Data type mismatch in criteria - 8/15/2006 23:33:23   
I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I keep getting a data type mismatch error on this page. What I'm doing is a simple registration form which posts to a custom confirmation page. In a second DRW on this page, I'm trying to pull and display the UserID and Timestamp from the record I just inserted with the form. As long as I don't try to add any type of WHERE clause, it works...sort of. It displays all of the records, rather than just the current one.

Maybe my mistake will jump out at someone else, because I certainly can't find it!

UserID is probably numeric. Change your SQL to:

fp_sQry="SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE UserID =" & Session("UserID")

Note: Not sure what the # is doing in there.

RE: Data type mismatch in criteria - 8/16/2006 12:25:02   
That statement gave me the following error:

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0409)
Unterminated string constant
/VRProject/confirm.asp, line 27, column 72
fp_sQry="SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE UserID =" & Session("UserID")"

Erg! This is so frustrating! I know the answer is sitting right in front of my face!! Oh, and I had the # in there because I saw several postings that said you needed them with numbers.

Lose the last double quote.

Ok, that makes me think your Session variable is empty. Can you response.write it somewhere on the page?

<%=Session("UserID")%>

Nope.

I even tried following a Spooky tutorial. All I can do is display all records. As soon as I put any kind of qualifier in, I get the same error again.

Here's the code from the submitting form:

It's not a session variable. Try this SQL:

fp_sQry="SELECT * FROM Registration WHERE UserID =::ID::"

One or more form fields were empty. You should provide default values for all form fields that are used in the query.

Use the session as Duane mentioned, but change the processing page like so :
fp_rs.Close
fp_conn.Close

Session("ID") = ID

Maybe I should find a different way to achieve what I'm trying to do!!

RE: Data type mismatch in criteria - 8/17/2006 16:53:33   
I think I see the problem. Your code is NOT submitting to a custom confirmation page. If it were, you would see a redirect statement in the red code at the top of the page. I suggest you begin anew and when you choose the "Send to Database" option in the form properties, make sure you also set it to have a custom confirmation page. In other words, there needs to be two pages. The one your form is on and the confirmation page. You then use Spooky's tutorial to carry the record ID from page 1 to page 2 and on page 2 you select the record details that correspond the the ID.

What's weird is that I AM using two pages: register.asp and confirm.asp! I'll try redoing them.

Let me ask you this. When you submit a new record, is it actually making it to the database? Try it and let me know.

Yep, it's writing to the database.

RE: Data type mismatch in criteria - 8/18/2006 9:47:51   
And the two items of code here:

http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/fb.asp?m=337669

are the fully code for each of the two pages in question? Let me tell you why I suspected nothing was posting to the database. In the code for the form, you have this:

<form method="POST" action="confirm.asp" name="StudyRegistration">

Since the action is set to confirm.asp, that would make the code bypass all the red code at the top of the page that handles the record insertion. The page should post to itself.

RE: Data type mismatch in criteria - 8/18/2006 10:09:00   
About the same time you posted the last one, I wound up with working code. Of course, I "cheated" a bit to get it...my husband was tired of seeing me pull my hair out over it, so he asked one of his web programmers to write a working page for me. His is pure asp, rather than FP asp and it's only one page rather than two, but it works! I can post it if you'd like to see how he handled it.

I appreciate all your help, and Spooky's too. Now, I can get past the easy part of project and move on to the hard stuff...making a hotspot in a flash movie display a database record in a div. (Am I a glutton for punishment or what?!?!?) With luck, I'll just barely get the project done, tested and defended in time to graduate Dec. 8!

Good luck. Glad you worked it out. Just another example of how wonderful us husbands can be. :)
