    Posted: 26 March 2003 at 2:13am

hi, i'm new on ASP. I'm using connection string to connect my database from a web server. I can attract the data I want from the database, but I can't write data or edit the database.

Any idea why?  below is the delete coding.

 

Set conn = server.createobject("adodb.connection")conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open(Server.Mappath("Mydata.mdb"))
SQL = "Delete * From " & which & " Where ID =" & uid
conn.Execute(SQL)
Conn.Close

Invalid SQL Syntax, kill the asteriks. You don't need to specify fieldnames as you always delete the whole record so it would be something like
DELETE FROM tablename where Field = value
