Randomize Function Problem
I'm using a randomize function to display a different featured product, but there are certain items that I want to omit. Here's the code I'm using:
<%
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/theDB.mdb")
randomize
rdm=int(rnd*15)+246
sql = "SELECT * FROM kbs WHERE kbs.id = " & rdm & " AND kbs.subject NOT IN (20,21)"
set rs=conn.execute(sql)
%>
It's selecting a range of product IDs and it's s'posed to exclude all IDs whose subject is either subjectID 20 or 21. It works fine except when it comes to items with those subjects and then it displays this error message:
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted. Requested operation requires a current record.

I was asked to create a test with 50 questions using MS Access (that's all we can afford). All question will load then show in random order (no duplicates, plus a link for the next question) then provide a "Thank you!" page at the end. This is so even when two people take the test they will have all 50 questions but each in a different order.
I've found several samples, some would let display the questions but in the same order everytime, while others would randomize them but with duplicates and I would'nt know when I got to the end because it would keep randomizing all day long.

how can i randomize pages ?
Eg. when a user login and he click on a link, he will come to a start page(start.asp) and when he click on the button continue (take_test.asp), he will get the randomized page (question_1.asp or question_4.asp...question_3.asp etc)

I want to do something that should be simple, it is in php, but i can't seem to find any array functions in asp to do this. I have an array with x number of items (the x may change, could be 10/50/etc.) that will start with 1 and end with x.
For example (excuse my poor syntax):
myArray[0] = 1
myArray[1] = 2
myArray[2] = 3
myArray[3] = 4
etc.
What I want is to call a function and randomize the array as a new array, so for example:
randArray[0] = 3
randArray[1] = 1
randArray[2] = 4
randArray[3] = 2

i trying to generate randomize number between in the range of 1 to 9999 using the below code. DNum* is between 1 - 9
RandValue = CLng((2^7*(ID1Num1))+(2^6*(ID1Num2))+(2^5*(ID1Num3 ))+(2^4*(ID1Num4))+(2^3*(ID1Num5))+(2^2*(ID1Num6)) +(2^1*(ID1Num7))+min1+min2+sec1+sec2)
then i put the randvalue where is usually generate number between 400-to-1500 into the below formula, any suggestion on how to improve the below code?
num_pmax = Int((9999 * Rnd) + 1)
num_pmin=1
value1 = Int((Num_pmax-Num_pmin+1)*Rnd+Num_pmin + RandValue)

i trying to randomize a string of text inc. number and alpha. e.g. 024053J
what is the approach to generate a few integer numbers from this string "024053J" ?
i tried to this way of randomize but not very efficient as in sometimes the user will get the same numbers back when the page is refresh.
So i thought to use a string of text to generate the randomize numbers.
randomize()
num_pmax=100
num_pmin=1
r2=Int((num_pmax-num_pmin+1)*rnd+num_pmin)

I want to use the instr function, but return results from it depending on surtain functions, I can't realy explain so I'll show my example:
I have a string in wich some word I want to find might be in diffrent Capital Letters order, I want the Instr function to return all the values of the place of that word (avcourse I'll run a for and increase the starting point of the Instr func until it returns 0). The instinct thought is to use the Lcase or the Ucase functions, but in this case I don't know how to use them. In the same Idea I wanted to use the Instr Func with the trim Func, But Its realy the same principle if I just understood how to do so.

I know the basic difference between a subroutine and a function is a
subroutine performs a task and a function performs a task and returns a
value. The Call keyword is required when using parens with subs with more
than 1 parameters. Parens around values passed are ByVal vs ByRef and is a
waste of processing if passed ByRef for no reason.
I am told there is no reason to ever use a subroutine as a function can be
used even if it doesn't return a value. While this appears to be true, is
there any reason why it's ever a bad idea to use a function, instead of a
subroutine, that doesn't return a value? Are there memory, performance,
etc. issues?

I am trying to locate information on how to call a sub within VBScript on an
ASP page but I can't locate generic information. What I want to do is
generate a page that will stay up but the information on it will change
based on a series of drop down boxes. I need the first drop down box to call
a second dropped down box based on the state that is chosen then city and so
on.

I used to be quite an experienced ASP programmer but I haven't used it for a while
I’m trying to do something that I remember as very simple I'm trying to check that the value of a form text box is numerical using the isNaN function. The code I am using is:
<%
quantity = Request.Form("number1")
if isNaN(quantity) = true then
Response.Write "Your input was not a number"
else
Response.Write "Your input was a number"
end if
%>
All I get is a NaN type mismatch error.
