Newbie needs help getting database results to go horizo... - 1/28/2007 1:19:44   
Hello from a newbie requesting help.

I have an MS Access 2003 database which I am pulling information from. If you go to this address:

http://www.ccdump.org/uniformdisplay.asp?UniformSeries=ENT

you can see the database results I have. I want to sort the database by [UniformPicture] (easy enough) but I want each of the cells:

<<UniformPicture>>
<<UniformDescription>>

to be displayed in order horizontally.

If anyone has suggestions, I sure would appreciate it.

RE: Newbie needs help getting database results to go ho... - 1/28/2007 3:46:50   
Actually if you look at the page, I did get them to show up horizontally (I followed the directions at http://web.archive.org/web/20050408015739/http://home.att.net/~codelibrary/FrontPage/multi_p.htm, but when I display ALL the records, they do NOT fall into columns automatically. I just get ONE row with a bunch of columns.

Any suggestions?

Have a close look at this link. There's not a lot there but very relevant:

Hope it helps.

I have seen this page.

How would you change the above code to get it to loop or fit into specific columns?

That stuff looks like it's doubled. Same with the above one that starts the row(<tr>). I think they may need to be single. I have not fully diagnosed your page but that looks like an issue to me.

Also, you need to reset count back to 0 on the last one I think. You're never resetting count to get it to equal 1 to start your next row.

That help any?

RE: Newbie needs help getting database results to go ho... - 1/29/2007 15:03:58   
So the last one should be:

If count = 0 Then
count = 0


I will try that.

Thanks for any additional suggestions.

Not quite. It should be:

...
IF count = 5 THEN
count = 0
...

I believe your logic is the same as mine. When we get 5 items we want to start another row correct? So if we are checking for count to equal 0, it *never* will 'cause we always add 1 to it on the first line. ANsd if we check for 5 and then set it also to 5, it will never get back to 1 to start the new row next time we recurse the loop.

Does that make any sense?

I tried changing the code, but it still won't go to the next row.

I tried bring out all of the records, but it won't work.

Look very closely at this code and you should see the differences. Hope it helps.

Quick question:

Is there a simple way to make this go down 5 rows, then start a new column.

Basically, I just wanna know if there's an easy way to make a horizontal scroll into a vertical scroll.

Ex:
_______________
| text 1 | text 6 |
| text 2 | text 7 |
| text 3 | text 8 |
| text 4 | text 9 |
| text 5 | text 10|

Simple, no - not at all.

I have a script that I use that does that for 3 columns but it is absolutely not for the weak-at-heart. And there is no way I'd attempt it with the DRW - i'ts just too much work. I dump he data into arrays and loop thru the array using a count of "ubound(array,2) MOD 3" for the number of times thru the loop and the most difficult part (for me anyways) was determinig the last row.

However, if you're interested, I'll post what I use for the 3 column one. If you're not comfortable with ASP, arrays, and stuff, it would probably be a job to tackle it. But if you can follow it and the theory, you should be able to make it do 5 columns.

Thanks rdouglass. Let me take a look at the code. I may be a newbie at this coding stuff, but I am a reasonably logical person.
