asp_database_setup thread: Error using "GetString" command


Message #1 by mot98@y... on Wed, 20 Feb 2002 02:01:00
I am using the "Beginning ASP Databases" book, and I am using the example 

on page 173.



I configured it to query my own database and creat the table as described. 

I am getting this error when trying to view the page:



Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03ea' 



Syntax error 



/waterloo_select.asp, line 18 



Response.Write oRSmt.GetString(,,"</TD><TD>","</TD></TR><TR><TD>",&nbsp;")





This is exactly how it is written in the book, so I am a little confused 

as to why it is erroring out... here is the code in full...:



<%

   Set oRSmt=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

   txtSQL = "SELECT * FROM Contacts WHERE BusinessCity=Waterloo;"

   oRSmt.Open txtSQL, "DSN=BMH"

   oRSmt.MoveFirst

   Response.Write "<TABLE BORDER=1><TR><TD>"

   Response.Write oRSmt.GetString

(,,"</TD><TD>","</TD></TR><TR><TD>",&nbsp;")

   Response.Write "</TD></TR></TABLE>"

   oRSmt.Close

   Set oRSmt=nothing

%>



Can someone help me with this?? 



TIA...

Count the number of double quotes ( " ) that you have on that line. You have

a mis-matched number of string delimiters.



Cheers

Thanks Ken, I actually resolved the prob by putting in a "$" instead..



but now I am coming up with this error...



  Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e10' 



[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1. 



/waterloo_select.asp, line 15 



it is refering to this line of code below...



  oRSmt.Open txtSQL, "DSN=BMH"



any suggestions would be much appreciated...



Cheers

The problem is with your SQL statement.
