Re: cffile error
Weird, I'm getting the same error when I ran out of ram or restart the cf-server (while trying to view a .cfm file), maybe the file you are uploading is very big? try uploading a simple 10Kb TXT file, see what happens. also - try changing upload2.cfm to include only 1 task (file upload OR db insert) this way you can figure out what is maxing the server (or generating this unique error). make sure you have enough space on h:\ and that you have write/modify rights on this directory - as the best practice, I suggest again to upload a 10kb txt file to c:\cfusion or somewhere easier.

RE: Update Statement
Not sure why you would want to do this. It wouldn't make sense in any db I've ever come across. If there should be a match between primary keys, then should there not be a value of pdfid in table2 to match the orderno you want to use to set the value in table1? Is it not also possible that it might already exist in table1? If this is part of a working system I would think a bit more about your db structure. If it's just a one off then, depends what db you are doing it in. In access you could do it like this UPDATE Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.pdfid = Table2.pdifd SET Table1.pdfid = [orderno]; In sql server you would need to create aview first create view doupdate as select table1.pdfid, table2.orderno from table1, table2 where table1.pdfid=table2.pdfid) Then you can do an update on it as if it was a table update doupdate set pdfid=orderno Not sure how you'd do it in Oracle -Original Message- From: David Clay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 July 2001 23:54 To: CF-Talk Subject: Update Statement Need help updating table1 PDFID value with table2 orderno value where primary key in table1 equals primary key in table2. table1 primarykey=PDFID field=country Table2 primarykey=PDFID field=orderno Any help with the SQL statement or CF code would be appreciated.

Re: MSXML, XML, outputting attributes?
Just a note, try to avoid using // in xpath - its has serious performance problem potential. Its essentially saying, scan the whole DOM and look for any 'book' nodes. I don't think that this is what you want. In your real code, you are already in the Service_Availability node, so you don't need to use //Offer_ID Just use Offer_ID, as its a direct child node of the Service Availability. This will prevent the parser from starting at the top of the DOM again. Also, on my MSXML 3 SP1, if you use //Offer_ID for the xpath statement, I always get the first offer_id, which makes sense, since it matches the first one it finds in the DOM, every time. So, the bit of code would be: cfscript i=i+1; nodeOffer_Id = service.selectSingleNode(Offer_Id); Offer_Id = nodeOffer_Id.text; Offer_Code = nodeOffer_Id.getAttribute(Offer_Code); /cfscript Merging in the previous suggestion: cfscript i=i+1; nodeOffer_Id = service.selectSingleNode(Offer_Id/@Offer_Code); Offer_Code = nodeOffer_Id.text; /cfscript Carl wrote: Thanks, Brett!

SOT: Regex?
Hi all, Sorry for this slightly off topic post - I have exceedingly stupid (and cheap) clients and need to know if this is possible. This client has created a huge site himself, incorporating gallery pages with hundreds of images, both thumnails and high quality versions. Considering everything, he hasn't done too bad a job - it looks fairly good. Except the image files are named in a variety of ways - uppercase, lowercase and mixed case - and the links to the images do not necessarily match up with the image filenames with regard to case. This is going to be deployed on a linux box, so that is obviously not going to work. Rather than cross-check each filename with the links, I am going to use a utility to rename all the image files with all lower case. That's no problem. What I am not sure about how to do is this: I want to use extended find and replace in Studio to convert everything to lower case that is inside a tag. Is this even possible? Not being a regex guru, I'm hoping it is, because manually editing links in about 500 files does not sound like my idea of a fun Wednesday afternoon, and something I'm sure the client does not want to pay for. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it! K. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

So, the bit of code would be: cfscript i=i+1; nodeOffer_Id = service.selectSingleNode(Offer_Id); Offer_Id = nodeOffer_Id.text; Offer_Code = nodeOffer_Id.getAttribute(Offer_Code); /cfscript Merging in the previous suggestion: cfscript i=i+1; nodeOffer_Id = service.selectSingleNode(Offer_Id/@Offer_Code); Offer_Code = nodeOffer_Id.text; /cfscript Carl wrote: Thanks, Brett!

