how I can control or limit the display of text so that info from the database is displayed in a more uniform manner. For instance a user requests a group of article titles and is given a list of article names to select from.
The list that displays looks a mess because some titles are very lengthy. Is there a way to control the number of characters that is displayed from a string and end it with "..." so the user understands there is more to the title?
I've seen this done but can not seem to find any info on HOW to go about it. I could place the full title in the mouse over but wish to clean up the initial display of the list.
What im lookng to do, is display a message if the user searches for a product that doesnt exist in the database. So if they look for a particular book, and it returns nothing, they get a sorry we dont have it in stock message.

I'm using Access Database with ASP. There is one particular thing that I have issue with.
My purpose is for user to update their own profile. Their existing profile information will be display in Edit Form format. The problem is if the field has space, the second word will not display, when I display in input text format.
E.g if My first name "User_FirstName" in my table has entry, let say "David Johnson" as FirstName, when I execute following code and do a input text, it will display "David" only. Code:

I've got a simple template based ASP page which pulls information in one of several different languages from an Access database.
The copy I have in the database is fine. All languages - including the Japanese are displaying correctly when I look at them in Access. However, when I pull the Japanese text from the database, each character renders in the browser as '???????'.
I've tried different HTML encoding, but nothing seems to make a difference.

I have a web application that query and insert record into a remote DB2 database. It has an ODBC setup pointing to a remote UNIX DB2 database server. The problem that I ran into today is that IIS created too many DB session which max out my limit at the DB2 side. I see a lot of "mtx.exe" when I check the db applications of the db server.
Even thought I close my db connection after each query, it seems to stay around and occupying a session on the DB server. So I ended up with a lot of people with failed insert or login because there are no more available session on the db server.
So my question is how can I set a limit on the DB connection? How can I make sure "mtx.exe" disappear after a query? What other option do I have?
I've made an ASP page that use a VB6 ActiveX EXE with a CreateObject. Initially, this page work fine. The object’s reference created with the CreateObject are saved on a session variable for reuse it on many page. When many users call this page and many instance of the ActiveX EXE Object are created, the CreateObject command fails with a 429 error (ActiveX component can't create object). The class (in ActiveX EXE) are MultiUse, then only a single EXE are running. Terminating the EXE with Task Manager then the CreateObject will get to work again.
I'm pulling product descriptions from the database and would like to limit the number of charcters that is displayed. Also, I'd like to add ... at the end.

I'm starting in asp and I'm trying to do a simple sql query to display a number of records on a page using the limit clause. I keep getting a syntax error in my from clause. Here's what I'm doing:Code:
rstProd.Source = "SELECT * from TBL_PRODUITS LIMIT 0,10"
I have no problem using this clause with PHP so I was wondering if there's some restrictions with it in ASP??
I've got a small problem with my ODBC query that I'm unable to resolve by searching google. I need to limit my query so that it only returns a certain ammount of rows, for example 10.
I have tried the MySQL type query and that failed to work. Then I found an example on the internet in what looked like a weblog which said use "select top 10 * from tblname". Although this fails to work it does limit it when it feels like it. Often I'll get 11 or more results, but if I decrease the 10 to 4 for eample it still returns the same 11 or more rows.
