My company uses a vendor's web site to enter payroll data.  They have the typical form fields on their web page in which enter data.\nMy data is somewhat repetitive and it would be more efficient if I could redirect data input from me on my keyboard to a "batch" file.  Once I have created the batch file, it would be much easier because very little data changes from month to month.\nDoes anybody remember what a batch file is?  If so, you must be as old as me.\nAnd don't suggest that I contact the vendor.  It would take an act of God for them to change their ways.\nThanks!

Hi,\n\nWell if you know a good web developer (like myself), then you could create a script (CGI) that submits your data to their site. All their form will be doing is submitting the value's in each field to a CGI script anyway.\n\nThe other option is to save a copy of the web page containing the form, and modify it to hold the regular data you use. You could run the page locally on your PC, open it in Internet Explorer, make any changes (if needed) and submit the form.\n\nWith either of these methods, you will just need the full URL path to their CGI script. You can find this by viewing the source code.\n\nP.S. Batch files never went anywhere, it's just not that necessary these days :)

It depends on the application you're running, but most of the time click: 'file' - 'new' - 'document'. Then you might see a prompt asking you for parameters, but it's that simple.

If you know anything about writing scripts, you can write a batch file that will pull and execute all of the updates and reboot at the end.  You can probably even do a google search and find one someone else has written and just change the file tags.

Step 1: Does your web server provide server side scripting? (for example: PHP or ASP). Almost all free web servers do not provide PHP or ASP. So, you should choose to pay paid virtual web server. Some are expensive, but there are web servers that very cheap. In my country (Indonesia), you can get it for as low as $0.5 a month!\nTripod and Geocities (free version) do not provide PHP and ASP. So, you must use graphical counter. This counter is generated from other server (and commonly provided by comercial companies). I never see ad-free counter. But, if you host on Geocities, you can use Geocities' counter for free, without advertisement. Or, you can use BraveNet's counters.\nStep 2: If your web server provide PHP, let's begin. We can write simple PHP counter code, without database (without MySQL, MSSQL, etc). Just using plain text.\n\nWrite this code into your webpage (index.php for example):\n\n<?php\n$logfile = 'log.txt';\n$pad = 5;\n\nif (file_exists($logfile)) {\n  $count = file_get_contents($logfile);\n}\nelse {\n  $count = 0;\n}\n\n$count++;\n\n$file = fopen($logfile, 'w');\nif (flock($file, LOCK_EX)) {\n  fwrite($file, $count);\n  flock($file, LOCK_UN);\n};\nfclose($file);\n\n$count = str_pad($count, 5, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);\necho $count;\n?>\n\nLast step, give proper permission for log.txt (writable).\nNote: If this answer useful for you, please do rate. Thank you!

Volumes - How many queries and new inserts would your database have to handle. You can get high volume simulation software.\n\nMultiple queries on the same information at the same time.\n\nMultiple inserts at the same time.\n\nMultiple edits/amends on the same information at the same time \n\nDoes your database crash if someone tries to put in information with the same "data id key."\n\nIf you are doing accounting transactions are both side of the insert mask using the same math's rules. There are certain numbers that if the one side of the transaction rounds down and the other side rounds up the transaction won't balance.\n\nSecurity - can you get someone to hack into the database.\n\nBrainstorm some possible glitches that could happen like:\n* part of a record being input and the rest being lost in transmission \n* record Keys not matching between all the databases\n* someone inserting garbage on purpose using all characters on the keyboard\n*what happens if all necesary databases are not updated when information is inserted\nSee if your input masks and error reports will highlight any of the above.\n\nContingency procedures - do your back up and reinstall processes work.

The asking questions to the server manager will work.  The\n   question is not in faq, the question should be:  Can I get the\n   report of my file held(date) on my service in print.  Offer to pay\n   up to ten dollars. At least that is how my office does recover\n   buddies, I have 40 people that might encounter this problem.\n   We got response right thru email your questions to aim.

What type of program or command do you want to execute.\nIf you don't want all the commands to be seen, each command line has to start with echo. That is echo and a period which means don't show what is typed after it. I haven't written a batch command for some time but it can be tricky if you mis-type a single keystroke.\nE-mail me with details of what you want to do and I'll see if I can make it work.

