I'm currently working on a form that, upon submit, generates an RTF file. I've run into a little formatting issue. If you're typing in a text box, much like this one, and hit Enter to go down to a new line, nothing happens in the RTF coding. For me to have a text box Enter/Line translate into my RTF file, I need to replace it with /par . So, I know about the Replace() string function, but how can I make this work with a carriage return

View Replies View Relatedif its possible to loop through my entire DB Table and do String Case Conversion. I only want to chnage the case of certain fields. I can get each of the field value and update them easily but I need a way to convert them to the case I want.
The standard LCase and UCase function are ok but I want the formating to be mixed like Title case (in MS Word) or Capitalise (text-transform in HTML/CSS). Basically I've some of the values are in upper case some in lower case I want them all to be Title Case Similar To: Html Css Text-transform Like This Line .

I had recently found a function that will write out a currency amount in words. It worked fine until I passed it a variable retreived from the stored procedure.
Well I had to change an "Int()" to "CDbl()" within the function because I got an error: "Variable uses an Automation type not supported in VBScript". I also changed an "(Abs(nAmount)" to an "(Abs(CDbl(nAmount))" because of the same error. Code:

I could really do with some guidance. I am currently hosting my website on a Windows Server, and use ASP pages for accessing MS Access database data and also CDONTS for forms to email.I was just wondering if I were to swap to Linux hosting, how easy or hard ( would it be to change these pages from ASP to PHP with the exact same functionality.
View Replies View RelatedI created a form to allow a visitor to add a new record to a database with the recordset object. Is there any conversion that needs to take place from the form input fields the user gives me to the recordset object? One of my form fields that I have is going to contain a money datatype in my SQL database and so far it's giving a 500 error.
My code in short looks like:
strCurrentPrice=Request("currentPrice")
then upon adding to the database the code looks like:
rsAddCards("currentPrice")=strCurrentPrice
I am calling a recordset from sql which happens to contain one column that is a datetime in the format: DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS. So when I call that column from the db, it displays in the same format within my page.
However, I would like to be able to display the datetime as part of my recordset, but in a more aesthetically pleasing format (i.e: Sunday 1st May 2000, 7.23PM)
I have tried using the formatdatetime() function along with my rs, but this causes syntax errors. I know this is probably dead simple, but I don't get it!
I have a money datatype field in a SQL Server database.
I use the following method to take a value passed in the Request.Form collection and convert it to the double datatype:
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = Request("incrdecrA" & a)
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = replace(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr,"$","")
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = replace(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr,",","")
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = cdbl(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr)
I keep getting a type mismatch 'cdbl' error on the line:
cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr = cdbl(cmd_AlloUpdateM2__incrdecr)
What's weird is I use this in other sections of my code and it works fine...no error. I've checked and re-checked the code and can't find the why this is happening?

View Replies View RelatedAnyone have any code handy to convert a binary number to decimal and a decimal to binary? I need server-side code to perform these calculations.

I am in UK using XP with date format set to dd/mm/yy. I am running an asp
site from a server in USA, which is returning the date from a database field
retrieved as objrec("todate") in US format mm/dd/yy.
To rectify this so as not to confuse visitors to the site I am trying to get
the date displayed as dd month yy , e.g. 25 January 04 by using the format
function format(objrec("todate"), "d-mmmm-yy"). This returns me a VBScript
runtime error "Type mismatch: 'format' "
The data base field "todate" is stored in short date format, which should be
OK shouldnt it?
My database is being converted from Access to MySQL. My question is how do I maintain the database once the switch has taken place? Are there freeware MySQL administration GUI's or something? I'm a little clueless here.
View Replies View RelatedI have never used dates in ASP or Access (due to being really new to both), but I have trawled the Forum and have come away even more than I started.
I need to input a date that the user puts on a form into a DB.
The DB field is set as a date data type with the format "short date"
Now when the user inputs data using my form everything is entered into the DB except the date
here is how I am trying to enter the date
If Request.Form("renewal_date") <> "" Then
oRS.Fields ("renewal_date") = cdate(Request.Form("renewal_date"))
End if
But it is not working. I am getting no errors it is just leaving the DB field empty.

View Replies View RelatedI need to input into an Access database a string. My problem occurs when the string that I grab from an HTML form has a 'in it. I understand why it is doing it. However I do not understand how to fix it.
how do you grab a string from an ASP page such as: "Hello what's up" and place it into an database through ADO. The problem is the single quote. I know how to insert values into a database.
Code:
DIM mySQL
Dim start_week_1
Dim end_week_1
Dim date_param
date_param = "09/28/2006"
start_week_1 = date_param-(datepart("d", date_param)-1)
end_week_1 = start_week_1 + 6
I keep receiving the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: '[string: "09/28/2006"]'
/Overtime/SQL.asp, line 43
I know that there is a conversion necessary. Possibly Cast(date_param as varchar),but that does not seem to work.
In an ASP page, I use the result (named y) of an external object (which has been called by server.createobject) This result, y, is an array of double (of size (n,1)). As it's not a variant, ASP send me an error (type incompatible) when I want to use it.
Is it possible to convert y in a variant type so that I can use it to make some computations in ASP ?
