Displaying Images At Random From SQL Query String
I have a database of images with captions that I need to display at random on an ASP page. Once I have pulled out my recordset, what's the best way to select on item at random from the recordset to display? Also, at first I might have only 5 items in my recordset, how can I avoid the same item repeating 3 times in a row if the person clicks refresh?

However, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it.
<%
limit=3
redim link(limit)
redim image (limit)
link(1)="xxx"
image(1)="image1.jpg"
link(2)="xxx"
image(2)="image2.jpg"
link(3)="xxx"
image(3)="image3.jpg"
randomize
random=int(rnd*limit)+1
%>
<center>
<a href="<%= link(random) %>">
<img src="<%= image(random) %>" border="0"></a>
Making It Random (getting Random Numbers)
I just wanted to know whats the best way to generate 50 or say X amount of number at random without having to repeat any of the previous number...
so far I've the following:
[VBS]<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
function RandomNumber()
dim theRandom
Randomize
'RandomNumber = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
theRandom= Int((99 - (0) + 1) * Rnd + (0))
if (theRandom<10) then theRandom = "0" & theRandom
RandomNumber = theRandom
end function
%>[/VBS]
and then I've this in the body of HTML doc: Code:
Random Token Generator - Not Really Random
We have the need to have a random token (a 16 char alphanumeric field) to be used as the key for one of our SQL tables. I have created a random token generator, however after only 3 months in production, it appears that we had an instance where a token that already existed in the tables was created. There are 3810 records currently in the database so it isn't like there are billions of records there.
I contacted an old college buddy of mine who is a mathematician, and he claims, assuming that random really does mean random, that the chances of getting a duplicate token are 1 in 79.5 septillion (79,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So my conclusion is that this was either a complete freak of nature occurance, or my random generator isn't really all that random. Here is the code behind how I am generating this: Code:
Random Number Not Random
I am trying to generate a random number. I am using randomize and then rnd to return a decimal number between 100 and 120. This will give me a longitude. I am doing something similar to generate a latitude.
I created this on a page which refreshs every minute. I put these points into a map and they are showing up in groups of straight lines. Since rnd is time based will refreshing every 60 seconds return similar numbers?

More Than One Selection
I have a web page where a user can select a location out of a possibility of 5. I also give them the option of seraching all 5.
However when I put this in it get rids of the drop down box and puts them all in an open box about 2 inches in length. Which isn't too bad but if I say had 20 locations it would take up half the page.
Record Selection
I have a form field called Streets that contains 'HIGH STREET,MAIN STREET'
I have a field in my access db called StreetName a single record would contain one street and I want to return all records that have a StreetName in the Streets field. How would I go about this?

Combo Selection
I am working in an asp/Vb script environment.In a form I have 2 combo boxes.first is main criteria and second one is sub criteria.in the first combo I have made predefined enteris(the headers of the table)say a table is:emp and its headers are:empid,empname,L1manager,accounts,location etc.
on a change event of first combo,I want to fetch the details from the table.say if I selected Ename in first combo.the second combo should automatically fetch the listed Enames and vice versa.
Combo Box Selection
My left frame contains a combo box which loads the selected record in the main frame.The combo box retrieves concatenated 3 columns from my db. E.g. ID, Firstname & Surname.
Because of this, it seems to blow out the size of the frame,thus ruining my nav system.Does anyone know how I can restrict the box width, but allow the drop down part to remain wide?
Paging With Selection
I have searched through a lot of paging articles. But I have not found any specific recommendations for my issue. I have a large record set that I need to page through (1000 records). But on each page (100 records) I must be able to select some rows, add
some comment for each and sumarize them on-the fly.
if I page forward and backward, I still need to see before selected rows with comments and I can even deselect or edit some of them. Should I store all this information (selection, comment, price) in session variables or is there a better way?

Server Selection
My site is running on IIS5.0 hosted on win2k service pack 4 m/c. We are going to procure high end windows M/C . I seek your advice in selecting right os and version of IIS. My comp is a bit hesitant to migrate to .net too (I don’t know planning of comp in future).My requirement should be
1) Same Program should run on new server with minimum changes.
2) If required we can migrate to .net (although planning is not in near future and I even don’t know what is needed for that)
Your advice in this regard is highly appreciated. Also if you can explain in short about new feature in IIS6.0 (or upper version). Which version of IIS come along with Windows 2003 server, I really have very little knowledge in this field.

Need To Convert This Sql Query For Access To Identical Sql Query For Sql 2005..
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.

View Replies View RelatedUPS Rate Selection Tools
Has anyone used the UPS e-tools such as address verification and rate selection service? I'm trying to implement it on our site and I would just about kill to see some source code. It's a little above my coding level and I just can't seem to figure it out.
The documentation goes into a VB sample, but I dont think that is necessary since you can perform an HTTP POST and parse XML in an ASP page.

Maximum Allowed On Selection Box?
I have a script that has worked flawlessly for a while. It allows a user to select from a listbox - with highlighted lines already of their settings, multiple lines (CTRL-SHFT) and the page updates the database properly.
Now, for some reason, I have a user that when we load their settings, all is fine. If I submit the form, immediately, with no new additional selections, all works fine. But, if I add even one new selection on the list box by holding CTRL-SHFT, the submit button no longer works at all.
This user does have a long list of selections already, I am just wondering if I may have hit a max some how?
