I'm not really sure what's going on with my code here. It seems like I've done everything right (as far as DreamWeaver is concerned)....but I get a:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in UPDATE statement.

this is my code:

Do you have write/modify permissions enabled on the MDB file residing on the server? If not, or you're not sure, email support@hostmysite.com and request to have those permissions added to the folder where the Access DB resides.

Oh I just realized this said syntax error... try this... before you actually execute the command, try just doing a response.write of the query string and see if you can pinpoint where your problem is. You may want to look into using parameterized queries instead of a long concatinated string also... it'll make things ALOT easier.

Josh, thanks so much for your help on this one man, I really appreciate it. I'm not too too savvy on how to make that change though, I'm new to the whole .Asp game and just use Dreamweaver...I guess they're the one's to blame on this one! ha....

It weird, because I've tried doing the update on just 1 field, and it works beautifully, but it doesn't like it when there is more that 1 field that it needs to update. Would that be resolved with a response.write query string? Is there a good source where I can look to figure out how to do that? Also, could it be the way i setup my form?


Thanks so much, again,

-Jonathan

thanks os much..you guys rock.

apex use this...

Might my problem be that I don't have SQL support with my current plan? I've got .asp, but they told me it's just supported for access databases.

No... see, you use the T-SQL language to communicate with the Access database. How much do you know about what you're doing?

not much, just enought dreamweaver to usually get by, but this one's being tricky.

Okay... that's why all that MM created code is in there... I can think of easier ways to accomplish this, but I'm afraid that I'd probably confuse you as well... it's a tough spot. Your problem is more than likely caused by trying to insert data into the DB that "doesn't match up" with the field type used. Like trying to insert data into a DateTime field, but not first converting it to a string (for Access - not anything else).

Did you use that code I posted? What it should have done is returned a SQL Statement, like "UPDATE TableName SET FieldName=Value"... did it? Would you mind posting what was displayed?

THe REsponse.Write that Josh is talking about won't fix any problem - it's just going to output the actual databasse command that is giving you the error.

Once we see that command, I imagine the next thing we'll need will be the database schema to make sure that the SQL COmmand and the DB line up correctly, unless there is a blatent SQL command that's being made.

Usually DW is pretty good about doing this stuff - but occasionally it needs a bit of help especially if you are doing multiple things on one pae, it tends to step all over itself when it's auto generating the code.

I've found a temporary fix for this problem.


Add square brackets to the field names


Problem is that if you open the query again from the DW Application menu then it will reset it/remove the brackets.

I suppose you could add a custom function where DW splits the string to add the brackets back in.

Cheers,
Degs

or edit the query line to


Haven't tried this but you should also be able to permenantly alter it be editing the updateRecord_query.edml file in the \Configuration\ServerBehaviors\ASP_Vbs folder
