I have written a asp application whihc uses a number of pages and each page connects to a sql database.
Currently I have the connection script coded on each page however if i need to change the database I have to change every page.
I have been told there is a way to have the connection on one page and each page to referance this one so I only need to change the one page
I have a table (Software Table) in a database that is linked with a many to one relation to another table (Computer Table). I wrote a simple ASP page to return the records for the software table which shares a one to many realtion with the Computer Table.
One (Software Table) to Many (Computer Table)
At persent the only records that are returned are the ones from the software table. Is there some way to return or display the many computers (one to many) for each record.I cant think how to start to do this. Can I link to computer table and have a drop down that lists the many computers?a better way to display this information?
I work with ASP for several weeks now and i really like it! But until now i have just used it in connection with my localhost. I made connections to a SQL Database and to an ACESS Database with using the ODBC Tool from WIndows!!
Now i want to publish my website but i don't know how to handle the connection string kind of thing. My MySQL-Database is on a different server than the website and i need a connection string where i can type in the server, a password and a username and it should then connect.
Is it possible to retrieve data with ASP sorted on 2 fields? I've tried :
SELECT * FROM [TableName] ORDER By Field1 AND Field 2
But it gives an error. I've searched the internet on this topic to no avail.
Is it possible?
I am familiar with connecting asp pages to sql server when both servers are
on a LAN.
Can anyone advise on how to connect when the servers are remote from each
other?
I was wondering if i can create an if/else statement that checks if my connection string that opens a database ie:
cnnDB.Open Application.Contents.Item("CONNECTION_STRING" )
(the actuall connection string is in my global.asa file incase u were wondering) ...or if the database can't be found or opened, will run some other code... like a message?
hope u get what i mean.
this is just incase a user has the DB opened, or is in the process of overiting the DB or something, the page would not display that Microsoft JET Database Engineerror but display a message i set up in the if/else statement.

View Replies View RelatedI have been trying to get an intranet search page to work that looks at an Access database. The database is called database.mdb, and lives in the root of the site, as does the .asp (security is not a problem at the moment). The code was taken from an asp website. I am running .net and Windows server 2000.
Could someone look at the code and tell me if it looks OK for connecting to the database? Then at least I can rule out code as the problem I am having.(receiving error codes)

I manage my department information through an Access relational database and an http network model database. Naturally enough I want to combine them.
We have an old NT driven LAN with pc's running Win 9x or XP pro. The file server is nearly up to capacity on storage and bandwidth, the new XP machines have plenty. The network is backed up daily. If possible I want to use the XP m/c as a web server.
I want to use IIS and ASP from an XP m/c to read and write to databases on the file server but can't seem to get the connection string right, I have tried many, with and without DSN's. Having checked up on IIS (installed on XP pro) I suspect that it can only connect locally. Certainly everything runs on a test setup in C:/inetpub/wwwroot which can be accessed across the LAN and ASP runs fine.
i want to open a connection for password protected database but i don't want to write password in code as it can be seen by my host provider and misused is there any way I can read database password without writing it in my code.

cN.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; password=joy; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("db1.mdb")
above example works fine but i dont want to write password in my code is there any way i can do it.
How do i detect whether the database connection is open or not in a asp page?

I have one database, but nine web sites all linking to this database for client input.hen I use the domain web site that the database is atored under, the ASP page updates the database as required. I have been using the following connection:

Now I have saved this ASP page under one of my other domain names and have tried using an ODBC connection as follows:
"DSN=ODBC Connection;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=my web site database domaindbmy database.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"
Unfortunately when I complete the ASP page on this web site, and submit, the database is not being updated with the records.

i have built an Intranet using includes, which is about all the access of the IIS server I have. I really want to have database functionality so that I can use an Access database - but cannot and will not be able to use ASP to connect to it
how I can do this without using ASP? Client-Side, or something similar? Or any other way..? All I have to play with is a standard business-wide build of IE, and a very limited IIS server.
