What i'm looking for is an asp function which automatically runs every day at e.g. 12:00 AM and then updates a database. So no user or external event is involved to trigger the function. It operates stand alone. Hope there are some code examples available.
View RepliesMy experience so far is limited to VBA in Windows based apps like Access, Excel etc.
Is ASP event driven like Visual Basic?
If so, can ASP cause the server time to be input into a field on a double click event?
Is there any way to add a automatically date/time when a page/script was last updated? The page is not driven on a db

When the Form is submitted I use the Date() and Time() functions to put the date and time into the Body part of the e-mail. The time reported is three hours earlier than the time at which the Form is actually submitted.
I understand these functions are evaluated on the server so the server must be in a time zone three hours earlier than where I am . Is there any way I can get the local time at the location where the user is actually located. ?
I want to make a function that connects to my mysql database and ranks the users who have achieved the most points during that day. How would I structure something like this?
View Replies View RelatedI guess a web server can be configured in many different ways around the
Globe, I know the Date() Function can show several different shapes. But
will the Time() Function in vbs always return 6 numeric characters, like
15:12:04.
(Hours:Minutes:Seconds.) If this is so then I could rely on this
in my code right? Or should I expect Seconds:Minutes:Hours, or perhaps
4:3:12. I know I can use the FormatDateTime Function if the answer to my
question is negative.
Can anyone think of a short piece of code which does he following:
-------------------------------------
if Current Time is LESS THAN 19:30 then Write: Open For Business
Else
Write: Sorry - Closed
-------------------------------------
and
-------------------------------------
if Current Time is Between 12:00 and 14:00 then Write: Away to Lunch
Else
Write: Open For Business
-------------------------------------
It's actually for a call centre app, just the above scenario is much easier
to explain.

View Replies View RelatedIf I want a message to show on the 3rd Friday evening and Saturday early morning of each month, is there a better way than the code that I use...
aztime = dateadd("h",-2,now())
If (day(aztime) => 14 and day(aztime) =< 21) and ((varDayOfTheWeek = 6 and dhour => 15) or (varDayOfTheWeek = 7 and dhour =< 2)) then
my message here

The only month it would fail in 2008 would be June, so I was hoping there is code that would just deal with the 3rd Friday or Saturday of the month.

View Replies View Relatedi ve a problem thats regarding the data retrieval from database.I m storing data in the microsoft access database by writing query in the asp page..and the number of characters is exceeding 255.so the datatype that i ve chosen is memo...

i have a table with sno, userid, name, age, level
where level means the type of grade a person has like A,B it may even be Numbers on a scale of 1 to 5
the sno is declared as a rowid datatype
if i want to update any record i have to give the existing userid ( primary key ) and even update the primary key if there are no duplicates (obviously)
so when the userid is entered i am selecting the rowid where userid = request("")
and storing that rowid value in a variable to perform update operation in the next few steps
i am getting a type mismatch when i am doing the assignment
is there somethin wrong in the code ( that i need to check again ) or that sort of assignment cant be done
( i am still tryin to get it right as i write this thread )
i have one more ques: does the rowid value remain constant that is when i do a delete operation on one row and then subsequently a update operation on another row in the same table will the rowid's get mixed up and mess up my data.
Is there a way to perform multiple actions on a SUBMIT with ASP?
Example, I have a submit button that when it is pressed, it performs an action where information is stored in the database using a stored procedure. Can I also write out a flat file of the information saved separately or something parallel without hendering the original submit? I would want to do these two requests at the same time on the submit. Is it possible? Can someone give me some guidance on this?
I am making request to my asp page as

I dont get id value = %aaa
instead I get some garbage value...
is there some kind of encoding required when % is involved in querystring...

This is the code I have so far:
I take the email address and split at the "@" symbol. Then I split at the "." sign to get the firstname and lastname.
Most of the times, the email address is of the format:
FirstName.LastName@company.com
However at times, the email address can be just firstname@company.com
At such instances the code fails, how do I check for the instance of . before I split it again?
Access db, one table, 12 or so fields (id, item_name, category, manufacture, price, description etc.)... (ecomm site).
When displaying the details of a particular item I want to display "related items" below it. All I do now is pull info depending on the item id then display the size, dimensions, description, photo etc.
Lets say the item is a Large Blue Widget, i want to display related items... say "Large Widget Covers" or/and "Large Widget Accessories"... you get the idea... cross selling
So, I am looking for ideas on how to simplify the display of related items.
I am designing a Web site with about 500 - 600 pages of festivals on it and would like opinions on two ASP subjects. I have designed about 20 pages or so as of now. These are the contact us, FAQ, about us pages and such. I also have a template to go by for each festival's page. But I have two problems I need fixed before I start to replicate.
(1) SSI and styles - There are four sections to each page. I use SSI (ASP virtual version) for the top, bottom and a small section of featured festivals (which is above the bottom) on each page. Between the top and featured festivals is the actual page. This way I can change a link on the top or bottom and it is fixed on all pages.
But, I have an enormous amount of styles listed (all styles on four pages) in the code from each page's fonts. Each page's styles are called something different. For example, the festival page itself has the styles as normal, ".style1." But the styles on the top the links, which once again is an ASP include, would be called ".style1top." I used that approach because .style1 on the festival page and top links could be different.
It works, but I have dirty code and I want the site to be as Google friendly as possible. I have thought about adding all the styles to a page and using it as an ASP include on all pages, but that would have way too many styles each page and be even dirtier. What is the best practice for this? Code:
I have a database related problem:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''087,'1075654'
This is a mobile number I entered in a form. 087 is the cusMobilePrefix,
1075654 is the cusMobileNumber
why is there a double quotation mark at the beginning of the number and none at the end?
I dont get it. If i leave the ' in i get a data type error and if i leave them out i get the above error. Below is my ASP file: Code:

But when the same application is opened in winxp i have a strange problem coming. When i add a new list , then it checks for the name and what happens is every time i add a new one and even if there is no matching record or matching name avialable for that record, javascript popups saying "Favourite List Name Already Exists" and the strangest part is the insert part also working. That is both if and else part are working together. I am getting this problem only in XP. Code:
Do you think it's posible to DISABLE a checkbox and the value associated with it, based on the DATE apearing in one of the columns in my database? Example,

I have a MS Access database composed of a few related tables. I'm trying to link this with a website so that new data may be entered remotely via the website. I am using MS Frontpage, which has a simple wizard for this, but the wizard does not allow for updating multiple tables from the one web form. I have started learning ASP and VB, but all the books don't really discuss adding records to several related tables at one go. How do I do this?
Conceptually, I understand that you can't have a new record in the child table without a corresponding record in the parent record. It there a way of submitting several forms to the same record by 'indicating' which parent record each field is linked to? Is there a simple scripting code ? Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated, or just point me to where I might find the information I need?

We are working on an old asp project and we noticed that some users get
kicked out of the session right after they log in.
I investigated the issue and I found the cause:
1- The user login successfuly.
2- He gets redirected to the menu screen. that's when I set some
cookies to cookie("cookie name").expires = Now. that when the session
starts to disapear, once the user tries to access other pages (or even
refresh), the ASPSESSIONID cookie disapears.
I did some debugging on the http_cookie collection and looks like the
ASPSESSION disapears once I set the cookie expiration, although I set
the expiration for cookies unrelated to the ASPSESSIONID.
Here is the tricky thing, it works on 90% of the machines, and it
doesn't on other machines, it's also random, so some users who had the
problem, are now able to work on the system and the problem disapeard.
Have you guys ever had this problem, or do you know if it is related to
IE batches or service packs?
