The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

vbscript - Construct command to obtain data from a table field

Asked by donpick in VB Script, MS SQL DTS

Tags: , , ,

Running Small Business Server 2003 premium fully patched.  This server is running SQL Server 2000.  

I have a DTS routine which uses vbscript.  

I want to feed a field to a function and somehow construct a statement which will obtain the data from the desired field.

In the code listed below, the value customerID is obtained.  My SELECT statement will find several fields:

Dim StrSqlCmd
Dim strFieldName

StrSqlCmd = SELECT customerID, CompanyName, ContactName, Contact   _ &
                     FROM    dbo.Customers

strFieldName = customerID

I will pass the sql command and the field I want to a function.  In the example below, the field named customerID is hard coded.  I need an example to show me how I would construct a statement to return the data from a field passed as a parameter.

set iRowCount = Flds("customerID")  << this works fine

set iRowCount = Flds("strFieldName ")  << This FAILS.  How do I construct this so I can retrieve data from a field name in a variable?



============== Example =====================
dim myConn
dim myRecordset
dim iRowCount

' instantiate the ADO objects
set myConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
set myRecordset = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

' set the connection properties to point to the Northwind database,
' using the Customers table
myConn.Open = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Data Source=(local); _
   Initial Catalog=Northwind;user id = 'sa';password='sapassword'"

StrSqlCmd = SELECT customerID, CompanyName, ContactName, Contact   _ &
                     FROM    dbo.Customers

myRecordset.Open StrSqlCmd, myConn

set Flds = myRecordset.Fields
set iRowCount = Flds("customerID")
