return values don't work correctly - one of the functions returns garbage and the...

Is there any way, given a users NT logon ID, to obtain their full name? I've looked through the Win 32 API reference, but nothing leapt out at me... does anyone know how to do it? Thanks Jonathan jon_george1@hotmail.com Working against: Visual Basic, Access, Visual Interdev, VBScript...

Hi, I am trying to get Crystal Reports to use an Access 2000 database with user level security. As far as I can gather from the web site, there is a registry setting that you must set to point at the workgroup information file. However, I don't want to tie crystal to a single mdw file on each...

Is it possible to change the foreground colour of a disabled SELECT dropdown? I have tried everything I can think of, and it still appears as grey text (although I can make the background colour anything I like). As a result, my form looks a bit rubbish. Please help! Jonathan...

Troy, We never found the exact cause of the error, but by changing to the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle (from the Microsoft OLEDB Driver for Oracle), we managed to make it go away. We also tried the Oracle OLEDB Driver, without much luck. It seems a bit of a shame to be forced to use the...

Hi, I am getting an "Unspecified Error" message back from my MTS objects when I call them and I can't work out why. The exact setup that causes the problem is as follows: ASP page written in VBScript doing the initial call MTS Components written in Delphi. Database is Oracle 8.1...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this. I understood that document.write is for writing new content to a page, rather than setting the value of a variable in that page. And I still can't work out how to call a function in the new page from the original page when they are both open in...

I am writing some pages using Javascript as my main scripting language. The pages are for an intranet, so I know that all users will have IE5.5. What I'm trying to do is find out a way of calling a function defined in one page in another. My script on page A opens page B in a separate window...

Instead of this line: xmlDoc.loadXML(http.responseXML)???? try xmlDoc = http.responseXML Hope this helps. Jonathan j.w.george@virginnet.co.uk Working against: Visual Basic 6, Access 97, Visual Interdev 6, VBScript, JavaScript, Active Server Pages, SQL Server, Oracle 7, XML

Found it - its the BITAND function Jonathan j.w.george@virginnet.co.uk Working against: Visual Basic 6, Access 97, Visual Interdev 6, VBScript, JavaScript, Active Server Pages, SQL Server, Oracle 7, XML

This seems to me like it should be obvious, but I haven't been able to find out how to do it. In languages such as VB, VC++, Javascript, it is possible to do "bitwise comparison" on two numbers using AND, OR, etc. For example, 10 AND 2 would equal 2, since: 10 = binary 1010 2 =...

I've set up some menubars on my web page which work by showing and concealing absolutely positioned DIV blocks. The problem I'm having with this is that some of my pages contain form elements (text boxes, drop down lists, etc) and these always end up in front of the menu blocks when they appear...
