I have been quoted!!!! Now I can go to my grave peacefully. Thanks dparsons. I have always admired your posts for their reasonable approach and patience. That is particularly evident in this thread! Kudos.

phantom: What dparsons is saying is correct - you really need to learn some basics. Developers in these forums can help, but they really can't debug your code. What I think dparsons is saying - is that now is the time in your career that you must learn the techniques of debugging. The techniques you have to learn include things like how to isolate a problem, how to use reductive thinking, how to decompose a problem, how to unit test, how to read error messages, how to search for information on the internet, how to write helper functions and tracing into your application, and so on. There is a lot to learn, but it is fun and will turn you into a competent developer.

yeah i know what u mean ...i looked up for that one ..
but i'm not able to find out whats wrong with this ...plz help me out with that one ..

I'm getting this error
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
Unknown column 'abcd' in 'field list'
/save_inc.asp, line 46

for i=0 to (sSim_num-1)
        sql = "insert into srpcSims values (null,"&projID&",'"&sSim_host(i)&"','"&sSim_dir(i) &"','"&sSim_ip(i)&"',"&sSim_suid(i)&","&sSim_numBE S(i)&","&sSim_startPIN(i)&","&sSim_numPIN(i)&","&s Sim_dupPIN&",'"&sSim_authKey(i)&"','"&sSim_mthpyld size(i)&"','"&sSim_contype(i)&"')"
            db_conn.execute(sql)
Plz help ....

The error message tells you exactly what the problem is.
To see your problem you need to replace the db_conn.execute with code to 'response.write' your sql statement:

Response.Write sql
Response.End

This will print your sql statement to the browser so you can see where your problem is.

Woody you are quite welcome and thank you for the kind words, it is much appreciated.

phantom, here is a hint: it has to do with your sql statement.
