I am designing a website and integrated database for my company. In one of my pages I print out a report in which there are many text fields. I create a query and populate an html table based on the results. A major problem I am having is that when I output a memo string to a cell all of the returns that have been recorded in the string show up as spaces. I know that the returns are indeed there, evidenced by printing out correctly in Microsoft Access.I need to find a way to recognize the returns, because this page is intended to be a somewhat formal report.
this is really urgent and i cant seem to figure this out.I have his text area, once the user hits the save button, it tranfers the data to a memo datatype field in the database. ok here's the thing...every time I copy paste something, this thing throws up a wierd error..:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14) [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '('text here....
I initially though it would ahve been becuase of the number of characters, but that was not the case.When i type things in and save , e'thing works fine
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done. When I cheked the code, the problematic line was:
rs_durandal("titulo")= rs("titulo")
rs_durandal("titulo") is a Varchar field in MYSQL, while rs("titulo") is a Memo field in Access.How can I solve this problem?
I have built a search feature for a site which searches 4 fields,2 in one table and 2 in another.It's an Access database.It works a treat when searching for anything except something like "I'd", or "it's" etc.Anything with a hyphen in returns one result,or less than there in fact are.
My SQL statement is as follows:
strSQL = "select id as strID, tableID as strTableID, tagline as strTagline, content AS strContact FROM news where tagline LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' OR content LIKE '% " & searchString & "%' UNION ALL select id as strID, tableID as strTableID, tagline AS strTagline, content AS strContent from databank where tagline LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' OR content LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' ORDER BY strID"
This is my first post here. I have been looking everywhere on the forums and all over the net but i cannot find anything about this.
I did find one tutorial ages ago but didnt have a use for it at the time. What i would like to do is have a page that cycles through a database and display lets say the last 5 new records. Then display the first 200 characters of a memo field and have a "more" link which opens the full record in a detail page?
if i use the objRS instead of the filecont in the replace function i get the same issue. If I do anything with this field (use InStr, or other menial functions) I get no records can be displayed. The contents field is a memo field within Access, i am wondering if this is causing the issue?
I have an Access 2000 db with a memo field.Into the memo field I put text with bold attributes, URL etc etc
What I need to to is converting the rich text contained into the memo field in plain text.That's because I truncate the string text but if, when I truncate it there's a rich tag the code following the truncated string is corrupted.Don't know if it's clear enough.
Just to summarize:
1) memo field cointaining rich text 2) I need to transform it in plain text
I need to be able to retieve variable length (>255 characters) messages which have been saved in a memo field in an access data base on the server. I am using the following code to test this : -
<% set objconn = server.createobject ("ADODB.connection") set objrec = server.createobject ("ADODB.recordset") objconn.open "DSN=daters" strsql = "SELECT DISTINCT messages.* FROM messages WHERE messid = 305 ;" objrec.open strsql, objconn, adopenforwardonly, adlockoptimistic,adcmdtext %>
<%=objrec("text")%>
The message is found and retrieved but truncated to 255 characters as if it were an ACCESS text field not a memo field.
The message which is originally user created on another page, writes in full to the ACCESS memo field. Also, if I download the data, and retrieve the message offline via an ACCESS form, it displays fully. Seems then like an ADO issue in retrieving memo fields Probably my syntax?
I don't know what i am doing wrong. I have an access database,and One of my fields is Memo format. So when i try to display the information in that field, I was unable to do so, nothing would come up in IE. but the data is there in the fields.something like this.
response.write(rs("description"))
when i changed the field to "text" format, everything worked perfectly fine, ASP was able to display the information stored in that field. But when i changed it back to memo, it would display nothing.is there like a special way of displaying information stored in a Memo field?
I know how to display a text field from an mdb file. You type: <%= CmdPopulateStates("fieldname") %>
where CmdPopulateStates is declared as:
Set CmdPopulateStates = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
But if 'fieldname' was a memo field rather than text field then the information isn't displayed. In fact, if it's anything other than text then it won't be displayed. How do I display other field types?
i'd like to know if there is some way to detect whether a field is of type MEMO (i'm using MS Access) so to behave accordingly placing a textarea instead of a textbox in the UI.
I have several asp pages that display information from an Access DB. Some of the fields are memo fields. If I use simpler queries such as:
SELECT * FROM " & MyTabla & " WHERE " & MyCriteria
the memo fields are retrieved and displayed Ok.
However, if I use more "complicated" queries such as: SELECT " & selecti & " FROM " & MyJoin & " GROUP BY " &grupi & " HAVING " & MyCriteria
the memo fields get truncated after the first 255 characters, i.e. only the first 255 characters are returned, but the fields are larger and get retrieved ok if I use the "simpler" queries!
I can't print the contents of an Access memo field. Every other field type displays fine but this one.
