Memo Fields
I have built a search feature for a site which searches 4 fields,2 in one table and 2 in another.It's an Access database.It works a treat when searching for anything except something like "I'd", or "it's" etc.Anything with a hyphen in returns one result,or less than there in fact are.
My SQL statement is as follows:
strSQL = "select id as strID, tableID as strTableID, tagline as strTagline, content AS strContact FROM news where tagline LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' OR content LIKE '% " & searchString & "%' UNION ALL select id as strID, tableID as strTableID, tagline AS strTagline, content AS strContent from databank where tagline LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' OR content LIKE '%" & searchString & "%' ORDER BY strID"
ACCESS Memo Fields
I need to be able to retieve variable length (>255 characters) messages which have been saved in a memo field in an access data base on the server. I am using the following code to test this : -
<%
set objconn = server.createobject ("ADODB.connection")
set objrec = server.createobject ("ADODB.recordset")
objconn.open "DSN=daters"
strsql = "SELECT DISTINCT messages.* FROM messages WHERE messid = 305 ;"
objrec.open strsql, objconn, adopenforwardonly, adlockoptimistic,adcmdtext
%>
<%=objrec("text")%>
The message is found and retrieved but truncated to 255 characters as if it were an ACCESS text field not a memo field.
The message which is originally user created on another page, writes in full to the ACCESS memo field. Also, if I download the data, and retrieve the message offline via an ACCESS form, it displays fully. Seems then like an ADO issue in retrieving memo fields Probably my syntax?
Concatenate Access Memo Fields
I have an ASP that displays two MS Access memo fields in separate table cells just fine. However when I concatenate them with SQL as in "select fld1 & fld2 as temp...." to display them in one cell only part of the first field is displayed in the table. What is causing this?
View Replies View RelatedStruggling With Displaying Memo Fields In Textarea
I'm using an Access database and asp to bring in a series of table contents to textarea fields so if wording wants changing in the database I can do it using an asp form. All works ok apart from a couple of records that are memo fields.
I have displayed the field contents by ..........
<%=(locationwords.Fields.Item("ftexta").Value)%>
and they are shown ok.
If i try and use the same syntax for bringing the memo field in to a textarea nothing is displayed.
<textarea name="textarea" cols="50" rows="2"><%=(locationwords.Fields.Item("ftexta").Value)%></textarea>
Any clues as to what i'm missing to get the text to appear so it can be modified and posted using a form.
Extracting Sentences From Memo Fields Containing Specific Strings
I have an access database and am currenlty using classic asp for most of my coding and am trying to extract sentences from the memo field that contain specific strings, in this case "<b>"
The memo fields contain a lot of data so filtering becomes an issue, so i just want to be able to only display the sentences within the memo field i.e. between "." and "." OR beginning of record and "." OR "." and end of record that contain the string "<b>"
Searching Multiple Memo Fields In Multiple Tables In Access
I have a search option on my website, which should perform a search on 4 fields, as follows:
tblNews
headline
content
tblDatabank
filename
description
It only needs to return matches which are an exact match of their search criteria. For instance, searching for "I am here" would return a record which contained "I am here", but not just "I" or "I am" etc.
I need to return all these records as part of one recordset preferably, as I want to be able to order them etc., though I imagine you may suggest I use an array somehow to merge two recordets etc., then reorder them?
Memo String
I am designing a website and integrated database for my company. In one of my pages I print out a report in which there are many text fields. I create a query and populate an html table based on the results. A major problem I am having is that when I output a memo string to a cell all of the returns that have been recorded in the string show up as spaces. I know that the returns are indeed there, evidenced by printing out correctly in Microsoft Access.I need to find a way to recognize the returns, because this page is intended to be a somewhat formal report.
View Replies View RelatedMemo Datatype
this is really urgent and i cant seem to figure this out.I have his text area, once the user hits the save button, it tranfers the data to a memo datatype field in the database.
ok here's the thing...every time I copy paste something, this thing throws up a wierd error..:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '('text here....
