I've got a csv file with names, addresses, emails, etc. I've been asked to randomly select a name from a csv file. I've found plenty of RandNum examples, but I'm not sure how to apply it to these names. Can anyone point out a sample I could use?
View Replies View RelatedI want to select a random record from a table within my Access database, however I am running into problems. When the page is executed, it always shows the same record. Code:
Is this do-able with ASP / VBscript?
-- I have a database with user records (name, photo, etc. etc.)
I want to use asp to generate (on the homepage) a series of 4 randomly selected 'user records' from the database -- say just the headshot photo or name from the database.
In addition to the recordset being randomly generated (i.e. our of about 50 records, only records 4, 18, 23 and 26 are displayed) I need to MAKE SURE they are not duplicated (i.e. out of the 50 records, records 4, 18, 23 and 23 -- where the last two are duplicates).
Is there a way I can pull this off and how do I go about it exactly?
I used to have a piece of code that would generate a random string of
8,16,24 or 32 characters in length.
I got it from this group, does any one have this piece of code?
It will be used for a double opt-in email newsletter.
How could I create a random filename for a single-use download? So, if a user was to download a file from a site it would send them a unique filename that could only be used once. That link would not be available after the download completed.

Challenge :
I get number of participants in an exam, from a sql statement and stored into a variable called headcount.
After that, I am using the following to initialize randomly generated variables. For example if there are 4 students in the class, I intend to get student1, student2, student3 and student4, all of them initialized to 0.
For j=1 To CLng(headcount)
Eval Execute("student" & j & "=" & 0)
Next
Now we are trying to find out question wise defaults in the test. I have a for loop that does traverse through all the questions in the test. As I go question by question, if there is any failure I would like to increment the errorcounter of that participant.

View Replies View RelatedI have a Windows 2003 Server Web running 5 web sites. Every few days, the ASP pages stop responding. There are no events in the event log. The HTML pages are still served successfully. These pages have no database interaction (others use MySQL). I have to restart IIS in order for the pages to work again. I haven't been able to find anything about this issue on the web. Has anyone seen this before? Any idea how to fix it?

View Replies View RelatedWe have 2 copies of our web application - Development and Checkout. We have
noticed that when the QA quys go through our QA version, they will sometimes
find that pages are missing the banners. The banners are created by VI
using the themes and layouts.
All of the other theme/layout information is
fine, and both sites are using identical Site Diagrams. We have even tried
copying the site diagram over from development to QA again and recalculating
the site, and the banners stay missing. Can anyone tell me how to fix this
and what is happening?

Using IIS 5.0 and sometime some asp pages (absolutely
randomly) showing as blank white pages. So far only one
way of fixing it - restart whole server. Restarting IIS,
or specific web server not helping, only whole server.
I enable server side and client side debugging, but no
errors showing up...
In view source pages always look like this:

Any idea why it can happened and how to fix?
I have written some code which should dynamically build a table which is then populated with questionas and possible answers. The format of the answers will vary ie they may be in the form of a radio button which will be rated from 1-5, checkbox or a selectbox.
The first problem I have is if I do not comment out <select></select> I get an error message saying the page can not be found. when I do take it out I get asp timeout. Code:
does anyone know what I have wrong with this select in my form?
<%
sql = "SELECT * FROM [LTAB_CAProcessArea]"
Set ProcessAreaRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
ProcessAreaRS.Open sql, SessionCPRDBConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
%>
<select name="processarea">
<%
Do While Not ProcessAreaRS.EOF
Resonse.Write("<option name='" & ProcessAreaRS("processareaID") & "'>")
Response.Write(ProcessAreaRS("txtProcessArea"))
Response.Write("</option>")
I don't know if this is in the right section. I hope it is.I have an HTML document that uses tables and stuff. I also have a FORM on there with some input boxes, Radio buttons and <select> options.
I have a .asp VB file also that processes the actual form and writes the answered questions to a text file on the server (tab separated)
My problem:
The input boxes and radio buttons work fine. It writes to the text file on the sever end.
My problem is I am not too sure how to go making the answers from the <select> options to also write to the server. They way I have it set up right now, it jsut writes "NULL" on the text file.
I've recently come across using "Select Last" in an sql query. Does anyone have any info or views on using it? Until now I've relied on "Select Max" but Select Last would have distinct advantages when using random autonumbers. I'm also curious about why there is so little info on it - perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places?
View Replies View RelatedI want to display an editable page extract from MS Access table. Now I want to show the value in Select list, extract from another table. Both tables are joinable with the foreign key.
In simplest, I want to extract and display the exact value from a table and show in Select list for edit.
I could not think of any way. I can bring up data and display in Select list but it would display the first value in the list only.