I saw an old thread saying that you should first assign the memo field to a variable but that also doesn't seem to work (please see the attached bit of code). The memo field is "Message". Code:
I have a DSN connection for MySql with Asp. Used Text field[Memo] to store the data. While displaying the data its gives the error,if field is empty. But works well if not empty. So pls help me to check the text/memo field for empty/null. How?
I am using access Memo field to store text of large size. If I use <%=memofield%> in simple display, it does not look like a formatted field and all text comes in a single line without any break.
Even If the text is same like what I am posting in this thread, out come will not have break in browser's display.
I have a memo field being called from the DB that needs to be outputted on screen. Every line that prints needs to be numbered whether the new line is formed from a text wrap or from a CrLf.
I am currently counting characters, when I reach 95 I insert a CrLf, increment the linecount, write the new line number and continue outputting. If a CrLf occurs before the 95 it simply increments and continues.
I also restrict the linecount to 40 before inserting a page break in case the output needs to be printed out. Code:
i am testing if my memo field (access DB) has anything in it by doing
if isnull(rs("memofld")) then
do this
end if
The script is not picking up a valid value if it is null or not. I have also tried testing for it equalling "" but no lick either.
Read alot of stuff online with people having the same problem but no luck. I have tried selecting the memo field last in the sql query but this makes no difference.
I have an ASP that displays two MS Access memo fields in separate table cells just fine. However when I concatenate them with SQL as in "select fld1 & fld2 as temp...." to display them in one cell only part of the first field is displayed in the table. What is causing this?
I have a memo field in my recordset that will have varying amounts of text inserted into it from an online form. This is then uploaded to a table cell. At the minute it is just going in one long line across the table. How can I get this text to wrap or line break at a table width of say 500px. Is this an html or asp solution?
I have been doing adodb connections and using Access2000 for several lightweight websites. I have never had any problem with any of the SQL commands to insert, update, delete, etc.
I can insert a record into a memo field just fine ... up to a certain number of characters (nowhere near the 65K limit). After several hundred characters, the insert fails ... nothing happens ... the execute just idles and no insert is done. Anyone help? I have read about data types, etc., but everything I read sounds as if ASP and Access 2000 are suppose to handle the type conversions. They have been doing it up to this certain size.
I'm using an Access database and asp to bring in a series of table contents to textarea fields so if wording wants changing in the database I can do it using an asp form. All works ok apart from a couple of records that are memo fields.
I have displayed the field contents by ..........
<%=(locationwords.Fields.Item("ftexta").Value)%>
and they are shown ok.
If i try and use the same syntax for bringing the memo field in to a textarea nothing is displayed.
I have an access database and am currenlty using classic asp for most of my coding and am trying to extract sentences from the memo field that contain specific strings, in this case "<b>"
The memo fields contain a lot of data so filtering becomes an issue, so i just want to be able to only display the sentences within the memo field i.e. between "." and "." OR beginning of record and "." OR "." and end of record that contain the string "<b>"
I'm using asp to retrieve data from a server and import that data in a client that uses MSAccess, into a memo field. The text hes line breaks 0D 0A (the usual DOS line breaks). However the client sees these line breaks as two squares!
The strange thing is that when I look at the exported text (yes, I also export text from the client to the server), it also contains the same line breaks. So the exported text from the memo field can look exactly the same as the imported text, and before the export the line breaks are correctly shown als line breaks, but after the import that same line breaks are shown as squares! I would like to see line breaks after the import and NO squares.
vMessageText = "This is a test just to see if it will blow up on a large comment. Just testing again. Don't mind me."
Can I put this into my database field or is it too much and if not, how do I solve this issue. I need to be able to post messages and input for large fields.
I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me: tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",") for each token in tokens response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>") next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).
I suspect that StreamReader.ReadLine is not correctly returning a string, even though Response.Write(line) displays what I would expect .....
I have a search option on my website, which should perform a search on 4 fields, as follows:
tblNews headline content
tblDatabank filename description
It only needs to return matches which are an exact match of their search criteria. For instance, searching for "I am here" would return a record which contained "I am here", but not just "I" or "I am" etc.
I need to return all these records as part of one recordset preferably, as I want to be able to order them etc., though I imagine you may suggest I use an array somehow to merge two recordets etc., then reorder them?
I have a form in which several elements are expected to be all digits. Some of those elements can be left empty, but if specified they must be all digits. I have this Sub to edit them: ....
I am pulling info from a sql server By default the query pulls back the inforamtion as text.Therefore when I go to calculate some figures its giving me a type mismatch error. Is there a function in can call to convert a text string to an integer string using
rstSearch.Fields("name").Value .To pull back the info in a for loop
Error Type: Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D) Type mismatch
Im adding entries to an Access database, and I got some problems while inserting a memo field in a text field. In fact, the migration is from a Mysql field to an Access field..
There is a way to avoid the problems... setting all the access fields to "memo" type, but, as you may know, this process multiplicates my db weight to thousands of bytes.
Is there a function to insert the memo field into a text field? It would be very useful, even if (of course) it wraps some text in the trespassing.
