I am doing it this way...is there a better(faster) way of doing it?

strSchoolDate=Request.Form("school_date")

strSchoolDate=Trim(strSchoolDate)

...for each line.

Wow, this script is getting long with all those Trim() statements!

Anyway...I'm now getting a different error:

Error 500: Internal Server Error

so....

Set MyParam = SERVER.CREATEOBJECT ("ADODB.Parameter")

MyParam.Name = "@SRcomments"

MyParam.Value=NullFunction(strSpecComments)

MyParam.Size = 150

MyParam.Direction = adParamInput

MyParam.Type = adVarChar

and the function would be like what you have above?

Function SetVars(SRvalue)

if SRvalue = "" Then

MyParam.Value = null

else

MyParam.Value = SRvalue

end...

I don't see how I can insert a null with the code you provided...I don't see how it would fit into the structure/flow of the code.

How can I account for nulls with a script like this?

Can I use trim() to trim the stuff from request.form?

Thanks Remi,  I will try that.

BTW, does the code look right?  At least from glancing at it?

Hi guys!  It's me again....stop cringing!

I completed the script...but it's still giving me a "page cannot be displayed" error.   I've checked all the...

Hi Remi....

I spent the weekend trying to get the big insert asp page to work, but it keeps giving me a 'page cannot be displayed' error when I hit 'submit'...

Sushila,  thanks, that is what I meant.  I do copy & paste all time!

Remi,

No complaining, just trying to understand.  I've been looking on MSDN, and other sites, but I can't find a explanation on how to pass a bunch of parameters like what...

Can't I just pass it like you would a function?

Like

 MyCmd.CreateParameter(SRrequestDate,  SRschoolNameFirst,  SRschoolNameLast,  SRschoolCompany,  SRschoolBranch,  SRschoolAddress1,  SRschoolAddress2,  SRschoolCity,  SRschoolState,  SRschoolZip,  SRschoolPhone,  SRschoolFax,  SRschoolEmail,  SRschoolRegion,  SRschoolSupervisor,  SRschoolclaimType,  SRschoolDateOfLoss,  SRschoolInsured,  SRschoolClaimNumber,  SRschoolPackaging,  SRschoolContactPrefs, ...

If I can write this out just once, then why did Remi write it out for each and every variable?  There must be a method to his madess

Remi,

How come I just can't do this once? 

<%

Dim MyCn

Set MyCn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Set MyCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")

MyCn.Open = "DSN=OSUNet;UID=xxxx;PWD=xxxxxxxx"

Set MyCMd.ActivateConnection = MyCn

MyCmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc

MyCmd.CommandText = "dbo.sp_biginsert"

MyCmd.Execute

%>

Remi,

wait now I'm confused.   What would take me days to rewrite??

Thanks,

M

Ok, all those lines now look like this:

Set MyParam = SERVER.CREATEOBJECT ("ADODB.Command")

MyParam.Name = "@SRschoolNameFirst"

MyParam.Value = SRschoolNameFirst

MyParam.Size = 150

MyParam.Direction = adParamInput

MyParam.Type = adVarChar
