i have found a problem on my webite is when i try to enter details of a new book
into the DB, i input the ISBN as its uniqueID, the problem is that if the ISBN starts with a zero,
(i.e. 07987654) the DB will remove the zero from the start of the ISBN (i.e. 7977654).
Can someone tell me how to force the DB to store the whole number including the zero at the start?
Does ASP have any function to remove ZEROS from LEft??
or shoud i write one?
000025120 -> 25120
000000012 -> 12
I need to display the time in military form. I came up with the following:Code:
<%= (hour(now)) & ":" & Minute(now()) & ":" & Second(now()) %>
And this works pretty well, except I get things like this:
8:5:2 for 08:05:02
14:2:17 for 14:02:17 (2:02:17 PM)
How do I get the leading zeros before the number if it is less than 10?
How can I read back info from a database into an input field (in case it's to be edited) that will preserve the zeros to the right of the decimal?The zeros are being preserved in the access database when I have a look at it there. I have the field defined as type "Currency" to two decimal places.
I want to preserve those zeros to the right of the decimal point when I read the record into an input tag on a web page.I am trying to use "FormatCurrency(request.form(exp, 2))" and "FormatNumber(request.form(exp, 2))" but it doesn't help.
is there any way to cause a date such as 6/5/2004 to show up as 06/05/2004? Just didn't know if there was an ASP function to do this or not.
im inserting some data into a number field but when i have something like 0000006 it chops it to 6 in the database. and not always are the same number of zeros present. why im not sure just what i have to work with.
I understand that i could make the db value varchar and just validate it by doing something like Isnumeric. But is there a way to keep my zeros but leave it a number field.
I'm looking for a easy way to pull all the zeros out of a variable. They can be leading, trailing, or in the middle. I just want them all gone.
View Replies View RelatedI have a querystring that passes through the value 001 for example, the form on the receiving page need to display that number but with 1 added to it. i have
dim strnum
strnum = request.querystring("value")
strnum = strnum + 1
when displayed <%=strnum%> shows 2 instead of 002, and the zero's are very important, is there any number formating trick i dont know or another way of doing this?i thought about coding the first two zero's in before i call the strnum but this would mess things up when i get to 010 etc.
I have a Development server that is running Win2k, IIS 5.0, and ASP enabled. I am trying to gain access to an Access 2000 DB located on a file server within my domain. I'm pretty sure I have all the correct permissions set, but I am having problems when trying to access the DB.
The error is similar to:
The Microsoft Jet Database engine cannot open the file '******'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
I'm looking for ways to fix this... Microsoft suggests turning off the ability for IIS to sync passwords. Unfortunately, this is not a viable solution for me.
Is it possible to create a new virtual server that is a share to my file server? Put my ASP and MDB file in there and have it work? Anyone have any other ideas?
I'm working on a site that inserts records into an Access database and Access assigns an auto-incrementing id for the record. How can I quickly figure out what id that was just created? I seem to remember there being a function for this....

I'm trying to access a table in a MS Access database using ASP but the name of the table is causing me some trouble. The problem is the table name has a space in it eg, "My Table".
If i try and access it using a query "SELECT * FROM My News", it says i cant find table "My". If i remove the space from the name (to MyTable) it works fine. But the trouble is its a customers database and i cant easily rename it because its linked to other tables and db's.
How can i access a table with a space in its name? I've tried "SELECT * FROM My_News" but that doesnt work either.
I have an ASP page needs to access a remote MS Access2000 database, I got error "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'F:Collect.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. ".
The 'F:' is a mapped drive from remote machine where the access database loactes. If I copy the database back to local box, no problem.
I'm looking to make an online multiplayer game which will utilize Access Database... basically I require thousands of people writing and reading from the same database... I was wondering if this is possible for that... or is mdb file restricted to 1 person at a time...

