I have a combo box in an ASP page, there are 7 lists total in the combo box, there is another text box on the page and a search button. I want the users to select an item from the combo box and type a keyword and click search.
The combo item and keyword will be used as an criteria to query a SQL database. I'm familiar with SQL connection and running queries but how do I take the criteria and pass on further.
I am trying to search for clients contained within a database using multiple search criteria that the user is able to select using a front end form.
The user is able to select there criteria by selecting one or more check boxes and the results are thus retrieved based on what the user has selected. The search works fine until you try and select multiple client types Code:

I have been thinking about this wee problem for a while now, and usually I figure out what I need to do, but in this case I'm drawing a blank And the most annoying thing is that I don't think it should be that hard! I use this code to search a database: Code:
View Replies View RelatedMy setup is going to be like this:
I have one page that has a few categories on it. When the person clicks on one of the categories it sends the querystring to the next page. That page takes the query string, searches the database and only replies with found results. Thats what I'm trying to setup, I think I'm very close.
I know the request.querystring is being sent properly and receieved properly, because I also have it's name displayed on the next page and that works fine. I know my connection to the database is okay, becasue if I just set it to display the entire database that will display fine.
It's when I try to use the Request.QueryString that was sent to search the database - it returns like it can never find anything. The page displays, no asp or coding errors - just no information.
The database Column I'm trying to have it search is called "Classification". I think that's all the info.. if I'm missing something you need to know let me know. Code:
Does any one know of any good asp database search scripts. What I'm looking for it to search the database on different criteria or phrases. Eg Kane 400 Boiler.
The user could put in kane 400 and it would pick it up, basically something that you don't have to put in the search how it appears in the database, I have worked on this and works fine if you put the exact phrase in, or one work but if i put in kane 400 it does not work. Also if I put % it lists the whole database, this database will hold 10000 > products so want it not to be to heavy etc.
I'm trying to use information that a user enters into an HTML form to search a database. For example, if a user clicks on a check box stating their interests are 'holidays' then this information needs to be used to search the database for entries that match, ie the entry has a category that states it is about holidays.
The entries in the database are linked to pictures that will then be loaded onto a website.
I'm having a problem with a simple search. I have a telephone directory where people can search by first or last name. This works great but when someone tries to search for a name with an ' in it you get an error.
Here's my code for the database connection:Code:
sql = "SELECT Staff.[first_name], Staff.preferred_name, Staff.no_location,
Staff.[last_name], Staff.[location], Staff.business_title, Staff.department,
Staff.phone, Staff.fax, Staff.[email]
FROM Staff WHERE (((Staff.[last_name])like'%"
& Request.QueryString("[search-lastname]") & "%')) "
I'm certain it's just a syntax error so hopefully someone can spot it quick. Using a - in the name search doesn't bring the error.

If a d/b isn't necc, pls. advise on webpages where I can find such ASP-search codes.... TQ!!

View Replies View RelatedIm looking for a means to allow the search criteria provided by a user to be checked against fields in more than one recordset table in a ms access database.
Is there a means within asp to check multiple tables at the same time using one set of criteria? So far the only solutions i've seen to this includes the usage of a list box which dictates which recordset is opened. I would like to avoid this.
I am looking for a asp script, that will do an OR search on keywords in two differant columns in an MySQL database. for example if someone searches for joe bloggs I want to bring back all records that have either of the words joe or bloggs in column one or column two.

how to modify this code or point me in the direction of some other code that will do the same job.

I'm creating a database search page and the table I want to search has fields linked to other tables in the database. For example, the job table has a number of fields, 2 of which are area and job type which are tables in the database. My search page has option for searching by job title, job type and job area (via dynamic drop-down).
Do I need to create a recordset for each referenced for the dynamic drop-downs to work?
I want to have a list of businesses stored in a database. When some one does a search, a list will come up with a few businesses shown according tot he search criteria.

My experience with ASP is limited to one Degree module and I am trying to build a prototype web site. I need pointing in the right direction to what I presume is a common ASP requirement - a ‘second level of user enquiry’. Code:
I have an Access database that I created a query in. The query brings fields from related tables and prompts users to perform a search based on 3 criterias.
NOTE: the prompts can be bypassed by just leaving it blank and selecting OK. So in other words, the user does not need to fill in each prompt for the search to work, it just give them a more narrowed down search if they fill more in...
Now for the ASP part... I want to create an ASP page where the use selects from 3 drop downs. These drop downs are named the same as the field names in my query. How do I get this to work??
Basically, I want the user to be able to select criteria on the asp page for their search and then those that match will be shown. I don't know if form is the best way or another method.
Does anyone have any ideas for good resources or know how to do it?
Example:
The database is of stock homes. User can select sq. footage, price range, home style, # of bathrooms, # of rooms, location, etc.
After user submits criteria those homes that match criteria will show.
i'm looking to select records based on date, the database
stores the date as mm/dd/yyyy time am/pm ie: 08/11/2004 2:42:28 PM and
unfortunately the field is called date
this much I know if i want to select based on date:
select from table where [date]=
it's my understanding that i need to put the name of the date field in
[] in order to prevent it from confusing it with functions etc...
however my problem is this
how do i get it to select records from the month of december i have
tried [date]='12/*/2004' and [date]='::12/*/2004::' and many other
variants that i have read about on various web sites, but it never seems
to work once again the answer is probably not as complicated as i
believe it to be,
