Building Dynamic Strings From Database Values
We use an ASP application in which we send out emails using cdo for various
events.
At present the email text is hard coded into the code. for example
strMessage = "Dear " & rs("firstname")
strMessage = strMessage & "Your request has been approved with reference id
" & rs("id")
This causes an administration overhead as everytime the text of the message
needs to be changed we need to alter the code to incorporate text or
database values.
What we want is to store the message text into a table so it can be altered
by the application administrators through GUI by adding the text through
freetext entry and field names though a dropdown. Code:

I have a lot of information to fill out on this form. So I'd prefer not to do the submit to itself everytime to rebuild it. I've seen many java script examples on how to dynamically populate a checkbox, combo box etc. but is it possible just to not have the box there at all?
I've seen a .visible=false on spans in aspx, but can you do something similar to this with plain old asp?
Example, i have a combo box, and let's say i select a few options and write a "on change"..... i call a function that makes an attribute .visible false. Is this possible to make a text box disappear off the page without resubmitting the from? If not, any other bright ideas on how to do this one?

I am submitting data to a database field, and the data is being submitted in the following manner to a table in the database:
5,3,4,4,3,3,4,5,4,5,5
It's all comma delimeted. Now, what I would like to do is have an update page in which a user can update these values. I am trying to place the values in a repeated text box that corresponds with a repeated question.
The questions that I am displaying are in a repeated field and each question has a text box that will hold the value that corresponds to. I would like to be able to bring in each value into a repeated text box. Right now, each repeated text box contains the above information. (5,3,4,4,3,3,4,5,4,5,5). Is this possible?

I dont want the image to be repeated though out the region it is in so i have used the following syle sheet code. But i have had to adda an actual image name in. Is there any way to make this dynamic image value or not. And if not is there another way i could create a similar effect? Code:
.image

I am generating between 5 - 15 dynamic checkboxes in a specific database search. The user will at most only select 1-2, maybe 3 checkboxes at a time. Through a form, i want to find out what checkboxes were clicked and get the value contained in the checkbox.
Can any of you suggest a suitable method of doing it? i assume i'd be using a 'for' loop, if i can get a foot up on how i'd go about doing this

A page displays the Product literature that a customer can request to receive by postal mail by clicking a check box. The literature selections are created by a dynamic record set based upon what the company enters into the Literature table (currently 10 selections). The checkbox form tags are:
<input type="checkbox" name="LiteratureID" value="<%= rs("LiteratureID")%>">
LiteratureID is the Access autonumber primary key field. I can use the LiteratureName in the "name" attribute if it is easier.
The form processing page needs to Insert each selection into its own record in another table. This "requested" table also inserts the database ID for the customer that is created after first inserting the customer contact info. In other words the "requested" table needs to record the customer autonumbered db ID and each selected checkbox value.
Here is my current code:

i have list of items as a list.Now user can select any item in that list. Now what i do is create checkboxes to enable user to check the item which has to be selected.
1. Checkboxes are dynamic.
2. I create checkboxes with one name assign value = Itemcode value so that when form is submitted i can get the itemcode value as a comma seperated list and which would be easy for me to put it in a database query.
3. the part i have problem is i have to display those checkboxes ticked back to user , ie after form submit i have to make the checkbox which are previously checked, to be in checked state.
request.form("Chkgroup")="1,4,5,6,9,10"
assume this is an arrray i am getting from form element.what is the easiest and efficient method so that i can make those checkbox checked again.

I am rewriting from scratch some code done by previous programmer on a glossary for our website. I have a database with three fields, ID, Term, Definition and a table called glossary. I need to be able to display everything to the *same* ASP page.
I have already successfully created the db connection and the records display according to the SQL statement, i.e. where Term like 'a%'.
What I would like to do is to display each letter of the alphabet dynamically from the Term field as a hyperlink that will display the terms beginning with that letter, i.e.
A B C D .... Z
The terms would be displayed as hyperlinks and when clicked will display that term and the definition. If A were clicked: Code:

I am having some problems with setting this up. Included in my main index.asp page is an iframe like below:
<iframe src="iframes/iframe.asp" width="425" height="225" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
Basically I want the text in the iframe to change depending on the pid value. (pageID), I have all this set-up previously in my functions page. Except the only way I can see any action is by running the iframe directly and passing the querystring like iframe/iframe.asp?pid=4 and this works fine, but in my main window index.asp it does not change.
I have an idea that when i type index.asp?pid=3 its trying to get the querystringbased on the index.asp not the iframe.asp, so does anyone know how I connect these two up so that my content will change in the iframe held within the index.asp page.

I'm a newb - so if this is a stupid question, my apologies.
I have a simple form that users fill out and then that info is written to a database. What I'd like to do is perform a calcution on a number and then write those numbers to other records in the database.
So for instance, if someone enters 12 in one field1, it would multiply that by 3 and that would be saved as field2, then mulitply it by 45 and that would be field3, then add field2 and field3 and save that as field4.
I was thiking of passing the form variables to a second page instead of writing them to the database, then using variables in the second page to perform the calculations and then have the second page write all the info to the database, but I thought there had to be a better solution.

We have a fairly large datbase containing thousands of part numbers, product names and pricing. We used to update new pricing changes individually by hand. However, now that our database has grown substantially, I'm wondering what the best method would be to keep the pricing current on our database?
We can obtain new price lists in excel format, however, the part numbers the mfgs use may not necessarily coincide with the part numbers we have. Should I just write some SQL script? Look into using XML? What would be the most efficient way to tackle this problem?

I was playing around in FrontPage and I noticed that you could insert an ActiveX control for a calendar. I would like to be able to use this to integrate with a database - for example, I would like to be able to click on a day of the month and have the page display all data associated with that date (sort of a select * from database where date = "date_clicked_on")

I have an asp page that returns a table from my database. Only about 6 columns from the table are shown on this page. I have the ID column set up as a dynamic link to a 'details' page, so a user can view the rest of the record data.
My database has been growing rapidly, and now when the page is run i get the error "page cannot be displayed".
I believe this is due to how large my database table is because if i delete records the page works fine, as it did when the system was first running. Right now there are 4600 rows in the database and will be growing.
How do I fix this problem, I cannot get rid of any records.
Oh yea, and if i delete the line of code that contains the link, the page works fine and shows the entire table.
Here is the code for the link:
<A HREF="details.asp?<%= "JOB_NO=" & rsResults.Fields.Item("JOB_NO").Value %>"><%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("JOB_NO").Value)%></A>

I have a dynamic table asp/vb that is returning records as expected. There are 7 fields that are returning boolean values based on whether there is or is not a meeting on those given days.
My table is returning TRUE and FALSE and all I want to do is create an if or select statement that will detect the values in these fields and change them as follows:
If true, then field = "R" (Wingdings2 R is a checked box)
If false, then field = "T"(Wingdings2 returns a x'd out box)

I have a form that users use to register with the site. On this form there are checkboxes all with the same name but different values. I am creating another page that will allow users to login and edit their information.
Since all the data from the checkboxes are stored on the database under the same field name and separated by commas; how do I dynamically create a set of the checked checkboxes that the user originally entered along with the other checkboxes the user did not click?
