Limiting The Amount Of Characters Returned
I am looking to return the first 50 characters from a database field. Does anyone know if there is a SQL function that returns a defined amount of characters from a database field?

View RepliesI am looking for a simple way to limit the amount of letters/Characters returned so that it does not throw off my pages styling. Basically I have the following: Code:
<%
Dim SomeVariable
response.write(SomeVariable)
%>
If that SomeVariable has 300 characters in it it will create a very large table that it displays in so, what I want to do is limit it to say 25 or 50 Characters and simply put like .... after it. Any Ideas?
How would I limit the amount of Characters that show in the display:
[ <% =objRS("Title")%> ]
Like a Left Trim I only want 12 to 20 characters to show.

View Replies View RelatedI'm using getrows to speed up data access time, i wonder though if there is a better way. Each recordset returns up to or more than 500 records, this is still quite an overhead for the server when there are lots of people on the site.
Rather than reading all 500 records into the array and then paging the results is it possible to create the recordset with just 25 entries?
ie if you are on page 1 then only the first 25 records are retrieved from the database, page 2 - records 25 - 49 are retrieved etc
or will this slow things down?

View Replies View RelatedI have 40 different users. Each user manages a subset of the total database. Currently I have a pull-down menu to let the user select their subset and then manage the data within it. I'd like to use their login info to pre-select the subset so that they have access only to their assigned areas. How do I "send" the subset name from one asp page to another? the db is "2004" the table is "Students" .

I'm using the script below to limit a visitor at my site to only be able to post a form 5 times. I believe the reason I've received more e-mails is because the visitor closes their browser then opens a new one and they can post two times each time they do this.
<%
count = Request("count")
if count = "" Then
count = 0
Else
count = count + 1
End If
%>
<%
If count < 5 Then
%>
<a name="step5"></a><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<%
Else
%>
This form has been submitted 5 times. Please contact me for more information.
Can somebody show me how I can do this so it will only work twice within a 24 hour period even if the visitor closes their browser and opens a new one?

I'm developing a page in which different users have different rights within the site. I don't even know where to start with this one because searching for anything to do with "website", "user", "rights", "permissions" or anything along those lines gives me nothing but server file permissions.
What I'm trying to do is allow anybody with a username and password to sign in, then based on their security permissions they will be able to use certain functions of the website. I want all this to be modular though...

However their suggestion of sorting by a secondary field is not providing acceptable results (it returns all the rows in the database). Does anyone have any suggestions of another way around this?

View Replies View RelatedI need to populate a select form input (combo box) with about 22,000 rows of data. This is taking an unacceptable amount of time to load. And this data is only going to grow in the future.

i have a textbox that has a value $6.00 for example the user has
to enter a dollar value which has to be less then $6.00 so for example if the user enters 4.00 an alert should be fired telling him he has forgotten his dollar sign ("$") then when he enters it properly like this $5.00 i have to check the value is less then $6.00 and it has to be done in javascript
the textbox which holds the $6.00 value is called saleprice

I am using couple of dropdowns on a form which pulls data from one of our

I have three text boxes. One text box holds a beginning date, a second holds an end date, and the third box holds the number of days in between. I would like the page to figure out the number of days in between the two dates without having to type in the number of days.
Is that possible to do without having to use some kind of confirmation page. I mean using a confirmation page would work also, but I wanted to cut out the number of steps that a user needs to complete the assigned task.
Text Box 1: Beginning Date
Text Box 2: Ending Date
Text Box 3: Number of Days in Between
