The scenario is that the user enters a description of a special offer into a text box and then can add that record to a database field using the insert method of asp. However, an error occurs if the description has any apostrophes in. For example,
special offer 1: andy's prize plums
could cause an error because the insert looks something like this
"insert into offersTable(offerDescription) values (' " & request.form("description") & "'"
is there some way to escape all naughty characters so they don't cause a problem. Any suggestions very welcome.

I have stolen code from another thread in this forum that I am attempting to modify. The original code uses a Microsoft Access database file but I can't create one cos I don't have Microsoft Access. Instead I am using Microsoft Works to create a dBASE IV .dbf file.
This is the code i have attempted to use but it doesnt work. Code:
I am creating ASP pages which call for information from a database, however when I have completed the page in FP, exit, and go to Access to modify a Query, I am told the Database is still in use and that only "Shared access " is available.This does not happen if I reboot the computer.The page was generated by Access "HTML Wizard.I am using FP98 and W98.
How can you insert a quote ' or " into a database from a forum without getting an sql error due to the quotes closing, or opening a new field in the sql string.
I have a Parks Database where anyone can see a complete list of parks we have. What I would like is for people to be able to sort this list by certain parameters, one of them being a "District" parameter, but could conceivably be parameters such as Sort By "Playground" to see a list of Parks with Playgrounds.
Is there a way for me to do this via some sort of hyperlink to the "District", that if it's clicked on, does a new form (Maybe a form named sortViaDistrict) within the same page? I'm not too sure how to do something like this. Code:
I've got a little user poll system and I'm trying to create an 'edit' form. The form relates to 2 database tables, one holds the poll details (title, start date, end date, etc) and the other holds the answers/options (answer_id, answer, etc). I've successfully setup the form so it updates the poll details but I can't work out how to update the answers? Code:
my script is working properly but i want to create another sheet of the Excel file because i will export multiple tables from the dtabase to an Excel file with multiple sheets. it only creates one sheet?
I have a dbase containing login details for 21,000 members. I also have a forum that I am about to implement.
When the user gets to the main site, he has to login (this is done by checking his credentials against DB1) When he is logged in, all his details are stored in session variables. Clicking on the forum link will take him to the forum where he has to log-in or register. Currently, the forum checks cookies to see if there is a valid name and password and then checks these against it's own DB (herein called DB2) or requires the user to login/register
I plan to modify the forum so that the login is bypassed and the forum accepts the current session name and password as the login. (This is so that all names on the site main site, chat, forum etc are uniform, i.e Dave47 in a chat room, is Dave47 in the forum, is Dave47 in the members area etc)
so...what I need to do (if you're still with me) is.
When a new user registers on the main site, his details are put into DB1 *and* DB2. , can I have two data sources open at once?
The reason I need two DBs is that the information in DB1 is a lot less than is needed by the forum in DB2.
Also how can I copy selected fields from DB1 (name, password for existing users) into DB2? like I said..there's 21,000 and to do it manually would take forever.
I am currently working on a small asp application. Now I would like to store the complete database connection in the application object. Note I want to store the connection NOT the connectionstring. For that purpose I wrote a small asp include which connects to the dbase and stores the connection object to the application object. However when I use this include in my pages then it doesnt work. What I am doing wrong? Here is the code:
I've been tasked with integrating an older management system based on DBF files with my snappy new ASP application to provide users of the ASP application with real-time data from the management system.
I figure with DBF files, I should use either the DBase drivers or the FoxPro drivers to connect to the database. Code:
I have imported a list of links to MSSQL database with enterprise manager. I use ASP to show the list of links and it's description. Originally I had 8600 links in the database and I have imported 700 new one. I have checked in table and all the links exist and the table is indexed on field linkID. My asp script has worked before and there is no problem with it. I can still show all the links including the new links and it's descriptions but if I click on an old link, it goes to that site while with new imports, it just opens another example of my site (404 page set to open my index page). The link is correct since if I copy it from screen and paste in browser, it opens the page correctly.I have removed the index from table and made it again but no difference. There is also an edit function in my script, if I click on it, I will get a message that filed linkID does not exits but it clearly exists in the table and the rest of script is using it.
If I creat a ASP page, what do I need or how do I connect to a MSSQL database? Is it possible to connect to MySQL with an ASP page, or is it better to stick with MSSQL when creating an ASP page?
Looking for suggestions on any stable asp/MS SQL server content management systems in the market place. Any suggestions, or even places where I can look? I have quickly seen Rainbow and would like any comments from users of this CMS.
I am currently learning ASP but have a small PHP background, With PHP I used PHPMYADMIN to work with MYSQL Is there a web based Alternative for ASP and MSSQL that provides similair functionality?
I have a query to one table but one of the values in the table is referencing a record from another table... here is the sql Code:
strSql = "SELECT streetdate, barcode, itemname, descrip, vendor, sku, catlog, config, retail_cost, cost FROM blah WHERE (STREETDATE >='"& GSTARTDATE &"') AND (STREETDATE <='"& GENDDATE &"') ORDER BY STREETDATE, CATLOG DESC"
now I have 2 things going on here... 1. vendor is just a number... there is a tblvendor that matches the number with a name (that i need.. i coudl nest another db query but figured that would be more resource intensive as this returns 1000s of records) 2. itemname is also a number that references another tblItem the sam way, I woul dlike to sort alphabetical off this somehow (is it even possable)
Can't seem to find anything relating so forgive me if i've missed it. I'm after a way to open either a csv or xml file, then cycle through each line to see if it's in mssql, if it is update it... otherwise add it and then if it's in mssql and not the csv, remove it.Is it possable? Still learning and haven't dug into opening files, let alone this so any help would be grateful... oh and the fields are exactly the same in both
In our office we use RMS (Residential Management System) and they use an MSSQL database to store all the data. we can access this database using access and have made several...several queries to pull out info, save it to another access database, then upload it to the web and pull data from it.
the server that houses the MSSQL database is online and i was wondering if it is possible to connect to it and pull out information. we wouldnt want to change anything, just view.
I'm just deciding whether to use Access or MS-SQL for a web-application
I'm predicting that my application will grow large enough to warrant use of MS-SQL, but I'm wondering how extensive the changes to my code that would make
...Specificially in ASP.Net, if I use ADO.Net, would I just need to modify my connection string or would it involve more extensive modifications?
I am new to programming and I managed to store images in MSSQL. The problem I have is that when I retrieve the image from the database and display it in my browser it opens a new window. I would like to use the image control, but it requires a url. Is there anyway of viewing that image in the image control or keeping it in the same page where my information is but displaying it where and when I want it

I am planning to convert an ASP/MS SQL based site into ASP/MySQL to save on monthly recurring fees. MSSQL costs additional $40 a month while MySQL is free. Are there any major technical issues?
If you have a large traffic site, say over 30 current users accessing the database at once, can Access handle this. I know MSSQL can. Is there any other databases that can be used with asp other than Access and MSSQL and what would there benifits be?
I'm writing a script to show a bithday list. I select the data from a MSSQL db. I want to only show the next seven days's birthdays in the result.
