In our ticketing system database, some fields may possible contain XML. To display a field for example, I have always used: Code:
<%=(rs_tkts.Fields.Item("CloseDesc").Value)%>
but this does not display the xml code listed. what I should do?
I am using a Relational database for my site and i have the following tables:
FIXTURES, GAMEDATES
the fields in FIXTURES are:
GameDate
Home
Away
(All of the above are numerical fields)
the fields in GAMEDATES are:
DateID(integer)
GameDate(#Date Field#)
What i have done is in the GAMEDATE field in the FIXTURES table i have used the ID number of the date that i wish to assign to that record - using a LEFT JOIN to display the actual date that is pulled from the GAMEDATES table (That which corresponds to the relevant id used in Fixtures)
The problem is that in some of my code i want to display records using sql and sometimes in the where clause i use the following:
WHERE Fixtures.GameDate<=(Date())
obviously meaning WHERE GAMEDATE is LESS THAN or EQUAL to TODAY.
The thing is when i use the join it does not use the where clause and displays all of the records in the FIXTURES table.
Does any one know how to get around this, i have not received any error messages it just isnt displaying the right data
Im comparing values in a field while doing a loop if sAct<>myData(5,i) then At the end of the loop I make the value of sAct equal the current myData
This will work when comparing other fields withing my recordset (so I know the statement works) but it will not work for the field I want to compare. The only difference with this field is that it has null values. Could this be the problem? if so, how do I deal with nulls?
I have a input form with 5 fields. One of the fields is MajorNo and the other is named Description.
I have a reference table in my MS Access database (tblMajor)that lists the major numbers and their descriptions.
I would like to have the description field in my ASP automatically filled based on the major number entered on the form, so the user will only need to input the major number when submitting to the Access table (tblSalesTotal).
I am trying to pass a hidden field value on a form into another field on the
form so that it can then be inserted in the database, to enable me then to
reference that number at a later date.
(The hidden value (1 for example) would then automatically get passed to the
other input field.)
The code for the text field that allows users to type an number into it for
submission to the db is below, but what code do i need within the hidden
field to populate this text field below so that users do not have to type the
number in? Code:
I have being working with making an edit field over the past few days. The edit function is now working fine. The edit fields that i have are for id, subject, notes, timedate.
All of the edit screens are one line text screens. What I want to do now is increase the size of the notes box to a larger textarea type box to make it easier to edit notes. The notes field in the db is a textarea field. Code:
When you select the "Country" field in a Hotmail "get new account" link, the field "State" changes automatically, giving you the correct States that belongs to the chosen Country.

Using asp and mysql, can a text field in the db have a record with asp code in it and then display correctly on an asp page?
My experience is that it does not show anything in the <% %> tags but it shows the asp code when you view source. My coworker wants to make our website database driven and this text field was going to be the page content with html and <% if then else %> statements.
This does not work with php either so is there another field type that will parse server side scripting?
Im wondering if there is any way to add a field into an MS access Table using SQL/ASP..

I have a condition that will run depending if a field in the database is NULL. It will not run at all, and I tried various way to write it but none works so far
'not working

'not working

If assignee = "" Then
If I write assignee to the page then the value of assignee will write if it has a value and nothing if it is null.

this is a problem that is cropping up for the other developer here and i can't seem to find anything wrong. this code has worked for months and then the last couple of days it started sporadically not working. i'm thinking that it has to do with a performance issue but i'm not sure.
i don't use the ado .addnew or .update, so i'm a bit unfamiliar with the workings of it. here is a brief overview of the code.
ordRs.AddNew
... do the field updates
ordRs.Update
order = cint(ordRS.fields("order_id")
the problem is that order sometimes ends up as null, it's not getting the order_id field after the update. like is said, it's sporadic. anyone have any thoughts here?
In a table I have an unlimited number of items - each unique item has it's own unique ID. One of the fields in the table is a Rating field. The table stores records submitted by users for items that they Rate (on a scale of 1 - 5, with values of 10,20,30,40 or 50 inserted in the db). I would like to sort this info and display the five most favorite items among users via the rating scale. In other words the five unique items that have been rated 50 (best) most often.
I'm able to create a record set of all unique items that carry a 50 rating using the statement:
strRated="Select DISTINCT RList.BID FROM RLIST where RList.Rating=50". How do I then use this record set to find the ID's of the five items that are rated most often with the 50 rating and then display those?
Originally, I thought I could use the values 10,20,30,40 or 50 to calculate an average or a total among these records and then display the items with the hightest calculation. At least that was the intention - though I do not know exacly how to accomplish this either.
i am using ASP with recordset I am using nvarchar field and TEXT field in ms sql server
i update it as follows
rs("thenvarcharfield") = request.form("somedata")
rs("thetextfield") = request.form("someotherdata")
rs.Update
at one page it works fine and when i use the same kind of code to update another TEXT field it doesn't update and the I.E. loading bar increases very slowly and the next page never loads someone suggested to use .appendchunk i used rs.appendchunk and i got the error "object doesn't support this property or method" he also said that .appendchunk cannot be used to update nvarchar.
i removed the code to update TEXT field and the page loaded as expected (normally)!
Why one text field worked fine while the other didn't?

I'm trying to build a sort of datagrid control by which i wish to
edit/delete/update data in a table.
Since I'm using foreign-keys for normalizing data in the db I need, when I
add or update data, to display those foreign-keys ID in a user-friendly
manner such as a combobox with values = FK and visible text = Value of the
description field in the related table. Is it enough clear 'till this point?
So I need to detect if a field in a table is related to another field in
another table (i seldom use self-joins, so maybe that would be a limit of my
control but I don't care about that).
Do I have to refer to the Recordset's object OpenSchema method or there's a
better/simpler way to do it?

ive got a table filled by a recordset with a column named "STATUS"
each record is a sale transaction. the status of this transaction is either open or closed. right now the table displays whats in the database as is, but i want to add the functionality to be able to close a transaction from the table.
i was thinking of 2 methods, one would be a check to see if the field = open, and if it is, make that field a link to a small popup that verifies the user wants to close the transaction then does its lil sql thing aand updates the table.
the other way i was thinking was to check if its open and make it a drop down list that will update table when submitted.
im veering more toward the former idea(not a fan of drop downs)
I have a database which has a field called "title". I have made a text input box and set that user submitted text to a variable (call it textvar). How do I say something like this...?
Set rs = conn.execute("Select * from workitem where title contains '" &textvar& "' " )
Of course the word contains is just a guess on my part.. other ideas are "is like". What function/syntax will give me what I want, which is for it to return any title that has the words entered by the user?
