[RESOLVED] update problem

**russell** · 12-18-2006, 08:01 PM

if you comment out the debug code (the stuff i gave u to write that out) it oughtta update the db now. is 'param_Jan1' the intended value?from the url u showed, it looks like it should be 'A'. i dont see where u are setting the value of update__param_Jan1.

I dont think I have set it up. That is probably why it keeps telling me that it is Jan1 undefined. How would I write that. This is what I have so Far. Thanks again for your help sorry im a tart when it comes to this.

<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>

<% var Recordset1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_lvcc_STRING;
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT tblJanuary.SSN, tblJanuary.EOD, [tblJanuary.Last four], tblJanuary.firstname, tblJanuary.lastname, tblJanuary.ORGCODE, tblTollFreeEmployees.SCD, tblJanuary.SEID, tblJanuary.Jan1, tblJanuary.extra2, tblJanuary.timestamp1 FROM tblJanuary, tblTollFreeEmployees WHERE [tblTollFreeEmployees.SEID] = [tblJanuary.SEID] and tblJanuary.Jan1 LIKE ('R%') ORDER BY tblJanuary.EOD";
Recordset1.CursorType = 0;
Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2;
Recordset1.LockType = 1;
Recordset1.Open(); %>
<%
var Repeat1__numRows = -1;
var Repeat1__index = 0;
Recordset1_numRows += Repeat1__numRows;
%>
<%var Recordset1_numRows = 0;
if((Request.QueryString("seid").length>0) && (Request.QueryString("Jan1").length >0) && (Request.QueryString("Extra2").length > 0)) {
var update = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command");
update.ActiveConnection = MM_lvcc_STRING;
update.CommandText = "UPDATE tblJanuary SET tblJanuary.Jan1 = 'param_Jan1', tblJanuary.Extra2 = 'param_comments' WHERE tblJanuary.seid IN (param_seid) ";
update.CommandType = 1;
update.CommandTimeout = 0;
update.Prepared = true;
update.Execute();
}
else {
Response.Write("No QueryString values");
}

landslide, u keep posting different code!

alright, in this one... change the last script block -- that is everything between <%var Recordset1_numRows = 0;
and %> to what I put below.

change it exactly and dont make any other changes

Code:

<%
var Recordset1_numRows = 0;
var param_Jan1 = Request.QueryString("Jan1");
var param_comments = Request.QueryString("comments");
var param_seid = Request.QueryString("seid");

if((param_seid.length>0) && (param_Jan1.length >0) && (param_comments.length > 0)) {
	var update = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command");
	update.ActiveConnection = MM_lvcc_STRING;
	update.CommandText = "UPDATE tblJanuary SET Jan1 = '" + param_Jan1.replace(/'/g, "''") + "', Extra2 = '" + param_comments.replace(/'/g, "''") + "' WHERE seid IN (" + param_seid.replace(/'/g, "''") + ")";
	update.CommandType = 1;
	update.CommandTimeout = 0;
	update.Prepared = true;
	update.Execute();
}
else {
	Response.Write("No QueryString values");
}
%>

also, please put your code samples between code tags -- it makes it much easier to read.

I would suggest chcking out an ASP tutorial for basic stuff like accessing the Request Object, assigning variables etc. You will find a lot more samples of ASP written is vbScript than JScript, but either way is ok.

this is a pretty decent place to start. and there are many others.
