a way to view the contents of a variable. But That variable could be one of several variables. So, I would like to pass in the name of the variable as a string into a function, and pull out the contents of that variable.
Does any one know how many characters possible in a variable name in ASP? Is it only 15 characters long or could it be more? i.e. could the variable name be ThisIsTheFirstName I do not name my variables like this but I would like to know the max length possible.

I return a large rs with multiple feild names. I can't use a static feild def because they would overwrite each other on the loop, SO i create dynamic field names then pass the id back to the next page via javascript. I then use that id to add to the feild name to make sure I get the right feild.
if there is a quick way of converting a string into an actual variable.The reason I ask this is to save me having to type each variable name out when trying to request the values from a form.
Is it possible to change a variable name? I need to store some information to be displayed to the users in a variable but I need to change the name of this variable. So what I need to do is read some info from the db, create a recordset and then read the first row of the recordset and store the result in a variable named Answer_1, read the next line and store the result in the variable Answer_2, is it possible?
I have a web page that accesses a database to pull news stories down and create a link to another page that is populated with the news stories. These stories take up enough space that the page has to scroll. I want to be able to have the links it generate go directly to an anchor on the second page where the news story begins.
Can someone point me in the right direction to a place where I can get more information about this?
I am trying to write a script that will insert a commercial (randomly choosing from 3 commercials) prior to a news video clip. I need to have the page dynamically created using asp (or at least I think I do).

Basically, I would like to create a folder on my server for each user that comes to my site based on their last name which they enter. The code I have below is incomplete as I don't know how to incorporate the lastname into the CreateFolder method.
dim lastname, objFSO lastname = Request.Form("lastname") Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") folder = Server.mapPath("/test/") objFSO.CreateFolder(folder) Set objFSO = Nothing
What I am trying to do would be useful to many sites that have product listings or archieved articles.

I have a little code to add multiple items to a shopping cart based page. This code works perfect, but it adds all of the info to the same input fields every time it loops. I need it to change the input names each time it loops. Here is the code:

Working on a survey with results going into an Access (2002) database. Each survey-taker would be a new, unique entry in the survey-taker table, and the primary key is set as an autonumber.
The survey is several pages long, and I need a way for the autonumbered primary key to carry over to each page in order to keep the results together.Would creating a session variable tied to the primary key work, or am I going about this all wrong? If a session variable would work, how do I tie it to an autonumber?
Im currently studying an HND in computing at uni and i am having a MARE of a time trying to work out my ASP as this is a major project and i tihnk i have thrown myself in at the deep end.
Basically what i want to do is Pull details up from a table in access but i want each row to be put into a seperate forms and make some of the fields that i have pulled from Access into text fields so that i can enter data into them and then save this data back into the table.

I have a spare parts database that I am working on. All that needs to be stored is the part description, what it goes to, and the quantity in stock.
Since that's all that I need, I want to be able to allow the user to edit the quantity right on the results page, through a textbox. Just change the number in the textbox for each part, press the button, and voila, it's all saved to the database (and is redisplayed for your convenience.)
However, there is no set amount of part rows. Right now, I'm creating the text boxes using the id of the item (i.e., name="quantity<%=RS("partID")%>"), but I'm not certain how to call the variables to put in an insert.
What is the syntax for dynamic/variable variables (if they even exist in ASP)?
I would like to read the dynamic contents of an asp page and set these in a variable. In php I can do it with the help of include, but include is not exactly the same in asp. Any clue?

I have a web application which saves files to a server and emails the file as an attachment. I generate a unique name for each file by concatenating a unique numeric string so the file name is unique and cannot be accidentally be overwritten. I also store the original name of the file. Is there any way to rename the attachment when I send it so it doesn't have the unique name but rather the orignal one.
