I have an apostrophe in an access database in a name. e.g. O'Brien. When I read this value back into some script the apostrophe seems to be terminating my script.Unless of course I have mis-understood what's going on
Are there any rulesguidelines for this sort of data handling
When I insert info into a DB from a form, it cuts the string off at the first apostrophe (").
How would I make it insert the data as-is, with the apostrophes? Here is the code used to insert the Data:
I put in some code to keep apostrophes from being a problem. However, on the
display page, they have double quotes. What am I doing wrong?
Here is the code on the page which captures the data from the form, right
before it gets entered into the database:
------------------------------------------
strInternalDesc =
Replace(Replace(Trim(Request.Form("InternalDesc")),"'","''"),vbCrLf,"<br>")
------------------------------------------
then, on the page where it gets displayed, I get:
Been a while since I've done any asp coding, but happy to be getting back
into it. My question is what is the best way (now) to handle apostrophes
coming in from forms and going into the database? I remember I used to use
a replace function replacing single quotes with two single quotes in one of
my old apps.
Is this still the best way, use this function on all fields I
think an apostrophe may come in, or on all fields? Or should I use a
javascript regular function (which may not even work due to a client
disabling this feature on their browser)?
I did a search about inserting names that have apostrophe, and found something about escape apostrophe? how to do that? When the user tries to insert a name with an apostrophe it blows up. Also the delete page I have doesn't like names with apostrophes in the where clause.
View Replies View RelatedI need to insert field data with apostrophes into Access. However, I keep getting "object expected" errors when I post. I heard about using the replace function like this:
var incidentlocation = Replace(Request.Form("incidentlocation"), "'", "''");
but I get the "object expected" error. What I am doing wrong? My code is below in the text file.
I have a page where students can choose activities in a day... this then directs them to their timetable for that day.
However, if they go back to the choose.asp page and they have already registered, I redirect them to timetable.asp - because I don't want them to change their options.
I have their username stored as a session variable and it works fine for most students - however for the example student O'SMITH-JONESMark the page falls over.
I am using Dreamweaver's 'redirect if username exists' server behaviour. Code below... Can anyone tell me how to fix this so the code is not tripping up over the odd characters? Code:
I'm learning ASP with a database in Access (new to Access also). I have created my tables and all but I'm stuck on how to query the table. I'm familiar with sql statements, so I was wondering if you can access the database the same way as with php and mysql. I.E.
Code:
Select * From Table Where id = 5.
Something like that, or will I need to use
Code:
objRS.Filter "ID = 5"
I guess the main question is does Access accept SQL statements and if so can you give me some examples as to querying the database.
I am working on ASP and SQL Databases. I have written the code . the program is very simple . its just an application form and u will be having upload and submit button . So after the data is being entered , the submit button code should be invoked and the data entered should be stored in the database.
View Replies View RelatedI'm having Difficulty understanding the concept of retreiving information from a database upon user request. E.g i have an ASp page that has a form with 3 drop down boxes and a submit button.
I want the next page to bring results from the database that meet the criteria set upon by the 3 drop down boxes. The DB is Access and its already got the information in it, i just want the correct information to come up in tables once the user has selected the choices in the drop down boxes.
If i upload an ASP page that is connected to an MDB (Access) database to my FTP server, is there any way that I can ensure that no one can download the database and that it remains "untouchable".

I'm trying to design a simple website with 2 dynamic searching functions. The first is the user enters text into a search box, clicks on the search button and then connects to a sql or access database and brings back those records that are LIKE the search phrase. It's my intention to then have a detailsview link on the searches so the user can drill through.I'm designing an online version of my catalog so that the user can browse by page. I also want the user to enter a page number and then click go and that would then take the user to the corresponding page in the catalog. I'm guessing I'll need to declare If 1 then open page1.html, if 2 then open page2.html.
I know I'm close but not close enough and my knowledge has been well and truly stretched and I must have read and read my Dummies book about 20 times over the last week.
For my ICT (computers) project at college I'm using an Access database, and I now have a problem with that. Basically the way it works is that the user enters their details in a form page (here). This then does the usual thing; runs a script which inputs the data into a database and then displays a thank you message.
the problem I'm having is that whenever I input punctuation into the form, it refuses to work; it comes back with a 500 server error. This is understandably quite irritating, as I'm setting up a mailing list that needs to incorporate a list of email addresses
My hosting account gives me a lot of MySQL databases but I usually just stick with MS SQL Server because it gives me fewer troubles.Now I want to challenge MySQL again. I use connString "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=myserver; DATABASE=mybase; UID=myID;PASSWORD=myPwd; OPTION=3"
And the conn and recordset objects connects smoothly with the database. I can even get the things i want out of it. But every time I try to update the database such as:
rs("Content")="Cool"
rs.update
'or
names=array("Content")
values=("Cool")
rs.update names, values
It just wouldn't work...why? Content field is a text field.

I'm trying to pull information from two different databases, use it, and then put it back into a database. The program I am writing is one which will keep track of exempt employees' absences. At the end of the year, employees get to rollover the sick days that they do not use. Herein lies the problem. The information on how many sick days an employee is in an AD download on one server. The information on how many days that employee has taken this year is on another. I need to take that information do a little math, and then add those days into a different table on the same server that the absences came off of to keep track of their "sick bank".
I would like to just Loop the information, but I cannot put recordsets inside recordsets and I cannot create a view from two separate servers, so I am at a stop sign. Can I just take all of the users and the amout of sick days they have and put them in a text file and then pull off of the text file? I'm not quit sure how to do this.

I'd like to create a class file for a shopping cart that I'm working on but I'm not sure about how to use the database with it.
Do I connect and open to the database inside the class or outside of the class and set the properties?
I'm thinking that if I open and close the database with say a getItem() method and I have 15 items to get, I'll be opening and closing a connection 15 times. Isn't that bad?