Re: cfloop and group
Bryan Love wrote: wow. First of all it looks like you've forgotten to use #innerloop# anywhere in your code. The query is hard-coded to use [1] and [2] from the second dimension of your array. Perhaps each item in the first dimension contains a sub-array of only two items (documentID and headingID). If this is the case then why are you looping over the second dimension? This would cause the exact same query to be run twice, outputting the same single record each time. If this is the case then just eliminate the inner CFLOOP and remove GROUP= from the CFOUTPUT. The innerloop was a leftover from the code in Chapter 9 of the Developing Web Applications with ColdFusion book. Where I hard coded the 1 and 2 had been where innerloop would've been. I knew that column 1 was headingids and column 2 was docids, but I needed to loop through all the pairs of ids to find and output the actual names of documents and headings. I took the innerloop and group out and got the same result was before. Secondly, putting a query inside a double nested loop is not a very good idea. CFOUTPUT was given a GROUP attribute to avoid this kind of situation; it's just a matter of learning to use it correctly. It looks like you are basically trying to print the collection of documents stored in the original array. The only reason the query is inside the loop is so I can refer to the elements inside the array in my query. I'm not trying to use cfloop to group it, just use it to retreive the ids for the array so the query can use them to get the names (and other associated information). I don't know how else to retreive the information in the array without looping. a query like this would be much more efficient: SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE document.documentid IN (...docID list...) AND headingid IN (...headingID list...) AND (join document and heading somehow here so ensure the proper records are related to each other) and document.nameno=articlenames.nameno and document.documentid=article.documentid order by headingname, articlename Then you can use the GROUP attribute in your CFOUTPUT to control the output FYI: GROUPs can be nested... cfoutput query=myQuery group=group1 cfoutput group=group2 cfoutput That last AND (join document and heading somehow here so ensure the proper records are related to each other) is the problem. I can't figure out how to do it without cfloop. The two columns of the array were originally 2 query-driven lists that I converted into an array. So I thought I'd use listgetat to synchronize the position in the lists, but that would require using a loop to go through the lists. Any ideas on how to sync the lists without looping? Thanks!

RE: Help needed with CFCONTENT
Jochem Thanks for your suggestions so far. I like to shoot the web browser developers, tho not the customer :o) But I think I have not explained very well, or am not understanding. I am on an NT 4.0/SP6a server, using ColdFusion 4.5.1.(hopefully to upgrade to 5.0 soon) When I add the filename, CFCONTENT is looking for the file to already exist, which it does not, the user will be creating it at the time of viewing, saving it on their drive. Maybe I am doing something else wrong. here is a simple look at the process. User is given options to create the graph from, this information is then sent to a custom tag CF_graph (I down loaded from tag gallery, uses tables to build bar graphs). on the action page I place the call to the CF_graph tag, with CFCONTENT at the top of page: !--page comments--- CFcontent type=application/vnd.ms-powerpoint CF_graph attributes=#vals# with your suggestions looks like: !---page comments cfheader name=Content-disposition value=attachment;filename=#filename# cfcontent type=application/octet-stream file=#filename# !---I also added the relocation back CFlocation url=previouspage.cfm and as I said, when user chooses to save file, this works fine a PowerPoint file is saved that can be later view in PowerPoint, but when the user chooses to open from present location, it displays fine, just errors when user moves or clicks on scroll bar. I don't need it to display here, just save as a file, if there is another way to get this graph saved as a PowerPoint slide I could use that. I also do the same for creating Excel spreadsheets and Word Docs. I have no problems with them.

