Getting Data Into Recordset
I'm trying to create an interface for manipulating historical stock prices obtained through finance.yahoo.com. I need to make a recordset contain the data of a CSV file that Yahoo returns, but the catch is that I want to pass the data along by pointing the recordset to the URL of the CSV files on the Yahoo server.
Yahoo creates its CSV files dynamically through the querystring of its URL (see below), and I would use inputs to my interface to manipulate the URL for specific ticker symbols, dates, etc.
I guess the simplest example is that a user could input a ticker to my interface, the recordset would somehow "call" the URL for the correct data, and then that data would be in the recordset, where I could manipulate it, before returning the information back to the user.
I'm just stumped on how to get the CSV data into the recordset on the fly, just by calling the URL.
The following link is an example of what Yahoo does. Manipulating the querystring changes the ticker, date range, and level of detail. You can also change the table.csv to table.txt and return the actual data in one big text file. Code:

I’m in the middle of designing a simple website poll... nothing to fancy a simply question and results type thing... however I’ve hit a problem in that I cannot figure out how to add one to the running total when a vote is cast. For example:
Do you like this website:
A: Yes Lots – radio button if selected adds one to yeslots column
B: It’s ok - radio button if selected adds one to Itsok column
C: It could be improved - radio button if selected adds one to Itcouldbeimproved column
And of course we’re using an Access database for this one.

I have a page where the user logins in and is taken to another page. On this page i want them to insert data into another table within my database.
At the moment however it just enters data into the database once. I'm assuming it�s because I don't have a recordset set up. How do get the ID of the user so that it will insert the new data into the relevant recordset.

I have a page that pulls 'member' registration information from a table similar to a bulk delete with checkboxes. This works fine, it pulls all of the member info. What I want to do is have the selected records added to a new table known as courses.
Sort of a bulk registration system where I have a list of members, put in the start date, end date, course name and course number once and it populates for all of the members in the new table adding the member info with the course info. Code:

I have a simple application setup where people can submit a request for a sample of our product to be mailed to them. It's a very simple form with name and address information. I have a page setup where our warehouse guys can pull up current requests and then the plan is to use USPS.com to print shipping lables.
While it's already a big time saver, they're still having to either copy/paste or re-type the information into USPS.com's forms. Knowing the names of the form fields on their site, is there a way I can populate their forms with the data in my recordset from my details page?
For instance, they pull up the current requests and they click into the details page for one of them which lists the person's name and address. If I have the USPS.com page open in another window and on the screen which contains the form fields is there a way to call that page and populate those fields accordingly?

I have a form.htm page where the user enters an ID to retrieve addresses. Then PAGE1.ASP displays the addresses. From here the user selects an address and submits. Then PAGE3.ASP brings back further information. My question is how do I use one field from the address information on PAGE2.ASP to display on PAGE3.ASP? I know how to do it with textboxs and such but cant get RS data to hope page to page. I get no errors or anthing.
On PAGE2.ASP I have :
<input type="hidden" name="CLIENTHIDDEN" value="<%=RS1("CICL_LNG_NM") %>"></td>
On PAGE3.ASP I have:
clientname = request.form("CLIENTHIDDEN")
and to display:
<td class=rt width="110" height="1">Business Name:</td><td width="849" class=rt height="1"><% =clientname%></td>

I have created a forum, in which I have 3 tables:
1: Table_Forum
2: Threads
3: Replies
I have it at the moment that on the main default.asp there is a recordset that will
display all records within that table, these are a list of forums that will be available.
I have a table that will show the forum name, and the description. This table is then looped using Do while not, now what i need to do is show how many records in the Treads table are related to each forum using asp. Code:

I'm using DW MX 2004 to build an asp based eStore. I have a checkout page created with both the billing and shipping information in the same form. I'd like to add some code and a button to activate it to copy the code to the shipping info (but it can't submit form). Also the State choice is a drop down list based on a recordset. There are other behaviors attached.

I read it might be forbiden characters in the data base field names or spaces...

This seems a very complicated task, so I welcome any
input. My boss wants a data grid or matrix of the top 6
orders with ordered items, and products, for a particular
customer and he wants to see it like this:
products down the left side
orders across the top
number of items under the respective order number column
across from the corresponding product.
I hope that makes sense.
I have three tables. Products, Orders, Orderitems. I
don't even know where to start. Many thanks in advance
for any input offered.