I have these two tables in SQL. Both tables have the same two columns (Description and SiebelName). I want to some how write a script that will look for the descriptions that matches the ones in Table1 with the ones in Table2 and if there are any I would like to take the column in Table2, SName, and update the column in Table1, SiebelName, with that of Table2.
Here's what I attempted to do but it's not working:
--------------------------------
UPDATE tbl_MasterTEST
SET tbl_MasterTEST.SiebelName = Siebel.SName WHERE (SELECT tbl_MasterTEST.ProdDesc, tbl_MasterTEST.SiebelName, Siebel.SDesc, Siebel.SName
FROM tbl_MasterTEST, Siebel
WHERE tbl_MasterTEST.ProdDesc = Siebel.SDesc)
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM mod48 WHERE N_GEN = 5"
oRs.open strSQL,oConn,3
this table has alot of fields. I want it to automatically create alot of Text boxes for each field. But i also need the fields names. The only thing is that the field names in the table are well not very user friendly.
n_gen = General Numer
pa_name = Client Name
pa_surname = Client SurName
So i was wondering is there something i can do. Like a For each that will create alot of tect boxes for each field "with its value in it" and also make it write a description for the lable. Code:
Ik want to select 2 MAX values form one table, but i don't know how that works, and i can't find it anywhere.
This is what i got so far:
sql = "SELECT max(tekstindex), max(volgnummer) FROM menu"
I want to select max(tekstindex) as 'tekst' and max(volgnummer) as 'volg'.
I have a select statement that searches for certain records within a date range entered through a form. what i need to do on another page is count how many records they are and split them into each day within that date range. My original select query is:
Code:
objRSError.Source = "SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT TrapPage, TrapLine, COUNT(TrapID) AS ErrorVol, TrapDescription, TrapASPDescription, TrapCategory FROM dbo.tblErrorTraps WHERE (TrapTime >= CONVERT(DATETIME, '" & objRSError__strFrom & "', 103)) AND (TrapTime <= CONVERT(DATETIME, '" & objRSError__strTo & "', 103))GROUP BY TrapPage, TrapLine, TrapDescription, TrapASPDescription, TrapCategory ORDER BY COUNT(TrapID) DESC"
For instance i do write out such which works.Code:
SELECT TOP 5 * FROM table4 order by id desc
Now how would i select the rest of the records without the first 5.
I have problem, i'm starting using asp and DB
I have query
sSQL = " SELECT count(*) cc FROM ... " &_
" SELECT count(*) ff FROM ... "
Set oRS = oConn.Execute(sSQL)
First count i can get from oRS.("cc")
How to get "ff"?
I have an ASP application.Is it right that I am calling all SELECT's AND DML's through stored procedures and in the ASP page I just call the stored procedure.
I am NOT using COM,i.e.I am not calling the procedures through DLL's but directly through ASP as time does not permit me to add this layer.
tell me is this right and is this a common practise followed i.e.calling stored procedures directly thru ASP without COM.Also,what is the main benifit of using SP than dynamic queries as there are plenty of suggestions dont know what is the conclusion.
how to filter top 10 records from the recordset. In Access I could use "SELECT TOP 10..." but in ASP it doesn't work.
