Which of the following would be the most preferred connection string method? What is the difference?
strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/marketing/ics.mdb")
strConn = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/marketing/ics.mdb")
what is more efficient, opening the database once in the beginning of the page then closing it at the end of the page, or opening the db connection each time you need it.
for example:
i have a page that executes 50 queries. is it better to open the db, execute the queries, then close it, or to open and close the db 50 times?
I 've coded an asp webpage where a user could toggle a boolean value through a checkbox.
When the checkbox was pressed, the page posted the toggle action to itself, a
connection.execute "UPDATE tableName SET fieldName=(Not fieldname) WHERE field_id=1
query was performed and the checkbox, after I had retrieved its new value through a recordset, changed its appearence(state). At first I used an MS Access DB and it worked fine.
After I had switched the hole application to work with MS-SQL, although I changed the above query to Code:
Wondered if anyone could help me out with some simple connection string problems I'm having.
Ive got this on the page so far and it works:
----------------------------------------------
Dim strConnString
set strConnString = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
strConnString.ConnectionString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & "DBQ=c:Inetpubwwwrootdlnforumforumadminwwforum.mdb"
strConnString.open
-----------------------------------------------
But I want to change it to a Server.MapPath method, so I tried the following:
------------------------------------------------
Dim strConnString
set strConnString = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
strConnString.ConnectionString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & Server.MapPath("forum/admin/wwforum.mdb")
strConnString.open
---------------------------------------------------
But now I get the following error:
-------------------------------------------
Error Type:

Operation was canceled.
Can anyone help me out?
[This question is directed at Bob Barrows, but perhaps someone else knows an
answer. In any case it is good information for the group.]
I really like Bob's "stored procedure as method of Connection Object"
technique. It is convenient, compact, and concise, and simplifies protection
from SQL injection.
HOWEVER, I cannot figure out a way to pass a null value to an INT parameter
when I use this. Null string parameters are fine. The error reads:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e07'
Operand type clash: text is incompatible with int
As you can imagine, "text is incompatible with int" gets my attention. I am
explicitly passing a null (not the string "null"). I am using JScript on the
web server and connecting to SQL Server 2000. An example: Code:
The provider I host my website on gives me three options when it comes to
databases:
1. Microsoft Access
2. MySQL
3. MSSQL
I have used Access in the past, and it is adequate for the minor database
work I plan on doing.
However, I would like to learn some quality skills, just in case a client
wants to hire me to do some database work one day.
Which database would be the best to learn? What are the strengths of one
verses the other? What are their weaknesses? Which one is the simplest to
write code for? Which has the most code examples using Classic ASP?
1.
conn.ConnectionTimeout = 60
conn.Open connString
2.
conn.Open connString
conn.ConnectionTimeout = 60
Do both of them give different?
I have downloaded the DiscIDCalc program from CDDB. I've used it a lot because I've written my own application for my CD collections (keeping track of the track information of each CD, track duration etc). I've already got all my CDs into the application, I'm now just going through each of the disc again just to add in the DiscID information. I do it by running the DiscIDCalc program, generating the DiscID, and then then copying and pasting this DiscID into my application and then save it.
if anyone has successfully generated the DiscID within an asp page?
Now I have to have my browser up and this DiscIDCalc program up. Just want to know if there's a way to incorporate the two together (even if it means I'm not using the DiscIDCalc anymore.). This DiscIDCalc has a documentation for its DiscIDCalcDLL.dll but it's not something that I can CreateObject with, so I'm quite clueless... I don't want to use VB to write APIs for that
I use query string to search for records by using GET method. This method will generate querystring automatically by using the form name. Using search field together with drop down is fine but the problem is when i didn't enter any keyword or left the search field blank it won't display any result.
Unless I put "%" in the search field. How do I make the querystring change to "%" whenever the field is blank so that all records will be displayed.

When using ActiveX Combo Boxes, can you use the GetString method to populate the control? I currently am using AddItem, however, it is taking a long time to process. I know that GetString works well to improve the performance. Here is my code while using AddItem:
while not rsClient.EOF
Response.Write chr(9) & "MenuForm.lstClient.additem " & chr(34) & replace(rsClient.Fields("Client Name").value,chr(34),"'") & " [" & trim(rsClient.Fields("Client Number").Value) & "]" & chr(34) & chr(13)
rsClient.MoveNext
Now this is a weird one. I'm having a problem with a system in development. When I post data from a form in IE 5.01 it works fine, but in IE 5.5 it refuses to post the data to the server and in IE 6 it's scatty -- works sometimes but not others. Anyone seen this before?
Edit:
By the way -- this is normal VBS/ASP running on IIS 5 on an NT server
can values of variables be transfered through response.redirect onto the next page

I have a .asp page that uses the post method and it works fine on my computer using iis. But when i put it on the web server (it has windows NT4) it wont work.
I've read that you have to do something to allow the post method on the server.
i know nothing about windows NT4 but can get access to the server. can someone please let me know what i have to do to get this to work?
Just to let you know the post method is for ssending a login and pass to another page that search a database for the record. If there is another way to do this that does not show the variables in the url please let me know. i am also willing to make it so that everything is on the same page so i dont have to pass anything.
Based on what the user selects in a combo box I need to find the value from another column in the same record. This is what I am using:

response.write("The Price for the Component Not Found")
else
curPrice =rsPrice("Score")
