Assign CSV Data To Recordset Through URL
I'm having a bit of a problem and I was hoping someone could help me out. I'm trying to create an interface for manipulating historical stock prices obtained through finance.yahoo.com. I need to make a recordset contain the data of a CSV file that Yahoo returns, but the catch is that I want to pass the data along by pointing the recordset to the URL of the CSV files on the Yahoo server.
Yahoo creates its CSV files dynamically through the querystring of its URL (see below), and I would use inputs to my interface to manipulate the URL for specific ticker symbols, dates, etc. I guess the simplest example is that a user could input a ticker to my interface, the recordset would somehow "call" the URL for the correct data, and then that data would be in the recordset, where I could manipulate it, before returning the information back to the user.
I'm just stumped on how to get the CSV data into the recordset on the fly, just by calling the URL.
The following link is an example of what Yahoo does. Manipulating the querystring changes the ticker, date range, and level of detail. You can also change the table.csv to table.txt and return the actual data in one big text file. Code:

I have a web page that submits a form to a database. Each time a form is submitted, I need to assign it a unique case number and insert the case number into the database along with the information entered in the form.
I am able to insert all the data into the database, but am not sure how to generate the case number to insert. Is there a way to do this based on number from the previous entry, like just add 1 to it?

I’m in the middle of designing a simple website poll... nothing to fancy a simply question and results type thing... however I’ve hit a problem in that I cannot figure out how to add one to the running total when a vote is cast. For example:
Do you like this website:
A: Yes Lots – radio button if selected adds one to yeslots column
B: It’s ok - radio button if selected adds one to Itsok column
C: It could be improved - radio button if selected adds one to Itcouldbeimproved column
And of course we’re using an Access database for this one.

I have a page where the user logins in and is taken to another page. On this page i want them to insert data into another table within my database.
At the moment however it just enters data into the database once. I'm assuming it�s because I don't have a recordset set up. How do get the ID of the user so that it will insert the new data into the relevant recordset.

I have a page that pulls 'member' registration information from a table similar to a bulk delete with checkboxes. This works fine, it pulls all of the member info. What I want to do is have the selected records added to a new table known as courses.
Sort of a bulk registration system where I have a list of members, put in the start date, end date, course name and course number once and it populates for all of the members in the new table adding the member info with the course info. Code:

I have a simple application setup where people can submit a request for a sample of our product to be mailed to them. It's a very simple form with name and address information. I have a page setup where our warehouse guys can pull up current requests and then the plan is to use USPS.com to print shipping lables.
While it's already a big time saver, they're still having to either copy/paste or re-type the information into USPS.com's forms. Knowing the names of the form fields on their site, is there a way I can populate their forms with the data in my recordset from my details page?
For instance, they pull up the current requests and they click into the details page for one of them which lists the person's name and address. If I have the USPS.com page open in another window and on the screen which contains the form fields is there a way to call that page and populate those fields accordingly?

I put in a request recently for a script which would return 9 random numbers between 1 and 30. I got a reply which gave me this script, which writes them out.
It works great, but in the loop that writes them out, instead I would like to assign each value to a variable, such as img1,img2,img3,img4, etc. in the for loop, is this possible, or should I write out 9 statement lines, each assigning a value to a variable. I intend to plug the values into a java applet which rotates images.
Come to think of it, I could just put each value of the array right into the img tag, no? <img src="images/<%=random_number(1)=>.jpg"> Code:

I have a code somewhat like this:
Dim screenSize
If Request.Form("resScreen") = "1024x768" Then
screenSize = "big"
Else
screenSize = "small"
End If
this works fine, but when this page is reloaded, it doesn't
find this Request.Form("resScreen")
(this form is also on another page, which explains why) but can I store this variable "big" the first time it loads somehow?

I have this simple application that I put together using ASP. It has an html form that submits to an access database through a simple ASP file. It’s a survey form basically. One of the departments here wants to get some feedback from their students and in return for filling out the survey they will be entered into a drawing for a gift certificate. The catch is that the survey is anonymous. What they want to happen is each person is given a unique number at the end of the survey and they will pick one of those numbers randomly to see who the winner is. How can I possibly do this? I am stuck.
I think I may know what I need to do:
Pull a unique number from a database and post it onto the HTML form near the submit button. Notate on the page that the user write the number down and when they hit submit it is inserted into the database along with the record. I have absolutely no idea how to do that.
The HTML form submits into the database using this "add.asp" file:
Code: ....

My ASP page contains the following VBScript code:
<%
zipCode = Request.Form("zip")
%> <br>zip: <%= zipCode %>, rf: <%= Request.Form("zip") %>
When I enter "abc" into the "zip" field on the form, I get the
following output:
zip: , rf: abc
Why doesn't the first statement assign the "abc" string to the
variable "zipCode"? What am I not seeing?

URLURLOn page load there is a variable called "id" it has already got the value (say 7170)
I have a query in a function that executes a dataset, the query is "select Col1, Col2 from persons where id = " & id
Therefore, on page load - how do I call the function. Assign the value of Col1 to textbox1 and the value of Col2 to textbox2.
In the text box I would use <%=var %>
But how do I assign the result of the query to the variable?
Would it be worth using a datareader instead?

I am trying to update an integer field in an Access database with a null value (ie, make the field empty). It currently has an integer in it. Here's the code I've tried, which normally works for all other updates:
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.ActiveConnection = sConnString
rs.Source = "SELECT * FROM tblFixtures WHERE FixtureID = " & strFixtureIDcurrent
rs.CursorType = 0
rs.CursorLocation = 2
rs.LockType = 3
rs.Open()
rs_numRows = 0
rs("ArticleID") = ""
rs("Result") = ""
rs.update
rs.close
set rs = nothing
However I am getting a Type Mismatch error on the rs("ArticleID") = "" line. Where have I gone wrong?

Is it possible to assign javascript variables values to ASP?
e.g. How would I store the following JS variable as an ASP variable in VBScript?
<script type="text/javascript">
var intJavaScriptNumber = 25;
</script>
The problem is I've got about 50 of these variables on a page, and they all need to be used in a simple equation which slows the browser down. If I could get them all into ASP then I could process this server side much more comfortably.

I am bringing in a repeated field from a database and I would like to assign values to radio buttons to be associated with each record. The number of repeated fields will be different for each person, so I cannot enter values for each repeated record. I need a way to assign a variable as well as a value to each record that is being brought in from the database. For instance:
Radio Button Value 3 4 5
Repeated Record 1 O O O
Repeated Record 2 O O O
Repeated Record 3 O O O
I had received some great code from Memnoch, but it created one group for the entire Repeated field, so I was only able to select one radio button for all of the repeated fields. I need to select them seperately and I then need to Request the variable so that i can add, multiply and divide that variable with other repeated variables.

I have a form.htm page where the user enters an ID to retrieve addresses. Then PAGE1.ASP displays the addresses. From here the user selects an address and submits. Then PAGE3.ASP brings back further information. My question is how do I use one field from the address information on PAGE2.ASP to display on PAGE3.ASP? I know how to do it with textboxs and such but cant get RS data to hope page to page. I get no errors or anthing.
On PAGE2.ASP I have :
<input type="hidden" name="CLIENTHIDDEN" value="<%=RS1("CICL_LNG_NM") %>"></td>
On PAGE3.ASP I have:
clientname = request.form("CLIENTHIDDEN")
and to display:
<td class=rt width="110" height="1">Business Name:</td><td width="849" class=rt height="1"><% =clientname%></td>
