When I pass an ID I get a blank message box and title box.  I want to populate the boxes with already existing data from the database.  At this point, I do not really want to add new records.  That will come later.  I am only interested in the editing aspect of already existing data records.

 

The two fields I am trying to pass and edit are called "headline" and "copy".  They come from table "tblPageTexts".  Also I have changed the connection string to use a hardlined database location instead of using a mappath...although this is functional because I have been able to add blank records.

 

Lastly, I believe the problem is in the two variable which are written into the CuteEditor script: TitleField and MessageField.  Can I change these to match my database?  Where are they declared?  Thanks and please excuse my ignorance...

 

Code is as follows:--------------------------------

 

<%
  
          dim conn
          dim connstr
          Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
          connstr="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=W:\Inetpub\dbroot\nls\nlsdata.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=pass;"
          conn.Open connstr
          
          dim content
          
          if request("action")="save" then     <-----Can I remove this section if I am only looking to edit the code and not add new code
           TitleField  = Request.Form("Headline")
           MessageField = Request.Form("Copy")      
           
           sql="select Headline,Copy from tblPageTexts where ID =" & request.QueryString("ID")
           set rs=server.createobject("adodb.recordset")
           rs.open sql,conn,3,3
           
           rs.addnew
           rs("Headline") = TitleField
           rs("Copy") = MessageField
           rs.update
           
           response.write "<font size=5 color=darkred>Message added</font>"
           response.write "<br>"
           rs.close
           set rs = nothing
          else
           MySQL="select top 1 * from tblPageTexts order by id DESC"
           set rs2=conn.execute(MySQL)
           if not rs2.eof then
            TitleField  = rs2("Headline")
            MessageField  = rs2("Copy")
            rs2.close
            set rs2=nothing
           end if
          end if 
         %>

 

 

Thanks a lot.

Shan,

 

TitleField and MessageField are two variables to hold the data. You can change as you wish.
