Single Quotes In Text Fields
I have an events calendar on my site, allowing local people to post events there. Two problems have come up:1. In the details section, people will naturally want to include apostrophes (single quotes) from time to time. This fails, because VBScript sees them as delimiters. Is there any form of quote marks I can use to make sure this doesn't happen?
2. The same field is defined in the Access db as Memo, which normally gives up to 64K of text, as opposed to Text, which only allows 255. Despite this, text over 255 is ignored, leading to the text being truncated.

I've got an HTML page with a series of links that are intended to search a category listing in a database.
for example
link 1 has a querystring of "?subid=Boats"
link 2 has a querystring of "?subid=Cars & Trucks"
link 3 has a querystring of "?subid=Men's & Women's Outerwear"
etc
As long as the subid doesn't contain any single quotes or any special characters such as the "&", my SQL works ok and the records are retrieved. 'm using Request("subid") to get my querystring value.Is there any way I can escape the single quotes or other special characters in the Request("subid") so it won't break the SQL?

Access 2000 doesn't allow single quote when updating records from the webpage. If the user need to insert for example the name O'neil in a field it will create this error:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''O'neil', r_add1 ='Auburn', r_add2 =' ', r_city ='AUBURN', r_state ='WA', r_zip ='98001' WHERE r_id =279'.
Is there a script I can use to accept the single quote as part of a string of characters?

Could someone explain when to use double and single quotes? I'm having a problem with an insert statement and I think it may be the quotes. The error I get is a sql syntax error.
Here is the sql statement:
strSQL = "INSERT INTO [Members] (Website, email, category, phone_no, fax) " _
& "VALUES ('" & web & "','" & mail & "','" & cat & "','" & phone & "','" & fax & "')"
The values are variables. I checked the input statements first then assigned to variables. I hoped it would make the sql statement easier for me too read. Also does Access accept null?

strSQL = strSQL & "LastName = '" & replace(lastNamefield, "'", "''") & "' "
strSQL = strSQL & "WHERE Username = '" & replace(session("svUsername"), "'", "''") & "'"

I've got multiple pages on the same server that all have the same drop down
boxes in them. It is a list of all our facilities. Every time there is a
change, I have to change it on every page. They are in the format below. Is
there an easy way to store all that data in a text file so I only have to
update it one place?
<option value="fac 1">fac 1</option>
<option value="fac 2">fac 2</option>
<option value="fac 3">fac 3</option>

I am about to show a text field from SQL7.0 database, but need to display x number of images spread out amongst the text!! Basically similar to how bbc.co.uk/news display news articles....
I am wondering the best way to do this...
I was considering splitting the text into variables and then to display these sections next to the images.
Anyone else done this?

Using ASP,VB Script,Access 2000. I have a macro which imports Fox Pro 2.6 databases into Access on a daily basis and then these tables are uploaded to the website.
When the tables are imported the fields which store numerical values with 2 decimal places are converted to text fields and it drops any zeros after the decimal point (e.g 124.40 becomes 124.4 and 110.00 becomes 100).
I am querying these new tables in my ASP pages but I want to convert these text fields back into numerical values with two decimal places. This is so that product price list on my page is all formatted the same. Is there a function I can use in my SQL statement to achieve this, or will I have to run a macro which re-designs the tables before I upload them to my website?

Can any one tell me how this is possible.

Is there any way that I can break up text in a text field to spread across multiple fields in an access database? I've got a FAQ section that I want admins to be able to edit via an online interface. Unfortunately, it often doesn't fit into the 255 character restriction that access has. Any ideas?

I am trying to bind/link 2 text fields on my online form.
So they both should show the exact same text entered in them.
When text is entered in one of them I want to see it in the other text box and vice versa and when text is deleted from one of the boxes it should also be deleted from the other one aswell.

I am working on a small application for senior users, so I want to limit the option for incorrect input whatsoever. I have a drop down box that is populated from a query and I want to make it so that when an option is selected, the pertinent text fields are populated based on the selection.
All the info I need is already being extracted from the query so its just a matter of displaying the right info based on the selection. I have been looking for examples of code but they all seem to use javascript. I am not too strong in javascript so I kinda avoided those. if there is a pure asp example, that would be fine!

I have read that there can be a periodic problem when reading large varchar or text fields from SQL server (or memo fields from Access)--they can sometimes come up as empty strings.
What I have been unable to find out is whether this problem is still around in recent versions of MDAC (>= 2.8). Does anyone know whether this problem still occurs--is it still necessary to follow the steps in that aspfaq article?

I have successfully taken over a number of variables from a .csv file and put them into an .asp page. Unfortunately the .csv file has all these variables enclosed in double quotes i.e "Hello" and appear this way on the .asp page. Is there anyway of removing the double quotes (") from the beginning and end of the variables?
I have tried splitting the individual variables on the " with this
sSeg2 = Split( var1, """ )
but this brings an error..
Unterminated string constant
