This is a date conversion function that works with MS Access, MS SQL Server, or MySQL.
It handles short dates (5/5/2005) and dates with timestamps (5/5/2005 23:59:59) that are usually generated with the now() function or dates from HTML forms.
It also handles direct SQL queries and the .AddNew() recordset function.
Example call using a direct SQL query which requires delimiters: Code:
Inserting into an Access database using the above script generates this
error :
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Syntax error in date in query expression '#20031021 20:36#'.
Using SQL : UsersTable SET UpdateTime=#"& dbDate(Now())&"# .....
If YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss is a universal date, why is it rejecting it?
If I change it to YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss it then becomes valid. Is this valid
in all situations, or am I doing something wrong in the first step?
I'm learning ASP with a database in Access (new to Access also). I have created my tables and all but I'm stuck on how to query the table. I'm familiar with sql statements, so I was wondering if you can access the database the same way as with php and mysql. I.E.
Code:
Select * From Table Where id = 5.
Something like that, or will I need to use
Code:
objRS.Filter "ID = 5"
I guess the main question is does Access accept SQL statements and if so can you give me some examples as to querying the database.
I am working on ASP and SQL Databases. I have written the code . the program is very simple . its just an application form and u will be having upload and submit button . So after the data is being entered , the submit button code should be invoked and the data entered should be stored in the database.
View Replies View RelatedI'm having Difficulty understanding the concept of retreiving information from a database upon user request. E.g i have an ASp page that has a form with 3 drop down boxes and a submit button.
I want the next page to bring results from the database that meet the criteria set upon by the 3 drop down boxes. The DB is Access and its already got the information in it, i just want the correct information to come up in tables once the user has selected the choices in the drop down boxes.
If i upload an ASP page that is connected to an MDB (Access) database to my FTP server, is there any way that I can ensure that no one can download the database and that it remains "untouchable".

I'm trying to design a simple website with 2 dynamic searching functions. The first is the user enters text into a search box, clicks on the search button and then connects to a sql or access database and brings back those records that are LIKE the search phrase. It's my intention to then have a detailsview link on the searches so the user can drill through.I'm designing an online version of my catalog so that the user can browse by page. I also want the user to enter a page number and then click go and that would then take the user to the corresponding page in the catalog. I'm guessing I'll need to declare If 1 then open page1.html, if 2 then open page2.html.
I know I'm close but not close enough and my knowledge has been well and truly stretched and I must have read and read my Dummies book about 20 times over the last week.
For my ICT (computers) project at college I'm using an Access database, and I now have a problem with that. Basically the way it works is that the user enters their details in a form page (here). This then does the usual thing; runs a script which inputs the data into a database and then displays a thank you message.
the problem I'm having is that whenever I input punctuation into the form, it refuses to work; it comes back with a 500 server error. This is understandably quite irritating, as I'm setting up a mailing list that needs to incorporate a list of email addresses
My hosting account gives me a lot of MySQL databases but I usually just stick with MS SQL Server because it gives me fewer troubles.Now I want to challenge MySQL again. I use connString "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=myserver; DATABASE=mybase; UID=myID;PASSWORD=myPwd; OPTION=3"
And the conn and recordset objects connects smoothly with the database. I can even get the things i want out of it. But every time I try to update the database such as:
rs("Content")="Cool"
rs.update
'or
names=array("Content")
values=("Cool")
rs.update names, values
It just wouldn't work...why? Content field is a text field.

I'm trying to pull information from two different databases, use it, and then put it back into a database. The program I am writing is one which will keep track of exempt employees' absences. At the end of the year, employees get to rollover the sick days that they do not use. Herein lies the problem. The information on how many sick days an employee is in an AD download on one server. The information on how many days that employee has taken this year is on another. I need to take that information do a little math, and then add those days into a different table on the same server that the absences came off of to keep track of their "sick bank".
I would like to just Loop the information, but I cannot put recordsets inside recordsets and I cannot create a view from two separate servers, so I am at a stop sign. Can I just take all of the users and the amout of sick days they have and put them in a text file and then pull off of the text file? I'm not quit sure how to do this.

I'd like to create a class file for a shopping cart that I'm working on but I'm not sure about how to use the database with it.
Do I connect and open to the database inside the class or outside of the class and set the properties?
I'm thinking that if I open and close the database with say a getItem() method and I have 15 items to get, I'll be opening and closing a connection 15 times. Isn't that bad?

View Replies View Relatedhow to create one for a website, I have at present setup an access database (although there isn't anything in it yet), hosted it on my windows server, and it's now active, what I need to do now is to create a form that will call specific data from it and display that information in an asp page.
I know not everyone likes DreamweaverMX 2004 for creating asp pages but for now until I get a hang of it I wish to use it, I am creating my pages using the ASP VBScript template from Dreamweaver, I have created a database connection within it (I believe it works).
I need a quick lesson on how to create the form, retrieve the specific data and publish it on an asp webpage, I have purposely left the database empty for this lesson, another reason for leaving this database empty is because I have access to a ASP.Net Enterprice Manager through the ISP, there are many fields on this that I don't understand so if anyone knows how to fully use this it would be appreciated.