It's a good idea in theory. Especially for workers who are trying to remember their employment history for applications and resume's. I run into folks all the time who have misplaced their tax forms or forgotten an employer. It would help with not only that issue, but also what you have stated. However, it would cost a lot to set up and keep maintained. How would you ensure accuracy? What if an employer didn't report and it messed up someone's credit or chance at a job? What if an employee didn't report properly because they didn't want anyone to know about a job that lasted 2 months and they got fired? The accurate reporting would be an issue, as well as the safety and security of the database. Anything can be hacked.

There really isn't anything that I know of that u can do in java, but try not having the scripts embedded. It sounds like the computer can't handle so much info.

I don't know if what you looking for is possible. The way it sounds you want search terms entered and then based on those, it will decide which page to go to. A better way is to have a search page that displays results and allows them to be clicked on and then displays the page. \n\nThis would definitly take some script of some sort. I prefer using ASP.NET and C#. However, this can be done many different ways. If you would use C# or VB, there are visual tools you can use to create a connection to your database, create a data table within your web application and then display the corresponding data.\n\nFor more information see:\nhttp://www.asp.net\n\nThat site contains a lot of information.\n\nGood luck!

I'm going to assume some things.\n1) The script is javascript\nFor the first part are you paying yahoo for hosting your webpage?\nMost of the database language and other scripting Languages that are supported by Yahoo can be used after you payed them.\nthe othe way is to use this method.\nPaste the code to (EG. Counter.js) notepead and save the .txt file as .js(javascript)\nupload this file(upload manager).\nThen copy this code into the <head> tags.\n<script src="Counter.js" type="text/javascript"></script>\nimp note:\nthere should be a <div> tags that contain the Display for counter.\nthis go to the page that you want the counter in.\nIt's more useful to include where you get the source Script.\nEG\nhttp://www.yahoo.com/

You don't NEED to create a new procedure (actually, it would be a function, not a procedure, if you want it to return the answer), because you can use the Click() procedure of the "calculate payroll" button, but like the procedure, there's no place for the answer unless you use a Text box for the results of the calculations.  Whereas a function will return the value you want into a local variable and you can continue using the results of your calculations.

Are you trying to change the same line in all 300 pages?  A simple search and replace can do that.  Is the site on your computer or on your server?\n\nIf it's on your computer, you can try NoteTab lite.  It's free.  http://www.notetab.com\nWhen you do a search and replace (Ctrl+r), under "scope" select "all documents." I don't know if all the documents have to be open with NoteTab for the S&R function to hit it, but I think so.\n\nIf you have Dreamweaver, it's easier: when you do a replace, select "all files in site".  None of the pages have to be open for the S&R function to hit them, but to "select all files in site" you must first define your site.  If you don't have dreamweaver, you can download a free 30-day trial at http://www.adobe.com . \n\nIf the pages are on your server you could also do a grep type replace on the command line: no software needed for that one - just a unix based server.\n\nHint: If you are going to go with the free notetab version, and your site has a complex directory structure that you don't feel like wading thru, you can use your desktop search for files with ".php" in the name or your line of code in the content.  This will return all the php files without the hassle of going thru all the directories

That will not be a database program because no database is involved!\n\nWhat language is the answer to be coded in?\n\nHow will the data be organised?\nOne line per data item?  \nThis will need x reads per property.  Will also leave blank lines where items missing.\n\nOne line per property.  Will there be fixed size data items or will you have a seperator? The seperator cannot be used in the data item!

First of all, is it a browser based or a windows program? There are many different ways to do it with many different languages. \n\nIf it's browser based, you can create such program using JavaScript or any other Server-side scripting program. \n\nGive us more detail and we will let you know which language you can use.\n\nAdded on 01/20:\nOk, it might be a little late to answer this question, but you can do it by using JavaScript. If you don't know JS, then you can't do it in one night from scratch. \n\nGo buy a book and learn JS. Maybe it will help you next time. \n\nPS: Did you win?

If you setup each client as a separate quicken file, you can e-mail them the quicken file when you want to share the transactions tracked in the file.\n\nNot sure about your question on "why don't CD automatically accept data"?  If you're using Window XP, you just need to drag and drop the files you want to copy into the CD-rom drive within Window Explorer, once you're all done copying, just need to right click the CD-Rom icon to committ the change by selecting "Write file to disc."
