mate, youre going to kill me when i tell you what the problem was!

 

I had an invalid unique ID within the peoples table that wasnt set correctly. When I carried out the upgrade from access to sql server ALL of my ID's within each table that should have been unique identifier werent.

 

I had to go through manually and reset them.

I then use it later do to the following - however this fails as I have no value for user_id

 

'ADD TO THE PEOPLES TABLE

 

Set objRS  = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
strSQL = "SELECT * From people;"
objRS.MaxRecords = 1 
objRS.CursorType = 2
objRS.LockType = 3
objRS.Open strSQL, adoCon
objRS.AddNew
objRS.Fields("userID") = user_id
objRS.Fields("firstname") = strFirstname
objRS.Fields("lastname") = strLastname
objRS.Update
objRS.Close
Set objRS = Nothing

set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If Not objFSO.FolderExists(Server.MapPath(strPath) & "/" & user_id) then
objFSO.CreateFolder Server.MapPath(strPath) & "/" & user_id
end if
Set objFSO = nothing





-----------

try the above, can you past the above query thats not shown (the one above that segmaent of code)

so i can make sure it will get the last record in the database

the parts in read will update the author table setting the author_IDvalue, then it requerys the table (not sure on the query so cant tellyet), and ive set it to move to lthe last/latest record where it thengets the author_ID value

 

Thank you.

John

See everyone tomorrow with hopefully some answers!

 

Author_ID = ????

Im trying to catch the actual unique ID of the entry taking place when a user registers on my site, then populate a second table with that value.

 

As in Author_ID = 75 > then ad 75 within the 'peoples' table as UserID.

 

Now Ive been using this bit of code and I thought It was working ok, however I have recently discovered since upgrading to sql server 8.0 that my value of user_id is null.

 

Could someone help me out with this? I desperately need to catch the unique ID of the entry taking place!
