I've been tasked with integrating an older management system based on
DBF files with my snappy new ASP application to provide users of the
ASP application with real-time data from the management system.
I figure with DBF files, I should use either the DBase drivers or the
FoxPro drivers to connect to the database. Code:
I have a small (still) SQL database, which I am trying to query from an ASP
page.
The field I am querying is of DATETIME data type, and is populated
automatically using the GetDate() function as a default value.
When I try and search on this field, using a date/time in the format
dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss as the search criteria, it fails with the following
error:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The conversion of a char data
type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Can anyone tell me why this is? Surely if I am passing a value in the
correct format for the data stored in the field it should work? Or am I
missing something.
I'm trying to select all the records of a Database that have the value of the "giorno" ( giorno = day in english.. i'm italian) field bigger than today.... but there's something wrong in my query. The date is in the format dd/mm/yyyy Code:

What i need to do is, when a certain piece of the path is clicked, it querys my path database and returns the information for that section of the path to a table.
Im designing in ASP VBscript and database is connected n all but im a beginner, is it feasable?
As well as this i need to be able to add to the table each time a piece of path is clicked, and also take away, like a stack.
AND aswell as this i need a seperate table which adds up the length of all the paths selected (length is in the database).
I ported a script I made over to SQL Server 2k from Access and went from queries that took a tenth of a second to up to 30 seconds! Typically they are between 5-10 seconds.
All I can think of is I screwed something up in the connection procedure, and here that is:
Code:
set objConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionTimeout=30
objConn.Open "Driver={SQL Server};" & _
"Server=ipaddress;" & _
"Address=ipaddress,1433;" & _
"Network=DBMSSOCN;" & _
"Database=databasename;" & _
"Uid=userid;" & _
"Pwd=userpass"
set recordset=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
This is the solution needed to have Multiple Drop Down Boxes querying a Database(s) that will not wash out you other textboxes and objects on the select. Copy the code, change the connection to get you data and fly. Code:

We have Old FoxPro 2.6 based system, which usage Indexing techniq' for fast searching. As now we are developing New Web basesd system in ASP/ASP.net, the time we update the databases which Usage Index. the data dont get reflected in the FoxPro Application.
let me explain. The data updated from ASP pages can be accessed from ASP but they can not be accessed by FoxPro system without Reindexing the table in Exclusive mode.
I have a middle-tier written using Foxpro. I'd like this tier to communicate

in my ASP file, e.g. Session("Usercode") = Somevalue. Now somewhere else, I
want to change this value. I tried this:
UserSession = CREATEOBJECT('ASPTypeLibrary.Session')
UserSession.Contents("Usercode") = TheUsercode
However, it gives the error: ASPTypeLibrary.Session is not found. However,

We have a database that contains many characters and symbols we no longer want (or that we need to replace with something else). For example... We have some records in a database that contain the copyright symbol:
And we want to replace that with:
©
Our table is titled Product_Descriptions and the column we want to run this query on is ProductDescription.
I've already searched and I found this:
UPDATE <table>
SET name = REPLACE(LTRIM(RTRIM(name)), '�', '©')
That should work right? But what do I enter to run this on my specific table/column? I know I have to replace the <table> from above with my own input... but can someone guide me in the right direction. I'm a noob when it's comes to SQL queries.
I have stolen code from another thread in this forum that I am attempting to modify. The original code uses a Microsoft Access database file but I can't create one cos I don't have Microsoft Access. Instead I am using Microsoft Works to create a dBASE IV .dbf file.
This is the code i have attempted to use but it doesnt work. Code:

View Replies View RelatedI have a Parks Database where anyone can see a complete list of parks we have.

View Replies View RelatedThe scenario is that the user enters a description of a special offer into a text box and then can add that record to a database field using the insert method of asp. However, an error occurs if the description has any apostrophes in. For example,
special offer 1: andy's prize plums
could cause an error because the insert looks something like this
"insert into offersTable(offerDescription) values (' " & request.form("description") & "'"
is there some way to escape all naughty characters so they don't cause a problem. Any suggestions very welcome.
I have a dbase containing login details for 21,000 members. I also have a
forum that I am about to implement.
When the user gets to the main site, he has to login (this is done by
checking his credentials against DB1) When he is logged in, all his details
are stored in session variables. Clicking on the forum link will take him to
the forum where he has to log-in or register. Currently, the forum checks
cookies to see if there is a valid name and password and then checks these
against it's own DB (herein called DB2) or requires the user to
login/register
I plan to modify the forum so that the login is bypassed and the forum
accepts the current session name and password as the login. (This is so that
all names on the site main site, chat, forum etc are uniform, i.e Dave47 in
a chat room, is Dave47 in the forum, is Dave47 in the members area etc)
so...what I need to do (if you're still with me) is.
When a new user registers on the main site, his details are put into DB1
*and* DB2. , can I have two data sources open at once?
The reason I need two DBs is that the information in DB1 is a lot less than
is needed by the forum in DB2.
Also how can I copy selected fields from DB1 (name, password for existing
users) into DB2? like I said..there's 21,000 and to do it manually would
take forever.
I am currently working on a small asp application. Now I would like to store the complete database connection in the application object. Note I want to store the connection NOT the connectionstring.

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?
