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?
Will the Request.form show the correct order that they were displyed in or
will it do something different. I have been testing and it always shows the
order they were displayed.Is this just coincidental?
From my system, it allow product has multi-category, so I need to save
all category names which one product belong to into one field on a
database,
and record saved like " nameA|nameB|nameC " - seperate by "|".
question 1:
the second time when i update the record for same product name, how to
have a record
like "nameA|nameB"
After multi-category name saved, then, i would like to generate a
navigate name with the link like
home > nameB > name of product
question2:
so how can i retrieved only one name from category field.
I know that the order of from fields from a form post are somewhat random. But, what about fields that have the same name -
<input type="text" name="something" value=""> First Choice
<input type="text" name="something" value=""> Second Choice
<input type="text" name="something" value=""> Third Choice
<input type="text" name="something" value=""> Fourth Choice
First = "bananna"
Second = "orange"
Third = ""
Fourth = "apple"
Will the values, in the delimited list contained in Request.Form("something"), always be in the order they are in the form? That is - bananna, orange, , apple
if the order of the fields in a query matters when querying a table with asp. that is, if the table has columns labeled "RecordID, FirstName, Initial, LastName, etc" in that order, do i have to do my "INSERT INTO" command with the fields in that same order, or could i do "FirstName, RecordID, LastName, Initial, etc" ? i think it doesnt matter. am i right?
View Replies View RelatedI have a form with stacks of fields. This is submitted to a formmail.asp script at my isp which emails the values in the form to me.
Is there anyway using dreamweaver that I can define the order of the form fields when they are submitted to me via email? I eventually add the values in the form to a bit of paper, it would be handy if the email could have them listed in the order they are printed on on the bit of paper.
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 am trying to split a mgrgroup field to extract the MD codes. It correctly grabs the MD codes if all records in a mass update are updated, but if only one record in the loop is updated then it puts the last 5 digits of the mgr name in the MD field.
THIS IS THE CODE: ....
I am using the following code to split/join values in a multi-select field. It is combining all the values in All the records into one long string in each record in recordset.
Example: I have a recordset with 2 records. The 1st contains the split/joined values: Alan Smir, Jeff Karl The 2nd contains the value: Keith Robb
When it updates database, it will put Alan Smir, Jeff Karl, Keith Robb into each record in the recordset. Instead it should be putting Alan Smir, Jeff Karl into the 1st record
and Keith Robb into the 2nd record in the recordset.
Does anyone see what is wrong with the code ....
I need to know how to display a new post above an old one:
here is my script to display the database (news):
Code:
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Provider = "Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
Conn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath ("database/news.mdb")
Conn.Open
Set Rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Rs.Open "SELECT * from news", Conn, 1,3
do while not rs.EOF
Response.Write rs("name") & " " & rs("when") & "<br>" & rs("news") & "<p>"
rs.MoveNext
loop
set Rs = nothing
set Conn = nothing
%>
I'm trying to upload the entire field for every recordset to . How could I do this? Here's what I got so far.
<!--#include file="searchconn.asp"-->
<%
UPDATE SearchTable SET SearchTable.newscontent = " ";
%>
I have an access database with year designations for field names, such 2005 2004 2003 ... and data corresponding thereto. I can formulate a query in MSAccess and it works just fine. However, I am trying to create a web page that will create a database
connection and use SQL to create a recordset(s) which I can then manipulate in vbScript.
The problem seems to be structuring a query that will work in
vbScript. I have tried several combinations:
rs2.Open "SELECT 2005,2004,2003 FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
rs2.Open "SELECT '2005','2004','2003' FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
rs2.Open "SELECT "2005","2004","2003" FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
but none of these will extract data.
I have also tried casting these numbers to strings in a string variable, but still no success.
Is there some naming convention I am violating by simply using year designations as field names or is there a problem with vbScript?
I pass a table name into my program dynamically. I could display the data by looping through the object.Fields for both the field name and the field data using object.GetRows.
What I have not figured out is if there is a way to figure out from the Fields what type of field (ie. Numeric, Text) it is.
Certainly I could check the actual data once it is read, but is there a way to figure out the field type without doing that? Perhaps an object property of a recordset that I am not familiar with?
I have an asp page that has a function that connects to an Access database.
I am using Javascript. Is there any way to reference the field name in the
database through a variable in a sql statement? Code:
I have a "csv file" as a database.
The 1st row contains the field names:
Orion.Accounts.AccountName,Orion.Accounts.Address1
the code I use normally works:
<%=rs("Orion.Accounts.AccountName")%>
Although in this case is doesn't because the fieldnames contain full stops.
how to modify this line:
<%=rs("Orion.Accounts.AccountName")%>
what i am trying to do is when the database field is empty to not display the box (table) that is in my css file, whereas when there's something in the field i would like the box to display!!!