I initially though it would ahve been becuase of the number of characters, but that was not the case.When i type things in and save , e'thing works fine
Memo Formatting
i have an access database which i am displaying on a .asp page-the field i am using is a memo filed full of formatted text.
The code i have been used to using to keep the memo text formatting is: -
[<%=Replace(Recordset1.Fields.Item("Description").Value,chr(13),"<br>")%>]
But the site was created by someone else and the way they place this content is: -
[<%=productdescription%>]
Which obviously does not keep the memo text formatting
Memo To Text
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
When I cheked the code, the problematic line was:
rs_durandal("titulo")= rs("titulo")
rs_durandal("titulo") is a Varchar field in MYSQL, while rs("titulo") is a Memo field in Access.How can I solve this problem?
Memo Snippet
This is my first post here. I have been looking everywhere on the forums and
all over the net but i cannot find anything about this.
I did find one tutorial ages ago but didnt have a use for it at the time.
What i would like to do is have a page that cycles through a database and
display lets say the last 5 new records. Then display the first 200
characters of a memo field and have a "more" link which opens the full
record in a detail page?
Working With A Memo Field
Here is what I am trying to do
filecont = objRS("contents")
filecont = replace(filecont,vbLF,",")
if i use the objRS instead of the filecont in the replace function i get the
same issue. If I do anything with this field (use InStr, or other menial
functions) I get no records can be displayed. The contents field is a memo
field within Access, i am wondering if this is causing the issue?
Content From A Memo Field
I have an Access 2000 db with a memo field.Into the memo field I put text with bold attributes, URL etc etc
What I need to to is converting the rich text contained into the memo
field in plain text.That's because I truncate the string text but if, when I truncate it
there's a rich tag the code following the truncated string is corrupted.Don't know if it's clear enough.
Just to summarize:
1) memo field cointaining rich text
2) I need to transform it in plain text
Display Access Memo
I stored several lines of information in a Access memo field.I use follow ASP response.write statement to display contain of the memo field.
Response.Write sa1("job_detail")
However, all the lines are mixed into one line. How can I show it in the original format?
Information From A Memo Field
I don't know what i am doing wrong. I have an access database,and One of my fields is
Memo format. So when i try to display the information in that field, I was unable to do so, nothing would come up in IE. but the data is there in the fields.something like this.
response.write(rs("description"))
when i changed the field to "text" format, everything worked perfectly fine, ASP was able to display the information stored in that field. But when i changed it back to memo, it would display nothing.is there like a special way of displaying information stored in a Memo field?
Displaying A 'memo' Field
I know how to display a text field from an mdb file. You type: <%= CmdPopulateStates("fieldname") %>
where CmdPopulateStates is declared as:
Set CmdPopulateStates = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
But if 'fieldname' was a memo field rather than text field then the information isn't displayed. In fact, if it's anything other than text then it won't be displayed. How do I display other field types?
Detecting MEMO Field
i'd like to know if there is some way to detect whether a field is of type MEMO (i'm using MS Access) so to behave accordingly placing a textarea instead of a textbox in the UI.
View Replies View RelatedMemo Field Truncated
I have several asp pages that display information from an Access DB. Some of the fields are memo fields. If I use simpler queries such as:
SELECT * FROM " & MyTabla & " WHERE " & MyCriteria
the memo fields are retrieved and displayed Ok.
However, if I use more "complicated" queries such as:
SELECT " & selecti & " FROM " & MyJoin & " GROUP BY " &grupi & " HAVING " & MyCriteria
the memo fields get truncated after the first 255 characters, i.e. only the first 255 characters are returned, but the fields are larger and get retrieved ok if I use the "simpler" queries!
Can't Print An Access Memo Field
I can't print the contents of an Access memo field. Every other field type displays fine but this one.
I saw an old thread saying that you should first assign the memo field to a variable but that also doesn't seem to work (please see the attached bit of code). The memo field is "Message". Code:

Formatted Display Of Memo Field
I am using access Memo field to store text of large size. If I use <%=memofield%> in simple display, it does not look like a formatted field and all text comes in a single line without any break.

