Limit The Display Of Text
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.

Can anyone tell me how to display just the first few words of the data. For example:
The full text:
Hello, how are you? What are you currently doing and hope you have a good day. Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
I just want to display:
Hello, how are you? What are you currently ...
I am not very familiar with the asp coding for displaying part of the message.

On my index page I have got an area for one product to be displayed randomly from the
database. I have got it workign, but there is one problem i cant get my head around, here is the code so far:
' Initialize ASP RND() function
Randomize()
intRandomNumber = Int (1000*Rnd)+1
strsql = "SELECT TOP 1 art_Artist, art_Title, Rnd(" & -1 * (intRandomNumber) & "*cat_ID)" &_
"FROM eventDisplay " &_
"ORDER BY 3"
The code above isnt working and its when i try and draw out more that one value, as in art_Artist and art_Title.
It works fine if all I want is art_Artist, but as i said when i try to draw out more than one value the randomize function doesnt work.

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 an HTML form with a textarea. When passing large
amount of data in the textarea, the Processing asp pages
catch an error message as follows:
Error Type:
(0x80020009)
Exception occurred.
The error is generated once the trim or length or replace
function is called on the field when long text is passed
in the textarea.
Is there a max limit on the string length that these
functions can process? What else can be done to done to fix this problem?

Anyone used LIMIT in their queries before?? I've been reading up on it, but all of the examples I tried don't seem to work. Here is what I have:Code:
Set rs = CatalogCS2.Execute("SELECT * FROM products p " & _
" INNER JOIN applications a ON p.prodcode = a.prodcode " & _
" INNER JOIN inventory i ON p.prodcode = i.prodcode " & _
" WHERE DATEDIFF(d, a.app_launchdate, getdate()) <= '30' " & _
" ORDER BY a.app_launchdate DESC LIMIT 0,10 ")
Seems pretty straight forward, but I can't really find any good articles on it.

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 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.
