I am required to prevent duplicate posts........how can i do this?? my database is MS Access and am using ASP.
Have been scratching my head fo quite some time now........cant figure out the logic.
I understand i cant limit it from the database....if possible i'd like to know how to handle the error that it would give with a page with message
or how can i compare the entry from the database before i post it
I have a database with about two thousand records, and I would like to only display about 50 per page. How would I go about doing this?
I have a hunch it has something to do with the <% Do While not objRS.EOF %> code?
How does one limit the amount of characters being entered into a <textarea>. I know we I can maxlength="50" an <input>, but what about a textarea?
View Replies View RelatedHow to write asp code to remove duplicates in an array.
For Eg: A()=(1,5,10,15,10,20,5)
After removal of duplicates it should be
A()=(1,5,10,15,20).
I have a string value which has the bellow content.
Dim aString as string
aString = "1,2,4,2,2"
where aString is a parameter set dynamically based on the user loggin into the system. Now All I want to do is to eliminate the duplicates. ( In this case I need to keep only one "2" and remove the remaining "2" , so my final string should be "1,2,4" ).
How could I do that. I was thinking of an array, but the issue is, If the "aString" is empty I believe array will return a error. So any other way of doing ?. Or simple asp functions which will eliminate this.
A member logs on and enters a record, if one already exists for that date, then they get a message saying so. If not the record is added and some text is displayed. But it still allows me to enter records even if one already exists! is it because I am storing my dates as strings? Code:

arrColour = split("blue,blue,green,red,purple,blue,green,yellow",",")
What I need to be able to do is to remove all items of the value "blue" from the array. I can just run a dictionary function to delete all duplicate values, because some of them need to be retained. I just need to delete all of them of a particular value. how this can be done?
I have declared a multidimensional array as follows. dim parray(100,5). Now this array contains some duplicate values. So how to remove duplicate values in this multidimensional array.

View Replies View RelatedI have two very simple Access tables:
tblNewsletter

How do I go about doing this?
I'm using getrows to speed up data access time, i wonder though if there is a better way. Each recordset returns up to or more than 500 records, this is still quite an overhead for the server when there are lots of people on the site.
Rather than reading all 500 records into the array and then paging the results is it possible to create the recordset with just 25 entries?
ie if you are on page 1 then only the first 25 records are retrieved from the database, page 2 - records 25 - 49 are retrieved etc
or will this slow things down?
I have a permission tracking app that I am working on, and I have made the insert page for it. I am having issues on how to prevent duplicates from getting entered.
Currently the interface for the app has a mixture of select boxes, list boxes and checkboxes. The form submits the page to processAIMR.asp and then does the inserting. I am using a loop to insert a new record for each checkbox checked or listbox entry selected. Code:
I have an array which is made up of a selection of place names, such as "London, London, Lisbon, Paris, London, Madrid, London, Madrid", what I need to do is loop through the array and get it to find out which item is duplicated the most times, and then have this item equal to a variable, such as TopPlace, which in this case would be TopPlace = London, I have no idea how to achieves this, could someone offer me any help on doing this?

I have 40 different users. Each user manages a subset of the total database. Currently I have a pull-down menu to let the user select their subset and then manage the data within it. I'd like to use their login info to pre-select the subset so that they have access only to their assigned areas. How do I "send" the subset name from one asp page to another? the db is "2004" the table is "Students" .
View Replies View RelatedI am looking for a simple way to limit the amount of letters/Characters returned so that it does not throw off my pages styling. Basically I have the following: Code:
<%
Dim SomeVariable
response.write(SomeVariable)

View Replies View RelatedI am pulling some records out of a database which have a Description field containing several words, and storing this information in an array using GetRows().
Then using a for-next loop I am going through these records and using the Split() function to get the first word of the Description and then adding it as an option to a dropdown list.
The problem is I get lots of duplicates in the drop down because lots of the descriptions have the same first word. Using DISTINCT in the SQL statement won't help much because at that stage the descriptions arent the same. Code:
I have built and app where people can add records to a database the problem is while the next page is loading some people are impatient and click refresh adding another same record with slightly different time stamp.

I'm using the script below to limit a visitor at my site to only be able to post a form 5 times. I believe the reason I've received more e-mails is because the visitor closes their browser then opens a new one and they can post two times each time they do this.
<%
count = Request("count")
if count = "" Then
count = 0
Else
count = count + 1
End If
%>
<%
If count < 5 Then
%>
<a name="step5"></a><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<%
Else
%>
This form has been submitted 5 times. Please contact me for more information.
Can somebody show me how I can do this so it will only work twice within a 24 hour period even if the visitor closes their browser and opens a new one? I would think cookies be the answer to this but what happens if the visitor has cookies turned off? If this would be a good solution can somebody please help me out? I'm not familiar with cookies.

View Replies View RelatedI'm developing a page in which different users have different rights within the site. I don't even know where to start with this one because searching for anything to do with "website", "user", "rights", "permissions" or anything along those lines gives me nothing but server file permissions.
What I'm trying to do is allow anybody with a username and password to sign in, then based on their security permissions they will be able to use certain functions of the website. I want all this to be modular though...
