Function In The InStr Function
I want to use the instr function, but return results from it depending on surtain functions, I can't realy explain so I'll show my example:

I have a string in wich some word I want to find might be in diffrent Capital Letters order, I want the Instr function to return all the values of the place of that word (avcourse I'll run a for and increase the starting point of the Instr func until it returns 0). The instinct thought is to use the Lcase or the Ucase functions, but in this case I don't know how to use them. In the same Idea I wanted to use the Instr Func with the trim Func, But Its realy the same principle if I just understood how to do so.

Asp Function
I am trying to call a function in asp to check to see if a varibale has a value stored in it if there is nothing wite the value NA into it. My code is

end function

AccountNo = ""
Name = "sam clowes"
email = ""

AccountNo = (NullValues(AccountNo))
Name = (NullValues(Name))
email = (NullValues(email))

response.Write AccountNo & "<br>"
response.Write Name & "<br>"
response.Write email & "<br>"

When I run this code ALL the variables are blank and nothing is output

Now() Function
I am using the now() function to be displayed on an email after a form submission has been sent. The problem is that the server is not in the same timezone as I am for the result. How do I adjust the hours on the now() to allow for this please ?

Sub Or Function
I know the basic difference between a subroutine and a function is a
subroutine performs a task and a function performs a task and returns a
value. The Call keyword is required when using parens with subs with more
than 1 parameters. Parens around values passed are ByVal vs ByRef and is a
waste of processing if passed ByRef for no reason.
I am told there is no reason to ever use a subroutine as a function can be
used even if it doesn't return a value. While this appears to be true, is
there any reason why it's ever a bad idea to use a function, instead of a
subroutine, that doesn't return a value? Are there memory, performance,
etc. issues?

Asp Function
I have a column in the table which contains 2 full names seperated by "&" (e.g: Joe Smith & Jeff Scott) I want to display only the first names of the whole record in an asp page. Is there an asp function using which i can do this?

Mod Function
im using the mod function to create a calendar for me, which everything works perfectly, all is totally well with that!
but...when i use the mod function it churns out this loooooooooong string which is the whole table...
if there is some way that i can insert hard breaks IN THE CODE ITSELF.

NaN Function
I used to be quite an experienced ASP programmer but I haven't used it for a while

I’m trying to do something that I remember as very simple I'm trying to check that the value of a form text box is numerical using the isNaN function. The code I am using is:

<%
quantity = Request.Form("number1")

if isNaN(quantity) = true then
Response.Write "Your input was not a number"
else
Response.Write "Your input was a number"
end if
%>

All I get is a NaN type mismatch error.

Contains Function
Is there a function to check to see if a string contains a space
Thanks

Mid() Function
When I create a single character string

num = asc(str)
Response.Write num ' 65 shows up
'when I have a whole string
str = "hello"
str = mid(str, 1, 1) ' return 'h'
num = asc(str)

'I get an error:

Invalid procedure call or argument:'asc'What can be done to fix this?

Use Asc() Function
I've an array to store alphabets, in my code...in a random order. How can i use the Asc() function to get the equivalent Ascii of each alaphabaet of that array....

Response.write Asc("ArrayName(i)")
next

it displays 65, "NOOfElements" times (ascii of A)...on the other hand..i can't write

ASP Aggregate Function
I have been searching the boards trying to find an answer to this
question and no luck. I am using a query similar to this:

Select count(col1) from table1

I was having a hard time accessing the count information. After
reading for a while the following SQL examples were given to correct
this issue.

Select count(col1) Blah from table1
Select count(col1) As Blah from table1

Then, supposedly, I am able to access the data using the following:
rsQuery("Blah")
- or -
rsQuery(0)

Neither the rsQuery("Blah") or rsQuery(0) allows me to access the data.
I get the following error.

------------------------------
Provider error '80020009'

Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB
status value, if available. No work was done.

/CallLeveraging/assets/forms/adhoc_popup.asp, line 0

The database is Oracle 9 and IIS 6 is the webserver.

Mid() Function Crippled?
Is there a reason why the Mid() function only works in one direction in
VBScript? This code works in VB6 but not in VBScript? Is there a way
around it? I am trying to create an ASP page which produces a fixed width

have control over.

--code sample--
Dim strSomeString

strSomeString = Space(100)

Mid(strSomeString, 1, 4) = "test"
Mid(strSomeString, 10, 20) = "Something else"
--end sample--
