Search function not working

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello again,

I got this code from samples section of asp101 but for some reason, it doesn't work.
When you run it, it tells you how many records found, how many pages but doesn't display the result.
However, when you go here: http://www.asp101.com/samples/db_paged_search.asp, you see that the code actually works.
Can someone please help me resolve this.
Thanks in advance and here is the code.

VB:

' Constants ripped from adovbs.inc:
Const adOpenStatic = 3
Const adLockReadOnly = 1
Const adCmdText = &H0001

' Our own constants:
Const PAGE_SIZE = 5  ' The size of our pages.

' Declare our variables... always good practice!
Dim strURL     ' The URL of this page so the form will work
               ' no matter what this file is named.

Dim cnnSearch  ' ADO connection
Dim rstSearch  ' ADO recordset
Dim strDBPath  ' path to our Access database (*.mdb) file

Dim strSQL     ' The SQL Query we build on the fly
Dim strSearch  ' The text being looked for

Dim iPageCurrent ' The page we're currently on
Dim iPageCount   ' Number of pages of records
Dim iRecordCount ' Count of the records returned
Dim I            ' Standard looping variable

' Retreive the URL of this page from Server Variables
strURL = Request.ServerVariables("URL")

' Retreive the term being searched for.  I'm doing it on
' the QS since that allows people to bookmark results.
' You could just as easily have used the form collection.
strSearch = Request.QueryString("search")
strSearch = Replace(strSearch, "'", "''")

' Retrieve page to show or default to the first
If Request.QueryString("page") = "" Then
    iPageCurrent = 1
Else
    iPageCurrent = CInt(Request.QueryString("page"))
End If

' has searched for something.  If they have we hit the DB.

search Like 'a' or 'e' for an example that actually pages!]
