Formatting Database Results
I have a query that i have been having trouble with for some weeks and i am desperate to get working.
What i want to do is construct a statement from the values i pull from the database.
for example, i have 2 rows in the database, one field, called dbValue that has the values "Value 1" and "Value 2"
I want to pull the values from the database and construct an if statement like the following
if testing = Value 1 OR Value 2 then
else
end if
Could someone please help me out, the values have to be pulled from the database as they will be dynamic.

I've got a date/time field in the format "9/2/2007 8:00:00 PM" that I'm pulling from my db as part of a query.
My problem is every once in a while I get a time that is 00:00:00 AM (right at midnight) and then my results display only the date with the time blank because it was all 0's. Is there a way I can force it to show the time even when its midnight?

The following takes from the database a list of date and displays them in a table on an asp page
...........
<td align = center><font color = "black" size = 2><b><%=trim(rs.Fields (2))%></b></font></td>
..............................
however it displayes it in this format: May 12 2003 12:00AM
Is there a simple way of getting it in the mm/dd/yyyy format without reading it in as a string first? I mean can I just change something in the above code to do this?
I was trying the following but couldnt get it working, could you tell me how to use it in this context? Code:

I used the following code to replace them:
response.write Replace(rs_classes.Fields.Item("DESCRIPTION").Value, VbCrLf, "<br />")
But ran into the problem that when the field is blank, I get an error that shows a problem w/ the "replace" function.
So I tried the follwoing: Code:

As i write this post i have a variety of options to format my post such as bold, changing font, font colour, font size, putting text into paragraphs etc.
I am able to then preview all of this by clicking on "Preview Post". When i click on "Submit New Thread", my post gets stored inside a database (fully intact with paragraphs.)
I would very much appreciate anyone that can point me to script (prefferably ASP and javascript) to be able to do all of this including storing all the text fully intact (paragraphs) inside an access 2000 database.

I am pulling legislation information and expiry dates from an access database and posting to the web. The expiry dates in access are formatted as Month Day, Year (EG.. January 1, 2006) But when they are pulled from the database to the web, they come out as 01/01/06. I know that the format we have in access is simply a mask, however we require that format be carried through.
This is likely a simple solution, however I am new to ASP and can't seem to locate any information on this. I have searched the forum for related info on this but can't find anything that relates to my specific situation.
Here's the code we are using so far...
Code:
<%
Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 'i.e. carry on looping through while there are records
Response.write "<tr><td>"'open row and first cell
Response.write Recordset("Legislation")
Response.write "</td>"'close first cell
Response.write "<td>"'open second cell
Response.write Recordset("Repealed")
Response.write " "
Response.write Recordset("Expiry_Date")
Response.write "</td></tr>" 'close row
Recordset.MoveNext 'move on to the next record
Loop
%>
I have also found and implemented the following code:
Code:
dt=recordset("Expiry_date")
dt=Month(dt)&"/"&day(dt)&"/"&year(dt)
response.write(dt)
This lets me change the positions of the numbers, but I can't figure out how to make it display the full month name and full year.

I'm not sure if this is possible or not, but I thought some one here should be able to tell me how it can be done. I'm building a site that will allow people to enter information about their company into a database, the information is then displayed in a profile page for them. They can enter things like news and events. This all works fine and dandy, but now I have had an idea.
Is it possible to be able to publish something for each company so that they can display the same information on their own website? I am thinking it would be something similar to an RSS feed.
Has anyone done anything like this before? The site right now is ASP with a MSSQL backend. The sites that will be posting the published information may be a variety of hosting platforms, if a certain platform is required then we will make it as a requirement.

I’m having an issue saving/reading an xml file.The source of this file is a the parameter of an object. Through the UI the user can change the value (xml string) of this parameter.
The problem is that the parameter needs the xml with > , < , and " instead of the > , < , " chars. However when I save it, the xml dom and even the fso save it with the actual xml chars. Other than a literal search, is there an easy way to convert the file to have the special chars?

