http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/ASP/Q_21918804.html
i thought i tested it but apparently something fell through the cracks!
i'm not able to update an existing record - so if i have a record who's ContentID is 65 and i try to update the filename in in the db when i do my upload to the server, taint happening- if there's no filename the filename doesn't get added to the existing record - here's my code:

Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persi
' Capture files

' Obtain file object
Set File = Upload.Files("THEFILE")
For Each File in Upload.Files
datapath="E:\inetpub\wwwro
strConn="Provider=Microsof
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
objConn.Open strConn
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
Dim rsContentID__MMColParam
rsContentID__MMColParam = "ContentID"
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Content WHERE ContentID = " + Replace(rsContentID__MMCol
rs.Open SQL,objConn,1,2
if rs.eof then
rs.AddNew
end if
rs("filename") = File.ExtractFileName
rs.Update
rs.Close
set rs = nothing
objConn.Close
set objConn = nothing
Response.Write "Your PDF has been successfully uploadedd. <a href='index.asp'>Click here</a> to return to the admin."
Next

>>if there's no filename the filename doesn't get added to the existing record
What's this mean? No filename? Why would you have that?
Also, may want to check your database to see if records are being added...because will do that is EOF.

just rolled out of bed so i'm a tad less articulate than usual
records are being added to the db - i checked. i'm updating existing db records by updating the 'filename' field. basically, my client wants to upload pdfs and add links to those pdfs on the site- one per record. the pdf filenames are being added to records that have other fields, title, article, date, etc.

OK, so please explain the problem again...as it relates to this code.
Also, always be sure to response.write your variables and SQL...so you know what's actually going on. Sometimes we assume the code is performing as expected, but the code is not what we expect at all.

ok -
i'm passing along the form variable "ContenID"
i need the code to do this:
update 'filename' in db where db.ContentID=formparampass
i'm passing along the form variable "ContenID"
i need the code to do this:
update 'filename' in db where db.ContentID=formparampass
ugh still struggling with this - how would i use response.write to display the form variable i'm trying to pass?
something like this?
Response.Write (rsContentID__MMColParam)
something like this?
Response.Write (rsContentID__MMColParam)
ust did this
Response.Write rsContentID__MMColParam
and this is what i got so i'm guessing the form variable isn't being passed or it is but my code thinks the variable is "ContentID":
"Your PDF has been successfully uploadedd. Click here to return to the admin.ContentID"
Response.Write rsContentID__MMColParam
and this is what i got so i'm guessing the form variable isn't being passed or it is but my code thinks the variable is "ContentID":
"Your PDF has been successfully uploadedd. Click here to return to the admin.ContentID"
Stop using the stupid DW variables all together....they are annoying.
contentid=request("content
if contentid ="" then
response.write "ContentID is empty"
else
response.write "Content ID: " & contentid
end if
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Content WHERE ContentID = " & contentid
rs.Open SQL,objConn,1,2
if rs.eof then
rs.AddNew
end if
rs("filename") = File.ExtractFileName
...etc...
contentid=request("content
if contentid ="" then
response.write "ContentID is empty"
else
response.write "Content ID: " & contentid
end if
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Content WHERE ContentID = " & contentid
rs.Open SQL,objConn,1,2
if rs.eof then
rs.AddNew
end if
rs("filename") = File.ExtractFileName
...etc...
thanks alorentz
using your code i'm getting the following error:

Now we are getting somewhere <grin>
Change:
contentid=request("content
to
contentid=Upload.Form("con
When uploading images in binary, you have to use the Upload component as the request object. otherwise you use the request object.

You can also see all that on the code sample page, that yuo've been too:
