Asked by: cakirfatih

Hi guys,
my question subject my sound wierd, so as may question may sound:)

i have a from that has 8 texboxes , each has different names.
i want to assign all of these textboxes to one filed in my database, so any filled field will be recorded to my database..

Do you already know how to write ONE value to the database?  Or do you need help with that too?

If you can write one value to the database, you just need to repeat the process up to 8 times.  Say your text fields are called "Text1" through "Text8".  Then you want to do this:

  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text1")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text2")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text3")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text4")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text5")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text6")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text7")
  AddToDatabase Request.Form("SID"), Request.Form("Text8")

Now, you just need the function to add the values to the database.  How far along are you with that?

Hope That Helps,
Dex*

Antother method could be to use the following code.

<%
DataToAdd = Request.form("SID1")&Request.form("SID2")&Request.form("SID3")&Request.form("SID4")&Request.form("SID5")&Request.form("SID6")&Request.form("SID7")&Request.form("SID8")

'Open your database connection here with something like conn = "Connection Strings"
SQL = "Insert into Table (FieldtoInsertInto) Values ('"&DataToAdd&"')"

'Execute your database connection here with something like conn.execute(sql)
%>

Hope this helps

below is the code i wrote in my asp page

strsql2 = "SELECT * FROM [Courses] WHERE 0 = 1"
            set rsCourses = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
            rsCourses.Open strsql2, connGEST, 1, 2
            rsCourses.AddNew

rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course1
rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade1
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course2
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade2
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course3
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade3
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course4
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade4
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course5
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade5
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course6
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade6
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course7
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade7
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course8
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade8

rsCourses.update


this code only inserts one of the course name and grade  to the database table

should i say rsCourses.update after each
'rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course8
'rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade8

thanks

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course1
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade1
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course2
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade2
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course3
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade3
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course4
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade4
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course5
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade5
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course6
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade6
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course7
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade7
rsCourses.update

rsCourses.AddNew
     rsCourses("StudentID") = x_StudentID
     rsCourses("CourseName") = x_Course8
     rsCourses("Grade") = x_Grade8
rsCourses.update
