Hi
I have the following sql statement which uses a form drop down list in the Where Statement.
However, I get an error saying
Object doesn't support this property or method.

Recordset2.Source = "SELECT BusName FROM BusinessInfo WHERE City = '"+ Request.form1("select") +"'";

Here is the form from which I am requesting a value in the above where statement(the form is working, I just put it for its name and the name of select list.

<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<select name="select" >
<%
while (!Recordset1.EOF) {
%>
<option value="<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item ("City").Value)%>">
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("City").Value)%></option>
<%
Recordset1.MoveNext();
}
if (Recordset1.CursorType > 0) {
if (!Recordset1.BOF) Recordset1.MoveFirst();
} else {
Recordset1.Requery();
}
%>
</select>

PLease help :)
Thanks



 
Recordset2.Source = "SELECT BusName FROM BusinessInfo WHERE City = '"+ Request.form1("select") +"'";

"CITY" is not is your query - Only "BusName"

Code:
Recordset2.Source = "SELECT BusName, [highlight]city[/highlight] FROM BusinessInfo WHERE City = '"+ Request.form1("select") +"'";

I have another connection for the city
I just didn't want to write the whole code
my problem is within the request
Thanks again
 
If this line is throwing the error
[blue]Recordset2.Source = "SELECT BusName FROM BusinessInfo WHERE City = '"+ Request.form1("select") +"'";[/blue]

Then I think that maybe you haven't created recordset2 correctly - can you show the code where you create it?
ie - [red]set recordset2 = server.createObject("adodb.recordset")[/red]

what do you get if you place this before the query

<code>Response.write request.form1("select")
response.end
</code>
 
let me try that again... new to making my posts pretty.

Code:
Response.write request.form1("select")
response.end
 
Here is my connection:
var Recordset1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_VooplaV1_STRING;
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT * FROM CityLookup";
Recordset1.CursorType = 0;
Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2;
Recordset1.LockType = 1;
Recordset1.Open();
var Recordset1_numRows = 0;
I think this is fine cause I can try everything without
the above where statement.
I tried putting
Response.write request.form1("select")
response.end
in from of where clause but it still gives me error.
Thanks alot for your help though
 
oh here is the connection for recordset2:
<%
var Recordset2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
Recordset2.ActiveConnection = MM_VooplaV1_STRING;
//selecteditem = M();

Recordset2.Source = "SELECT BusName FROM BusinessInfo WHERE City = '"+ Response.write request.form1("select")
response.end +"'";
Recordset2.CursorType = 0;
Recordset2.CursorLocation = 2;
Recordset2.LockType = 1;
Recordset2.Open();
var Recordset2_numRows = 0;
%>
 
I meant putting the response.write stuff before you try to open any recordset. Are you indeed passing "select" from your previous form and requesting it successfully?
Code:
Response.write request.form1("select")
response.end

var Recordset1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset");
Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_VooplaV1_STRING;
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT * FROM CityLookup";
Recordset1.CursorType = 0;
Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2;
Recordset1.LockType = 1;
Recordset1.Open();
var Recordset1_numRows = 0;

what should happen is you should see the value of "select" and nothing else as the script will stop before the rest.
 
I believe it should be Request.Form("select") since form1 is the name of the form, not an property within the Request object.