I basically created 5 different recordset with names of
ObjRS2 ---> ObjRS6
The code is pretty easy to understand, but I'm missing something
<%
for (i=2;i<=6;i++)
{
%>
all of my HTML code calling the Recordsets....example
<tr>
<td>
<%= objRSi("something")%> <----- the "i" is where i want the counter obviously
</td>
</tr>
}
how would one make this work?

I have a database set up for a survey where in the Answers table I have columns QuestionID, SurveyID, and Answer. Because my survey has about 300 possible questions it's impossible to make a column for each answer. So if I need to select the answers from a specific survey for a specific question and I have about 50 entered in the database my loop will have go keep going for about 15000 times. What I'm trying to find out is if there is a way to create a record set by selecting a survey by it's ID and then when I only have about 300 rows in the record set select answer from the record set using the questionID.
This is to update the answers for the survey. Also, another possibility would be update the recordset and then update the database. Is it possible to do that? Any directions to some code?

I need to format a recordset into a particular format i.e.
Dim myDataStore
MyDataStore = ...
so that myDataStore =
[ 'record1field1',
'record1field2','record1field3','record1field4','record1field5'], [
'record2field1',
'record2field2','record2field3','record2field4','record2field5'], etc
I can do this OK for 1 record and know I need so kind of loop but am not
sure how to go about for the whole recordset?

I have the following code:
Code:
Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet" )
RS.CursorLocation = 3
RS.Open ("SELECT * FROM " & the_table_name & " WHERE " & job_id_field & "=" & request.querystring("job") &""), cn, adOpenDynamic
Both have connections via the following string:
Code:
set cn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")
cn.Open ("DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath(database_map_path)) & ";"
Only difference is that the newer version has the connection string included in another file, and the "RS.OPEN ..." line on the recordset code gives an error: "Too few parameters". Expected 1.

When it pulls the user info from the db, it's fine, but when i come to display the info for editing, it doesn't populate the interests column.
Also, do you know how to change a form so that a certain field can send a blank string, or at least so that it doesn't require any input? Code:

I'm working on a website where a compiled object returns a recordset. When I access the recordset, the memo fields are truncated. Is there anyway to get the full data from the existing recordset or is that a problem with the object itself and how the data is being queried (from SQL Server)?

I have a recordset full of data from form input. I would like to insert this data into a table where the recordID = the recordID from a query string. Is this possible with recordsets? To specify where to add the record, as opposed to just inserting a brand new record?

I'm retrieving two rows from a recordset and i want to place a divider between the titles.
Title1 | Title2 (intended approach)
So far i've got it to work but it displays at the end of the second item.
Title1 | Title2 |
How can i stop the second occurrence.
I'm sure it's pretty simple but i can't figure it out.

Does anyone know of a good, simple and preferably free tool that is similar to MS Frontpage's Data Connection WYSIWYG tool?
Specifically, I have a bunch of recordsets that I need to convert into ASP pages and I really am not looking forward to coding the recordset fields manually. Dreamweaver and Frontpage are WAY to much overkill for what I want.

I need to create a recordset from a number of session variables. After I create this recordset I will be passing it to a stored procedure.
Could someone please tell me how to create the recordset? I'm not asking how to GET a recordset from a database. I need to know how to create one: create fieldnames and put data into each field.

I'm having a problem with one of the editors of a site I look after. He keeps on putting the Headline to uppercase. I'm familiar with to uppercase but how could you apply it to a record set so that only the first word becomes a capital and the rest is in lower case?

I have an ASP page that calls ASP routines that I created that execute
a database query and return the results to a recordset. I then iterate
through the recordset and display the data in a table. Before I iterate
through the recordset I instruct the browser that the content type is
Excel using the following line:
(Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel")
This works fine with Excel 2003 but with older versions (I tested Excel
97) the HTML included within the include files (on Page One) is
displayed in an Excel worksheet.
Page One - Begins with Include files (which contain my subroutines and
databse connection information). Then I have a Select statement to
determine which export users want. When I hit the case I need I then
call a Sub routine that exports the data to Excel. Code:
