In my data base I have a list of componet types e.g. type A - I have 8 off
- type B I have 12 off etc.
I'm using
Set objRS = objDC.Execute("Select DISTINCT Component_Type FROM
Parts_Table")
to populate a drop down but would like to use several drop downs
restricting the contents of each drop down to the records pertaining to one
particular componet type eg a drop down only for type A, only for type B
etc.
can this be done if so how?
The other thing I like to do is add the price field to the drop down list
(two fields in one drop down) is this done just by seperating the fields by
a ","?

You have two choices.
1) Do it server-side. Display just the first drop down box, then when a
selection is made, post the form back to itself, and prepare/present the
second form.
2) Do it client-side. This is the most common approach, and you'll see tons
of examples on the web.

So what your saying is that if I'm working with ASP and require help with
some aspect that's client based I should'nt seek help here?
And to be halpfull you have gone to the great trouble of pointing out
that other websites have solved this problem and if I look elsewhere I
should find the answer to that which I seek?
Why did you bother to respond at all? you have told me nothing and

Give the man a cigar!
Client-side questions are off-topic in an asp newsgroup. If you take a look
at the other threads in this newsgroup, you will see that we are happy to
help with asp questions.
There are many reasons to keep the newsgroups focussed on specific topics.
If you're not interested in conforming to basic netiquette then you're not
likely to receive much sympathy.
And to be halpfull you have gone to the great trouble of pointing out
that other websites have solved this problem and if I look elsewhere I
should find the answer to that which I seek?
Why did you bother to respond at all? you have told me nothing and
explained nothing
Would you rather we all just ignore this message leaving you wondering why
nobody has responded? Is that what you consider being helpful?
Tom took time out of his day to try and help you by offering suggestions
about where to find your answer, and you respond by telling him to shut up?
I suppose you're going to tell me to shut up now. Don't bother.

Actually...
He has explained
1. You are looking for a client side script.
2. You are asking people who are interested in server side script.
3. What you ask can be done.
4. There are people who are better / more ready to help in another
location.
You have explained
1. You are not willing to do any research to find a good answer.
2. You do not understand newsgroups.
3. You are probably not the best person to write the application you
are working on :)
Yes it may be I need a client based script but my original question was
asp server based.
I'm using
Set objRS = objDC.Execute("Select DISTINCT Component_Type FROM
Parts_Table")
and simply wished to know if this line can include a statement to limit
the records displayed in the drop down to a specific group. Now that
might not be possible, iI don't know but it's not java script and I might
have to look at a million webpages to find one that had the statement I'm
looking for, if it is at all possible.
Hence my post.
I'm sorry if my question was not up to the quality you guys require but
this did seem to be the logical place to ask but rather than someone say
yes do this or no there is no way to do that with this statement I end up
geting a lecture on maners and anything but the statement I seek, put
through the third degree, tried, judged and hanged, and book written
about my impertanence for asking.
Thanks a bunch guys no doubt you were all born with your coding skills!
This thread is ammusing. Thanks y'all.
Kingdom, thicken your skin. If this is how you react to a post in a
newsgroup, I'd hate to see how you handle real life. Step back and realize
that you received help.

I think your original request has been munged entirely. The way I
understood it, you wanted to be able to dynamically populate a
dropdown based on a selected value from a list. It was stated that
this could be done server side or client side and you said that you
wanted it done client side so that it would not have to go back to the
server each time the user chose a different group. Good idea, and I
agree with it - but that means that the rest of your application will
need to be done client side... no? Once you know how that will be
done, you MAY need to redo your SQL, but you need to know what you
want client side before anyone can help you get it... no?

Yep, but first I simply need to know if the statement
Set objRS = objDC.Execute("Select DISTINCT Component_Type FROM
Parts_Table")
can incorporate somethig else that will do the job?
If it can what is it?
If it can't be included then I need to do something else!
and someday I'll know enough to know the answer but to day I don't and I'm
asking you people for help.
It seemed a simple question to me, it may be no one hear knows the answer,
well thats fine too but it also seems some would rather riducle and insult
the new guy rather make any effort actualy provide a definative answer that
might actually throw some light on the question.
I honestly didn't come here for a war, I'm not a troll and I'm well used to
getting around news groups.
One guy even starts mouthing off about my life outside off usenet, now what
kinda guy does that when sombody new arrives?

