HELP!! Can''t post records to database!

  • Hello, I hope someone can help me with this problem I'm having. I can't seem to post multiple records to my SQL DB. Below is the error and the important parts of the code I'm using in my two pages. This is in ASP VBScript by the way. This has worked in the past so I'm at a loss as to why it's doesn't work now.

    Error Message:

  • Error Type:

    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E57)

    String or binary data would be truncated.

    /MySubmitPageExceptionsSQLServerB.asp, line 135

    Code of Posting Page

    <%

    'queue up to the top record of the recordset

         If Not rs_users.EOF Then rs_users.MoveFirst

        

    'make a temporary variable for user id because the less typing the better

    dim t_id, t_idDate

    'here I loop through all the records outputting a row for each one

         Do Until rs_users.EOF

         t_id = rs_users("ClientCode")

         t_idDate = Session("ChangeDate")

    %>

    Start of HTML. Here I'm getting the auto numeber of each record and attaching it using <%=t_id%>. I'll explain why in page 2

     <!-- Here is the id for this loop -->

                 <input type="hidden" name="ua_id" value="<%=t_id%>">

    <input type="Hidden" name="txtBoxNumber_<%=t_id%>" value="<%=rs_users("ClientBoxNumber")%>" size="9" maxlength="30">

    The error message suggests that you are trying to insert data into a column that isn't wide enough to take it.  For example, you may be trying to put a 100-character string into a column that is varchar(50).

  • The error simply means one of the values you are putting into the table is larger than the column definition.

    The pain with this is it doesn't tell you which column was violated. You need to compare length/size of values in to the lenght/size of acceptable values in your table.

  • Guys, thank you so much!!!! That is exactly what the problem was!! Thank you again!!
