Displaying Mailto Link In A Database
I am developing a simple little application for a client that allows them to do an employee lookup. This small Access database contains only a few fields such as name, job, email address etc.
However, when the data is pulled from the database, I would like my ASP pages to create the email as a mailto command when pressed. I'm not sure how to go about this.
I tried creating a mailto: link on the dynamic text but that hasn't worked.
Can anyone assist?

ok I have a page that displays all of the 3000+ records of people, phone numbers, and email addresses. on this page I have added a link that combines all of the e-mail addresses into one mailto: link so that we can mass notify these people of upcoming projects. the problem is that i think the link is too big for the browser to handle. the view source shows that everything is there but i cannot click the link. i have tried both IE and FireFox to no avail. The code is below just in case i have a typo or something...
sql = "Select * from people WHERE (IsNull(m_idstatus) OR m_idstatus <> 'id2') AND (m_email Like '%@%')"
...
y = 0
do while not rs.eof
If (rs("m_email") = "" OR IsNull(rs("m_email"))) Then
e_email = e_email
Else
e_email = e_email & rs("m_first_name") & " " & rs("m_last_name") & "(" & rs("m_email") & "); "
y = y + 1
End If
rs.movenext
loop
...
<a href="mailto:?bcc=<%= e_email %>">E-MAIL ALL</a> |
I have also tried changing the format of the link by adding test@test.com before the ?bcc= but get the same results on both browsers. Like I said in the beginning I assume that the link is just too big for the browser; does anyone have any ideas besides making a mail form in the page? I would prefer to stick with a mailto link so that we can keep internal Outlook features.

We have a customer who uses utf-8 encoded websites and wants mailto-link on some websites with integrated subject/content.
Website is written in ASP (.NET is not available at customer site).
So according to RFC (as far as I could interpret it), we created a mailto-link like this: ....

I have a database that I am storing image URLs in. On the website, when you go to a project my work has done, if there is more than one image, it displays a next (and previous link) link where necessary. However, if I have 10 or more images, it does not display at all.
I think I've realized this is not the best way to do this, but this is how the database is set up: name, description, image01, image02, ... , image11. Each one is its own column.
Thanks to photoshop_god I have a code that does the next and previous links. But it is not displaying any images but the first one if there are 10 or more. Here is my code:

I have a web page that lists our group's service activites we are doing thorughout the year. Curently we have abook that we write down what events we were present to but I would like to make it available online to eliminate having to type down all the information in an excel sheet or access database.
I would like to have the page somehow link to an acess database or excel sheet so that anyone can make changes to the tables and querys (by adding to their name what events they attended). Idealy whatever chenges they made would be saved.

I am new to asp pages and vbscripting and am having a problem trying to get a form in a html document to be submitted back to a asp page, then into a microsoft access database.But not sure what I am doing incorrectly. Every time I fix one error I seem to get another error.
This is the latest error, and I believe the problem exsists in the ASP page? Something to do with the connection, that it is not seeing the Nano.mdb database. It is set up correcly under the System DSN in the ODBC data source. Any ideas?
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers- Error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/WPF Project/NanoGroup.asp, line 39
Also would the connection string be in the include file or in the ASP file. If it is in the asp file, then do I need to attach the include file? Code:

What I am wanting to do is list the last 10 submissions to a knowledge base and create a link to each one with the question text serving as the visual representation of the link.
I have searched the forums for info on how to do this in ASP and have come up empty. I will detail what I have so far.
I have a database table called kbase and want to have html table with links to the last 10 things entered. I just can't figure out how to get a dynamic link to point back to the database entry.
I may be missing something very simple here but as this is work related my time frame for learning is small at best. Code:

Is it possible to call fields from a MySQL Database and an Access Database on the same asp web page? If so, can someone please point me in the direction of a good guide/article/post on how to do this.

I would like to know how to go about sending a query to a database when a certain image/link is clicked by the user.
By this I mean e.g. table in a database called cd, primary key in table id. Each image/link has its own id number which refers to its record in the table.
So when the user clicks an image or link i would like it to preform a SELECT query using the id number.
How would i go about giving a link/image its own id number? I guess this is simple as i have seen it on many sites and have seen the query string at the bottom of the browser in status bar when you hover over image/link.

I have an asp page that returns a table from my database. Only about 6 columns from the table are shown on this page. I have the ID column set up as a dynamic link to a 'details' page, so a user can view the rest of the record data.
My database has been growing rapidly, and now when the page is run i get the error "page cannot be displayed".
I believe this is due to how large my database table is because if i delete records the page works fine, as it did when the system was first running. Right now there are 4600 rows in the database and will be growing.
How do I fix this problem, I cannot get rid of any records.
Oh yea, and if i delete the line of code that contains the link, the page works fine and shows the entire table.
Here is the code for the link:
<A HREF="details.asp?<%= "JOB_NO=" & rsResults.Fields.Item("JOB_NO").Value %>"><%=(rsResults.Fields.Item("JOB_NO").Value)%></A>

while (!MyQuery.EOF){
Response.Write("<tr><td colspan='2' class='results'>" + MyQuery('Title') + "</td>");
Response.Write("<td align='right' class='results'>£ " + MyQuery('Price') + "</td></tr>");
MyQuery.MoveNext();
}
I have that returning a record set to display ! I then need to make it so the "Title" is a link to a page with all the information shown for that book! How would i go about doing this ?

I am building a website where users can place advertisements with images. I have decided to place the images in an Access database to ensure the right images are matched the correct advertisements. My problem is that I can retrieve all of the data from the table which holds the photos (eg, filename, file size, content type) except for the actual photo itself. When I try to download the photo or press the hyperlink to display the photo all I get is the square with the red cross. I do not get any error messages.
Does anyone know why this is happening. My code is below:

I am trying to display images on a results page which have been saved in a Access database as BLOBS. I also trying to resize the images at the same time so that each record on the results page has the same dimensions. I have 2 include files on the webpage to resize the images, a processing ASP page to download the images and the syntax to make it all work.
My problem is that I am new at ASP programming and having the problem of putting all of the pieces together. I keep on getting an error message on 1 particular line and have no idea on how to fix it after many hours of trying different ideas. Code:

I can display information to a webpage from a database and handle the connections etc. My next task is a bit more complicated for myelf. Id like to have a page the pulls information from a record set and displays like this.
down one side
the container numbers
along the top
the products in the containers
the information in the middle would be the amount of product that came on that container.
Im just wondering how the best way to setup my database would be, and the best way to setup the asp webpage. (oh) nearly forgot, it has to repeat the information till all the records are finished but i guess that gos without saying.

This code has worked in the past on this same page, and for some reason it doesn't want to calculate the numbers anymore. Anyone see anything that is out of whack?
Basically I am taking the input numbers for each field and adding them up on one column, then taking the totals of all of those columns and adding it up to display as an overall total. Code:
