I am using access Memo field to store text of large size. If I use <%=memofield%> in simple display, it does not look like a formatted field and all text comes in a single line without any break.
Even If the text is same like what I am posting in this thread, out come will not have break in browser's display.
I stored several lines of information in a Access memo field.I use follow ASP response.write statement to display contain of the memo field.
Response.Write sa1("job_detail")
However, all the lines are mixed into one line. How can I show it in the original format?
Here is what I am trying to do
filecont = objRS("contents")
filecont = replace(filecont,vbLF,",")
if i use the objRS instead of the filecont in the replace function i get the
same issue. If I do anything with this field (use InStr, or other menial
functions) I get no records can be displayed. The contents field is a memo
field within Access, i am wondering if this is causing the issue?
I have an Access 2000 db with a memo field.Into the memo field I put text with bold attributes, URL etc etc
What I need to to is converting the rich text contained into the memo
field in plain text.That's because I truncate the string text but if, when I truncate it
there's a rich tag the code following the truncated string is corrupted.Don't know if it's clear enough.
Just to summarize:
1) memo field cointaining rich text
2) I need to transform it in plain text
I don't know what i am doing wrong. I have an access database,and One of my fields is
Memo format. So when i try to display the information in that field, I was unable to do so, nothing would come up in IE. but the data is there in the fields.something like this.
response.write(rs("description"))
when i changed the field to "text" format, everything worked perfectly fine, ASP was able to display the information stored in that field. But when i changed it back to memo, it would display nothing.is there like a special way of displaying information stored in a Memo field?
I know how to display a text field from an mdb file. You type: <%= CmdPopulateStates("fieldname") %>
where CmdPopulateStates is declared as:
Set CmdPopulateStates = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
But if 'fieldname' was a memo field rather than text field then the information isn't displayed. In fact, if it's anything other than text then it won't be displayed. How do I display other field types?
i'd like to know if there is some way to detect whether a field is of type MEMO (i'm using MS Access) so to behave accordingly placing a textarea instead of a textbox in the UI.
View Replies View RelatedI have several asp pages that display information from an Access DB. Some of the fields are memo fields. If I use simpler queries such as:
SELECT * FROM " & MyTabla & " WHERE " & MyCriteria
the memo fields are retrieved and displayed Ok.
However, if I use more "complicated" queries such as:
SELECT " & selecti & " FROM " & MyJoin & " GROUP BY " &grupi & " HAVING " & MyCriteria
the memo fields get truncated after the first 255 characters, i.e. only the first 255 characters are returned, but the fields are larger and get retrieved ok if I use the "simpler" queries!
I can't print the contents of an Access memo field. Every other field type displays fine but this one.
I saw an old thread saying that you should first assign the memo field to a variable but that also doesn't seem to work (please see the attached bit of code). The memo field is "Message". Code:
I have a DSN connection for MySql with Asp. Used Text
field[Memo] to store the data. While displaying the data
its gives the error,if field is empty. But works well if
not empty. So pls help me to check the text/memo field
for empty/null. How?
i am testing if my memo field (access DB) has anything in it by doing
if isnull(rs("memofld")) then
do this
end if
The script is not picking up a valid value if it is null or not. I have also tried testing for it equalling "" but no lick either.
Read alot of stuff online with people having the same problem but no luck. I have tried selecting the memo field last in the sql query but this makes no difference.
I have a memo field in my recordset that will have varying amounts of text inserted into it from an online form. This is then uploaded to a table cell. At the minute it is just going in one long line across the table. How can I get this text to wrap or line break at a table width of say 500px. Is this an html or asp solution?
View Replies View RelatedI have been doing adodb connections and using Access2000 for several lightweight websites. I have never had any problem with any of the SQL commands to insert, update, delete, etc.
I can insert a record into a memo field just fine ... up to a certain number of characters (nowhere near the 65K limit). After several hundred characters, the insert fails ... nothing happens ... the execute just idles and no insert is done. Anyone help? I have read about data types, etc., but everything I read sounds as if ASP and Access 2000 are suppose to handle the type conversions. They have been doing it up to this certain size.
I'm using asp to retrieve data from a server and import that data in a client that uses MSAccess, into a memo field. The text hes line breaks 0D 0A (the usual DOS line breaks). However the client sees these line breaks as two squares!
The strange thing is that when I look at the exported text (yes, I also export text from the client to the server), it also contains the same line breaks. So the exported text from the memo field can look exactly the same as the imported text, and before the export the line breaks are correctly shown als line breaks, but after the import that same line breaks are shown as squares! I would like to see line breaks after the import and NO squares.
I'm trying to insert this text into a memo field:
Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
str = Server.MapPath("database/alumni.mdb")
strDB = "Provider=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & str
cnn.Open strDB
Set rst = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
sql = "INSERT INTO tblMessage (MessageID, UserID, PostTypeID, Subject,
DatePosted, MessageText, Active) Values ('" & vMessageID & "','" &
vUser & "', " & vPostType & ",'" & vSubject & "','" & vDatePosted &
"','" & vMessageText & "',0)"
rst.Open sql, cnn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
vMessageText = "This is a test just to see if it will blow up on a
large comment. Just testing again. Don't mind me."
Can I put this into my database field or is it too much and if not,
how do I solve this issue. I need to be able to post messages and
input for large fields.

My application saves variable length user-generated messages in an
ACCESS memo field. ASP writes these messages correctly retaining CR LF to
generate new paragraphs. (have checked this in the actual data base).

unformatted text. Anyone any idea how I can overcome this?

View Replies View RelatedI have been given some text that needs to be displayed on a web page. The text is pre-formatted (includes things like lists etc) and displays okay if I wrap it using the <pre/> tag. However, the font used is rather "naff" and looks too different to the rest of my web page.
I'm not sure how I can (or even whether I can) override the font used with the <pre/> tag. If not, is there another tag I can use to display pre-formatted text?
