I have been doing adodb connections and using Access2000 for several lightweight websites. I have never had any problem with any of the SQL commands to insert, update, delete, etc.
I can insert a record into a memo field just fine ... up to a certain number of characters (nowhere near the 65K limit). After several hundred characters, the insert fails ... nothing happens ... the execute just idles and no insert is done. Anyone help? I have read about data types, etc., but everything I read sounds as if ASP and Access 2000 are suppose to handle the type conversions. They have been doing it up to this certain size.
vMessageText = "This is a test just to see if it will blow up on a large comment. Just testing again. Don't mind me."
Can I put this into my database field or is it too much and if not, how do I solve this issue. I need to be able to post messages and input for large fields.
I can't print the contents of an Access memo field. Every other field type displays fine but this one.
I saw an old thread saying that you should first assign the memo field to a variable but that also doesn't seem to work (please see the attached bit of code). The memo field is "Message". Code:
I'm using asp to retrieve data from a server and import that data in a client that uses MSAccess, into a memo field. The text hes line breaks 0D 0A (the usual DOS line breaks). However the client sees these line breaks as two squares!
The strange thing is that when I look at the exported text (yes, I also export text from the client to the server), it also contains the same line breaks. So the exported text from the memo field can look exactly the same as the imported text, and before the export the line breaks are correctly shown als line breaks, but after the import that same line breaks are shown as squares! I would like to see line breaks after the import and NO squares.
I am planning to design a database (destined for the web) that will have between 20000 and 45000 records in it and will receive a lot of reads but very very few writes (just from me).
Now the question is should I use:
1) The combination of Access 2000 (accessible through ASP or ASP.NET) using OLEDB Jet
or
2) SQL Server 2000 ?
Of course I know that the SQL Server option is a better one, especially since it's said that an Access DB can have about 9 users or so accessing it at the same time. But is that a general rule or is it about many people writing to the DB? In other words, if an Access DB has hardly any writes and 99.9% reads can it be used as efficiently as it would be used on SQL Server 2000?
if i use the objRS instead of the filecont in the replace function i get the same issue. If I do anything with this field (use InStr, or other menial functions) I get no records can be displayed. The contents field is a memo field within Access, i am wondering if this is causing the issue?
I have an Access 2000 db with a memo field.Into the memo field I put text with bold attributes, URL etc etc
What I need to to is converting the rich text contained into the memo field in plain text.That's because I truncate the string text but if, when I truncate it there's a rich tag the code following the truncated string is corrupted.Don't know if it's clear enough.
Just to summarize:
1) memo field cointaining rich text 2) I need to transform it in plain text
I don't know what i am doing wrong. I have an access database,and One of my fields is Memo format. So when i try to display the information in that field, I was unable to do so, nothing would come up in IE. but the data is there in the fields.something like this.
response.write(rs("description"))
when i changed the field to "text" format, everything worked perfectly fine, ASP was able to display the information stored in that field. But when i changed it back to memo, it would display nothing.is there like a special way of displaying information stored in a Memo field?
I know how to display a text field from an mdb file. You type: <%= CmdPopulateStates("fieldname") %>
where CmdPopulateStates is declared as:
Set CmdPopulateStates = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
But if 'fieldname' was a memo field rather than text field then the information isn't displayed. In fact, if it's anything other than text then it won't be displayed. How do I display other field types?
i'd like to know if there is some way to detect whether a field is of type MEMO (i'm using MS Access) so to behave accordingly placing a textarea instead of a textbox in the UI.
I have several asp pages that display information from an Access DB. Some of the fields are memo fields. If I use simpler queries such as:
SELECT * FROM " & MyTabla & " WHERE " & MyCriteria
the memo fields are retrieved and displayed Ok.
However, if I use more "complicated" queries such as: SELECT " & selecti & " FROM " & MyJoin & " GROUP BY " &grupi & " HAVING " & MyCriteria
the memo fields get truncated after the first 255 characters, i.e. only the first 255 characters are returned, but the fields are larger and get retrieved ok if I use the "simpler" queries!
I have a DSN connection for MySql with Asp. Used Text field[Memo] to store the data. While displaying the data its gives the error,if field is empty. But works well if not empty. So pls help me to check the text/memo field for empty/null. How?
I am using access Memo field to store text of large size. If I use <%=memofield%> in simple display, it does not look like a formatted field and all text comes in a single line without any break.
Even If the text is same like what I am posting in this thread, out come will not have break in browser's display.
i am testing if my memo field (access DB) has anything in it by doing
if isnull(rs("memofld")) then
do this
end if
The script is not picking up a valid value if it is null or not. I have also tried testing for it equalling "" but no lick either.
