I searched the forum but I am still a little confused regarding the global.asa file. I created a global.asa file and it is in the root of the virdual directory. I then created a sub to initially connect to a datase such as: Code:

The following code runs absolutley fine on a server running ASP 3, but falls over when run on a server running ASP 2 (the error says:

If InStr(Session("level"),"some",vbtextcompare) > 0 Then ...
This gives me an error:

Type mismatch: '[string: "no"]'
What is wrong and what should I do?
I currently have my SQL Server connection string in an Application variable in the global.asa. Could that be a security risk? I have heard that with Cold Fusion, when there is a page error. the actual Connection String is written to the screen as part of the error page.
I'm quite sure that would not occur in ASP but just wanted to be sure, and get a few expert opinions.
I was looking at another post, and what the person did was:
Dim strConn
strConn = "string"
application("strConn") = strConn
Now, am I able to create a connection object in my global.asa like so, and then keep my existing syntax for all my hundreds of queries?
Dim strCon
strCon = string
Set Connect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Connect.Open strCon
?
I'm trying to SAVE bandwidth, so I want to create my connection in global.asa instead of each time my include file 'top.asp' is executed. I can also close it easily...
PS. I believe Application_OnStart() is the best place to put it, am I correct?
i read the code but i dont understand it
rs.open strSQL,conn,adOpenDymanic,3
whats the adOpenDymanic?and whats the number 3?why not another number?
As I get further and further into ASP/VBscript I realize I just don't undertstand how to properly use single/double quotes at the same time. This is really holding me back. If anyone can help me understand this better or know some good articles I would appreciate it. My current problem is adding a logo to my page from the database. What quotes are needed inside my <img> tag. Code:
<img src="/teams/logos/"'"<% response.Write rs("Logo")%>"'"> .
1) I have the following html code on the server:
<HTML>
....
.....
<BODY>
<A HREF = http://MyServer/MyDoc.doc> Click here to see the document</A>
When I click on the link How Internet Explorer understand that it's a Word
Document and It's necessary open it with Microsoft Word ? Is The extension
to give the necessary information to Internet Explorer ?
Where does IE look for the application to use to open the file on the server
? On the local registry ?
I have tried to rename Mydoc.doc in MyDoc.pdf and I have called
http://MyServer/MyDoc.pdf and the browser has opened Acrobat Reader but the
binary format is for Microsoft Word.
Does the Browser User an Http_Header sended automatically ? (for example
HTTP_FILE_NAME....IF IT EXISTS)
2)Now I have the following link:
http://MyServer/ReturnMyDoc.asp
It returns the binary data of MyDoc.doc file. Now I want to say to the
browser that the file is called MyDoc.doc (I don't want to use Content Type
= ms-application/msword) : is there a header to say this to Internet
Explorer ?
I have a some code:
Rs.Open "[TableName]", Conn, 1,3,2
RS.AddNew
RS.Fields("Account_Name").Value = request.Form("Account_Name")
my question is does conn, 1,3,2 only write to the database not making the data readable? if i change it to conn, 0,1 i get page can't be displayed. I'm using access DB, with conn 1,3,2 it inserts fine, but when i go to query it i get no records found, but i see the data in the database, anybody have any ideas?
<%
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.open application("dtat_motor_connectionstring")
set rs = new adodb.recordset
'Set RS = Conn.Execute(' "exec spcn_update_transactions &
customer_number, customer_name, customer_address, customer_city,
customer_state, customer_zip, customer_phone, vin,
acct_number, tag, title_number, tag_type_number, branch_number,
institution_number, yr_make, state_from, type_number)
response.write rs
%>
I'm I connecting them correctly. Is there and easier way to execute a stored procedure. I'm trying to insert data into a SQL page. I have to have the customer number returned to me asap for the next page.
I use this code all the time, but what does the ",,129" mean? Are there other parameters that one might use (I only do fairly simple SQL commands).
conn.execute strSQL,,129
Is there any way to modify the locktype when updating a database via a connection object's execute method? I have a game which worked completely fine when only ten or so people were playing, but as it grew into the hundreds, many people started getting errors and I'm 99% sure that they occur when the database tries to update when it's locked, which means that my connection execute statements are defaulting to pessimistic locking, which I don't want them to. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
View Replies View Relatedwhat is the best way to protect the connection strings keeping an effective, low overheaded access to them ?
I have 3 db connections, 2 of which are dsnless connections to access db's. Any of my previous existing pages that have recordsets from these db's work fine. I can add a new recordset to them and it works fine as well.
If I create a new page and add the same recordset in the same directory, I get the error msg saying something like "unable to open registry key" which from my understanding, means the page cant find the db.
Now I am using Dreamweaver 2004, and using their way to create connections where it creates a file, and then just adds an include statement an asp page if you use that connection.
Any good way to test this connection on the page or any ideas on how to troubleshoot where the path its pointing to is incorrect...im pretty much stuck at this point.
What is the best way to control is a transaction? I've done a little test and both of the examples below seem to do the job, but I was wondering which is the better method, this:
If err.number <> 0 Then
conn.RollbackTrans
Else
conn.CommitTrans
End If
Or this:
If conn.Errors.Count <> 0 Then
conn.RollbackTrans
Else
conn.CommitTrans
End If
I'm trying to access an access database by including the DB's password within the connection string. I try to connect to the DB, but I get and "Incorrect Password" error. What am I doing wrong?

