I would like to write ASP code to create a custom report for a simply
accounting database. The databse is saved with a .sdb extension. I am
able to access the data via access or excel so I should be able to
connect to it with ASP code. Does anyone know how?
I am simply trying to pass a variable to another page. I know my second
page can do Request("str") to retrieve that variable, but how do I pass it
in the first place?
I tried Server.Execute("P2.asp?str="hello") but I get errors.
I tried Response.Redirect("P2.asp?str="hello") but the variable is empty
I tried setting variables like you would in VB:
str="hello"
Server.Execute("P2.asp")
and hoping the second page would pick it up, but I don't know how to make
that str variable global.
I am not using forms, I am not using cookies, I was told not to use Session
or Application variables, it's a variable being passed just the first time a
page is accessed, after that links will send the variables.
I have moved my database from an sql2000 server to an SQL7 server I am trying to connect to the database using windows authentication (no need for username and password) but I keep getting this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I have already created a DSN driver named "projects" to point at the server
This is the code I have used:
set con = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
' Use the object to open the inventory ODBC DSN
con.Open ("dsn=projects,"",""")
Can you please help me set it up?
I have set my sitein the following directory "C:InetpupwwwrootShevi"
In this I have all my html and asp files.I also have a database called "guest.mdb"
I use this code to connect to my database and read and write..But it doesn't work..Sometimes it
just shows the records in the databse but when I try to submit a new record (through a form) it gives me errors.
set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & server.MapPath("sheviguest.mdb"))
set rs=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.CursorType = adOpenKeyset
rs.open "SELECT * FROM Guestbook", Conn
Is the part in blue correct? If not tell me how

The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I'm having trouble with a connection to my database. Which I think its the connect, because I can't see information from on database in my table.

"FROM Fiction " %>

my company is having me design a website for them and I did it in ASP (Classic), with the backend database being SQL Server 2000. I open the connection just fine, and everything seems to work but there's just one problem:
It only connects to the database when I'm logged in as Administrator on the machine (or from a remote machine); if I use my own username/password, I get a 500 Internal Server Error. What's funnier is that if I set IIS to allow anonymous access, it won't let ANYONE connect to it.
Any ideas what's the problem? I think it's something with the connection string (I told it to use a Trusted Connection because otherwise it was saying "[Username] is not associated with a trusted SQL Connection), but since I haven't used SQL Server in the past it might be something with that, as well.
How do I create the connection from my local host webpage to my database on the web? Maybe with a dns connection but how?

I've tried a couple of strings, but it can't connect to my database.What's the connection string?
View Replies View RelatedI have these two line of code
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
obj.Open "bmtb"
Now I understand that "bmtb" can be a server-side include file and have information
including a path to the database. The connection works fine, but for the life of me
I can't seem to find the SSI anywhere in the project. By the way this is someone else's project I have become responsible for. where the file could be hidden? It's not under "bmtb". Is it possible bmtb is some kind of ASP keyword? (grasping at straws here).
I have the requirement of connecting to the client database from web server.
Tech spec: ASP, JavaScript, SQLSERVER
I've been setting up an off the shelf access website, in order to install SSL it requires me to copy over some checkout pages to a seperate SSL webserver on another domain. However those scripts need to connect back to the database on the non SSL server to pick up order and customer information.
Its a DSN less connection;
pDatabaseConnectionString = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" &server.MapPath("iis617domainsddomain.comuserhtdocsfolderd atabasedatabase.mdb")&";"
This of course only works for scripts on the same server, is there a way of connecting to a database on another server? does it require a complicated path, or additional files or what not.
I've got a database on my web server and when I create the connection using a custom connection string within Dreamweaver, it connects with no problems. However, Dreamweaver then doesn't see the tables in the database. I know there's an issue with SP2 and Dreamweaver but I've installed the patch and it hasn't made any difference.

After many hours trying I've found this to be an impossible task when the database is open by another user or is running as a service on a server.However, if you need to do this I've come up with a method.If you add some code to the exclusive database that exports the data to another database every hour then you can access the data that way.
Fair enough, it's not live data but if you do it on the hour every hour then you know when it's been updated.I'm just about to work on the VBA for Access.
