What is the best and most efficient connection type to connect to an access database (MDL, DSN, ODBC, OLE-DB, etc). Right now i'm using an OLE-DB connection which is the best according to one site, but I saw on another site that said DSN was the best.
View RepliesI'm now getting a Type mismatch error and am stumped. I have the following lines of code and am really trying to learn this, but I've been stuck on this one for a few hours now. It tells me that the mismatch error is on the last line. Code:
dim connectionToDatabase
dim database_select_submitted
dim id
Set connectionToDatabase=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connectionToDatabase.ConnectionTimeout=60
connectionToDatabase.Open "DSN=international_hotlines"
id=Request("id")
database_select_submitted=("SELECT * FROM hotlines WHERE incrementing_number=" & Request("id") & "")
connectionToDatabase.Execute(database_select_submitted)
Response.Write database_select_submitted("receiving_record_number")
I want to find out what type of Access database (97 or 2000) I'm running, from an ASP script.Is this possible? If so, how?
View Replies View RelatedI have an Access database that has a field of type Long Integer. In this field I am storing the value of the unique id's of another table. The unique id in the other table is of type autonumber. (I read some where if using autonumber value as criteria for matching the other value should be of type Long Int.) Anyway, I have a form on a page that has a dropdown menu. Each option on the dropdown has a value such as this
<option value="2">John Doe</option>
where "2" is the value of the id field of a particular table. When I submit the form I have this bit of code that is throwing the type mismatch error:
rs("Owner") = request("owner")
rs("owner") is the field of type Long Int. What is going on here, am I passing a string to a field that is Long Int. If so, how can this be fixed?
I am trying to insert data from one table to another but it always errors me on type mis matches or parameters.
Basically the SQL statement looks like this:
sql6 = "Insert Into tblWeeklyFixtures_Div3 Select * From tblAllFixtures_div3 Where GameDate > date() <=date()+7"
conn.execute(sql6)
and it gives me error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.
/DIGFootball/Admin/FriDiv3/update2.asp, line 142]
I tihnk it has to be that i havent declared that i will be importing into a Date/Time field in access but when i change this in acess it gives me more errors so for a peacful life i chnaged the field back to text but by doing this the above SQL statement is pretty useless.
I am using ADODB.Connection to access an Access DB(mdb) on my website.
I switch from one webhosting company to another and not my website can not connect to my access db. I have provided the code for your review.. Where is the problem.. How can I get the code to find the (MDB) database?

I have an ASP script that opens an Access DB and tries to record an IP address if the user has never visited the site. However, when the script is run, I get an error saying the the DB is read-only. I checked to DB propoerties and it is notlisted as read-only, and when I run my Query on it, it does not open the recordset as a read-only connection. I can only assume that something else has the DB r the table open, but Ihave no idea where.

View Replies View RelatedI really like this forum as I can usually find the answer to all my questions by searching, but I haven't been able to find a way to resolve this problem. This is my setup. We have 2 local servers. One running WinNT that handles all our internal databases in dbf formats. The other server is WinServer 2k3 and it handles all webstuff. The Win2k3 Server logs onto the WinNT Server and can see and open all the files. If I copy a file from the NT Server to the 2k3 server, I can utilize the database using the connect string:
DBConnect.Open "Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};DriverID=277;Dbq=;"
but, I cannot connect to it directly on the other server. I believe it is a permissions issue, but if I change the Annonomus Access user to one that can access the other server, it asks for a password. I have even tried a virtual server but cannot find a connection string that will allow me to access it.
I copied it to my dev PC and setup site in Dreamweaver. I have a local site, a testing server which points to a different location and I am using IIS5.1 virtual directory for connecting.
Strange thing is, I keep getting error "Provider (0x80004005)" after some usage.
Now it is on the .Open method of an ADO COMMAND. It looks like everytime I try a second .Open I get the error. for example the first access checks User/Pass and returns info.
2nd access tries to open list of all users for admin.
The database is not being locked for exclusive anywhere I can see.
The directory/database security is all setup for the IUSR account (and first connections work anyway) I would hazard it is a locking issue but not sure why.
As I said this site is suppose to be functional, loading in DWMX2004 and using a test server on my local machine however causes a problem.
I am passing 3 hidden fields to another page using the method="post"

Our hosting service migrated our web page from a Windows 2000 Server to Windows 2003. Our website is www.DisketteConnection.com.
I now intermittently receive error:
ADODB.Recordset error '800a0e7d'
The connection cannot be used to perform this operation. It is either closed or invalid in this context.
/shopcart/shopdisplaycategories.asp, line 36
I believe line 36 is "rs.Close". I can include additional code or the code opening the file if you need it. I utilize Microsoft 97 Access Database.
The hosting service indicated the problem lies in that the current code was written for Windows 2000 server. Our original programmer is no longer with the company and I'm at a loss to determine how to address the issue.
i run asp in my standalone pc, using access2003 as the database, like this:
i hv 3 pages,
1st page, i open the database, extract data from database for display(closing the connection using "recordset.close" and "conn.close").... then i have form input for users to input some information...and post to 2nd page
2nd page, this page may load N times depending on the user input in first page...for each time loading, i hv form input for users to input the detailed information. and for 2nd to Nth loading, i will get previous page's form input information(request.form("xxx")), then insert into database ("conn.execute")and close it("conn.close")...
last page, this page get Nth loading user input information for the 2nd page, then open database, insert into database("conn.execute") and close it("conn.close")...
now the problem is like this...database can not store data correctly:
it did not insert N rows into database....maybe N+1 or N+M...randomly...because same data is insert more than once, so some rows are just duplicated...it seemes that the connection just can not be closed and do insertion more than once during each time the 2nd page is loading or during the last page is loading...
can anyone help me to find out the problem? any suggestion?

I seem to be getting this error, and after Googling and searching this site, I still can't get a grip on it. I have a site on a server which is being developed for a national company who will offer this site to their members, hosting each on the national orgainzations servers. I have this string -
openStr = "driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"dbq=" & Server.MapPath("../databases/srt.mdb")
Which results in this error:
The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method
Ok, the common solution seems to be a configuration on the server, which wouldn't be a problem IF the site was to remain where it is. BUT, seeing as I will give this site to the client, who will host it on their servers, could this configuration "fix" be a problem, perhaps for security issues.

Instead of database, how can I set the DSN in this connection string?
DSN is DSNName. I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database.
I created connection to the Microsoft Access DB using DSN from my ASP page.

The Microsoft Access, for every database opened for shared use, creates an .ldb file to prevent users from writing data to pages that other users have locked. Whenever the last user closes a shared database, the .ldb file should be deleted.
It is working; the .ldb file is deleted immediately after closing connection
but not if you open/close this connection from your ASP page.
What I found, the .ldb file is deleted with about 70 seconds delays after closing connection from an ASP page.
