I have an Access database with a number of tables (who doesn't?)
I am planning to use the "Description" of a table for keeping track of some information at the Table level.
Would anyone know of some code to retrieve that information programmatically in ASP?

If you were to Google "Sears," (or other big names), Sears' website pulls up first. Beneath the link is a description that Sears includes in the "description" META tag. That I understand and know how to do.
However, after the description are four other links: Baby, Clothing, For the Home, and Computers & Electronics. How would I modify HTML/ASP so that sub-descriptions to pull up in a search engine for my sites?

Ok the kid who put together my shopping cart did a pretty good job. Each item is housed in a SQl db table, however I one problem..
The description field can only carry a max of 1024 char and is a NVARCHAR.
Should I...
A. just add three more fields to the db of the same type and add 3 more text boxes to my eidt product page and pull all 3 out when i build the page?
B. Change the current DB type to something other than NVARCHAR?
C. Find some other way to store my descriptions that I have not yet even realized could be done?
anyone have any ideas... Im no guru, but I know enough to get myself in trouble. heehee 1024 is not even close to enough room on some products. Some of them I need about triple that space easy.

Where in an asp file do the meta name="description" content="description"
and meta name="keywords" content="key words " go?
Is it similar to where they're located in html? the top of my file looks like this (below), is it correct?
<% Response.Buffer = True %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0.11 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>
<title>testPage</title>
<script src="java.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<meta name="description" content="description" >
<meta name="keywords" content="key words " >
<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

Ok let me explain what I am trying to do as easily as I can. I have a table in my access database that I am connecting to. I select a specific id number using my SQL statement. Now what I am trying to do is scroll through that records row and get the column name of that column along with the value of that cell. I hope that isn't to confusing. Now I'm not sure whether this would be done using ASP or done in my SQL statement. Code:

How do you get the description of fields in an Access database? I really need this and can't find it anywhere....
It would also help if someone showed me how to get the datatype and other info (like if it's a Yes/no or True/False field).
What is the resource/doc for this so I know where to look before asking from now on?

Ok i'm self taught with regards to ASP so not great etc, so sorry if this is a really basic question..
On the last line here i'm trying to some how get it to call the last ID entry...
ImageID = Request("ID")
If (Len(ImageID) = 0) then ImageID = "1"
If Not IsNumeric(ImageID) Then ImageID = "1"
If ImageID = "0" then ImageID = "1"
If ImageID>3 then ImageID = max(Len(ImageID))
This is basically for some max min links for a online comic here's what it links to
<a href="default.asp?id=<%=ImageID-1%>">< Backwards</a> -
<a href="default.asp?id=<%=ImageID+1%>">Forward ></a> -

I need to set up an HTML table or the like, with 4 columns.
Each column needs to have a header with a FRIDAY (dd/mm/yy) date.
i.e. this weeks Fridays date is 16th Feb, the following is 23rd Feb
etc.
So, I need column 1 to be headed 16th Feb, col 2 to show 23rd Feb etc.
As this week passes, the dates need to move up 1 week, so that next
week, col 1 will display 23rd Feb and so on.
These headers need to change according to the date.
Please can you advise how I best achieve this ?

we have a requirement to freeze the column and row column heading... so that when the user scrolls to the right the first two columns ( I refer them as "row headings") will stay and the remaining columns scroll left and when the user scrolls to the bottom the first row stays ("column headings")and the remaining rows will scroll up.. This can be easily accomplished in EXCEL by freezing the itersecting cell... How can the same be accomplished using HTML tables /ASP code.... Is there any Active X control available that can be used to accomplish the same?Our technical env is ASP and Oracle DB

If I have several fields:
a | b | c | d | e
and the original SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY a ASC ".
I want to place links to b, c, d, e to make the table of results to show by ascending order of b (or , c, d, e).
do I need to place an "if/ end if" in the sql or do I put some statement in the paging?
example
a (ORDER BY a ASC)| b | c | d | e
1 | 3 | z
2 | 2 | y
3 | 1 | x
4 | 5 | w
5 | 4 | v
to
a | b (ORDER BY b ASC)| c | d | e
3 | 1 | x
2 | 2 | y
1 | 3 | z
5 | 4 | v
4 | 5 | w

I have an asp page which the user enters a time(e.g. 12:21). I need to insert this time into a SQL Server DB, which has a smalldatetime column.
I have tried everything I can think of (such as CDate, TimeValue, FormatDateTime etc) to convert the time string, into a valid time. However, the insert always try to insert a datetime datatype (e.g. 12/12/1899 12:21:00).
I am trying to process the insert through ado, eg:
objRS.AddNew
objRS("Field1") = strText
objRS("DateField") = dteValue
objRS.Update

I use this code to dynamically create a column in a table...
strSQL = "CREATE TABLE (FirstName TEXT(30), LastName TEXT(20));"
conn.execute(strSQL)
This will create two text columns. How can I create some YES/NO columns
instead of TEXT columns?

Is there a way to have a piece of repeating information display in multiple columns like a phone book? I need to display a list of contract numbers which will link to the actual contract.
There is no other information to display and it would be better if I could display 3 or 4 columns on the page like a phone book. Hope that makes sense. I am using Dreamweaver and it's and Access db if that helps.
