You can call the xp_cmdshell proc from within your proc which runs "iexplore

youraspfile.asp".



Hope that helps.

why...because it's there!!!



and because i've inherited a big database with lots of triggers and stored 

proceedures and I am not a database person so it's easier for me to write 

scripts than new proceedures etc...I intend to learn it all but the job 

needs me to produce results now so I'm getting things done the only way I 

know how.

Fair enough.



The reason I asked if because if there was anything that I could think of

that I would be most unlikely to call from a proc would be an ASP page. I

can understand .exe, .dll or some script, but not .asp. But I guess if it is

already there...



Mind you I would suggest that you become a database person really quickly

:-). I have more fun in databases than anything else I do.

hi...



actually...my poor use of terminology is probably to blame here...when i 

say ASP script i don't actually mean one that produces a web page, i mean 

just a bit of vbscript that can do stuff to the database...my reasoning is 

that say i have a trigger on a table that fires on an update.  that may 

set off a proceedure that has been written by the developer who wrote this 

system to do some horribly complex stuff all written in stored proceedure 

SQL.  I have only just started to look at that kind of thing and it makes 

me want to weep with fear.  So, instead of having the trigger set off the 

existing proceedure I could get it to run my script which would perform 

the same updates whatever as the the proceedure but which was written by 

me in a langauge that i can understand.  I am learning about the way 

proceedures are written but I 'm in a position where I have a system that 

is in constant use and there is no backup/development server to try stuff 

out on!!!  Therefore any mistakes I make will impact on the working 

system.  I am therefore avoiding modifying any of the existing stuff where 

i can and writing little scripts to do things that can replace them when 

they work.  Eight weeks so far and the company is still in business!!!
