Cannot Find Error on this ASP

[M P]

Hi Team!

Hope that you could help me! Its been days since I made this script but I
cannot fix the problem! IE is prompting me that there is a Syntax Error but
it seems that the syntax is OK! Can you help me find the problem?

Note the fields PartNo and ItemDesc is the only text data type on my MS
Access database.
<%
Dim strSQL

Set conn= Server.CreateOb ject("ADODB.Con nection")
conn.Open "FileDSN=dsn.ds n"
strSQL= "INSERT INTO tblItems
(PartNo,ItemDes c,Category,MinS tockLevel,Cost, Currency) "
strSQL= strSQL & "Values('" & Request.Form("t xtPN") & "', '"
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtItemDesc") & "', "
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCategory") & ", "
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtMinStock") & ", "
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCost") & ", "
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCurrency") & ")"

conn.Execute strSQL

conn.Close

%>

I could be wrong but, the error appears to be with the following 2 lines;

<second line>
strSQL= strSQL & "Values('" & Request.Form("t xtPN") & "', '"

<last line>
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCurrency") & ")"

You've got a ' after Values( and at the end with the comma, but there's no
matching one at the end of the last line (closing the ")" )

Before:
conn.Execute strSQL

Do this:

<%
Response.Write( strSQL)
Response.End

conn.Execute strSQL
%>

and you will see your SQL statement printed to the screen. Examine it for
errors, or post it here.

Cheers

Hi M

Assuming you've copied and pasted this text, then the issue will be with your SQL string (starting with "strSQL ="). On this line you've missed the ending " & _, so it should look like this

strSQL= "INSERT INTO tblItems" &

and on each line of the string thereafter you have the trailing ", but not the required & _. This is how it should be

Set conn= Server.CreateOb ject("ADODB.Con nection"
conn.Open "FileDSN=dsn.ds n
strSQL= "INSERT INTO tblItems" &
(PartNo,ItemDes c,Category,MinS tockLevel,Cost, Currency) " &
strSQL= strSQL & "Values('" & Request.Form("t xtPN") & "', '" &
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtItemDesc") & "', " &
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCategory") & ", " &
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtMinStock") & ", " &
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCost") & ", " &
strSQL= strSQL & Request.Form("t xtCurrency") & ")

In any command or string in VBScript, if you want to break a single line statement up from one line into multiple, you need to add a underscore (_) to the end of the line. This is the character VBScript uses to indicate the next line is a continuum of the current line

Ensure that the non-text values do actually contain a numeric value, otherwise you will be posting back a blank - which will cause an error. Try adding a check function to ensure this i.e.

Function ConvNo(pNo)

If IsNumeric(pNo) Then
ConvNo = Cdbl(pNo)
Else
ConvNo = 0
End if

End Function

Then call this on each of the numeric field as:

ConvNo(Request. Form("txtCurren cy"))

This will ensure that 0 is passed rather than "" on an expected numeric entry.

True enough but he's not breaking the line up !!

so he doesn't need the &_
