View RepliesI have a search form that searches through employee records by either employee number or last name. I have 2 radio buttons, one for last name and the other for employee number. The value of those radio buttons tells the query what to search by. My problems is if they forget to select last name and type text into the search field. I get an error of course. How should I handle this? I need some fresh eys on the problem.
If request.QueryString("action") = "search" AND request.form("searchby") = "nam" then
rsTraining.Source = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE " & searchby & " LIKE '" & criteria & "%' AND STATUS ='Active' ORDER BY NAME_LAST, NAME_FIRST"
End If
If request.QueryString("action") = "search" AND request.form("searchby") = "num" then
rsTraining.Source = "SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE " & searchby & " = " & criteria & " AND STATUS ='Active' ORDER BY NAME_LAST, NAME_FIRST"

I am getting a bug with regards to submitting an ASP form. Here's the scenario:
I am entering info in a form and calling an ASP page to process it. I am collecting info from the fields like so Code:
I’ve a form with a textbox called Message. When visitor enters text, I use Replace function to handle an apostrophe code that will receive the text and store in the database.
It works fine.
When I try to retrieve the text message, it doesn’t show what I’ve in the DB, but it displays, for example: I?m. It supposes to display as “I’m”
I did try:
<%message= Replace(trim(RS("message")),"'","''")%>
<td><p><%=message%></p></td>
I know this is a very commonly asked question, but I can't find a solution
anywhere that I have looked.
I need to take the text that will be typed in paragraph form by the user
(textarea field) and do two things with it:
1. Store it in a SQL Server database field
2. Send it in an email upon page submit.
Of course, single quotes have caused problems, so I have this code:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'","''")
Problem is, it shows up like this in the email that is sent:
==============================
We''re in the process of
==============================
I would like to get rid of the double apostrophes, but not sure how. Went to
an article on ASPFAQ, and saw something which directed me to do this:
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'",chr(34))
However, that just makes it a regular double-quote. I guess I could try and
find out what the character number for apostrophes are, but not sure where
that is. Besides, will that mess up my SQL Server or the email if I do that?
i have a textarea in my form, and it worked. but if the input text contains apostrophe, i would get sth like this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''rtert'','Judy Nadia Jolonius');'. /saveRemarks.asp, line 195
how can i make asp ignore the apostrophe?
I know a few ways to handle an apostrophe, but am at a loss for which i should use for this. The ways I know how to deal with it are.
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", "''")
alias = Replace(Request.form("alias"), "'", " & #39; ")
The name of the field is self explanitory. When the admin searches for a person using the "'" , " ' ' " method they find the user. But when ever we display that info anyware it has the O''conner setup. Code:
I'm trying to query a database where some records contain apostrophes in them. Is there an effective way to do this?
View Replies View RelatedI am running into a very common problem that i cannot seem to find a solution for. I have an access database with a text field. Some of the records will contain an apostrophe. i have used the replace method to escape the apostrophe and turn it into ~~~. I can sucessfully change that back to an apostrophe everywhere but a text box. Here is my code:
response.write "<input type=text name=title" & icount & " value='" & replace(rs("title") ,"~~~", "'") &"' size=55><br>"
When I want to execute a SQL statement (as we all know) certain characters will cause an error. You can't execute a statement with a " in one of the parameters or else the command will stop short and result in an error.
Let's say for example that I'm trying to update a field named "code" and the value of the field "code" is: Code:
I currently have a simple html page that consists of a text box and submit button. A user supplies a quote in the text box and presses the submit button. When the submit button is pressed the quote is added to a ‘Quote’ table in an MS Access database.
This works perfectly well, however if a quote contains an apostrophe, such as … this won’t work… It will not add to the database. If I had typed in …this wont work… It would be added to the database with no problems. Code:
how to add the symbol ' (Apostrophe) to the code so that the validation accepts this within a surname such as o'neill? this is wot i hav at the minute:
With regExName
.Pattern = "^[a-z]+$"
.IgnoreCase = true
.Global = true
End With
how to accept ' or apostrophe when adding on the database? because I created a simple guestbook and when i tested it it works fine but once i add apostrophe like TOY'S etc it generates error.
View Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the apostrophe not showing up correctly when doing a mysql query and returning the data.
I am using a function to keep apostrophes from causing the queries to fail and the data that does get displayed to the user (html) turns out right 90% of the time but on a certain page it displayes the apostrophy twice instead of once. Here are the relevant pieces of code:
I am using a Replace function to replace single quotes with double when
submitting a text field in the database i.e. Replace (q, "'", "' ' ")
which works fine. When I retrieve the field from the database which has
apostrophe I am getting 'Object expected' error message. Is there a
way to fix this?
Isn't there some line of code that I can write to tell ASP to treat everything between BLAH and /BLAH as text (including the apostrophe). So that users can type a name of "O'Malley" in a form and I can retrieve it and store it in my database.
View Replies View RelatedWhat is the correct data type to use if the phrase I'm saving to my table contains an apostrophe such as in the phrase "yesterda's news". I've tried "text" data type, I've tried "varchar" and "char". They all give me bugs when I save to the database and if I remove the apostrophe from the phrase, then it saves correctly with any data type.

