Trying to display a message if there is nothing available

[J. Muenchbourg]

I've created a page where users can view a free sports pick for the day;
but if there is no free pick yet for that day, I want to display a
"Check Back later today " message with the following:

<%
dim sqlstr
sqlstr = "SELECT fpick FROM tblArticles where handid = '40' and
ArticleDate = '" & date() & "'"

Set rsor = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsor.Open sqlstr,sqlc,3
%>
<h4><% if rsor("fpick") <> "" then
response.write rsor("fpick")
elseif rsor("fpick") = "" then
response.write "Check back later today<br>"
end if %>

This produces an "Exception Occured" error if there is no free pick

Are you sure that's where the error is occurring? If so:

Replace "elseif" with just a plain "else"

Use EOF to determine if the recordset is empty:

<% if NOT rsor.EOF then
response.write rsor("fpick")
else
response.write "Check back later today<br>"
end if %>

Set rsor = sqlc.Execute(sqlstr)
Response.write "<h4>"
if rsor.EOF then
Response.write "Check back later today"

Response.write rsor.Fields("fpick")

Response.write "</h4>"