Turn off double-spacing on rds xfer
Short version: Does anyone know where the setting is in CF Studio 4.5 for preventing my files (that are transfered via RDS) from being converted to double-spacing (the lines of code?) Long version? When I first loaded CF Studio 4.5 about a year ago, all was fine. But the last 4 months, when I xfer my single-spaced .cfm source code file from our development server (a Sun UNIX box) to our staging server (also a Sun UNIX box), the files end up double-spaced. I have to open the file on the staging server, remove double-spacing, and resave it to rid it of the every-other (blank) line. I thought this had to do with the OptionsSettings... and selecting File Settings where you can specify Unix file types. But mine is already set to Unix.

Need db advice
Hey all, Need some advice here. I have an app that functions somewhat like an old library card catalog index. It allows users to input market studies with an abstract, as well as the location of the material. The customer (our marketing dept.) wants a reference number to be generated in the format of Continent/CompanySite/SequenceNumber so that when records are listed, the users can easily scan the reference numbers and see where the item is located (for example, a reference number of NA/ABH/21 would indicate that the document is located in Auburn Hills (North America). The 21 is simply the next sequence number from the Oracle DB. Okay, great. Now, when a user inputs a study they have to indicate the continent and the site. No problem. I use Nate's TwoSelectsRelated to populate the site list based on the continent selected. Buuut...if a site isn't listed in the picklist, we need to allow the user to add a new site. Okay, no problem. Buuut...here's the problem--our company has acronyms for each site, all over the world. So Auburn Hills might be ABH, Windsor might be WDR, etc. Because the reference numbers need to include the acronyms, those obviously need to be stored in the database. But, if we allow users to add their own locations, we run into the problem of users either A) using the wrong location acronym, or B) typing duplicate site names into the db. It would be nice if there was one central place where I could find all of the correct acronyms, but unfortunately, they aren't always standard. I thought of using just a numbering schema, but this does not prevent one person from adding location Auburn Hills and another from adding Aubern Hils. I'm a little stuck.