We've been expriencing periodic database connection errors with ASP code
talking to an MS Access database. Every once in a while, the code can't
connect to the database.
Usually there are no log entries that might point
to difficulties, but early this morning the Application Log was filled with
the 2 errors below. Once we did an IISRESET, the problem cleared. Does IIS
need to be re-installed, or??
Since upgrading to Windows 2003 Server from Windows 2000
Enterprise Server we have had alot of ASP problems. The
problems are centered around asp pages which are one level
or more below the main folder within a web site. We have
many web sites which have used the database interface
wizard in FrontPage which puts these pages up to three
levels deep inside the folder hierarchy of the main site.
The pages will not work with IIS 6. I have had to re-
engineer many of these sites without the database
interface wizard. My solution at this point is to put all
ASP pages at the root level which seems to work but
negates all version of Frontpage management including
FrontPage 2003 Beta. This is a serious problem!
Especially for us who teach FrontPage and ASP!
first, in NS (version 3, don't ask), get a
Code:
HTTP Error 400
400 Bad Request
Due to malformed syntax, the request could not be understood
what's that?
second, how do you turn the pop-up error alert window in IE for Mac off so that we can see the error in the browser window?
just for the record, the app works in windows fine, seems to have troubles on the Mac side.
I have a classic ASP application that runs fine on IIS on win 2000 or IIS on XP. But recently a client installed it on Win 2003 and now consistently gets an Internet Explorer-side error:' syntax error line. char 1' when he browses to it with IE 6.0.
When client moved the whole app as-is to an XP machine and then browsed to
it, he had no problem. I suspect the error involves client-side javascript. Iam looking into it; in the meantime:Are there a known issues of this kind involving IE 6.0 and windows 2003?
I recently finished a project for someone and they are getting 500 errors. What's driving me nuts is the application works fine from my location. All I can think is it could be a firewall issue but I've messed with my firewall and I can't reproduce the error.
What's ever more annoying is they are getting this error from more than one location. I don't see anything that would cause this. This is an admin application that uses Session and adds/updates an access DB. Works fine here.
Before we upgraded our intranet server to Windows 2000, when I had an ASP error the page used to load up to the point where it was crashing out and then I would get an error message. This allowed me to response.write values to find out where the error was happening.
Since we upgraded, all I get now is a 'page cannot be displayed' with the error message on it. This means that I can't response.write values anymore and makes debugging a lot more difficult.
Is there a setting somewhere that controls how the message is displayed? Is this in IIS or is it a browser issue?
I'm afraid I have a technical problem here. Basically what happens is that I'm getting some random errors(like Type mismatch... etc) that shouldn't under normal circumstances occur. Then I connect to my server via remote desktop and Recycle the application pool on which my asp pages run. Errors then disappear

I've get a problem in browsing .aspx pages locally.
I'm using Windows 2000 Advanced Server with IIS enabled
and .NET framework SDK installed, as well as Visual
Studio.NET.
But when I browse .aspx pages locally, I.E. shows "Server
Application Unavailable" message. In the Event log, I find
error event of ASP.NET 1.0.3705.0 with the description :
aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username
and/or password supplied in the processModel section of
the config file are invalid.
I have written a script on an include page which pretty much will write all the required ServerVariables and session variables into a string and email off to me incase a page happens to error out.
I have the code working as I want it to using the folllowing:
If Err.Number = <> 0 Then
'RUN INCLUDE
End If
My issue is, where do I include this on the pages? If I put it at the top will it only run if there is an error at the start of the page or will it be assigned no matter how far down the page the error exists.
Or do I need to put in On Error Resume Next at the top then put the include at the bottom?
example,
I have 3 drop down boxes n a page.
1st box contains all countries,
2nd box contains all locations in that country selected from the 1st box
3rd box contains all items at that particular location selected from the 2nd box
Despite trying the codes given, I am still not getting it right!