Now wait a minute. You're leaving something out. From your original post: to populate a drop down but would like to use several drop downs
restricting the contents of each drop down to the records pertaining
to one particular componet type eg a drop down only for type A, only
for type B etc.
Everyone (well, at least I did) interpreted this to mean that you wished the
options in dropdown B to be dynamically based on the selection in dropdown
A. In other words, the first dropdown would contain the types (A,B, ... ).
When the user selects one, the second dropdown would only display the
components of the type selected in the first dropdown
What you really wish is to have a separate dropdown for each type? That is
much different, and can be accomplished totally within asp.
OK, let's regroup here. You can use the recordset's Filter property to,
well, filter its records. The problem is, I don't know the name of the field
that contains the data to be limited. Your query contains a single field,
Component_type. Is that the field containing the "type A ... type B"? What
is the name of the field whose data you wish to display in these dropdowns?
Could you provide a little more information? Your table structure and some
sample data? It does not have to be real data if it's confidential. Just
enough to illustrate the situation.--
HTH,
Bob Barrows - ASP MVP
Please reply to the newsgroup. The email account listed in my From
header is my spam trap, so I don't check it very often. You will get a
quicker response by posting to the newsgroup.
Thanks Bob, hope my explanation helps to clarify the situation, I
probably I did not make it clear enough in the original post.
I have the thing running at the moment on the B dropdown depending on the
A dropdown but its not what I want as you cannot easily make changes
without going all the way back through the thing if I can use lots of
drop downs the user could play with it till thay are satisfied with all
the selections before submitting the form, rfreshing the result to get a
proper listing with price totals etc.
Table is called Parts_Table
The product field is called 'Component_Type' with the only other field of
interest being the Price field again called 'Price'
The dbase holds several hundred records but only 34 different types of
product lets call them A,B,C,D, etc so we may have 26xA and 18xb and 6xc
etc.
Now it would suit my purpose to have 34 drop downs each populated from
the Parts_Table, Component_Type field and including the price field for
the selected products. One drop down for each of the 34 different product
type each containing information from two fields
There is no dependancy between the drop downs other than the fat they are
all populated from the same two fields but all contain different records
with no duplicates at all.
The idea being that the the user can select one product from each off the
product type groups in each of the drop downs, see the price and only
when he has done all of this to his satisfaction do I then collect
everything and refresh the page, laying it all out for him with a total
cost and options to mail etc.
eg
drop down 1 Product A - POPULATED BY
A1 PRICE
A2 PRICE
A3 PRICE
A4 PRICE
drop down 2 Product B - POPULATED BY
B1 PRICE
B2 PRICE
B3 PRICE
B4 PRICE
To be clear. You have a table called Parts_Table with the fields -
Component_Type, Price and a field for the name of the part, correct?
What I'd suggest you do, is to query the ENTIRE table, sorted by the
Component_Type then the Component_Name.
Set objRS = objDC.Execute("SELECT UniqueID, Component_Type, Price,
Component_Name FROM Parts_Table ORDER BY Component_Type, Component_Name")
This will give you a recordset with all of the items in your table sorted by
component type. I'd iterate through the list and when you hit a new
Component_Type, start a new select box.
Dim sCurrentComponentType
Set objRS = 'As above
if not objRS.EOF then
sCurrentComponentType=objRS.Fields("Component_Type ").Value
Response.Write "<select name=""" & sCurrentComponentType &
""">"
Do While not objRS.EOF
if objRS.Fields("Component_Type").Value <> sCurrentComponentType
then
sCurrentComponentType=objRS.Fields("Component_Type ").Value
Response.Write "</select>"
Response.Write "<select name=""" & sCurrentComponentType &
""">"
end if
'Now the individual options
Response.Write "<option value=""" &
objRS.Fields("UniqueID").Value & """>"
objRS.MoveNext
Loop
Response.Write "</select>"
end if
Set objRS=nothing
You should note that Bob will tell you to use GetRows to turn your Recordset
into an array. He's right, I'm sure, but I never do that.
I was away from my computer from my computer for a few hours. I did not
mean to belittle you, I think it was clearly a misunderstanding. The "I
want my second select box to change based on the choice of the first box"
question comes up frequently in this newsgroup, and it's usually the
client-side solution the person is looking for.

Thanks Tom, I'v saved the post and I appreciate everyones effors here.
I'll start looking at your suggestions tomorrow I'm still in the early
stages of learning ASP and my head is burned out for now.
I'll try a be a bit clearer if I have any other questions as I'm sure I
will have before I get to the point where I feel I have a handle on it
all.

