This page is included in another page. Oh, I see.

Okay, so the parent page has this form defined:

form name="findex" method=post action="index.asp"
              input type=hidden name="CompanyId" value=%=Session("CompanyId")%
              input type=hidden name="AuthorityLevel" value=%=Session("AuthorityLevel")%
              input type=hidden name="docid" value=0
              input type=hidden name="gotopage" value=' '
            /form

(Wow, that took five tries to format.)

So the page is secretly gathering information about who clicks on what, and using a docid defined in the link to track it. Yes?

The page is passing the information to another page, yes, but there's no way to know from this what information it's gathering or keeping -- it could just as easily be checking that the person doing the clicking is authorized to see filename.pdf and that's all.

In other words, the docid is just passing on "this is the document we're talking about", rather than saying anything further about what's being tracked and how. But you're quite right about the fact that it's passing along the reference to that file.

Apparently another coworker has seen this mysterious report, and we think no one's used it in years. Ah, the smell of obsolete things.

Given that we have no way of telling how they numbered these documents, I think I may just make the link straight HTML and see if anyone complains.

Thanks, guys.

Yeah, if there's no clear need for doing it and no way to predict what it does, it's just useless code. Ditch it.

Is there a way within Outlook to define my working hours? I work on a slightly different schedule than the rest of my department, and I keep getting invited to meetings outside of my regular hours. (You'd think after 3 months it wouldn't still be this difficult for people to remember, and yet...)

I'm not an Outlook user myself, but is this what you're looking for? [link]

Yes! Thanks.

my macbook sounds like a gerbil on a wheel. I'm backing up files, but don't have time to invoke my apple care today. anyone ever had this experience?

I have a Motorola Q that runs Windows Mobile. I've just recently started having issues with the text messaging and the web browser. When I click on the text message to read it, the screen comes up blank.

When I try to read b.org, it goes blank, even though sites like gmail and cnn work perfectly.

Is it just a kink in my phone and I should maybe take it back or is there something I can fiddle with to fix it?

cashmere - my macbook & your Q have the new zipcode blues, I think.
