asp if statement problem

[omar999]

can some one please shed some light on what is wrong with my code - im selecting 3 records and simply want to display the Flight_Route if the ID = 11. I believe the problem is IF objRSLGWMANGLAY VR("ID") = 11 THEN which I believe to be valid code but im not sure now

the following code should output MANCHESTER to VANCOUVER [as this is what is on the sql table] inside a red div but instead does nothing. no errors either.

<%
'CHECK FOR PRICES
DIM objLGWMANGLAYVR
Set objLGWMANGLAYVR = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objLGWMANGLAYVR.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=IPREMOVED;" & _
"Initial Catalog=Prices;User ID=IDREMOVED;Password=PASSREMOVED"
objLGWMANGLAYVR.Open

DIM LGWMANGLAYVR
LGWMANGLAYVR = "SELECT * FROM UK_Specials WHERE ID IN (7,11,15)"

DIM objRSLGWMANGLAYVR
Set objRSLGWMANGLAYVR = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRSLGWMANGLAYVR.Open LGWMANGLAYVR, objLGWMANGLAYVR

IF objRSLGWMANGLAYVR("ID") = 11 THEN

Response.Write "<div style=""background:red"">" & objRSLGWMANGLAYVR("Flight_Route") & "</div>"
	  	
End if

objRSLGWMANGLAYVR.Close
Set objRSLGWMANGLAYVR = Nothing
objLGWMANGLAYVR.Close
Set objLGWMANGLAYVR = Nothing
%>

can someone please shed some light?

I believe the problem is IF objRSLGWMANGLAY VR("ID") = 11 THEN which I believe to be valid code

Valid code yes but a common mistake when learning

IF objRSLGWMANGLAYVR("ID") == 11

hi code green - do you mind please explaining the difference between IF objRSLGWMANGLAY VR("ID") = 11 THEN and IF objRSLGWMANGLAY VR("ID") == 11 ??

I've tried IF objRSLGWMANGLAY VR("ID") == 11 and im getting a syntax error on the double equals mark...

[code green]

Apologies.
I didn't notice it was VB.
'==' is wrong.
I will have another look.

if obj("Id") = "11" then

try it, the script might be interpretting it as text.

if obj("Id") = "11" then

didnt work either... any other ideas?

[jhardman]

Loop thru the recordset and print everything - that's my standard troubleshooting procedure. Let me know if you need help with your code. Jared

[omar999]

hi again jared : )

ok I've looped

SQL = "SELECT * FROM UK_Specials WHERE ID IN (7,11,15)"

DIM objRS
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.Open SQL, objConn

Do while not objRS.Eof

For x=1 To 5
Response.Write objRS("ID") & " " & objRS("Flight_Route") & " £ " & objRS("Price_Band_" & x) & " "
Response.Write objRS("Month_Band_" & x) & " " & objRS("Date_Band_" & x)
Next

Response.Write "<br />"

'move to the next record in the recordset
objRS.movenext

Loop

above code works fine and this is what is prints out

7 GATWICK to VANCOUVER £  Nov NO FLIGHT7 GATWICK to VANCOUVER £ 299 Dec 97 GATWICK to VANCOUVER £ 299 Jan 13, 20, 277 GATWICK to VANCOUVER £ 199 Feb 37 GATWICK to VANCOUVER £  Mar No Flights in Winter
11 MANCHESTER to VANCOUVER £  Nov NO FLIGHT11 MANCHESTER to VANCOUVER £ 369 Dec 2011 MANCHESTER to VANCOUVER £ 339 Jan 111 MANCHESTER to VANCOUVER £  Feb NO FLIGHT11 MANCHESTER to VANCOUVER £  Mar No Flights in Winter
15 GLASGOW to VANCOUVER £  Nov No Flights in Winter15 GLASGOW to VANCOUVER £  Dec No Flights in Winter15 GLASGOW to VANCOUVER £  Jan No Flights in Winter15 GLASGOW to VANCOUVER £  Feb No Flights in Winter15 GLASGOW to VANCOUVER £  Mar No Flights in Winter

i mainly want to know why if obj("Id") = "11" doesnt do anything..

thanks in advance
Omar.

Next try printing out the data type

for each x in objRS
   Response.write x.name & ": "& x.value & " (" & x.type & ")<br" &vbnewline
Next

[omar999]

im not sure where im going wrong but I've tried your suggestion but im receiving an error

Do while not objRS.Eof
 
for each x in objRS
   Response.write x.name & ": "& x.value & " (" & x.type & ")<br />" 
Next
 
'move to the next record in the recordset
objRS.movenext
 
Loop

error
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method
/test.asp, line 18

please advise
Omar.

[jhardman]

probably the x.value is bad. Try objRS(x) or objRS(x.name) instead.
