I'm a (moderate) newbie to and I'm building an ASP/VB db-driven site where the user selects a brand from a menu, this determines the contents for another menu with models. Selecting a model displays details about that model. Nothing too original here Its a small low traffic site with no ecommerce elements - just window shopping.
My questions is : I need to know on all pages what the current brand and model are (and modify these when the user changes them).
From what I understand there are 3 (?) methods: server vars, session vars or hidden fields. Which should I use for this purpose and can anyone point me to some good related examples/tutorials? (I've read the stuff on this site of course).
I have a logon field. When data is entered, the user is taken to a protected page. The problem/question is: Whe you click the back button and return to the logon page,the user data is still in the field. I want it cleared when the user returns to the logon page.How should I approach this problem. Java?
Im using classic ASP (3.0) and I have a web farm with 2 webservers (webserver A and webserver B, both windows server 2003). I do not want to store any client specific information on the webserver (therefore do not intend to use the session object- as you cannot gaurantee which server the user will go to). I want to store a small value (e.g. a Y/N value or an Id) on the client machine for the duration of their browsing session, hence I want to use a non persistent cookie (in client memory) not a persistent cookie that will be written to disk.
Q. Therefore if I create a non persistent cookie (i.e. it resides in the client browsers memory) and set this when the user was on webserver A, can I read the value server side on subsequent requests even if the user is redirected back to webserver B? As the webservers are part of the same domain name Im assuming I can..?
Q. Using non persistent cookies (in client in memory) im assuming the session Id that gets created has no use, as I am using client side storage, hence it is worth disabling this on the webserver for performance reasons?
Q. Is there anyway using non persistent cookies that a user can see the values of this cookie client side, are their any downloadable tools for example they can run?
Im aware of the issues with size of using cookies and users can disable them, my question is more related to using them in a web farm. Im also not intended in the short term to upgrade to asp.net as Im aware there are alternatives for state storage in this. Hope someone can clarify these points for me. Note: I see many articles talking about cookies but none relating to web farms, those that do talk solely about the session object (Server side), none really go further to talk about (non persistent / persistent cookie usage with web farms client side.

In my event log on my IIS 6.0 Windows 2003 Server I get the following Active Server Pages Error

I want to call a recordset so you can edit the details and then obviously pass the parameters onwards into the db. However, the user guide just says this:
To process other fields in the form, use the Form collection of the upload object the same way you would use the Form collection of the Request object. For example, if your form had a text element named UserName, your processing code would include: Code:
I have a main data entry form which has a link to a detailed data entry form. The value of the link in the main form is the sum total of all the line items in the detailed form. The detailed form has fields to capture the individual line items like contracted service expense, travel expense etc. I am capturing the total of individual line items using session variables so that when the values of the main form is saved these total of line item values get saved. However, if one gets to the mainform via login and tries to resave the values (which is already saved), the above session variables (from the detailed form that contains the sum of line items) get null values. However, just navigating to the detailed form through the link and coming back to the main form sets the value in the session variables.My question is how to get the session variable values without having to go to the detailed form and come back to the main
if it is possable in ASP i could store a value in one ASP page and look at it on anouther ASP page. for example:

Using a query statement, I am trying to add values into the textbox of an ASP page to enable users to edit it. But it only displays the first word of the record. The rest of it gets chopped off. Code:
<P>Company Name:<INPUT NAME ="CompanyName" style="WIDTH: 371px; HEIGHT: 22px" size=47 Value=<%=objRec.Fields("company_name")%>></P>
The value in the textbox only shows R1 when the value in the SQL database is R1 International Pte Ltd. The datatype in SQL is char if it makes any diff.

How is it possible to execute an exe from asp and get a returned string (no http headers in exe) ?
To run exe I use : <% cmdExe = sPath & "cgi-bin equest.exe" Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") sResult = WshShell.Run(cmdExe, 1, True) Set WshShell = Nothing
Response.write sResult %>
sResult always content "0" and not the string returned by exe file (something like "!!-1!blabla!blablablabla!")
- How is it possible to get the exe returned value ? - Is there a solution with asp.net ?
I'm trying to determine if I can use transactions in my ASP applciation against one of our Oracle 9i databases. My WROX manual says I can do this if the Transaction DDL property of my connection object is equal to 8.

I've created a web form with multiple textfields for acquiring somes date of birth (i.e. textbox for DD, textbox for MM, textbox for YYYY), now what I'm trying to do is grab the values from these objects and combine into 1 session variable, which later on is inserted into an ACCESS database.How do I append these values together to be one value in a session variable (i.e 23122004). I have a input mask inside the ACCESS database, so it needs to go in this format. I assume once I have captured these 3 fields, I need to convert them to integer, and then merge?
