Access Database Field Name
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 am pulling legislation information and expiry dates from an access database and posting to the web. The expiry dates in access are formatted as Month Day, Year (EG.. January 1, 2006) But when they are pulled from the database to the web, they come out as 01/01/06. I know that the format we have in access is simply a mask, however we require that format be carried through.
This is likely a simple solution, however I am new to ASP and can't seem to locate any information on this. I have searched the forum for related info on this but can't find anything that relates to my specific situation.
Here's the code we are using so far...
Code:
<%
Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 'i.e. carry on looping through while there are records
Response.write "<tr><td>"'open row and first cell
Response.write Recordset("Legislation")
Response.write "</td>"'close first cell
Response.write "<td>"'open second cell
Response.write Recordset("Repealed")
Response.write " "
Response.write Recordset("Expiry_Date")
Response.write "</td></tr>" 'close row
Recordset.MoveNext 'move on to the next record
Loop
%>
I have also found and implemented the following code:
Code:
dt=recordset("Expiry_date")
dt=Month(dt)&"/"&day(dt)&"/"&year(dt)
response.write(dt)
This lets me change the positions of the numbers, but I can't figure out how to make it display the full month name and full year.

I can't print the contents of an Access memo field. Every other field type displays fine but this one.
I saw an old thread saying that you should first assign the memo field to a variable but that also doesn't seem to work (please see the attached bit of code). The memo field is "Message". Code:

I have more than one date field on my ASP forms (and in the sister MS Access table) I can not write (created the record in Access table) to the table UNLESS there is date data in ALL the date fields on the ASP form.
I need to be able to have the user enter only one date, then do back at a later time and enter the other date.I am using the short date format in Access table (MM/DD/YYYY) When there is only one date field (on ASP form and in Access table) the date is written and the record is created.

I have a timesheet application I'm working on. The user fills in a form which sends data to an Access db. On the results page I need to display the values from 2 fields; i.e if the user selects "Report Writing" from a drop down list, I need the data contained in another column called 'Codes' to display as well.

I have a DateTime stamp in one of my Access database columns. Using now() as the default value, it enters records in the following format:
17/06/2005 14:28:40
This is perfect. UK format, just as I want.
However, when I pull this record into an ASP page it appears in a different format:
6/17/2005 14:28:40 AM
How can I stop it from re-writing the data into American format? I just need to display it exactly as it is in the database.

i have a checkbox Code:
<input class="txtbox" type="checkbox" name="C1" value="ON">
it will correspond to a field in my ms access database that has a Yes/No data type. when the box is ticked, i would simply like the value Yes to be entered into the database..
i enter other elements of my form (a input text box for example) using Code:
rsAddComments.Fields("area") = Request.Form("area")
so what would the entry code look like similar to this.. and what would the for checkbox code look like?

I have been doing adodb connections and using Access2000 for several lightweight websites. I have never had any problem with any of the SQL commands to insert, update, delete, etc.
I can insert a record into a memo field just fine ... up to a certain number of characters (nowhere near the 65K limit). After several hundred characters, the insert fails ... nothing happens ... the execute just idles and no insert is done. Anyone help? I have read about data types, etc., but everything I read sounds as if ASP and Access 2000 are suppose to handle the type conversions. They have been doing it up to this certain size.

I have a request form that is used for requesting copies og an edition of a magazine. What I need to do is get back the information, from a MS Access table, for the issuedate and deadline.
Because the deadline is not always the same number of days (ie dependant on issue it could be 14 days before, or 21 days before etc), so as well as picking the issue date from the table, I need to be able to get the deadline date back, and write to a seperate Request "field" on the Form. Code:

I'm using asp to retrieve data from a server and import that data in a client that uses MSAccess, into a memo field. The text hes line breaks 0D 0A (the usual DOS line breaks). However the client sees these line breaks as two squares!
The strange thing is that when I look at the exported text (yes, I also export text from the client to the server), it also contains the same line breaks. So the exported text from the memo field can look exactly the same as the imported text, and before the export the line breaks are correctly shown als line breaks, but after the import that same line breaks are shown as squares! I would like to see line breaks after the import and NO squares.

I'm looking to make an online multiplayer game which will utilize Access Database... basically I require thousands of people writing and reading from the same database... I was wondering if this is possible for that... or is mdb file restricted to 1 person at a time...
If it is limited what would you suggest as the best way to control an interactive online environment? .txt files possibly?

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?

I have a "csv file" as a database.
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.
