Hello
I have a page that mails my customers and it times out...... I need some way
to store it as .vbs and just kickstart it from my asp-page so it'll run in
background.
could you guys show me some code on how to do that? I dont have
visual-studio or anything like that so it's got to be "simple" without any
additional com+ programming or anything like that.
TIA

How about this. Have a scheduled task in windows, that checks a database
every five minutes. If a flag says 1, run the VBS script and set the flag
to 0.
Then, you can kickstart it by hitting an ASP page that connects to the same
database and sets the flag to 1.

Yes, have a look at the WScript documentation at msdn.microsoft. com. You
can also store such parameters in the database when you switch the flag...
that way you have a record of which parameters were used the last time the
VBS script was called.

Why not store CategoryID in the table, then when you set the flag and the
VBS file wakes up, it grabs the categoryID from the database?
what's the basic code to schedule a script to run now?
I don't know what you mean. Either you call the script directly (however,
there are reasons I recommend not doing this: http://www.aspfaq.com/2059),
or you have windows scheduler run every 5 minutes, or every minute, and
check if it should execute the script.
and do i pass it like myscript.vbs categoryid=34 ?
From the command line, you would call it like this:
wscript c:\file.vbs 34
Then in the VBS file, you would say something like categoryID =
wscript.argumen ts[0] ... I forget the exact syntax, as I suggested before,
if you really want to go this route, see the documentation at
msdn.microsoft. com. Personally, I think you have your head wrapped around
the ASP framework and you should really look at this from a windows
perspective.

Aaron,
actually user select's category from a list on an asp-page and types his
message he wants to send, now i need to find some way to pass that subject,
body, sender and the selected categoryid to the script.
or a better way....... if its possible to add a job in sql 2002 that looks
something like:
EXEC MyMailProc @CategoryID=34, @Subject='adsf
asdf',@Body='Ns adfasdf',@Se*** **********@adfs .com'
?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND... WHY CAN'T YOU STORE THIS DATA IN THE DATABASE? Why is
your head stuck on passing them as parameters?
Then you can have multiple rows and have the script execute once for each
row. Then you don't have to worry about a second user calling the script
before the first one runs.
