Hi,
I'm utterly confounded by this one. There must be some sort of rule that
I don't know of. I'd consider myself a Newbie+1, so be gentle.
I have a database connection (working A-Ok) and a Query String value from a
form (passed using GET & working Ok). The server is IIS5.
What I'm trying to do is get a simple IF statement to work accross the two
numeric values. Once from a database and one from a Query String.
If %Database value% = %query string value% then
response.write( "something" )
else
response.write( "nothing")
end if
....but it's not working. It always without fail responds with "nothing".
If I response.write the database variable and the query strings the values
are all numeric and there is always going to be a match. There are only 3
records in the database and 3 options on the form.
If I change it to %Database value%=%Databas e value% then it works,
specifying "something" on all the results. If I manually place a numeric
value into the code in place of %Query string value% it works as it should
do, except that of course it's static.
Here is the entire code segment:
<%
checkmcat=Reque st.Querystring( "mstrcat")
SQLREVMCAT="SEL ECT TBL_revmcat.rev mcat_ID, TBL_revmcat.rev mcat_Name FROM
TBL_revmcat ORDER BY TBL_revmcat.rev mcat_Name"
set revmcat = server.createob ject("ADODB.Con nection")
revmcat.open = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data Source=" &
Server.MapPath( "/database.mdb")
set REV_mcat=revmca t.execute(SQLRE VMCAT)
%>
<% do while not REV_mcat.eof %>
<option<% if REV_mcat(0) = checkmcat then
response.write( " SELECTED")
else
response.write( "")
end if %> value="<%= REV_mcat(0) %>">- <%= REV_mcat(1) %></option>
<%REV_mcat.move next
loop%>
<% revmcat.close %>
</select>
revmcat_ID [ REV_mcat(0) ] is a long integer AutoNumber in the Access 2000
database & is the tables Primary Key.
I've come across this before on another project I was fiddling with, in the
end I just completly change the entire database / code to work around the
problem. I can't see away round it this time though.
I guess that it is probably something obvious, or a rule I don't know of.
I've just been staring at it for so long, I'm suffering code blindness.
Thanks.

Thank-you both very much for your suggestions!
Both CInt() and Clng() worked a treat!
I'm much obliged.

Hello all,
I was wondering if there were some sort of limitations on the "if"
statement? I'm writing a program which needs to check a bunch of
conditions all at the same time (basically). And I'm pretty sure the
rest of the program is working just fine. The only thing I could think
might be wrong is that the if statement can only hold so many values in
itself? Let me show what I'm doing:
