View Replies View RelatedI'm working on an element of my site in which users can choose an expiry date for features they create. However, i also want them to have the option to set the feature to be active indefenitely. Currently I am making them choose to add a date/time field to the record, or leave the value of the field as Null.
The problem I have here is that if they choose the keep the feature active indefenitely, I need to keep the date/time field a NULL. However, if they change thier minds and give it an expiry date, and then want to change it back, I have a problem as the field has been populated. If I try to enter a "" value into the date/time field, but when the user goes back to edit they get a 01/01/1900 date instead of N/A.
Trying to make it have a far future date also doesn't work, as when they go back to change they get the year as 01/01/3000 or some such. Basically, what I want to do is add a NULL value again to the date/time field. Can this be done?

I'm trying to take a date from a form and insert it into an Access 2000 database with ASP
Here's the code:

frmDate = Request.Form("Date")
sqlStatement = "INSERT INTO testDates(ClubId,Date) VALUES(" & frmClubId & ", #" & frmDate & "#)"
Set rs = conn.Execute(sqlStatement)
I've already Response.Write the sql, so I know that frmClubId is and integer and frmDate is mm/dd/yyyy.
I have an interesting situation that needs to be addressed ASAP.
I am running a standard SQL Query in ASP to retrieve some rows/columns from a table that's on a SQL Server 2000 database. I put the results of that query into a RecordSet, and then use the GetRows function to push the results that are in the recordset into an array variable. In the query that I am running, 39 columns and 2 rows are returned.
The GetRows function appears to be working - the array variable is being created with the proper dimensions. However, the values of the different "cells" of the array are not showing up correctly. The first and the last column values for each row are correct, yet everything else in between is blank, empty, NULL, or whatever.
In other words: ArrayVariable(0,0) shows up correctly, ArrayVariable(38,0) shows up correctly, but everything in between is null.
I did a test on the RecordSet and discovered that it was the culprit - it wasn't being filled in properly. This is strange, though, because the select query that I run in the ASP code to create the recordset returns perfect results when I run it on the SQL Server 2K database.
I am developing a simple booking system where I had a booking date. The problem is I want to make sure that the user must book 3 days in advanced for certain room.
I have tried to use DateDiff but it seems doesn't work. Actually i just 1 to make sure that the user must book 3 days in advanced from the current date. I am wondering whether there is anything goes wrong in my datediff function. Code:
I have created a table. How do I limit the result of that table to only show the entries that have the "address" filled in. In Access here is the sql coding to acheive the results.
SELECT Dropoffs.City, Dropoffs.StateInitials, Dropoffs.AcceptedItems, Dropoffs.MoreInfo, zipcodes.Address
FROM zipcodes, Dropoffs
WHERE (((zipcodes.Address) Is Not Null));
How do I set this up in my VBSCRIPT page?
Here is my working page so that you can see what I am trying to acheive. When the page comes up you can type 45255 for the zipcode.
I try to select the not null value from the database in column comment.
select s.ques_no, s.task_no, s.goal_no, g.comment from step_tab s, gen_tab g where s.id = g.id and g.comment is not null
But it still return all the null value.
Can anyone please tell me why?
Besides that, why i can't increase the number that i selected from the database.
id_no = rs("id_no")
id_no = cint(id_no") + 1
Why the id_no never increase even i had "+1"?
I might be doing this wrong but I am modifying the body tag depending on what a recordset tells me.
It works fine if the value exist, but if it is returned null then I can't get it to work ...
I had set up the following 'trouble-shooting' code to determine how a certain value was being 'evaluated' for lack of a better term. The field "status" in this example has no value in it.
<%
status = RS("status")
If isnull(status) Then
response.write("status is null")
end if
if status = "" Then
response.write("status has no value")
end if
%>
The database field 'status' has no value in it. If I run the above trouble-shooting code, the first statement "status is null" will print out. If I remove the first if statement and use the second if statement 'if status = "" ...', the statement will NOT print indicating that the value <> "".
Questions: What is the difference between something not having a value and NULL?
Most importantly, what is the PROPER way to check for a field not having a value in it? In the past I have always checked for a 'no value' using double quotes.
I'm using the following code to, firstly erase any old logins the user has. Then to check whether the page has been idle for longer than 30 minutes or not. If it has been idle for longer than 30 mins then the user will be required to input their password again. However it's not working! Code:

I have a data entry form. If the user submits the form without entering any data, the record should be inserted with null entries for the respective fields.
But when i execute the INSERT SQL query with these null values, it gives me an error.
This is vat I am doing:
<%
.....
address = request.form("address")
if request.form("Age")= "" then
ageValue=""
.....
.....
%>
I use these values in SQL query
This is the SQL statement when the above is executed
" INSERT INTO tblStatistics (Age,address) VALUES (, aaa)"
Because of no value for age, the query is not gettin executed.
I dont want a 0, I want a nul entry (<null>).
Could someone throw some light on how to set the age field to null?
Can someone help with an error? It's a StoreFront store. right after the credit card screen is gives me the error. I get the following:

I have 2 questions about SQL server. First, what should i do about allowing NULL values when designing the database? What difference does it make? And if I disallow NULL values, should i enter default values?
Second, when adding new records to database with recordset.addnew, what SELECT statment, cursor, and lock type should i use?
I've always used "SELECT * FROM Table" and adOpenStatic, and adLockOptimistic. This SELECT statement looks very inefficient to me, but I don't know what else to use.
I am updating a table depending on the user input that could be left blank for the numeric as well as the string field. I am getting an error if I do the following:

How can I use the variable to change the value to null.
I have set up a database, myDB, in MS Access. one of my Table, myTable, has columns Col1, Col2, ..., Col10. Depending on some scenarios, I insert some values in some (but not all) of the columns. Now I want to delete those records that their col3 is null or nothing is set.
I used col3= '' and col3=NULL in the below statement