conn.Open(Server.Mappath("maindb.mdb"))

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.

I'm developing an Asp.NET system to take a CSV file uploaded via the web, parse it, and insert the values into an SQL database. My sticking point comes when I try to split() the string returned by readline() on the file.
The following code snippet works for me:
tokens = "one,two,three,four".Split(",")
for each token in tokens
response.write("<td>"+token+"</td>")
next
However, if I take the next line in the CSV, read using StreamReader.ReadLine on the PostedFile.InputStream, I receive "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." which I have narrowed down to be my string holding the line. Further investigation reveals that no other string member functions work on my line (.ToCharArray, .ToString, etc).

I am trying to put a condition in my Global.asa file based on the server
name.the reason, I want to set a global string as a application variable based on
the server I am on.
I also need to set a coonection string based on the value of the server.
I need to use this connection string to retrieve values from an sp in
application on start that sets a load of global variables so I can't really
do this anywhere else.
I have a site which until this morning, was on a remote server. The structure was that the "site" was actually a folder on the server, as I am designer and use this arrangement to develop sites. Under the root directory, I had modified the global asa file to include session variables. Ok, so I download the site (folder) to my hard drive, and put it in the folder of "MY Documents" called MyWebs. I then opened VB Studio and created a new solution, which is pointing to the before mentioned directory in My Documents. When I pull the site up in IE, the session variables were not being called, and I realized I had not copied over the asa file. So I did so, placing a copy of it in the hard drive's c inetpub wwwroot directory, and also directly in the my docs mywebs directory,and the site's directory as well. It seems it is still not being called.Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
View Replies View RelatedIs the Global.asa file resolved before parsing the 'Include' (files) or
after parsing the 'Include' (files)?
I have IIS 5.0 installed on for a test server. the global.asa file runs perfectly.
when tryng the same application on win server 2003 IIS 6.0 the global.asa does not fire. i have set the application as a virtual site and given rights for iwam and iusr. What else could be the problem. Code:
How does IIS 6.0 treat the global.asa file? I had the following problem;
1. uploaded a new site to the win3k server
2. had incorrect db connection string in Session_OnStart in global.asa and website caused errors.
3. Changed the global.asa file to include the correct details. Saved the file. Still got the same errors.
I could not resolve this unless restarting the WWW Service on this server. In IIS 5.0 the global.asa file would reload after resaving it (as the timestamp is updated).
I even waited the next day before restarting the service because I though Session_OnStart expires after my session ends...but the error was still there
in the morning.
Hopefully someone will make sense of it for me. Here is the code (I inherited) in the global.asa
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("DB.ConnectionString")= ""
Application("MaxLoginAttempts") = 5
Set Application("Con") = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Session("Test") = Now()
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart....
