But... to reform the hierachical structure, you need to search for parent for all child message! This sounds like an exponential problem is this not?
Only if you don't put an index on the ParentID field. Indexed properly the entire thing should be almost as fast as getting all the messages for a thread and sequencing them manually, maybe slightly quicker.
Either way, in something like Access, you're going to start having problems at around 2000-3000 messages. In SQL Server/MSDE, it should go on fine for a long time.

How do they do it in a real forum message board?
What is a "real" forum message board? I've had message boards work fine this way, using ASP. I'm sure you'll find that each message board works slightly differently from another.

I have started implementing it. I think you are right. Loading the tree control with only a subset of the forum - msg belong to the same thread - should not be a problem at all.
By the way, I used SQL server NewID() function to add "uniqueidentifier" for MsgID column - Do you think it's a wise decision?
THanks.

Hi,
I am using CDONTS to allow customers to send web mail. How do you get the message body to recognise new lines when the user types "Enter."
For example, suppose the user writes the following:
Hello,
I'm interested in booking a villa for two weeks in April. Do you have any vacancies?
Regards,
Kevin McFarlane
When this is sent using CDONTS it is received looking like this:
Hello, I'm interested in booking a villa for two weeks in April. Do you have any vacancies? Regards, Kevin McFarlane
My code looks like this:
Set oMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
.
.
.
oMail.Body = bodytext
oMail.MailFormat = CdoMailFormatMime
oMail.BodyFormat = CdoBodyFormatHTML
.
.
where bodytext =
"Hello, I'm interested in booking a villa for two weeks in April. Do you have any vacancies? Regards, Kevin McFarlane"

I don't remember exactly how to do it, but I think it involves replacing Carriage Return\Newline pairs with "<br>" tags.
Try this before assigning the body text to the CDONTS object:
...
bodytext = Replace(bodytext, vbCrLf, vbCr)
bodytext = Replace(bodytext, vbLf, vbCr)
bodytext = Replace(bodytext, vbCr, "<br>")
...
I think this will only work for HTML emails. I haven't tested it.

Hi Jon,
I solved this problem after a bit of trial and error by removing this line:
oMail.MailFormat = CdoMailFormatMime

Hello,
I tried to look at your resume site and the flash won't load. I have flash MX installed, and am using IE5.5. Is something wrong with the file perhaps?

trying to send an email using CDONTS on entry to a page, by using the Window_Onload() Sub routine...
The page is initiated by another page with a form "submit" button... I get the following error when the page attempts to open:
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions' Smart HTML interpreter on this non-HTML page: "http://stage/email_con.html"
Basically, all this page does is thank the user for contacting me and allows them to click a "close window" button, which does a window.close()
Here's the code for the sub:
<%
Sub Window_OnLoad()
Dim objMail
Set objMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
objMail.TO = "vlusardi@sdcera.org"
objmail.Subject = "HTML EMAIL!"
objMail.MailFormat = cdoMailFormatMime
objMail.BodyFormat = cdoBodyFormatHTML
objMail.Body = "this is a test"
objMail.send
set objMail = Nothing
alert("mail sent")
End Sub
%>
can someone tell me how to correct the error message?..... thanks very much...

Is this code in email_con.html? Is your server configured to run ASP code from files with *.html extensions?

jon,
thanks for the reply... not sure if it's configured for that or not, but it runs javascript just fine so I'm assuming it will run vbscript as well... is this an incorrect assumption...??? so to answer you question, yes, it's in the email_con.html file... thanks for any input

Normally .html files are static with regards to server-side processing. You are right, JavaScript does execute in .html files, but it executes on the client side (unless you explicitly specify for it to run on the server). VBScript will run on the client side, but only in Internet Explorer. For ASP processing, you want the script to execute on the server side.
Try renaming the file to email_con.asp and run it again. This tells the Web server that your file potentially contains ASP code that it needs to execute.
This page[^] will give you an introduction to ASP programming. I haven't read any of the material, but it should clarify server-side vs. client-side if you have any further questions. Or ask me, and I'll try to answer them.

jon,
thanks again for the reply... I renamed the file to a .asp extension and got the exact same error message... could there be a server configuration issue, or is there something I'm missing in my code....???
thanks again...

I've tried both methods, <% and , and it produces the same error message...
Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions' Smart HTML interpreter on this non-HTML page: "http://stage/email_con.asp"
thanks for any help

Nope, I'm stumped. I never use the FrontPage extensions. Anyone else use them?
It does sound like a configuration issue, but I don't know what it could be.

Found this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q205540[^]
Are you using FrontPage to develop ASP pages? If so, I suggest abandoning it for a plain-text code editor. The learning curve is much steeper, but the end results will be worth it.

Maria,
if you want to refresh only a single portion of a page in a clean manner, then use the XMLDOM.
If you need samples, etc... then I could help with that.
Cheers,
Simon

I think having that section of the code in IFRAME tag and loading as a separate page would facilitate partial reloading. However the catch is IFRAME is supported only on MSIE.

In many of the programming books I read there is always a strong focus on 3-tier design. The problem is, I have never been able to find a resource which teaches the basics of 3-tier design. I am getting a grasp of the big picture of 3-tier design from the context of the books I read, but because I have not been able to build a reliable basic foundation, it is hard to be sure of what I am doing. Does anyone have any suggestions for some beginner web tutorials or books on the theory AND implementation of 3-tier applications? Thanks.

try www.asp.net and look at the ibspyportal or ibspystore app. They have a 3 tier architecture and you can download the code to review. Also take a look at the architectural (sp) section of the forums as there are quiet a few discussions on this very topic. Hope its helpful.

First - make sure you have SMTP installed on your IIS server (should be there, but if it isn't, this could cause you hours of insane frustration if nobody warns you  ).
Dim objMail,sMailBody, strBody, email, name 'Dim necessary vars
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") 'create object
email = "you@whoever.com"
name = "A Name"
objMail.From = "me@whoever.com" 'set the from for the email
objMail.Subject = "CDONTS Email" 'set the subject for the email
objMail.To = email
'Build the body in HTML format
strBody = "" & _
"" & _
"" & _
" Hello name " & _
" I am writing to you bla bla bla." & _
" " & _
"" & _
""
objMail.Body = strBody
'set the format before the send
objMail.MailFormat = 0
objMail.BodyFormat = 0
'send the mail
objMail.Send
Set objMail = nothing 'destroy the object again
Hope that helps. Note- the HTML formatting for the body of the email is not necessary, but it is a nice touch.