Add Line Numbers To Memo Box Output
I have a memo field being called from the DB that needs to be outputted on screen. Every line that prints needs to be numbered whether the new line is formed from a text wrap or from a CrLf.
I am currently counting characters, when I reach 95 I insert a CrLf, increment the linecount, write the new line number and continue outputting. If a CrLf occurs before the 95 it simply increments and continues.
I also restrict the linecount to 40 before inserting a page break in case the output needs to be printed out. Code:
Memo Field And Isnull Issue
i am testing if my memo field (access DB) has anything in it by doing
if isnull(rs("memofld")) then
do this
end if
The script is not picking up a valid value if it is null or not. I have also tried testing for it equalling "" but no lick either.
Read alot of stuff online with people having the same problem but no luck. I have tried selecting the memo field last in the sql query but this makes no difference.
Memo Text Field Width
I have a memo field in my recordset that will have varying amounts of text inserted into it from an online form. This is then uploaded to a table cell. At the minute it is just going in one long line across the table. How can I get this text to wrap or line break at a table width of say 500px. Is this an html or asp solution?
View Replies View RelatedInsert MEMO Field To Access 2000
I have been doing adodb connections and using Access2000 for several lightweight websites. I have never had any problem with any of the SQL commands to insert, update, delete, etc.
I can insert a record into a memo field just fine ... up to a certain number of characters (nowhere near the 65K limit). After several hundred characters, the insert fails ... nothing happens ... the execute just idles and no insert is done. Anyone help? I have read about data types, etc., but everything I read sounds as if ASP and Access 2000 are suppose to handle the type conversions. They have been doing it up to this certain size.

View Replies View RelatedProblem Importing Text In Access Memo Field
I'm using asp to retrieve data from a server and import that data in a client that uses MSAccess, into a memo field. The text hes line breaks 0D 0A (the usual DOS line breaks). However the client sees these line breaks as two squares!
The strange thing is that when I look at the exported text (yes, I also export text from the client to the server), it also contains the same line breaks. So the exported text from the memo field can look exactly the same as the imported text, and before the export the line breaks are correctly shown als line breaks, but after the import that same line breaks are shown as squares! I would like to see line breaks after the import and NO squares.
Cannot Insert Large Text Into Database Memo Field
I'm trying to insert this text into a memo field:
Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
str = Server.MapPath("database/alumni.mdb")
strDB = "Provider=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & str
cnn.Open strDB
Set rst = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql = "INSERT INTO tblMessage (MessageID, UserID, PostTypeID, Subject,
DatePosted, MessageText, Active) Values ('" & vMessageID & "','" &
vUser & "', " & vPostType & ",'" & vSubject & "','" & vDatePosted &
"','" & vMessageText & "',0)"
rst.Open sql, cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
vMessageText = "This is a test just to see if it will blow up on a
large comment. Just testing again. Don't mind me."
Can I put this into my database field or is it too much and if not,
how do I solve this issue. I need to be able to post messages and
input for large fields.
2 Fields
I have 2 fields in my database. One is startDate one is endDate. I want to display records according the current date. So far I can select all records where the startDate is greater or equal to now by using
Code:
SELECT *
FROM items
WHERE itemDateStart >= now
It seems the BETWEEN claus only accepts value, not fields.
So basically I want to select * from items between itemDateStart and itemDateEnd
Key Fields
I have a need to be able to identify which fields within a database are key fields.I did find the Attributes property of the Field object contains information for a field in a recordset. One of those values for the Attributes property is identified as adFldRowId which should identify whether the field is used as a key, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm currently reading off an Access database.Does anyone have any insight in being able to identify key fields within a recordset?

View Replies View RelatedUsing Two Fields
I have a database table and I am building a search-like page which is supposed to pull information from the database based on the following. "Get records where field1 is 30% (or more) higher than field2 within a specific time period". Should these records be chosen by the SQL query itself?
Or should I get all the records within the time period using GetRows, and loop through them checking whether or not it fits the criteria? While I certainly feel more capable of the second approach than the first, I am not sure if its the best way when large numbers of rows are involved.
