Hi All,

I've made a ASP page that shows the contents of a table I have in my database. But for some reason the page will not show data from one column. I've checked everything I can think of, but no matter what I try it appears that the query is either just ignoring the column or losing the data somewhere.

Does anyone know know what might cause something like this to happen?

Thanks :)

What is the datatype of the column (is it unicode?).
Is it the last column (after a text dataatype maybe?).
Does it display a blank column or not display the column at all?

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Actually my page returns one "row" based on the ID of the Row, then displays the values in a table. This one value is always blank.

All columns are "varchar". Compared to the others this one is not "special" in any way I can see.

Thanks for helping! :D
Have a great day.

Here's more info, my noobsishness is now fully exposed :)

As far as I know these are the things that are needed to display the record I want to show:


1. Dim Value1, Value2, Value3

2. Value1= oRec("Value1")
Value2= oRec("Value2")
Value3= oRec("Value3")

3. <% response.write Value1 %>
<% response.write Value2 %>
<% response.write Value3 %>


That's all I should need right?

Thanks for your help guys :)

Yep, this is all you need...but you might get an error like this if the column name you're using is a reserved word in either sql or asp.

The column is called "Comments", which should be OK right?

Is there anything else that could cause a problem?

Thanks

Have you run the query you're using in the management studio? Does it show the correct results there? If so this is an asp-problem and not sql which we usually provide help for here. However, if you provide the actual asp code you're using we might be able to spot something.

->

SQL = "SELECT a, b, c FROM table WHERE a = " & myVariable
Response.Write(SQL)
Response.End
