Wierd issue with XP Home / XP Pro - ASP / Active Server Pages

vool

Hi all,

I've got a really wierd problem here.

When I access a web page that adds information to a database on a PC running
XP Pro it works as it should.

When I access the same page from a PC running XP Home I get a ' Internal
server error - page cannot be dispalyed' message.

I've tried it on 5 PC's running XP Pro & 5 running XP Home - same result.

ASP code is:

<%@LANGUAGE="VB SCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252" %>

<%
dim conn2,sql2
set conn2 = server.createob ject ("ADODB.connect ion")
conn2.Provider= "Microsoft.Jet. OLEDB.4.0"
conn2.Open(Serv er.Mappath("dat 48372.mdb"))

sql2="INSERT INTO Tracker (qReferer, qLocAdd, qRemAdd, qUAgent)"
sql2=sql2 & " VALUES "
sql2=sql2 & "('" & request.serverv ariables("HTTP_ REFERER") & "',"
sql2=sql2 & "'" & request.serverv ariables("LOCAL _ADDR") & "',"
sql2=sql2 & "'" & request.serverv ariables("REMOT E_ADDR") & "',"
sql2=sql2 & "'" & request.serverv ariables("HTTP_ USER_AGENT") & "')"

conn2.Execute sql2
conn2.close
set conn2 = Nothing
%>

Can anyone help pls.

Thanks in advance

Unlurking for a moment to suggest that, if I understand you right,
the problem is that XP Home does not support IIS.

I Removed 'local_address' and 'http_user_agen t' and it works
fine. For some reason PCs running xp home won't give out this
info and causes an error!

The user agent string has nothing whatsoever to do with the OS. It is sent
by the web browser. Certainly Mozilla running on XP Home would send a user
agent string.

That said, my guess is that there's some unhandled problem with
concatenation -- perhaps the machines in question have single-quote
characters in the UA strings, for example (you can add anything you like to
the string by adding a String Value to the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Mi crosoft\Windows \CurrentVersion \Internet
Settings\User Agent\Post Platform).

What does this page report for your XP Home machines?

Wierd issue with listbox and Begin...Endupdate

OK, here's a wierd one... I have a listbox, which I fill with strings (in my case, file names). I normally load this via a loop, adding each item to the list box in the loop.

Here's the wierd part: If there is only ONE line loaded into the list box, the list box SHOWS UP AS BLANK! It says there is 1 item in the box, but it never shows up on...

These combos were originally simple drop down lists - i.e. you had to select from the list and couldn't enter anything of your own. At that time everything worked fine. Now, the users...
