" Character In Database Field Creating Problem
I am using an Access database, and for a field called size the client entered some values such as 20" x 20" Unfortunately when I try to print that field to the page, the cursor stops typing at 20 because I'm assuming it considers the first " inside the 20" x 20" to be the end of the string.
I am simply trying to print the whole string <%=(rsProdsUpdate("size1"))%>
Is there a workaround this without having to change all the values in the database?

I have a form that seems to add a comma to the end of the email address, ive looked all over the form for this random comma which i cannot find, the comma is definately there before i perform any sort of email error checks, however ive pretty much given up trying to find where its added, but i was wondering, is there something you can add which removes the last character of a field, before it gets entered into the database, something like a comma?

anyone know of a way to create a new field in an existing table with code/sql script? needs to run from an asp script.
i know how to create new tables, not sure how to create fields...
i don't have direct access to the db, due to firewall/hosting weirdness.

I have a client that will be submitting a form that will have copy/text in 3 languages, English, German, and Italian. The last two languages have a lot of special characters. What I am finding is that when the form is submitted the characters for german and italian get stored in an Access database as jibberish if you will. how to make sure that the text is submitted, stored, and then displayed as it should be?

I want to create a database and its tables and populate it through a web page, using ASP. The database is MySQL on win32 (4.10.13-nt) and the driver is MyOLEDB 3.0.
One thing, to set up the ole-db connection, it seems I have to specify a data source, which is an already existing database.
The Connection works and I actually can create the database, but the code for the table creation generates a 500 server error. The SQL itself is taken straight out of MySQLcc query window, so I know it's all good, syntactically.
(Also, regarding the connection, I can connect to and read from an existing database. It's the table creation that seems to be the trouble.)
I did a response.write to the page to make sure that the code coming out is what went in and that is the case. So, I guess one question is, what could be different about creating tables in a db that would fail, when "create database test_links;" and "use test_links;" both complete successfully (and the newly-created database shows up, just no tables in it).
To test the sql, i made three strings of SQL and executed each of them sequentially. The first two work, the third (table generation) fails.
A second question is, is there a way to capture any error message that might be generated at the MySQL end, rather than having the page bomb out; and then display the error. I tried using a RecordSet object, that didn't work, the page still crashes.

Is it possible to create a database of any sort not only Access using nothing but code?
To this day I still create databases using Access on my hardrive then upgrade them and use code to modify them... would be very convinient if there was a way to just create with ASP code and edit from ASP as well...

I need to create a chart/graph with the following data from my database:
Each record is opened and then closed at a later stage. I then calculate the time it took from when the record was entered to when it was closed.
Now i need a pie chart to display how many records was closed in certain times. for example 10 records was closed within the first 10 minutes, 2 in 20 minutes and so on.
this also is to happen for dates that the user entered. i.e a Weekly report and a monthly report.
Any advice and help will be appreciated. I found alot of examples of hardcoded graphs but none extracting data from database.
So first i need to count the records that fits each section of minutes and then use that data to draw my graph?

I am using a repeated field to bring in to my page repeated records, and I have been able to retrieve values that are entered into text boxes that are associated with these repeated fields. I would like to post these values into a database, but I'm not sure how to set up my table as I know that each employee's values as well as number of fields will be different.
I thought about setting up two tables. One that houses the dynamic question and the other to house the answers, but I'm not sure if that will work. I could really use help as to the syntax to write a loop statement that will insert my returned variables and create the field names dynamically into my database table. I believe this is what i need to do.

I want to create a breadcrumb trail on a site, but instead of being
generated by cookies or a directory structure, it needs to be database
driven. My website details hundreds of products, each belonging to a
category. Each category can belong to a parent category, and so on.
My site will feature master/detail pages, and both need to feature a
trail, e.g.
Books > Hobbies > Sport > Football
The master page will list all items within the current category, and the
trail will allow the user to click to any parent category for a wider
listing.
The detail page will show the item detail, along with a full trail to
the category/parent categories it belongs to.
The category structure will grow over time, and different branches will
have different number of levels so it needs to be maintainable.

I have an access database with year designations for field names, such 2005 2004 2003 ... and data corresponding thereto. I can formulate a query in MSAccess and it works just fine. However, I am trying to create a web page that will create a database
connection and use SQL to create a recordset(s) which I can then manipulate in vbScript.
The problem seems to be structuring a query that will work in
vbScript. I have tried several combinations:
rs2.Open "SELECT 2005,2004,2003 FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
rs2.Open "SELECT '2005','2004','2003' FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
rs2.Open "SELECT "2005","2004","2003" FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
but none of these will extract data.
I have also tried casting these numbers to strings in a string variable, but still no success.
Is there some naming convention I am violating by simply using year designations as field names or is there a problem with vbScript?

I pass a table name into my program dynamically. I could display the data by looping through the object.Fields for both the field name and the field data using object.GetRows.
What I have not figured out is if there is a way to figure out from the Fields what type of field (ie. Numeric, Text) it is.
Certainly I could check the actual data once it is read, but is there a way to figure out the field type without doing that? Perhaps an object property of a recordset that I am not familiar with?

The 1st row contains the field names:
Orion.Accounts.AccountName,Orion.Accounts.Address1
the code I use normally works:
<%=rs("Orion.Accounts.AccountName")%>
Although in this case is doesn't because the fieldnames contain full stops.
how to modify this line:
<%=rs("Orion.Accounts.AccountName")%>

I have a form that inserts a student's course choices into an Access db. The student can choose from 4 options in a day. From a drop down box that is populated from the db.
Each course has a field called count1, count2, count3 and count4 which are the class sizes for those sessions. When they choose a session, I have a bit of ASP that takes '1' away from the count.
However, I need to validate the form when it is submitted so that if course = 0 a message pops up to say the course in that session is full. At the moment, the drop down boxes are populated by SQL that says only show if count>0 but if a lot of students load the page at the same time they can all subscribe to it - so I am getting -4 in some sessions. I need to check whether the course in that option is full i.e. '0' when the form is validated and then for it to tell them that that particular session is full.

I am trying to take a name that is in a database field and rearrange it to place it in a session variable. For example:
Database Field:
SMITH, JOHN
What I would like to see:
JOHN SMITH
Instead of - Welcome SMITH, JOHN
I would prefer - Welcome JOHN SMITH
Can this be done when requesting a form variable or does it have to be done when viewing the recordset variable.

I am trying to determine if a field in a database is empty or not. The code I have is this....
(before this I have code that opens up the database, gets the data from the table. the var "content" holds the data if any from the database.)
if content = "" then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
This doesn't seem to work. I also tried...
if (content) then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
No luck yet. Any ideas?

I have an ASP variable called IRNvar:
If IRNvar(0,num) = "True" then
IRNvar(0,num) = 1
else
IRNvar(0,num) = 0
end if
In my sql database I have a True/False field called VariantFlag which is a bit data type. The IRNvar value is numeric. I am trying to insert the 1 or 0 into the database so that the field shows true or false accordingly but I get a 'Type Mismatch' error. Here's the insert statement:
SQL = "INSERT INTO Documents (CNID, DocumentPrefix, DocCategory, DocumentName, VariantFlag, PartNo, PartDesc, NewIssue, StatusID) VALUES ('" & CNID & "', '" & IRNprefix & "', '" & IRNcat & "', '" & IRNnumber & "', " & IRNvar & ", '" & PartNum & "', '" & IRNDesc(0,num) & "', 'A', '5')"
Is there a way to convert the number to the right data type? Am I doing something wrong? I'm quite new to all this so it's probably something silly.