View Replies View RelatedI have a form that inserts a student's course choices into an Access db. The student can choose from 4 options in a day. From a drop down box that is populated from the db.
Each course has a field called count1, count2, count3 and count4 which are the class sizes for those sessions. When they choose a session, I have a bit of ASP that takes '1' away from the count.
However, I need to validate the form when it is submitted so that if course = 0 a message pops up to say the course in that session is full. At the moment, the drop down boxes are populated by SQL that says only show if count>0 but if a lot of students load the page at the same time they can all subscribe to it - so I am getting -4 in some sessions. I need to check whether the course in that option is full i.e. '0' when the form is validated and then for it to tell them that that particular session is full.
I am trying to take a name that is in a database field and rearrange it to place it in a session variable. For example:
Database Field:
SMITH, JOHN
What I would like to see:
JOHN SMITH
Instead of - Welcome SMITH, JOHN
I would prefer - Welcome JOHN SMITH
Can this be done when requesting a form variable or does it have to be done when viewing the recordset variable.
I am trying to determine if a field in a database is empty or not. The code I have is this....
(before this I have code that opens up the database, gets the data from the table. the var "content" holds the data if any from the database.)
if content = "" then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
This doesn't seem to work. I also tried...
if (content) then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
No luck yet. Any ideas?

SQL = "INSERT INTO Documents (CNID, DocumentPrefix, DocCategory, DocumentName, VariantFlag, PartNo, PartDesc, NewIssue, StatusID) VALUES ('" & CNID & "', '" & IRNprefix & "', '" & IRNcat & "', '" & IRNnumber & "', " & IRNvar & ", '" & PartNum & "', '" & IRNDesc(0,num) & "', 'A', '5')"
Is there a way to convert the number to the right data type? Am I doing something wrong? I'm quite new to all this so it's probably something silly.

I currently have a web page that pulls in job vacancies from a search form all written in asp and the database is in access. I will be placing an extra field which will say "apply now" and on selecting this you will be taken to a new page where you can fill in your details and email them to the employer.
My problem is I need to know how to get a field in the form that will automatically fill in the title of the vacancy being applied for from the database.
I am pulling legislation information and expiry dates from an access database and posting to the web. The expiry dates in access are formatted as Month Day, Year (EG.. January 1, 2006) But when they are pulled from the database to the web, they come out as 01/01/06. I know that the format we have in access is simply a mask, however we require that format be carried through.
This is likely a simple solution, however I am new to ASP and can't seem to locate any information on this. I have searched the forum for related info on this but can't find anything that relates to my specific situation.
Here's the code we are using so far...
Code:
<%
Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 'i.e. carry on looping through while there are records
Response.write "<tr><td>"'open row and first cell
Response.write Recordset("Legislation")
Response.write "</td>"'close first cell
Response.write "<td>"'open second cell
Response.write Recordset("Repealed")
Response.write " "
Response.write Recordset("Expiry_Date")
Response.write "</td></tr>" 'close row
Recordset.MoveNext 'move on to the next record
Loop
%>
I have also found and implemented the following code:
Code:
dt=recordset("Expiry_date")
dt=Month(dt)&"/"&day(dt)&"/"&year(dt)
response.write(dt)
This lets me change the positions of the numbers, but I can't figure out how to make it display the full month name and full year.
