Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/6/2006 12:13:01
Hi,
I have searched every single thread and have read every tutorial I could find, and still cannot get how to do this. I am using FP2003 and an Access 2003 db hosted on a windows server (of course!).
The user logs into his account, and his email and password are passed via url querystring from page to page, thus displaying his pertinent information. Thus far, I have used the DRW to display the information, according to the variables in the url QueryString.
However, on the "update account info" page, I'm hand-coding and all I want to do is have the form with their address, etc., prepopulate, according to the email and password already in the url, and then let them change it as necessary and update their record. On this page, I decided to hand code it as the drw needs too much assistance. The other problem is that I want them to be able to change their email and password, also.
Here's my code, the database connection name is Database1 and the table name is user_info:
<%
DIM EMAIL1
EMAIL1 = Request.QueryString("EMAIL")
DIM PASSWORD1
PASSWORD1 = Request.QueryString("PASSWORD")
Set Catalog=Server.OpenObject("ADODB.user_info")
Catalog.open "SELECT * FROM Catalog FIRSTNAME = '::FIRSTNAME::', LASTNAME = '::LASTNAME::', EMAIL = '::EMAIL::', PASSWORD = '::PASSWORD::', URL='::URL::', EXTENSION = '::EXTENSION::', HOSTINGTYPE = '::HOSTINGTYPE::', ADDRESS = '::ADDRESS::', ADDRESS2='::ADDRESS2::', CITY = '::CITY::', USSTATE = '::USSTATE::', CANADIANPROVINCE = '::CANADIANPROVINCE::', UKDISTRICTS = '::UKDISTRICTS::', COUNTRY = '::COUNTRY::', ZIP = '::ZIP::' WHERE EMAIL1='::EMAIL::' AND PASSWORD1 = '::PASSWORD::'", "DSN=DATABASE1"

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/6/2006 16:12:46
quote:
<%=FIRSTNAME%>
The first thing I'd address is this. You haven't defined what the variable FIRSTNAME is yet. Yes, you've opened a DB connection but you haven't assigned anything to that variable. I'd try it this way:
Set Catalog=Server.OpenObject("ADODB.connection")
Catalog.open "DSN=DATABASE1"
set rs=Catalog.execute("SELECT * FROM Catalog FIRSTNAME = '::FIRSTNAME::', LASTNAME = '::LASTNAME::', EMAIL = '::EMAIL::', PASSWORD = '::PASSWORD::', URL='::URL::', EXTENSION = '::EXTENSION::', HOSTINGTYPE = '::HOSTINGTYPE::', ADDRESS = '::ADDRESS::', ADDRESS2='::ADDRESS2::', CITY = '::CITY::', USSTATE = '::USSTATE::', CANADIANPROVINCE = '::CANADIANPROVINCE::', UKDISTRICTS = '::UKDISTRICTS::', COUNTRY = '::COUNTRY::', ZIP = '::ZIP::' WHERE EMAIL1='::EMAIL::' AND PASSWORD1 = '::PASSWORD::'")
Then you should be able to write them like so:
<%=rs("fieldName")%>
as in:
<%=rs("FIRSTNAME")%>
That help any?

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/7/2006 9:48:20
Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply. I did that, and received a 500 internal server error. I have several tables in my database. Do I need to define which table to take the information from?

Is "Catalog" *not* your table name? And yes, you absolutely must indicate the table for any SQL command to work.

Also, can you post any error code sent with the 500 error? You may need to turn "freindly error messages" off.

This is what I get, after turning off friendly error messages and then restarting it:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

What is the table name you're trying to pull from?

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/7/2006 11:13:11
It's called user_info. I got rid of "Catalog" and replaced it with user_info, still the same error.

OK. Let's backtrack a little and try simplifying the query to this for testing purposes:
Set Catalog=Server.OpenObject("ADODB.connection")
Catalog.open "DSN=DATABASE1"
set rs=Catalog.execute("SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE FIRSTNAME = '::FIRSTNAME::'")
Does it still error?
(Notice the "WHERE"? I may have left that out before.  Sorry.)

Can you post the name of your database file?

