Load that. Does your query look right? If so, open up tool for running
queries against your database and try running it. You didn't indicated what
database type you're using, so if this is SQL, use Query Analyzer. Access,
the query editor window, etc.

You verified that it is correct by copying and pasting that exact query and
running it in the Access query window?

Yes, and the query worked perfect. Here is what I copied and pasted

select * from tblproducts where catkey = 1 order by catkey

Ray,

First, thanks for your help. Second, 'getcon' is the connection object. The
strange thing is that this script worked fine and then all of sudden with no
warning it stopped working. I'm at a brick wall with this one. I've spent
almost 24 hours trying to figure this one ou t.

objshop.open "select * from tblproducts where catkey = " & categoryid &"

I don't understand the final bit: ... categoryid & "

Why append a double quote? Surely that's neither needed nor correct, and
results in three double quotes in the line. Remove the final &"

[thorpe]

your storing your connection object in an application variable? bad idea.

How did you deduce that her connection object is being stored in an app
variable? :]

[Ray Costanzo [MVP]]

What does your GEtCon function look like? -- Wait, sorry, I missed the
"getConn = Application("connectionObject")" line! I'm going to assume that
Application("connectionObject") is your connection string.

Try this code:

Dim oConn, objShop, sSQL
Dim categoryid
Dim sTest
sTest = Application("connectionObject")
RESPONSE.WRITE "CONNECTION STRING: " & STEST & "<HR>"
categoryid = Request.Querystring("cat")
RESPONSE.WRITE "CATEGORY ID: " & CATEGORYID & "<HR>"
sSQL = "select * from tblproducts where catkey = " & categoryid &" order by
catkey"
Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open Application("connectionObject")
Set objShop = oConn.Execute(sSQL)
Response.Write "Records returned? " & (Not objShop.EOF)
objShop.Close : Set objShop = Nothing

[Ray Costanzo [MVP]]

Notice that it's not _SET_ getCon =, so that would imply that
Application("connectionObject") is most likely a connection string, not a
connection object. It's just named a bit deceivingly.

Generally this means that you are using the ADO constants somewhere, but you
haven't Included adovbs.inc

Are you sure categoryid is of a valid value?

Terrible idea to store a connection object in an application variable.
Are you sure that app var is valid?

If it used to work, how about permissions on the access file changing?
