what is the most efficient way of finding the following with asp.
1) disovering what day of the week was the first of the current month. (eg. this month 1 December fell on a Wednesday) From there I would like to get the same for the following month and the following month after that and so on.
2) a way of finding the last day (numerically) of the current month and the next month after that and so on. (eg. this month it's 31, next month its 31 then it's 28 and so on.)
I know I can use the weekday function in order to get the current day displayed to me, but is it possible to pass an inputed date in the format of 12/31/2005 or whatever to the weekday function so that it can evaluate it and say what day it will be on that date.
The reason for this is that I want to find a way of taking a range of dates from my database, basically a start date and an end date, and to identify all weekends that fall inside the range, so that they can be excluded from a count.
I'm trying to figure out how I can evaluate if a given time/date has passed. I'm pulling a time/date field from my database in the format "9/1/2007 3:18:04 PM", and want to compare it against <%=NOW%> then set a variable if the time/date I pull has already passed.
Is there a way to use the datediff in the negative or something like that? I'm really not sure how I could accomplish this.
I'm trying to select certain records based on a "Display Until" date. I receive all records no matter what the date is. I should only receive records that are greater than today.Code:
<% Dim vardate vardate = date() Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") sqlstmt = "SELECT * FROM jobs WHERE Openings = yes and webonly = 1 and displayuntil > " & varDate & " ORDER BY JobNumber" myDSN = "DSN=test" rs.open sqlstmt, myDSN
What do y'all see for the future of ASP in light of MS decision to replace FrontPage with a new series of development tools? All of them mention ASP.NET, but no mention of the ASP I love. Code:
I have a site, constructed with dreamweaver, that contains a master-detail page set. I have make some changes to the code (although I 'm not a programmer, I am beginner), so that I can insert records that will
be displayed when the date of the record is equal to the current date(server's date).
The detail page is something like http://localhost/1.asp?id=495
My problem: I discovered that anyone that hits to the browser any other id number by hand(example
http://localhost/1.asp?id=496), can view the records I wanted to be displayed when the appropriate date come!
So, I have not any way to protect my records from these people?
What can I do, so that nobody can see the future's records above the current date?
The master page already has a 'where' statement, and displays only the records with date=< current date.
My problem is at the detail page.
Suppose someone hit in the browser, just because he wants to cheat me, write another id in address bar, replacing the one the browser currently displays.
Thenhe has discover a brand new page which should be online in the future.
That's my problem.
It would be nice if I could hide the real address from browser address bar.
Or if I could somehow change it in order not to reveal the real address and this could make it more difficult for someone to reveal future's pages.
I know the use of frames hides such information(exact address) but as far as I know this solution has many disadvantages.
I did a search for any posts on the topic of ASP and the future support model for it within IIS. I see a lot of speculation based on current use, etc., but let's not forget that Visual Basic 6.0 is a dead product - regardless of how many people are still using it. Let us also not forget that Microsoft changed some core syntax of C++ (actually C) that had been in place for 30+ years.
Anyway, can anyone point me to any official Microsoft documentation that outlines the lifecycle for ASP or a good roadmap for IIS? I tried http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/, but it is not there since ASP is not technically a product.
I have a noticeboard that the user inputs items into. One of those is the date of an event. Once that event has passed I want it to disappear from the page.
So I need to do a comparison with current date to the date in the "datestarted" field. My table is called "notices." Using Access and ASP VBscript.

I have a form with 2 fields: Beginning Month and Ending Month. I want to be able to allow the user to select a beginning month and ending month and when they hit submit, it will retreive all records in the table where the month field is equal to or inbetween the months the user selected.
When I try to select records which have a date greater than todays date it brings back the incorrect records. I think I'v tried everything to get it working and may have missed something. Basically here's what happens.
Todays date is 04/05/2005, but the sql will return records which have a date of 05/04/2005 or greater. Heres the sql:
Select * From trainingCalendar2 where startDate > #04/05/2005# Order By startDate;
And Returns:
2 Course Test 4 07/04/2005 Mandatory Training
10 SAP Training 29/04/2005 External Course
12 Create Course 2 17/05/2005 Internal/Upskilling
I have checked the regional settings and they are correct. When I open the database and look at the records they are of the correct format.
Even when I look at the records in the site that are the correct format. I think it's access but I thought that access was supposed to have the same regional settings as the computer.
Ive got a variable in my code which is used to calculate the age of an entry in the database. The runtime value for the variable is set to Now-14 which checks to see if the article is more than two weeks old. I can change the value to Now()-21 and it still works (flagging all items 3 weeks or newer, but if I increase this to 28, 30 or anything above,

i need to create a function of something that allows me to add the number 5 to the amount which the user adds for a holiday year. This only done once therefor if the users start date exceeds 5 year i need to create a function to add the number 5 to it. the code which i have at the moment ... basically selects the user from a View which i have in my sql server database. obviously it retrieves the users.. record.. depending on what the user inputs as a holiday number in the input box and then it is updated into the table in my database.
I need help with selecting records between certain dates from an Access 2000 db. The dates are held date type in the short date format so they look like so 16/03/2004. I've done the following SQL statement as a test to try and pull out everything from today until a specified date. It does nothing at the moment, the page just renders with no results and no errors.
Code: strSQL = "SELECT * FROM events WHERE StartDate <= 16/04/2004"
After moving a small web app to Win2k3 / IIS 6 the date is being displayed as DDMMYYYY, rather than MMDDYYYY. Can I change something in the regional settings to correct this? Or do I have to change the source?
Basically I have a date that a person completed an exam. A retake date is set off of this completion date (I grab the date and add a certain number of months - i.e. 24, so a completion date of 01/01/2007 would have a retake date of 01/01/2009.)
I'm generating a report for supervisors to be able to look over the employees test history to make sure that the employee is up-to-date on testing.
I want to be able to compare Retake to the current date. If the retake date is in the future (or on the same day - if someone were to look on 01/01/2009) then the employee has a "satisfied" next to them. But if the retake date is in the past, then there is an "incomplete" next to their name.
I am trying to put together a little code that will take the current date and add X number of weekdays to that date.
For instance, if it was a tuesday the 10th, the script would return Friday the 13th. If it was Friday the 13th then the result would be Wednesday the 18th. Basically I need to know where to start with offestting dates based on weekdays
Which format does the IsDate function in asp checks for? I'm taking a date from a form and inserting it into a sql server database which stores the date in mm/dd/yyyy format. Does asp use the same format or do I need to convert it? If so, how do I convert it?
I want to find the next event in my sql database. To do this, I have a query in a while loop. I set a new DateTime variable to the current date and run the query, it checks to see if it found a suitable event, if not, I want to increase the day by one and loop again.
I have a form that lets the web admin add products to the DB, the DB is microsoft access. I know in access you need to use # #'s when dealing with dates, i did and I get the error message: Syntax error in date in query expression '##'