Problem calling Oracle stored procedures (PL/SQL functions) by using CFSTOREDPROC
Hello folks, I'm trying to call an Oracle stored procedure (a PL/SQL function) from ColdFusion using CFSTOREDPROC and have been unable to do so. When I call the function, I get the following error: Oracle Error Code = 6550 ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00221: 'FSELECTSTATE' is not a procedure or is undefined ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored SQL = TestBed.fSelectState I have created a procedure similar to the function, saving that it does not return a value to the caller. Using that procedure with CFSTOREDPROC succeeds. Questions: 1) Does ColdFusion not support accessing Oracle stored *functions* using CFSTOREDPROC, only *procedures*? (I normally think of PL/SQL functions as a subset of Oracle stored procedures, which is why I'm asking about the distinction.) If it does, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing incorrectly? If it does not, then on to question #2: 2) I know that I can access Oracle stored functions using CFQUERY (because I've done it before), when they (a) take one argument and (b) return a value. However, the function in question returns a reference cursor as well as a function value, so does anyone have an idea as to the syntax required to access a reference cursor returned by a function using the CFQUERY tag, if it can be done at all (my own attempts having miserably failed)? I've appended the package spec code that I'm using as well as the CFSTOREDPROC statements for them below. The system we're using for ColdFusion is an NT 4.0 Server running CF 4.5.1 SP2, with the native Oracle 8i driver. Thanks again in advance, and Regards, Joel Parramore P.S. --- In the ColdFusion 4.0 Web Application Construction Kit, by Ben Forta, he states (page 474 of the third edition) that Oracle stored functions are not supported by the CFSTOREDPROC tag. He also states that you can't use the CFPROCRESULT tag with Oracle, either, However, I know that you can use CFPROCRESULT in CF 4.5 and above, so, presumably, these are limitations of 4.0. If someone from Allaire/Macromedia would care to clarify the situation vis-a-vis CFSTOREDPROC and Oracle stored functions, that'd be great. = PL/SQL spec code: CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE TestBed AS TYPE GenericCursorType IS REF CURSOR; PROCEDURE SelectStates (inStateAbbrev IN VARCHAR2, qSelectStatesList OUT GenericCursorType); PROCEDURE SelectState (inStateAbbrev IN VARCHAR2, outStateName OUT VARCHAR2); FUNCTION fSelectState (inStateAbbrev IN VARCHAR2, outStateName OUT VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2; FUNCTION fSelectStates (inStateAbbrev IN VARCHAR2, qSelectStatesList OUT GenericCursorType) RETURN VARCHAR2; END TestBed; / Example 1: No reference cursor returned !--- Select Abreviations, States --- CFSET StateAbbrev = FL *** SUCCEEDS *** CFSTOREDPROC PROCEDURE=TestBed.SelectState DATASOURCE=HomesCom RETURNCODE=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=In CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_VARCHAR DBVARNAME=inStateAbbrev VALUE=#StateAbbrev# NULL=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=Out CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_VARCHAR DBVARNAME=outStateName VARIABLE=CF_StateName NULL=No /CFSTOREDPROC *** FAILS *** CFSTOREDPROC PROCEDURE=TestBed.fSelectState DATASOURCE=HomesCom DEBUG=Yes RETURNCODE=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=In CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_VARCHAR DBVARNAME=inStateAbbrev VALUE=#StateAbbrev# NULL=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=Out CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_VARCHAR DBVARNAME=outStateName VARIABLE=CF_StateName NULL=No /CFSTOREDPROC Example 2: Reference cursor returned *** SUCCEEDS *** CFSTOREDPROC PROCEDURE=TestBed.SelectStates DATASOURCE=HomesCom RETURNCODE=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=In CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_VARCHAR DBVARNAME=inStateAbbrev VALUE=#StateAbbrev# NULL=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=Out CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_REFCURSOR DBVARNAME=qSelectStatesList VARIABLE=CF_qSelectStatesList NULL=No CFPROCRESULT NAME=qSelectStatesList /CFSTOREDPROC *** FAILS *** CFSTOREDPROC PROCEDURE=TestBed.fSelectStates DATASOURCE=HomesCom RETURNCODE=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=In CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_VARCHAR DBVARNAME=inStateAbbrev VALUE=#StateAbbrev# NULL=No CFPROCPARAM TYPE=Out CFSQLTYPE=CF_SQL_REFCURSOR DBVARNAME=qSelectStatesList VARIABLE=CF_qSelectStatesList NULL=No CFPROCRESULT NAME=qSelectStatesList /CFSTOREDPROC ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Text Field Size Limits?
Hi, I'm wondering about size limitations on text fields and/or memo fields. We are using Access to create our table and I was using a text field that I believe limited me to about 255 characters. The boss wanted more so I changed it to a memo field but it seem that the data is still truncating after about 400 or so characters. I am using textarea to populate the field but I don't think the textarea tag is truncating. It seem to truncate during insert into the table. Any info/help would be appreciated.

But the last 4 months, when I xfer my single-spaced .cfm source code file from our development server (a Sun UNIX box) to our staging server (also a Sun UNIX box), the files end up double-spaced. I have to open the file on the staging server, remove double-spacing, and resave it to rid it of the every-other (blank) line.

Example: From: John Doe Opposed to From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? btw I understand that the mail still must come from an email address, just wondering if maybe I could add some sort of header for the human name part Thanks in advance, Jeff ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: Form builder software
scan into Omniform 4.0 Edit/tweak the OCR results will automatically recognize MOST paperform fields and assigna generic name. from OmniForm - File save as PDF Open the pdf form in full version of Adobe acrobat and edit form fields names/formatting This is now your online form/template. Use www.activepdf.com's toolkit to pipe data via CF into these form templates, or you can use the Adobe Acrobat FDF activex or java toolkit.

My client has a bunch of paper forms and documents that he wants to use online. I've tried creating these in html but the lack of formatting and print control is causing some problems. Not to mention the huge amount of time it's taking. Does anybody know of a better way to create these forms online. I need them to be able to except input from a database to populate the fields in the form and to be manually updateable online. I found one product that may work, it's called Liquid Forms and converts the forms to editable pdf versions. Any other solutions out there you guys can recommend?
