Tricky 'Order By' Situation.
I've got about 400 Billion (slight exaggeration) towns listed in a table of an Access db. Client wants to be able to sort them alphabetically by town name. Small problem - a significant number of them are prefixed by "Town of " or "City of ." So, for example, "City of Zanzibar" would be incorrectly listed before "Dansville" and "Town of Abernathy" would be incorrectly listed after "Smithtown."
How can I phrase the SQL query to ignore those prefixes when sorting them? They still need to keep the prefix when they are displayed, however. What I think I need is some sort of conditional statement that says if the town name starts with Town of or City of, trim off those first 8 characters (includes the spaces) before sorting, otherwise, just sort as usual.

What should happen is if the record has terms_req=no the the go link
will do as its doing now. If however the record has terms_req=yes then
the go link should go to the terms.asp as it does now.
Client then reads the terms and either agrees or declines. If they agree
the "agree" button/link should forward them on to their original request.
As of now have not been able to get the original url request to carry through
to the terms.asp page.
Have listed the request.server.variables available to the terms page just in case it
helps anyone figure this out.

We have an ASP application running on Windows Server 2003 that is not
functioning correctly. The original page for the application is login.asp.
I have login.asp configured as one of the default pages for the application.
As long as I bring up the site http://sitename/appname , the login.asp page
loads fine.
If I call http://sitename/appname/login.asp, I get a "The
system cannot find the file specified. " error. If I use the
http://sitename/appname call to bring up the site, the login.asp page loads
fine the first time but fails when I submit the login form back to itself.
Very strange behavior!
Any ideas which may cause the page to load when used as the default page but
not when it is explicitly called?

I have a this code the grabs the user NT login on a page:
strCae_Name = request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
<%=strCae_Name%>
It displays the following User name: Cable/rmirto7777. Now I would like to remove the Cable/ part and just keep rmirto7777 only. Keep in mind that Cable/ part doesn't change only what comes after it and everyone has a different User name. Therefore it changes constantly! I tried alot of ways by using the function but came unsuccessful. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can achieve this goal by getting what comes after Cable/ to display on my page.

This is a follow up to a question I asked two weeks ago which I thought was solved but on further inspection I realised it wasn't working fully. I have an ORDER BY on my search results page, the search uses two dropdown menus, the first one is start character (A-Z), and the other is grade.
The problem I have is that the ORDER BY work perfectly when I leave the start character dropdown blank, and when I use the grade selection dropdown, but when I select a start character I get this error message:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'
Characters found after end of SQL statement.
/html/advanced_comic_search.asp, line 56
Can any one shed any light on this for me?

I am using an sql inner join like below:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblPage INNER JOIN tblNews ON tblNews.NewsID=tblPage.pageID ORDER BY newsDate DESC"
However this orders both by newsDate which causes problems with the ordering of the page, As I want the page not to be ordered just the news item.

An ASP page outputs data from the query
"Select ThisAndThat from comments WHERE pageURL='" & pageURL & "' ORDER BY
threadID, datesent"
(Access mdb)
threadID is a string (OK, I know!), which means that 103 displays before 99.
Is there a way to write the SQL query to order them numerically? This would
be much easier for me than changing the data type and hunting down every
page that INSERTS or UPDATES the db.

I am extremely confused about how i should go about doing this:
I have puled out current orders and have displayed in a table .These orders have their own order numbers.
Once the person clicks on first order,the order is displayed in a form,where the user can edit the order details and hit submit.
Now when he hits submit ,I want his to go the previous page where the orders are displayed in table ,so that he can click on the next order and process it/OR may be whent he user hits submit ,i want the next order directly to be displayed in the form.

At the moment I have:
SQL = "SELECT sample.* FROM sample WHERE (id = " & teamid & ") ORDER by pos"
Which orders my players like:
ATT
DEF
GK
MID
in alphabetical order.
Is there anyway to specify this order so that it still orders the players by "pos"(position) but in this order:
GK
DEF
MID
ATT

I have used ASP for years using MS Access and have used MSSQL quite a lot as
well. I have never came across something like this before.
MSSQL table names and types:
ProductName nvarchar
ShortDescription nText
ThumbNail nvarchar
etc
When I have the recordset in the order as follows, all works well:
(Recordset2.Fields.Item("ProductName").Value)
(Recordset2.Fields.Item("ShortDescription").Value)
(Recordset2.Fields.Item("Thumbnail").Value)
Though if I have the Thumbnail first the description does'nt show.

I've got a site with PayPal and Google Checkout payment options. The checkout page formats two HTML forms, containing bespoke cart code - one posts to PayPal, the other to Google Checkout.When an order is placed, it needs to be updated back on my site, so that the order is marked as 'paid' in the database. When this is done with PayPal, I just provide a hidden field in the form called 'invoice' containing my id number for that transaction. This is returned in my IPN, and I update the database accordingly. However, I can't find a similar field in Google. Their example code all seems to be in XML and is WAAAAAAAAY more complicated than I need it to be. I just need to send a value with my cart code to Google Checkout, and have that value returned after the transaction has completed.
I've set up Google Callback, and the page is being called and the order is being written to my google log txt file, I just need this to contain my order id number for the transaction so I can just add the logic to update the database based on this id number.

I am processing the variables from a form submission with a for/next loop. The problem is that the order of the variables are NOT written IN ORDER.
Form field 1 prints fine but then it jumps to Form field 9 and then back to Form field 4 then to Form field 2, etc. IS there a way to process the form variables in a loop in ORDER? field 1, field 2, field 3, etc? Code:

I have a form that is created dynamically, and all is working fine. But I want users to add an sort order to help list phrases in a certain order.
<input type="text" name="AdvantSort" value="" size=1>
<input type="checkbox" name="Advantages" value="10">
Phrase1
<input type="text" name="AdvantSort" value="" size=1>
<input type="checkbox" name="Advantages" value="20">
Phrase2
so on, so forth...
And one clicks on the form, and a SQL statement is executed.
However, when I create the SQL statement,
INSERT INTO table1
(FormId,AdvantageId,SortOrder)
VALUES (<call from form ID>,<advantages>,<advantsort>)
Then it loops to allow the next phrase to be entered. The statement also takes the value from every other sort order value including that ones that are in different lines. Which in result, gives me an error, saying the insert columns exceed that of the available columns in the table.

If I have several fields:
a | b | c | d | e
and the original SQL = SQL & " ORDER BY a ASC ".
I want to place links to b, c, d, e to make the table of results to show by ascending order of b (or , c, d, e).
do I need to place an "if/ end if" in the sql or do I put some statement in the paging?
example
a (ORDER BY a ASC)| b | c | d | e
1 | 3 | z
2 | 2 | y
3 | 1 | x
4 | 5 | w
5 | 4 | v

a | b (ORDER BY b ASC)| c | d | e
