Limiting Characters Returned

I 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?

Limiting Database

I have a database with about two thousand records, and I would like to only display about 50 per page. How would I go about doing this?
I have a hunch it has something to do with the <% Do While not objRS.EOF %> code?

Getrows, Paging And Limiting

I'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?

Limiting Data Access

I 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" .

Limiting Number Of Form Submissions?

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 would think cookies be the answer to this but what happens if the visitor has cookies turned off? If this would be a good solution can somebody please help me out? I'm not familiar with cookies.

Limiting User Abilities By Group

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...

I don't want a million IF's in my asp code. What I'm looking for is to have a list of groups, each having a checklist of functions they can perform. Assign a user to a group, and they can do those tasks.

Limiting Results From An Access Query

I'm attempting to limit a query which is being ordered by a date field to 10 records. The date field contains duplicate values, which are sorted from most recent, back.
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?

Large Amount

I 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'm using a stored procedure to get the data. Not sure if that's the most efficient. I'm using classic asp. I'm open to any suggestions because I'm not even sure where to look to get options.

Maxium Amount Of Time

Using Two Dates To Figure The Amount Of Days In Between

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

A more detailed explanation:

The client side (Javascript) generates a new file upload box as soon as the file in the first box is selected...the name of the file upload boxes is bestand[] so that the input is received in an array.

Now I am trying to receive all the files with ASP and store them on the server....
