I have been able to create the folder with the global asa on session start but on end
the folder is not being deleted here is the code i am using. Ps i am using the fdf
toolkit from acrobat to create my pdf's and I use a save button to download them. The
only trouble is that when i try to overwrite the created pdf the server is getting an
error (file already exists). What i am going to try is in the submit page i am going
to delete the created pdf before it overwrites then create a new one each time instead.
Sub Session_OnStart
Dim fldName
fldName = (Session.SessionID)
dim fs,f
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set f=fs.CreateFolder("C:\Myserverfileroot\my serverWebRoot\Temp\" & fldName )
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Dim fldName
fldName = (Session.SessionID)
dim fs,f
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set f=fs.GetFile("C:\Myserverfileroot\my serverWebRoot\Temp\" & fldName )
f.Delete
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
End Sub
What i think is happening is onEnd it is not able to grab the session ID(Some how i
need to tell it wich session id to close just not sure how).

Hi,
w.r.t your 1st question, use the fso for creating a
folder where the pdf can be stored. The way you will
be creating the folder, in the same way you can delete
the folder plus the files. The code should look
something like this:
<code>
Dim fso
Dim File
Dim FileSys
Set fso = Server.CreateObject
("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim var
var = URL
Session("URL") = URL
File = Server.MapPath(var)
Set FileSys = fso.CreateTextFile(File,true)
</code>
pass the URL, or the folder name plus the file name to
be created in the var URL.
Use DeleteTextFile to delete the folder and files.
HTH,
Parul
Question 1:
I have a bunch of forms when a user submits it
creates a pdf of the form. I was wondering if it is
possible to create a temp folder of some kind on a
2003 server that will house these temporary pdfs so
that when the user closes the session with the server
this temp folder with (lets 6 or 7 pdf in it) would be
deleted from the server?
Question 2:
Will the pdf be able to overwrite them selves if the
user changes data on the on the page that gives them
the submitted results when they re submit the changed
form. The pdf's are named from one of the fields that
are mandatory on the forms. If that field is changed
the the pdf would be renamed and overwrite would not
be an issue.
example scenario:
there's a form with :
Firstname: = Joe
Lastname: = Jojomojo
username: = pdfmisery
password: = pdfisconfusing
account number: = 1234
user submits this form
the pdf is called 1234.pdf and saved to temp folder.
this form shows user what he submitted
Firstname: = Joe
Lastname: = Jojomojo
username: = pdfmisery
password: = pdfisconfusing
account number: = 1234
user changes Firstname to Joey
Firstname: = Joey
Lastname: = Jojomojo
username: = pdfmisery
password: = pdfisconfusing
account number: = 1234
user re submits form
database is updated
pdf is overwriten(as 1234.pdf) and saved to temp
folder with new info in it so the user can download
it.
user closes browser
in five minutes of no actions with server the server
ends the session and destroys the temp folder with
those pdf's inside. Is this possible and if so could
someone post some sample code to create the folder and
destroy it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And
thanks in advance for eventaking the time out of your
day to even read this.(If possible I would like the
global.asa to be doing this)
