Hi, I thought the [CODE] tag when posting was to allow HTML code to be placed into a post.

However, after trying this, I discovered it didn't.. so what does this tag do?

Thanks

Ian.

The code tag normally formats the text differently.

It is used to post "code" snippets - of any language, on programming / technical forums.

So - for example I could use it to post this ActiveX script I have lying around - on an ActiveX site

[code]Option Explicit

Function Main()

Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success

Dim oPkg, oStep
Dim sServer, sUID, sPWD, iSecurity , sPkgPWD, sPkgName, sErrMsg
Set oPkg = CreateObject("DTS.Package")

' Assign parameters
sServer = "LDA-PMSDB"
sUID = ""
sPWD = ""
iSecurity = DTSSQLStgFlag_UseTrustedConnection
sPkgPWD = ""
sPkgName = "Create lda_transactions"

' Load Child Package
oPkg.LoadFromSQLServer sServer, sUID, sPWD, iSecurity , sPkgPWD, "", "", sPkgName

oPkg.Execute

For Each oStep In oPkg.Steps
 If oStep.ExecutionResult = DTSStepExecResult_Failure Then
  Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Failure
 End If
Next

oPkg.Uninitialize
Set oStep = Nothing
Set oPkg = Nothing

End Function[/code]

HTML is turned off for these forums, as the potential scope for damage far outweighs the advantages.
