Database Field Types
I pass a table name into my program dynamically. I could display the data by looping through the object.Fields for both the field name and the field data using object.GetRows.
What I have not figured out is if there is a way to figure out from the Fields what type of field (ie. Numeric, Text) it is.
Certainly I could check the actual data once it is read, but is there a way to figure out the field type without doing that? Perhaps an object property of a recordset that I am not familiar with?

%>

I am writing a basic tournament submit site for a poker tournamen
group I am in. The situation is we want to use code to calculate wha
we owe other members at the end of the week. The way I figured to d
this is read from the database and store tournament numbers in an arra
then run a query for each tournament and cycle through the tournamen
data assigning the information where needed. I can not find if you ca

I have an access database with year designations for field names, such 2005 2004 2003 ... and data corresponding thereto. I can formulate a query in MSAccess and it works just fine. However, I am trying to create a web page that will create a database
connection and use SQL to create a recordset(s) which I can then manipulate in vbScript.
The problem seems to be structuring a query that will work in
vbScript. I have tried several combinations:
rs2.Open "SELECT 2005,2004,2003 FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
rs2.Open "SELECT '2005','2004','2003' FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
rs2.Open "SELECT "2005","2004","2003" FROM Table", conn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
but none of these will extract data.
I have also tried casting these numbers to strings in a string variable, but still no success.
Is there some naming convention I am violating by simply using year designations as field names or is there a problem with vbScript?

I have a "csv file" as a database.
The 1st row contains the field names:
Orion.Accounts.AccountName,Orion.Accounts.Address1
the code I use normally works:
<%=rs("Orion.Accounts.AccountName")%>
Although in this case is doesn't because the fieldnames contain full stops.
how to modify this line:
<%=rs("Orion.Accounts.AccountName")%>

I want to search 2 of my database fields (title and description) for search terms entered in a form. I can do a 'LIKE' but how do I cover searching for each word in the string that has been submitted? For example, if someone searches for 'World Cup Final', I want to search both database fields for 'world', 'cup' and 'final'.

I have a form that inserts a student's course choices into an Access db. The student can choose from 4 options in a day. From a drop down box that is populated from the db.
Each course has a field called count1, count2, count3 and count4 which are the class sizes for those sessions. When they choose a session, I have a bit of ASP that takes '1' away from the count.
However, I need to validate the form when it is submitted so that if course = 0 a message pops up to say the course in that session is full. At the moment, the drop down boxes are populated by SQL that says only show if count>0 but if a lot of students load the page at the same time they can all subscribe to it - so I am getting -4 in some sessions. I need to check whether the course in that option is full i.e. '0' when the form is validated and then for it to tell them that that particular session is full.

I am trying to take a name that is in a database field and rearrange it to place it in a session variable. For example:
Database Field:
SMITH, JOHN
What I would like to see:
JOHN SMITH
Instead of - Welcome SMITH, JOHN
I would prefer - Welcome JOHN SMITH
Can this be done when requesting a form variable or does it have to be done when viewing the recordset variable.

I'm running PWS on a Windows ME machine to do some WAP development. I need to set up some mime types so that PWS can deal with .wml .wbmp and .wmls WAP files.
I'm told this can be done by either via the Folder Options -> File Types from a Windows Explorer or by editing the registry. I've tried both of these but to no avail.

I am trying to determine if a field in a database is empty or not. The code I have is this....
(before this I have code that opens up the database, gets the data from the table. the var "content" holds the data if any from the database.)
if content = "" then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
This doesn't seem to work. I also tried...
if (content) then
alert1 = "content field is empty"
else
alert1 = "content field contains text"
end if
No luck yet. Any ideas?

I have an ASP variable called IRNvar:
If IRNvar(0,num) = "True" then
IRNvar(0,num) = 1
else
IRNvar(0,num) = 0
end if
In my sql database I have a True/False field called VariantFlag which is a bit data type. The IRNvar value is numeric. I am trying to insert the 1 or 0 into the database so that the field shows true or false accordingly but I get a 'Type Mismatch' error. Here's the insert statement:
SQL = "INSERT INTO Documents (CNID, DocumentPrefix, DocCategory, DocumentName, VariantFlag, PartNo, PartDesc, NewIssue, StatusID) VALUES ('" & CNID & "', '" & IRNprefix & "', '" & IRNcat & "', '" & IRNnumber & "', " & IRNvar & ", '" & PartNum & "', '" & IRNDesc(0,num) & "', 'A', '5')"
Is there a way to convert the number to the right data type? Am I doing something wrong? I'm quite new to all this so it's probably something silly.

I will be placing an extra field which will say "apply now" and on selecting this you will be taken to a new page where you can fill in your details and email them to the employer.
My problem is I need to know how to get a field in the form that will automatically fill in the title of the vacancy being applied for from the database.

Assume I have three types of users.
Type I can only Read Posts.
Type II can Read and Edit. And
Type III can Read, Edit and Delete Posts.
Now to manage this, do I need to make three different users in my DB or should I just use ASP to determine that what permissions should every user have. For example, Type I users will not have the edit and delete button on thier screens and Type II users won't have delete button on their screens and Type three would have all three buttons.
Even if I make different users in my DB (assuming it's necessary for security), so how would I determine that what connection string should I connect a specific user with since we have to give the user name and password on the ADODB connection string?

Why am I only able to create 60 currency type fields in Access 2002 (Build 10.4302.6735) SP3?
If I try to create more than 60 Currency type fields, I will get an error that says, "Too Many Fields Defined. Errors were encountered during the save operation. Data types were not changed."
What if I need more currency type fields - like about 32 more? Do I need to create two separate related tables?

I'm currently using a document upload script and saving the filename to a database field as such: Code:
RS("Title") = Form("SourceFile").FileName
What I'm trying to do is evaluate that files type (ie. doc, xls, txt...) and fill in another database field with just the document type or a variable representing it. Is there a way to just strip off the last three letters of the form input and save that seperately?

I have a selection of MP3's on my website, (non-copyrighted of course), I have an asp page that list the directory of MP3's which then provides a link to another ASP page to force download the file.
<%
Response.AddHeader "content-disposition","attachment; filename=" & Request.QueryString("fname") & ""
%>
Up until the weekend just gone, this worked fine, but now it only downloads a 0 byte file.
Obviously my code hasn't changed, so has anyone any other ideas whats gone wrong or another way the force download of a known mime type can be acheived.

I am pulling legislation information and expiry dates from an access database and posting to the web. The expiry dates in access are formatted as Month Day, Year (EG.. January 1, 2006) But when they are pulled from the database to the web, they come out as 01/01/06. I know that the format we have in access is simply a mask, however we require that format be carried through.
This is likely a simple solution, however I am new to ASP and can't seem to locate any information on this. I have searched the forum for related info on this but can't find anything that relates to my specific situation.
Here's the code we are using so far...
Code:
<%
Do While NOT Recordset.Eof 'i.e. carry on looping through while there are records
Response.write "<tr><td>"'open row and first cell
Response.write Recordset("Legislation")
Response.write "</td>"'close first cell
Response.write "<td>"'open second cell
Response.write Recordset("Repealed")
Response.write " "
Response.write Recordset("Expiry_Date")
Response.write "</td></tr>" 'close row
Recordset.MoveNext 'move on to the next record
Loop
%>
I have also found and implemented the following code:
Code:
dt=recordset("Expiry_date")
dt=Month(dt)&"/"&day(dt)&"/"&year(dt)
response.write(dt)
This lets me change the positions of the numbers, but I can't figure out how to make it display the full month name and full year.
