View Replies View RelatedSelect 4 Records, Randomly From Database
Is this do-able with ASP / VBscript?
-- I have a database with user records (name, photo, etc. etc.)
I want to use asp to generate (on the homepage) a series of 4 randomly selected 'user records' from the database -- say just the headshot photo or name from the database.
In addition to the recordset being randomly generated (i.e. our of about 50 records, only records 4, 18, 23 and 26 are displayed) I need to MAKE SURE they are not duplicated (i.e. out of the 50 records, records 4, 18, 23 and 23 -- where the last two are duplicates).
Is there a way I can pull this off and how do I go about it exactly?

View Replies View RelatedSelect The Last Record
This is my problem. I am adding to a table called Case the details of a case.Now the primary key for that, is an ID which is generated automatically by the DB.
I also have two relational tables related to the Case table, so I need to add records there. For this I need the case_id
just generated by the database when I added the case. What would be a good way to get that case_id?
I also need the case_id, because the interface to add info to the case table is spread across two tables, so when the user goes to the first page and "saves and continues" I want to store the case_id for the second interface page.If I select all the records from case, would I select the newest record first or would it be the last?

View Replies View RelatedSelect RANDOM Record
Ok here is what I'm trying to do. I want to grab a random record from a specific table. This is how I am doing it now:
x = 0
Set rs = Conn.Execute("SELECT Count(*) as total FROM [user] WHERE active = '1'")
If rs.EOF <> True then
total = rs("total")
End if
Randomize timer
randnum1 = int(rnd * total)
If randnum1 = 0 then
randnum1 = 1
End if
rs.close
set rs = nothing
Set rs = Conn.Execute("SELECT * FROM [user] WHERE id = '" & randnum1 & "' ")
Now that would work fine, BUT the id is a autonumber int of 1.
Now look at this example. Let's say I have 50 records, so I have the ID values of 1 through 50. Now I delete record number 46. So now my count goes up to 49. So the random number will pull up ANY number between 1 and 49, so if it pulls up 46 then BAAAM record can not be found.
There has to be an easier/more efficient way of getting a random record. I don't plan on deleting any records, but I just don't feel this is the best way of doing this.

what i would really LOVE is for someone to fill in whatever required parameter im missing, but more important i would like to understand whats going on. there are people who go through life dumb and happy once something "works", but i need to understand how and why its working. even if this code did work, im confused with the SELECT statement (no, i dont have much SQL experience aside from basic queries). what is the "r = Rnd" line doing in the middle of the querie? how am i ordering by r?? also, i dont have an indexed, primary "ID" field in this databae. is that ok for this code to work?

View Replies View RelatedASP / Access In Frontpage - Simple Select
I am using asp within frontpage in this situation.
I am doing a simple select from one table, the table has a date field, the select should basically show the next 5 upcoming events based on date. I want to use a "current date" variable in there so the events that show are not in the past (i.e. upcoming events, not past).
I created a query in access and used the now() function for the date, but when I do, that the query does not work within the asp page (it does work within access itself).

View Replies View RelatedAccess Record From Link In An Email
Ok.. I have a form the user fills out. An email is sent to them and one to our office with a link to the DB so they can view all the info. My form works fine, my emails work fine. The info gets inserted in to the DB fine.
What I would like to do is:
When the link is sent to our office, I would like it so when they click the link it opens the DB right to the info from the link. You know, like when you get an email from here saying someone posted your link has it set so when you click it, it will go right to that post.
So there you have it, any takers.. I sure could use this, otherwise they open the DB and have to search for the info and they do not like having to do much work..

I'm not an expert in ASP 3.0 and therefor I'm using dreamweaver 8 to create asp pages(ASP 3.0 VB), but dreamweaver does not have such kind of fuction(server behavior) to do this and so I have to create this by hand.
Now I already have page with the form that updates the record in the database, and I also have another page that does the mailing(CDONTS), first it updates the record in the database and in dreamweaver I have set "after insert the record go to mail_processing.asp" , but this does not work.
I can only get one to work, either only update the record or only mail the form data.
How can I make it to update and mail at the same time?

Change Record In Access Database With Submit Button
I have a simple table "Line" with Columns Key, OrderNumb, Panels, Gates, Posts, Color, Memo, Comp. A user enters the information into the powder.asp page. It is then added to the database. The Comp Column is populated NO by a hidden input type. The data is then displayed on a page in a table and the last column has a submit button.
When the user Presses that button I would like it to update that record in the database to change Comp to YES. Some code snipits are below. The first is where the data is presented and where the submit button is. It then will go to the next snippet that hypotheticly will change just the Comp on that record to YES. I am not sure if I am not executing the SQL correctly or something but it will not change that order number row comp to 'yes'. Code:

Populate A Popup Window With Clickable Records From An Access DB And Upon Clicking, Populate A Selectbox On The Original Webpage With The Clicked Record
We have an ASP site that hits up an Access database of categories of
products and products. (e.g. Categories = Napkins, Tablecloths;
Products = 20x20 Napkins, 21x21 Napkins, 54x54 Tablecloths, 60x60
Tablecloths)
We currently have select boxes that when you select a category, it
populates the next select box with the proper list of products (i.e. I
select Napkins as a category, I get a listing of the Napkins)
We would like to put a clickable link before each of these select
boxes that would pull up a pop up with links from the records from the
proper table.
(e.g. I click the categories link and a popup with html
anchor tags of Napkins and Tablecloths appear) I click on the Napkins
anchor and it populates the Categories Select box with Categories and
Napkins being selected.
