simple informtation about that tim a database was backed up. I owuld
like to create an HTA that operator types can look at to make sure
that the backups finished, can someone help me do this?
The stored procedure in called sp_lastback and the output looks like
this:
database days since backup timestamp of backup
dbase1 0 2004-10-14 00:41:21.000
dbase2 0 2004-10-14 00:08:36.000
dbase3 1 2004-10-13 22:46:57.000
Can this be done? If someone could help me with this simple problem, I
could probably reuse the same method a 100 useful ways.
Thanks in advance!"sumGirl" <emebohw@.netscape.net> wrote in message

You'll probably get a better response in a group for HTA users. I guess you
could write a client script to execute the procedure with ADO, then loop
over the ResultSet and build the .hta file dynamically, but I have no idea
about any details.
Simon|||Here's a generic technique to render a resultset using dynamic html. There
may be better ways to accomplish the task, though.
<html>
<head>
<body>
<Script Language="VBScript"
Sub btnListBackups_OnClick()
Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConnection.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB" & _
";Data Source=" & "DBDELTA1" & _
";Integrated Security=SSPI"
Set recordSet = oConnection.Execute("EXEC tempdb..sp_lastback")
myResultTable = "<table border=""1"">"
myResultTable = myResultTable & "<tr>"
For i = 0 To recordSet.Fields.Count - 1
myResultTable = myResultTable & _
"<th>" & _
recordSet.Fields(i).Name & _
"</th>"
Next
myResultTable = myResultTable & "</tr>"
Do While Not recordSet.EOF
myResultTable = myResultTable & "<tr>"
For i = 0 To recordSet.Fields.Count - 1
myResultTable = myResultTable & _
"<td>" & _
recordSet.Fields(i).Value & _
"</td>"
Next
myResultTable = myResultTable & "</tr>"
recordSet.MoveNext
Loop
myResultTable = myResultTable & "</table>"
recordSet.Close
oConnection.Close
Results.innerHTML = myResultTable
End Sub
</script
<input type="button" id="btnListBackups" value="List Backups">
<hr>
<nobr Id=Results></nobr>
</body>
</html

Hope this helps.
