I want my query to pull up only those entries which a certain field contains the characters "2005". This is what I was trying--obviously wrong
Code:
SQLQuery = "SELECT First, Last, Newname, grad, Datestamp FROM GuestBook WHERE Datestamp contains '2005' "
The field, Datestamp, is a text field not a date field. I know the command isn't "contains" but I just couldn't think of what it was.
I have problem inserting value with special characters such as email address: anne.walker7@btinternet.com
and creditcard:1111 2222 3333 4444 number with spaces inbetween the numbers as these special characters are reserved in MS Access. Any help
email = "anne.walker7@btinternet.com"
cardnumber = "1111 2222 3333 4444"
sql "insert into users (email, cardnumber) " &_
sql = sql & "values ('" & email & "'," cardnumber & ")"
My code retrieves a username and a password from a form. Then this information is compared to some usernames and passwords that are stored in a database. The important thing here is that the comparison must be case sensitive meaning that "passWord" is not the same thing as "password"
I have this code, working fine in access 2003
SQL = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE StrComp(username_column,'" & entered_username_in_form & "',0) = 0 AND StrComp(password_column,'" & entered_password_in_form & "',0) = 0"
but get the following error when I run it against my sql 2005 database.
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]'StrComp' is not a recognized built-in function name.
I don't know the corresponding t-sql for the query.
I am running a querry on an access database and have set the number of records/page displayed at 20. if there are more than 20 records returned, then 1st page will show the first 20, the next page will show next 20 and so on....
The trouble:
the count of total records displayed is correct and the first page is displayed correctly. But when i click on *Next* to go to the next page, all the records of the database get displayed (not the 2nd page of records from the query).
I am using ASP/MS ACCESS to see how I can query the same database, via 2 formfields.
{name: - search}Textfield 1: - Search by Category
AND/OR By
{name: - searchT}Textfield 2: - Location
Currently,
strSearchwords = Trim(Request.QueryString("search")); where "search" is the name of Textfield1
Which is fine, but how can I set it so that on Submit, the string from search, and searchT are somehow joined together into one string?
In Access you use "*" + [passed variable] + "*", + can be replaced with &
Calling a parameterized query in Access requires % be used in place of *,
however, all that I have read show dynamic SQL passed to Access:
WHERE [some column] LIKE '" & ASPvar & "' % ORDER BY ...
However, my call is similar to:
conn.qMyLookup strVar, rs
If I modify the query in Access to:
"%" & [passed variable] & "%"
I get all records. If I only put it at the end, as suggested, I only get
matches at the end, not throughout the column. Code:

I have a MS SQL 7.0 table with a large field (> 500 characters). My select statement embedded in my ASP file in an intranet web interface only returns 255 characters.

The problem is that it is inserting unwanted characters with the values.