What is this all about? Generally I run against SQL Server but now I have to use access. The query I want to run is a simple double join
SELECT tblArtists.*,tblGenres.name AS genreName,tblPages.pageId
FROM (tblArtists
INNER JOIN tblGenres ON tblArtists.genreId = tblGenres.genreId)
LEFT JOIN tblPages ON tblArtists.artistId = tblPages.artistId
ORDER BY surName ASC, firstName ASC
Now If I run this question in access against the database it accurateley returns two posts. BUT When I paste the same query into an asp document and runs it with a fileDSN against the same database it returns nothing!? Is this some kind of joke from Microsoft?
I have an Access DB which contains couple of link tables. All these tables are from different databases. So each one has it's own database password. Since there is no way to save the password during the DSN creation. Then you need to manually type in the password each first time when open the table.
This causes the problem in ASP code during run a query. Since the table cannot be accessed due to the password protection. Is there any statement than can open a table and meanwhile pass the password in? Does anyone experienced with the similar situation?
I generate my codes using a generator. My problem is that I can not write into my Access database. I had gone to tools to allow access permission . still nothing.

View Replies View RelatedI have a field in my Access db which is used to put a category against a company, rather like Yellow Pages. The categories are held in another table in the same db. The Category field in my companies table is a look up field using this syntax

My problem is when I want to list a company and do a response.write rs("Category") I get the ID relating to that category rather the description. How can I get the description instead?
I am using Access and ASP.I am just trying stuff out.I created an access database and put some validation in access on some fields.
I created an ASP program to insert into my database.
When I try to insert a record that validates OK with access rules all is fine.
Then I type input that violates the access rules; I hoped to get a helpful message back.
All I got was my message saying an error had occured and it was Error number 0 and native error 2097228.
As I was testing I know it is due to failing a validation in access.
I am learning I wanted to look up this native error, I cannot find it in access help or internet searches where would I look for native errors please?
I know I need to validate client side that is not the issue it is understanding native errors!
I'm trying to search the Access database using 3 fields and I think there's a problem in my If statement...pls check it out for me.....I'm using ASP...this is what I'm trying to do:

View Replies View RelatedI have never dealt with XML before, So this is way out of my realms...
I am trying to get a XML feed into an Access Database..
The XML source can be found here:-
but as you can see.. there is another problem.. the file is in a .GZ format.. so i need some way of Un-Zipping it onto my web host, and then importing the XML data into the database..
Ive looked around, and the only information i can find is un-zipping it onto a local machine, and then uploading the XML file.. but that's not practical.. i don't want my web page to be dependant on my PC at home being logged on...
As for the import of the XML to Access... that's another black hole there.. ive never done anything like this before..
I'm still very much on the learning curve when it comes to writing ASPs and have always used Access for my db. A colleague in work has told me that I should never use access on a commercial site where I'm likely to get a lot of traffic. Is this correct, is Access totally unsuitable?
View Replies View RelatedAlright, I am opening an Access XP database via ASP. One of the fields is a numerical field, and I would like to force it to display the number + 1 digit to the right of the decimal. For some reason it is only displaying digits to the left.
In Design View, my Access Table (names 'arlist') looks like this:
Field Name: level, Data Type: Number, Field Size: Integer, Format: Fixed, Deciaml Places: 1
My SQL Statement: SELECT * FROM arlist;
Then the VBScript I'm using to access the table looks like this:
Response.Write"<TD align=""right"" bgcolor=""" & strBG & """ width=""10%""><P class=""body"">" & rsDC.Fields("level") & "</TD>" & vbCRLF
I am opening the table via ADO Statically with a Read-Only pointer because the page just displays the contents of the table. I've tried everything I can think of to preserve the decimal place. If I view the table in Access, the decimal places are correct.

View Replies View RelatedI have got a display page where im displaying Company ID Company Names with Their Products Added
The data im extracting from the access DB
The thing is as im adding a lot of products for a each company so im adding them in a loop in my Products table
so each time i add a new product with the particular company id the the id gets repated as its in the loop as well and thus each time a new record is being genarated
what i want to achieve is that on a display page where i want to see the data that has been added i just want to get the Company ID not repated and with all the products related to that company id and then the next Id with the products
like ive got 20 products for a company ID 1 so i just want to show that company ID once and with all the 20 products and then go on for the next company ID
how will u do this
do i have to use the distinct thing or do i have to open another recordset and match the id
how can i provide the password for the database access using asp
note that i'm using the recordset object
set dbrs=server.createObject("ADODB.Recordset")
dbrs.open "select *from table_name ","DSN",0,3
and i don't like 2 use the connection object
When just loop the data coming from the table, I see the ID I want updated, so I know it's pulling the data from the table. I can also see that the data from the form is coming across. Can someone look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong or post a sample for me to look at? Code:
