Re-writting For DBASE IV
I have stolen code from another thread in this forum that I am attempting to modify. The original code uses a Microsoft Access database file but I can't create one cos I don't have Microsoft Access. Instead I am using Microsoft Works to create a dBASE IV .dbf file.
This is the code i have attempted to use but it doesnt work. Code:
Dbase Remains Open

I have a Parks Database where anyone can see a complete list of parks we have. What I would like is for people to be able to sort this list by certain parameters, one of them being a "District" parameter, but could conceivably be parameters such as Sort By "Playground" to see a list of Parks with Playgrounds.
Is there a way for me to do this via some sort of hyperlink to the "District", that if it's clicked on, does a new form (Maybe a form named sortViaDistrict) within the same page? I'm not too sure how to do something like this. Code:
ASP: Update Multiple Dbase Rows?
I've got a little user poll system and I'm trying to create an 'edit' form. The form relates to 2 database tables, one holds the poll details (title, start date, end date, etc) and the other holds the answers/options (answer_id, answer, etc). I've successfully setup the form so it updates the poll details but I can't work out how to update the answers? Code:

View Replies View RelatedInserting Strings Into An Mssql Dbase
The scenario is that the user enters a description of a special offer into a text box and then can add that record to a database field using the insert method of asp. However, an error occurs if the description has any apostrophes in. For example,
special offer 1: andy's prize plums
could cause an error because the insert looks something like this
"insert into offersTable(offerDescription) values (' " & request.form("description") & "'"
is there some way to escape all naughty characters so they don't cause a problem. Any suggestions very welcome.
Duplicating Dbase Entries In Seperate Dbases
I have a dbase containing login details for 21,000 members. I also have a
forum that I am about to implement.
When the user gets to the main site, he has to login (this is done by
checking his credentials against DB1) When he is logged in, all his details
are stored in session variables. Clicking on the forum link will take him to
the forum where he has to log-in or register. Currently, the forum checks
cookies to see if there is a valid name and password and then checks these
against it's own DB (herein called DB2) or requires the user to
login/register
I plan to modify the forum so that the login is bypassed and the forum
accepts the current session name and password as the login. (This is so that
all names on the site main site, chat, forum etc are uniform, i.e Dave47 in
a chat room, is Dave47 in the forum, is Dave47 in the members area etc)
so...what I need to do (if you're still with me) is.
When a new user registers on the main site, his details are put into DB1
*and* DB2. , can I have two data sources open at once?
The reason I need two DBs is that the information in DB1 is a lot less than
is needed by the forum in DB2.
Also how can I copy selected fields from DB1 (name, password for existing
users) into DB2? like I said..there's 21,000 and to do it manually would
take forever.
Storing Complete Dbase Conn In Application Object
I am currently working on a small asp application. Now I would like to store the complete database connection in the application object. Note I want to store the connection NOT the connectionstring. For that purpose I wrote a small asp include which connects to the dbase and stores the connection object to the application object. However when I use this include in my pages then it doesnt work. What I am doing wrong? Here is the code:

Converting Smart Quotes, Etc.
I've got a situation where I need to be able to replace "smart quotes" and similar characters that are created (presumably) by Microsoft Word. If you don't already know, smart quotes are those "curly quotes" that curl or angle in toward the text on each side. Here is an example, though I'm not sure how it will display in a browser: “
I thought I had just used a standard replace function in the past for these things, and that seemed to work when the text was coming from a form. However, now I am receiving them from a scraped web page, which I have retrieved using ServerXMLHTTP. In this case, a standard replace is not working.
I've noticed that when I use Server.HTMLEncode on the text, both left and right smart quotes, angled apostrophes, em dashes, etc. all get encoded as  which tells me something goofy is going on. I don't know if this is a character encoding issue or what. I could just HTMLEncode the string and do a replace on  but that also encodes other things that I don't want encoded, and there appears to be no such thing as Server.HTMLDecode in classic ASP.
Passing Quotes In A URL Call
I want to dynamically build a call to another asp page and include some
parameters as part of the call. The basic format of the call is something
like::
"<a href='mypage.asp?id=" & theid & "&location='" & thelocation &
"'>GO</a>"
where there is a single quote followed by a double quote following the
...location=... and vica-versa after the variable
My problem is that the variable thelocation can include a single quote or a
double quote. I tried Server.URLEncode and that didn't work. I got a string
that ended up causing a Page Not Found (it encoded the dot in the page name
and that didn't work)
How can I encode the data so that quotes will be accepted in this type of
call?