I have users typing in information into a text box. Sometimes this information can be lengthy and contain simple formatting such as spacess between lines and line numbering. For example:
1. List item number one
2. List item number two
I then have a report page that prints out this information. Unfortunately, the line spacing doesn't show up in the report. It's just all jumbled together. I'm just using <%= Notes %> to show the db field. Is there a way that I can show the formatting that was originally entered or do I need to use some kind of word processor like I am using to type this post?

I would like to know how to format phone numbers and ssn numbers in textbox. That is when I enter the phone number, it is going to the database as 000,000,0000. I want to have it as either 0000000000 or 000-000-0000. Likewise, for ssn also. I am really fed up with javascript, somehow, it doesn't work well for me. Always, get page errors and it is not that easy to find out the errors in javascript.....

I'm developing in ASP/VBScript using DreamweaberMX, w/ an Access 2000 DB as the
data source. The source of the data is coming from a third party, which I get as
a CSV and import into the database, updating it weekly.
Since I have no control over how the data is collected, I'm not sure how to fix
this problem, but here it is.
This is a database of movies and among the many fields I import is one for the
movie's length, expressed in HH:MM:SS. This comes into the Access DB as a
Date/Time format, which means all the dates, displayed raw in the DB, look like
"12:09:52 AM". Through data formatting, however, displaying it to the client as
HH:MM:SS is no problem. (Display "12:36:00 AM" as military time (00:36:00) tells
me the movie is 0 hrs, 36 minutes, 0 seconds long. Follow?)
But in an update form, which we'll use to correct errors (and there always seem
to be errors in the running times of movies), I can't figure out how to display
it in the HH:MM:SS format in an INPUT field and have it submit without throwing
a data type mismatch error. It seems to want to display as "12:36:00 AM"
Converting the field to a text type is out of the question at this point, so I
know I need to do some type of string manipulation prior to update. However, I'm
lost ...
Any ideas?

When e-mailing invoices and estimates, is there any way to customize the
presentation of the e-mail beyond changing the message? Specifically,
I'd like to add some html so the receiver can click on a link to pay
online. As it is, I can type the URL in the message, but it appears only
as text to the reader, not a hotlink, which, unfortunately, is quite
vexing to some of my clients.
It would also be nice to add a company logo, etc. to the email body.
On this same subject, is it possible to send the entire invoice/estimate
as HTML rather than an attached PDF? I haven't seen these options
anywhere.

I'm currently doing some work with ASP and XML DOM.
Is there any way when saving XML to get ASP to save it in a formatted way? Similar to PHP's formatOutput setting? At the moment my xml is being appended on line e.g
<test>1</test><test>2</test>
Is there a setting to get ASP to save XML like:
<test>1</test>
<test>2</test>
The XML document I'm working on is fairly large and its proving very difficult to read through the xml at the moment.

The variable I need to include is
Code:
rs.Fields("ImgURL")
Would someone please be able to show me the correct formatting for this Javascript string which includes the variable.

Is it possible to have line feeds/breaks automatically entered when the text wraps to a new line? I am using a <textarea> input on a form and using the <pre> tag when displaying the text to a html page (embedded in a .asp page). The text is being saved to a sql database. Returns seem to be displayed. But the wrapped text just displays as one long line.

Here's the code I am using. Perhaps somebody can help me find a way to
modify it.CODE
response.write "<table width='100%' cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0>"
if not oMain.eof then
count = 0

I am trying to display dates in a spreadsheet, but the dates need to be in a
format that will allow them to be sorted in Excel. The datatype in the SQL
Server database is datetime. In this case, I need to display the date only,
not the time. But I don't want to change the datatype in the database
because the time is used in other places.
So what I am doing is pulling it out of the database, then modifying it in
ASP/VBScript by using the datevalue function. This results in values such as
3/31/2006, 4/3/2006, and 4/14/2006. The problem is, the ones with the
single digit date (4/3/2006 in the sample data I just listed) messes up
Excel's sorting capabilities. How can I force the dates to display in a
2-digit date format? It would probably be good to do the same for the month.
