Hi Jonathan,



Based on everything you want to do, you might want to look into getting 

a copy of Macromedia's "Dreamweaver Ultradev 4"...it'll do everything 

you want to do and more.

  ASP DATABASES

  1). If I set a cookie into ones harddrive. That cookie being saved 

will be the user ID.

      How do I request a cookie place it into a variable then use that 

variable value to build a SQL

      string. How do I get this value and get it into the form or into 

the database from a cookie.

  2). How do you use a querystring to get to a database record (ex. 

asp?PeopleID=3D21) etc...

      The goal Im trying to reach is to have a the user search through 

records that they want displayed

      through the search will display a <a href"" including the 

querystring in the href that will direct

      the user to an update form for that record.

  3). Can anyone direct me to some good javascript form validation 

scripts out there.

...and it'd be a nightmare to debug. Have you ever seen the code that

UltraDev generates? <shudder>



My recommendation would be a good book:

Beginning ASP v3 by Wrox Press is a good start:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861003382/



Cheers

Hi guys,



I just recommended that b/c a lot of DB-driven functionality for the

non-programmer.  I'm hardcore into code myself, but that's the route I

normally advise people go if they haven't got the time to learn complex DB

functions and SQL.



jas :)

3 questions...umm...

question 1 ...I dont use alot of cookies because some people set their

browsers to not allow them

question 3 ...depends on what type of validation you want 2 good sites are

      http://www.irt.org <http://www.irt.org>   and

http://www.javascript.internet.com <http://www.javascript.internet.com>  

question 2....build your select statement then response.write it for

verification after it looks good add the rest

' Response.Write mySQL

 

' Use the key for the table as the driver for the view

idfield="TableID"



' Where do you want to go next.....

scriptresponder="your2.asp"

set conntemp=server.createobject("adodb.connection")

conntemp.open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _

            "User Id=admin;" & _

            "Password=;" 

set rstemp=conntemp.execute(mySQL)

howmanyfields=rstemp.fields.count -1