Read alot of stuff online with people having the same problem but no luck. I have tried selecting the memo field last in the sql query but this makes no difference.
I have a memo field in my recordset that will have varying amounts of text inserted into it from an online form. This is then uploaded to a table cell. At the minute it is just going in one long line across the table. How can I get this text to wrap or line break at a table width of say 500px. Is this an html or asp solution?
I need to be able to retieve variable length (>255 characters) messages which have been saved in a memo field in an access data base on the server. I am using the following code to test this : -
<% set objconn = server.createobject ("ADODB.connection") set objrec = server.createobject ("ADODB.recordset") objconn.open "DSN=daters" strsql = "SELECT DISTINCT messages.* FROM messages WHERE messid = 305 ;" objrec.open strsql, objconn, adopenforwardonly, adlockoptimistic,adcmdtext %>
<%=objrec("text")%>
The message is found and retrieved but truncated to 255 characters as if it were an ACCESS text field not a memo field.
The message which is originally user created on another page, writes in full to the ACCESS memo field. Also, if I download the data, and retrieve the message offline via an ACCESS form, it displays fully. Seems then like an ADO issue in retrieving memo fields Probably my syntax?
I have a Development server that is running Win2k, IIS 5.0, and ASP enabled. I am trying to gain access to an Access 2000 DB located on a file server within my domain. I'm pretty sure I have all the correct permissions set, but I am having problems when trying to access the DB.
The error is similar to:
The Microsoft Jet Database engine cannot open the file '******'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I'm looking for ways to fix this... Microsoft suggests turning off the ability for IIS to sync passwords. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution for me.
Is it possible to create a new virtual server that is a share to my file server? Put my ASP and MDB file in there and have it work? Anyone have any other ideas?
I have an ASP that displays two MS Access memo fields in separate table cells just fine. However when I concatenate them with SQL as in "select fld1 & fld2 as temp...." to display them in one cell only part of the first field is displayed in the table. What is causing this?
Does anyone know of a simple (and I stress simple as I'm a beginner with this asp stuff!!) script to allow for basic functionality of Add/Edit/Update/Delete ASP page which works with an Access 200 mdb. Something I may easily adapt for what I have?? I'm running Windows 2000 Professional with IIS 5.0.
I have created an Access database with an Autonumber field and set as promary Key. When I insert a record from my ASP web page it insists on making me add a value to this field. Is there anyway to set this as an IDENTITY field.
I have an XML file that gets updated every 4 hours on a web server. I can check the XML modification time in ASP and compare to the databse. If it is newer, I need some ASP code to then import the XML into Access. Been trawling the net for an answer for a while .
I have a database which inputs usernames, passwords, and email addresses into the database. I'm trying to create an asp page that lists the data for a specific user when they are logged in so that they can change details (password, email address etc) any ideas how i can retrieve the data and append the new data to the database???
Our graphic designer is developing our new company website. We have switched providers and currently she is working on the new website which currently ressides on the new providers server as they support the ASP development environment. Their server is a Win2K3 server.
She is writing an ASP module to connect to an MS Access 2000 database and is having problems connecting. In this database there is only one table.
She has tried many different connection strings all to no avail and then found from investigating that the best and fastest method is to use the OLE connection string. However, each time she runs the ASP code she gets the following error... Code:
what I want to be able to do it take data from one of my Access 2000 queries and automatically export that to an XML file. then that XML file is going to be loaded with Google Maps API for use. What options do I have in exporting the data in access automatically? would it be just implemented everytime i call the function, lets say an ASP page?
to give a little more (hopefully helpful) information, I want users to go to my site which has the Google Maps API implemented, and it will show them the rainfall and lake level data in my area. I figured XML would be best as I have seen someone implement a similar design in Canada using an XML file, however, I need to be able to get the information from the query in Access so it can be loaded onto the map for people to see recent data. Again, I'm guessing ASP would be the best bet in accessing the data from the database.
I'm using sql server 2000 database and trying to access it using asp. when i installed sql server, i selected the mixed mode of authentication(windows and sql server). Code:
does anyone know of a free utility that allows you to alter/create tables through the web for access 2000. I'm talking about the table/db structure, not creating records.
Could someone highlight any known problems in converting an access 2000 to access 2002 database....should I expect a painful transition or can I expect a quick turnaround time to get my existing 2000 apps into 2002 format?
I have a page which works fine testing locally on my win XP PC, using an access database file. When I place it on the server (all code and database file being the same)... it gives an SQL error :
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E10) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 2
