ADODB error from JS

[Adrian]

Hi,
I have an ASP page on an intranet IIS server that posts data via a
System DSN to an Access DB, normally it works fine however sometimes it
returns 0 for success but no data is added to the DB!?

Dim conn
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "DSN=testmain"
sql="Insert Into testtable (Survey_1,Survey_2)
VALUES ("
sql=sql & "'" & Request.Form("Survey_1") & "',"
sql=sql & "'" & Request.Form("Survey_2") & "')"
on error resume next
conn.Execute sql,recaffected
if err<>0 then
Response.Write(" Survey NOT Added! ")
else
Response.Write("<h3>" & recaffected & " Survey Added </h3>")
end if
conn.close
Set conn = Nothing
%>
The above is cut down version as there are a lot of fields!

Anyone know why it would return 0 sometimes but not add the data?

thanks

Adrian

You're very much off-topic here. Your code is VBScript on ASP. Ask a VB
newsgroup, or an ASP newsgroup, or both.

You aren't testing to be sure the values are there.
Blanks count as values. And if it isn't filled in at all, it gets the
empty string. Are you sure it isn't inserting blanks/null?

Dim s1
s1 = Request.Form("Survey_1")
s1 = s1.Trim()
If s1.Len < 1 Then
Error
End If

Hi Kaeli
Thanks for your reply, good point, but alas not the case as no record is
added not even a blank one! in fact some of the fields are Drop downs so I
would and do get records with just the defaults. but the problem I have it
comes back 0 so no error is generated and the user thinks they have
completed the form OK!!!

thanks

Adrian
