asked on
drop down list in ASP with DSN-less connection
Hello ASP Experts,
I am trying to create an asp page where users can submit the type of access they are requesting. I am having problems with the access type field cause I need to reach out to a mdb database to populate the drop down. I did some research and tried it myself but the page does not load. My asp page is pasted below and NEED SOME HELP! Thanks and it has to be dsn-less. If you could modify my code or explain how you did it and where my errors are that would be great! Thanks
Samir

SamirKumar,
Have you tried the comment that I have posted... I dont here any acknowledge from you... what is the result?
BTW it is better to write it this way... It is much easier to understand... and avoid confusion as well...
<Option value="<%=rstLogin("access
Try this link regarding the DSN Less connection

yeah, the connection string is DSNless as well
SamirKumar,
There is no problem with your connection as I have pointed out.
I think how you write the variable coming from the database on the option tag that causes the error that causes tha error...
Response.Write "<Option value='" & rstLogin("accesslevel") & "'>" & _
rstLogin("accesslevel") & "</option">
especially the end tag
"</option">
should be
"</option>"
Writing this way is to confusing...
I replace it with this
<Option value="<%=rstLogin("access
Please give some feedback...
HTH...
HAppy programming...