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/8/2006 13:00:05
Hi,
The name of my database file is fds. How do I know if I have a dns or dns-less connection? I believe that matters regarding the connection string

After looking at this again I suspect the issue may be right in there.
Set Catalog=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
But if that still is not the case, see if you can put this code on it's own ASP page, browse to it and see if we get any response with that:
<%
Set Catalog=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
Catalog.open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.Mappath("/fpdb/fds.mdb")
set rs=Catalog.execute("SELECT * FROM user_info")
Response.write(rs("FirstName"))
rs.close
set rs=nothing
Catalog.close
set Catalog=nothing
%>
That any help?

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/9/2006 22:13:51
Thank you for that code. I didn't get an error this time. However, it only returned one record in the table (i have about 1500). I even added a WHERE clause and i still got the same record. What do you think?

Yup, 'cause we haven't put a loop in yet. I was just confirming we can talk to the database and grab a record. What I would do is go back to the code posted a little ways up (using all the fields) and change the line here:
Set Catalog=Server.OpenObject("ADODB.connection")
to this:
Set Catalog=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
so that it looks like this:
Set Catalog=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
Catalog.open "DSN=DATABASE1"
set rs=Catalog.execute("SELECT * FROM user_info FIRSTNAME = '::FIRSTNAME::', LASTNAME = '::LASTNAME::', EMAIL = '::EMAIL::', PASSWORD = '::PASSWORD::', URL='::URL::', EXTENSION = '::EXTENSION::', HOSTINGTYPE = '::HOSTINGTYPE::', ADDRESS = '::ADDRESS::', ADDRESS2='::ADDRESS2::', CITY = '::CITY::', USSTATE = '::USSTATE::', CANADIANPROVINCE = '::CANADIANPROVINCE::', UKDISTRICTS = '::UKDISTRICTS::', COUNTRY = '::COUNTRY::', ZIP = '::ZIP::' WHERE EMAIL1='::EMAIL::' AND PASSWORD1 = '::PASSWORD::'")
Now I'm thinking there will be another issue since we're using DRW syntax but not a full DRW so you may have to alter the code to look like this:
set rs=Catalog.execute("SELECT * FROM user_info FIRSTNAME = '" & Request.form("FIRSTNAME") & "', LASTNAME = '" & Request.form("LASTNAME") & "',...
That help any?

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/11/2006 9:12:24
As soon as I put the field names in there, with any syntax (even w/out the where clause), it gives me the 500 error.
I tried passing the variables through querystring and POST.

Can you try separating that line into 3 for now?
...
myTempVar = "SELECT * FROM user_info FIRSTNAME = '" & Request("FIRSTNAME") & "', ......AND PASSWORD1 = '" & Request("PASSWORD") & "'"
Response.write(myTempVar)
Response.end
....
What that should do is write your SQL to the screen. Then maybe you could post that. That should put a little more light on the subject.

RE: Prepopulate form and then update existing records - 2/15/2006 13:31:00
Oh my gosh! I got it to work! I had to give all the fields default values and make sure "Allow 0 input" was ON in the database.
The only prob I have now is that I don't know how to get my form to select input based on parameters in the querystring.
Now I only need help with two things:
1. Put a WHERE clause in my SELECT statement
2. Put a loop in the code to make it find the right record
Thank you for making my code work thus far. Any suggestions you might have about the above will be so helpful!
The code in red gives me the 500 error. As soon as I take it out, it's fine.
<%
Set Catalog=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
Catalog.open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.Mappath("/fpdb/fds.mdb")
EMAIL = Request.QueryString("EMAIL")
PASSWORD = Request.QueryString("PASSWORD")
set rs=Catalog.execute("SELECT * FROM user_info WHERE EMAIL = '::EMAIL::'")
%>
<form method="GET" action="AccountUpdate.asp" name="FrontPage_Form1">
input type="text" name="FN" size="20" value="<%=rs("FIRSTNAME")%>"></td>
'more field names...
<a href="AccountUpdate.asp"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1">
</form>
<%
rs.close
set rs=nothing
Catalog.close
set Catalog=nothing
%>

FYI: That syntax there (using double colons) is for the DRW only AFAIK as a shorthand for 'Request'. If you're not inside a FrontPage DRW, it won't work like that.
