I need to find out if "fldValPaid" hold anything. I will use it an IF ELSE statement. In payment table a particular record could exist or not. How do I find out by evaluating "fldValPaid" if any record exists or not. I have to find out using "fldValPaid" ...I can not use number of record/record return or any other method.
I need to do a search in ASP on an access database, and I don't need the results, just need to know if any results were found. Tried rs.count, rs,itemcount and several other ideas.
I have a form with three fields.The data from each field is sent to seperate tables in the database. If the user only enters info in one field then I only want that data to be sent. Instead empty fields are being sent to the database.I've tried
i want to count all the records in my database where a certain field is empty.
heres my statement: "SELECT Count(*) As Total FROM table WHERE field1='value' AND field2=' ' "
gives an error. If it not possible. can the next be done: 1 count all the records. 2 count the records where field2='Yes' 3 subtract the two to get where field 2 is empty?
i know it's just something small, but i can't seem to figure it out. i also tried field2 != 'Yes'
I'm listing records from my db and each company has 3 address lines ie address, address2, address3. In most cases 3 and sometimes 2 are empty. As my ASP looks like this
then I end up with the first line of the address and two blank lines. How could I avoid that by checking if the fields have content, only then display them?
In my database table , I have field to store the text, I am tryinf to find the length of the filed in ASP like below
response.write len(rs("cname1"))
It is displaying the value , when the data in the field is nonzero, it is not displaying anything if the filed is mty in table. I cant understand y it is displaying the length as 0 , bcaz i want to compare the length , if the length is zero , it will display one result or else it will display the value.
I so thought I had this down and I was getting excited, but when I ran it, it didn't work. I've tried a few different things and I can't get it to work (not smart enough I guess). Code:
I've been searching for an answer to this for quite some time now and have found nothing, so maybe (hopefully) someone out there will be able to help me.
At my work, we have a lot of folders for different jobs we've done. And right now, we have more than one person making the folders for all the new jobs that we get. I am trying to make a database were it will only show the jobs that have not had folders made. In order to do this, I've created a field titled "Initials". I want the webpage to pull up all the records where the Initials field is empty, but I'm having trouble doing that. I've tried a few different things and have found no success.
I'm not having a problem accesses the database or updating it, just displaying the right information. I'll give a little illustration (because I'm never good with words):
Say I have 3 jobs: Job #1, Job #2, and Job #3. Someone has already made job folders for Job #1, but Job #2 and Job #3 still need to be made. Since Job #1 has been made, that means there are initials in the initials field of the database and thus, I do not want that Job being displayed on the "To Be Made" page. Job #2 and Job #3 do not have initials in the initials field and as such, I want to display those jobs....
I'm getting an error when I'm retreaving from a "text field" in the database and it has no data in it. I'm using MYSQL version 3.23.58-nt. I have the same script running a different system and I don't get this error. It justs output nothing and continues with the loop.
This has to be an ASP problem when retrieving data from the database. I've change the Field for Message to "varchar(252)" vice "text" in the database and stoped giving me error. But I still need to use the type "text" in the database since my "Message" will be longer then 252 caracter. Code:
I have an index.asp page that displays my database items, along with their respective categories. The categories are an include page (left.asp). How can I hide the category if there aren't any items for that category? Here are the 2 pages below....
My products table has a weight field that I need to populate. A bunch of them have it and a bunch of them don't, but I need them all to have one. The weight is the same, 3, for all the records. I also have an Include field in that table. I want to make the weight field 3 for all records where the include field is true (it's a yes/no checkbox in access.)
I'm using Dreamweaver and I can build the SQL statement just fine but I'm not sure of how to loop through this to set the field for each of these records.
I'm writing a database admin page in ASP. I had it adding records correctly. Then I added an autonumber field ("ID") to the table, and it stopped working. The sql I'm using is Code:
How does one return records in a recordset based on a time/date field. If todays date is 8/25/04, how could i return all those records from 8/25/04. Mind you, i have long date format ex. "8/25/2004 4:46:45 pm"
I dont want to user a form for this i simply just want these time- sensative records to be returned in the recordset .
The problem concerns 2 tables, cart_products and cart_shoppingcart.
Cart_products contains all the product data (eg, prices, product's key name, etc), but most importantly, it contains the quantity of stock (prod_quantity) for each item.
cart_shoppingcart contains all of the user's items in their shoppingcart, including those that are part of an (customer) order; these have the order_number to differentiate from those that aren't in any order (their Order_number is 'no_order', the others have the order number).
Now, what I want to do is this:
For every item in the order (ie, every entry in cart_shoppingcart that matches the username and order number), take the quantity (x) the customer is ordering, then take the quantity of stock remaining (y), then subtract x from y to create the new stock level (z) and update the appropriate record in cart_products with z (all this with SQl preferably).
I was thinking of using a Do while loop, but realised that it wouldn't work as I'd have to use several SQL statements and then I'd run into a problem the minute ASP reads "objrec.movenext".
I'm trying to pull the last 5 records from my database.
<% j=5 rs.MoveLast While ((j>0) AND (NOT rs_article.BOF))%> ''Execute HTML and data insertion here
<%rs_article.MovePrevious j=j-1 Wend%>
Everytime I attempt to run this code, I recieve an HTTP 500- Internal Server Error. It tells me no more than that. I know that my connection settings are OK because when I move forward through the database (first five records), the code executes without error. And yes, my Cursor type is Dynamic.
Alternatively, I would also like to know how to add new recordset to the beginning of a database rather than the end.
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 an Access database with two fields that I would like to group by. The two fields are location and department. Field names are "Location" and "DeptName".
I have the code correct for grouping by location. That code looks like this: Code:
I'm trying to deal with a few records in a db that are missing data in one or more fields, which breaks my page, causing a BOF or EOF error, since the recordset is empty. I can check for an initial EOF, before any traversing of the records, but don't know how exactly to bypass execution of the record accessing from there.
I am working with an array that I am populating off my database. However, in some instances the array will be empty. Is there any way to determine an empty array besides ubound = 0 (which might mean 1 record in included)?
users are entering data, but when they submit the form, once in a while request.forms returns an empty string instead of the string its supposed to get. Anyone seen this behavior before? Is there a solution
It works fine, but sometimes the Subject Name field is empty, so instead of a blank space, I'd like to put something like "Empty Recordset" there. Is there anyway to do this with my current code?
How the heck do you work out what is actually in a db field that appears to be empty? I have fields that appear to be empty but do not seem to evaluate to empty or null, so test using IsEmpty or IsNull are useless, I 'm guessing it contains spaces or non-printing characters of some sort but how do I test for these?
This one's probably been asked before but I'm tired of trying to find a solution (if there is one!). I have an asp update page and I'd like to convert all empty fields to NULL prior to updating the Access db rather than permitting zero length fields in the db.
Is this possible? Is there any way to globally declare this for all text fields on the asp page rather than having to do a whole whack of "if then" formats? Is there something I can set in the field's properties in Access that will deny zero length yet won't cause the asp update to choke and return an error?
