  • SE Using Active Server Pages
    1 INTRODUCTION Introduction What do we really know about the Internet? The Internet is an unregulated band of computers that continuously share information. This information may contain fundamental truths, profound thoughts and visions, or integrated deceit and outright lies. How many people are under the impres- sion that because they found information on the Web, that the information is absolute truth? The only thing that can definitely be said about the Internet is that it is a network of computers that provides a vast distribution medium to a countless number of people. However, tapping into this vast resource base is only as effective as the communication mechanism between you and your target audience and the ability of the audience to receive and process the information. Speakers and televi- sion screens are useless without a transmitter to translate and receive radio and television signals. Likewise, the multitudes of thin-client browsers are rendered useless without an effective, application-oriented Web server. ■ 01.1389-6 Intro 1 10/26/98, 8:47 AM Brands3/Stone4 SEU Active Server Pages #1389-6 SRing 11/14/97 Intro lp#3 2 Introduction The Purpose of This Book With the integration of the Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0, the Microsoft Transac- tion Server, and Active Server Pages, the power of distributing worthwhile applications over the Web is a reality, which leads to the vision of this book. This book is solely dedicated to demonstrating the powerful functionality of Active Server Pages to deliver real-world applica- tions over the Web. In order to fully understand Web application development, you first have to recognize that this environment is not the traditional development environment you are used to.

  • MAPISEND Documentation
    MAPISEND Documentation MAPISEND Documentation MapiSend is a standalone application included as part of the Print Wizard utilities set. MapiSend provides a way for you to send a file through Microsoft MAPI to any MAPI service you currently have installed. What Is MAPI? MAPI is the Microsoft Messaging API, a set of message handling tools for Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and NT. These services are commonly loaded when you install Internet Explorer or Outlook Express (as basic MAPI), or when you install Microsoft Outlook, Office or Exchange (extended MAPI). Among other possibilities, the basic MAPI protocols support e-mail and faxing. For e-mail, you must have a configured MAPI e-mail reader and have set up the reader for sending mail. This is basically available once you have set up Outlook or Outlook Express. For faxing, you must have installed a MAPI-compatible fax application, and must be working with Microsoft Outlook. With Windows 98, Microsoft Fax was included and works nicely (this can also be installed in Windows 95, but may not be installed by default – it depends on which service packs you have installed). For Windows ME, 2000 and NT, other 3rd party faxing software may be necessary. How do you set/change MAPI options? Basic MAPI works from the installed default e-mail setup. MAPI works off the idea of profiles, a set of services available to a particular logged in person. These are controlled by two different Control Panel dialogs, MAIL and INTERNET OPTIONS. Mail From the Control Panel : Mail dialog, you can set up the user profiles and the properties for the various services.
