Make sure you have given read\write access to the db folder
within IIS
or Personal web server ( or ask your isp to do this)
If you dont have this enabled then you will get errors such
as
error 500 or 'operation must use an updateable
query.....'
You may experience warning's
warning codes
wrng:1 - front end wont work administration wont work - asp
files not created
-usual cause no primary key defined in that table.
solution - make sure you have a primary key - recommended
to create a field as an autonumber and use that field as your
primary key.
wrng:2 - front end will work - administration may not work
expect java script errors and
errors on insert and update. - usual cause - badly named fields
doesnt support OLE Object fields (blob field - commonly used
for storing pictures or files)
doesnt support joined keys
doesnt work on password protected databases
javascript validation
In the administration section you will notice that little
red stars denote fields that are required.
A field is deemed required if it's property is set to 'required'
in the database table.
OR if the property 'allow zero length' is set to NO.
date validation
although date fields are detected during the generate asp
routine - java script validation of dates is not included.
this is due in main to regional variations and differing formats
being so wide as it was deemed wisest to allow
the individual developer to do validation for this.
numeric values
these are defaulted to 0 if nothing is added and they are
not 'required'
this prevents an error.
asp links
aspmessageboard
an invaluable resource for solving problems.
vbscript reference
