i'm building an ecommerce website and I want to create a unique orderID for each new order. My problem is that I don't want to have a random number but a number where each orderid is one higher then the last order like for example 4850323, 4850324, 4850325....
I tried to do this by using an application variable where 1 is added after every order but
this doesn't garantee a unique number because if IIS is reset it also resets the application variable.
I need help with some asp code that would allow me to grab the last record id and add one to it for the new record being inserted.
I am new to asp and have been banging my head up against the wall trying to get this to work. I am currently using Visual FoxPro 6 for my database.
The SQL statement I am trying to use is:
strSQL = "SELECT Max(contact_id) FROM CustomerContact;"
I've a databse of product in which I've unique ProductCode plus a ID that increments by 1 (AutoNumber). both the code and ID are unique and there will be no duplicate but is it worth having both in the databse?
I mean, can I not just use the productCode and forget about the ID? does this makes any difference? as far as I can see I'll have no problem in using the ProductCode. how you'd do it.
Whats the best way to create a Unique ID and insert it into a Access DataBase? the field that holds this is a text field, and is called company ID.
Its a text field because it seems to cause less hassle
I have a list from a database which I have made into a dropdown box, with each option as one line from the list.
At the moment I have several repeat values which I do not want.
I can set up a series of nested if statements and loops to remove the duplicate values but I would expect there to be a function which does this much more easily.My question is:
Is there an easy way of only displaying unique values from a database using ASP and SQL.
This is about a simple form validation in asp using javascript.there is one field called invoice_number which requires an unique invoice number as input. Whenever user inputs duplicate values message should pop up as warning on submit of the form. A sql fetches all the invoice nos. from database into an array using getrows.how do i use the result of getrows in javascript to perform client side validation

As you can see, there is a wide assortment of characters in an account number. The problem is that when I try to import it into the online system it breaks ASP because of these characters. I've tried adding slashes before special characters, but then trying to remove them is impossible because the same slashes could be used in the actual account number.

We've created a video application that allows "voting" for videos, to determine prize winners. We want to restrict each computer to one vote per day. What is the best way to do this without requiring the user to log in? A login app is not in the client's budget, nor is it doable from a time standpoint. Is detecting IP address in ASP reliable for the average user? Cookies seem easiest, but they also are easy to wipe out.

I was thinking about an easy to determine if cookies are set or not in ASP. I began
thinking about how the Session ID is dependent upon a cookie - right?
Well, I disabled cookies in Firefox and then loaded a webpage that displayed
Session.SessionID. Viola, I got one! And then, I reloaded the page. And then, I noticed
that the SessionID incremented by one!
This still isn't yet a one-page method of detecting if cookies are enabled or not (like
BrowserHawk does), but are there any possibilities here?
I am using a GUID in asp e.g

For a simple search of a help desk application I've written, I'm querying text fields in two tables. One table is full of help desk calls (ids, where they're from, simple description, etc). The other table is full of messages that are related to a call (updates, reasons for closing, etc.) and has the call id as a foreign key.
I've got some sql queries setup to get a list of all call ids that match a search term. Is there a built in way to sort the results to make sure they're unique? I know I could do it manually in a few lines of code but am always looking for the easiest way.