A slight alteration. Access cannot handle batched queries, so you would have
to open two separate recordsets, one from each query. It would look like
this:
dim rsTypes,rsComps, strSQL
Dim sCurCompType
'open the connection, then
Set rsTypes= server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
rsTypes.cursorlocation=adUseClient
strSQL= "SELECT DISTINCT Component_Type " & _

'disconnect the recordset
set rsTypes.ActiveConnection = nothing

rsComps.cursorlocation=adUseClient
strSQL= "SELECT UniqueID, Component_Type, Price, Component_Name " & _
"FROM Parts_Table ORDER BY Component_Type, Component_Name"
rsComps.Open strSQL,cn,,,adCmdText
'disconnect the recordset
set rsComps.ActiveConnection = nothing
cn.Close: set cn=nothing
'The rest is unchanged

I just wanted to add that you would not want to do it this way if your table
contained thousands of rows of data. You would be better off using two
dropdowns: one for the user to select a type, the other to display the
corresponding items based on the type selected.
With a few hundred records, however, both methods should work well. Frankly,
with an Access database, I would be leaning more towards Tom's method.

Actually, I highly recommend assigning the statement to a variable, so you
can response.write it for debugging purposes:

I'm guessing that the word wrap is the problem. In VBScript, the end of the

if objRS.Fields("Component_Type").Value <> sCurrentComponentType then

You have to be very careful when using code from a newsgroup message. News
readers tend to put line breaks where the message composers never intended
there to be line breaks. That is why when I post code, I always try to use
line continuation characters when it looks like a line may go beyond 70
characters.
Looking at the code you've posted, let's take this section as an example:
Response.Write "<option value=""" &
objRS.Fields("UniqueID").Value & """>"
In the newsgroup post, it is showing up on two lines. It should be a single
line. The problem is: I cannot tell whether the code in your asp page
actually looks like this (in which case an error will result), or if the
line break was inserted by your news reader, making it show up as two lines
in the post.
You will need to look at the code and learn to recognize where the
inadvertant line breaks were inserted. One clue is that a line should never
end with &. Another clue is the indenting. The beginning of the above line
is indented. The part where the line break was inserted is not indented.
This is a strong clue that the text was originally written as a single line.

Thankyou Tom I appreciate you taking the time to do this for me and your

It's probably very obvious what I'm doing wrong but I just don't know

I had been using:-

Your Data Source needs to point to the Full path and file, so either hard
code...c:\fpdb\kelvindb.mdb or use the Server.MapPath which does it for
you....Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\fpdb\kelvindb.mdb") & "; User

You need to supply the full physical path to the database. You can use
Server.MapPath. Like this:
'sConnectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4 .0;" & _
"Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\fpdb\kelvindb.mdb")
Response.Write sConnectionString
You do not need to supply the user id and password attributes with an Access
database, unless you are using workgroup security.

Is it an update or an insert? If so, then you are missing a required
parameter.
If you do an update(or an insert) you have to either a) provide a value for
all fields or b) specify the fields you are providing a value for
a) INSERT INTO Parts_Table Values ('MyPartType', 'MyPartName')
b) INSERT INTO Parts_Table(Part_Type, Part_Name)

I assume that the newsreader wrapped your connection string and the sql

Oh, I see it....There's a comma at the end of your sql statement - it

Yipppeeeeeeee!!!
It's alive.
Thankyou Tom this really is apreciated, now its up and running I'll gently
and slowly add to it and learn a lot more in the process (hopefully)
I'm sure you must have got fed up with my postings, thanks again.
If there is any graphics/art work you ever need just drop me a line, I'm
much better at graphics than code and I owe you one.
Oh thanks to Bob too!
I get a feeling I'll be back soon but hopefully not with another marathon.
And just before I go, the main error I had was an underscore in my UniqueID
field, can't believe I'm so blind as not to have spotted this much ealier.
Cheers
New it wouldn't be too long before I was back.
ID : Product_Type
At the moment it writes out the UniqueID and field type.
I'd like to add the box selection and the price but not having much sucess.
So I get
ID : Product_Type : Product_Name : Price
but using the code below I still only get the first two
=====================
Dim field
Dim Price
Dim Component_Name
for each field in Request.Form
Response.Write "<li>" & Request.Form(field) & ": " &_
field & Component_Name & Price &"</li>"
next
