The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

VB6, IIS4 (on NT4 SP4), and ShellExecute

Asked by ngjc in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: shellexecute, vb6

I've been using ShellExecute successfully for years on 95/98/NT systems to open/print Adobe Acrobat PDFs w/ the user's default prog. w/ NO problems.

I'm writing a VB6 prog., running on NT4 SP4 w/ IIS4, that lets visitors to our Website fax the PDF forms to a fax # they enter on an HTML form. I do this in my stand-alone progs. w/:

lngResult = ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(),"Print",strFile,0&,0&,vbMinimized)

Where:
GetDesktopWindow():the hWnd of the Desktop.
strFile: Full path to file.

Everything is submitted to the prog. PERFECTLY, but the ShellExecute function returns "2" which according to the Win32 API means, "File not found." If I hard-code the path to the file into the function, compile the function into an EXE, and then double-click on it while sitting at the server, it works FINE!

This HAS to be a security issue. Any ideas?

Take all the points you want up to 1000. This has been driving me nuts, and I've lost an entire work day to this @#$&!
