problem displaying MEMO field from ACCESS 2000 on WINDOWS 20003

[euang]

Hi,

I have been using access 2000 for two years on WINDOWS NT to display dynamic
aweb page using ASP

My ISP has now changed to Windows 2003, and I am having major problems
displaying information from MEMO fields within the Access 2000 database. I
have not had any problems before displaying MEMO fields on NT and have tried
various tips to resolve this issue but no luck so far. I was wondering if
anyone had come accross a similar problem.

I have tried the following so far:

Specifying which columns to use in the SELECT statetment, and not using
SELECT *
Adding the memo field I want to display to the last column in the select
list
Adding the value to a variable before displaying it.

I have also tried using the getChunk method, but cannot get this to work,
the following error appears:

'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e21'

Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status
value, if available. No work was done. '

I think it is something to do with the Windows 2003 server set up but am at
a loss as to what it is. I do not have access toit. I have informed my ISP
and they are also looking into this issue. I've got ten websites to migrate
in ten days, all of which use the MEMO field to display information, so I am
getting a little bit worried :-(

Please can anyone help me?

Thank you in advance for any time you can spare me on this problem. I have
been working on this for three days now and feel I have come up against a
brick wall. I can supply test links if needed?

Show your code...

Please do not multipost Euan. This is definitely a database-related question
so .asp.db was the perfect group in which to post it. Posting it here as
well did not increase your chances of getting an answer (most of us
subscribe to both groups). On the contrary, if somebody had taken his time
to answer it here, only to find that it was already resolved in the other
group, that person may have been annoyed enough to ignore any future posts
from you, thereby decreasing your chances of getting help in the future.

There are times when you will not be sure which group is most appropriate,
and you will want to post a question to both groups. In that situation, you
should use the cross-posting technique, rather than posting the same message
multiple times. To crosspost, put a semicolon-delimited* list of the
newsgroups to which you wish to post in the To: header of your post and post
it once. It, and any replies to it, will appear in all the newsgroups in
your list. So, if I reply in .asp.db, my reply will also appear here in
..asp.general.

* ... or whatever delimiter is recognized by your news client

My apologies,

The only reason I multi posted is because I have been getting bounced from
one forum to another, starting with windows nt - 2003 server migration
forum, then from microsoft.access forums to here. I am just getting
frustrated that's all, I didn't intend to pxxx anyone off.

If anyone could find time to help me, despite my multi postings, I would
greatly appreciate it.

So what do I do with this apology? multi post it.....????

My code is attached below.

Set objRS =Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.Open "SELECT ID,News_Article2 FROM News ",ObjConn

Response.Write(objRS.Fields("News_Article2").attributes)

cchChunkRequested = 16
Do
sChunk = objRS.Fields("News_Article2").GetChunk(cchChunkRequested)
' Check how much we got
cchChunkReceived = Len(sChunk)
' If we got anything,
' concatenate it to the main BLOB
If cchChunkReceived > 0 Then
sNotes = sNotes & sChunk
End If

Loop While cchChunkReceived = cchChunkRequested
'Close the recordset
objRS.Close
response.write(sNotes)

TIA

Set objRS =Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

objRS.Open "SELECT ID,News_Article2 FROM News ",ObjConn

Set objRS = objConn.execute("SELECT ID, ...")

Response.Write(objRS.Fields("News_Article2").attributes)

I don't understand this. I don't believe the Fields collection has an
attributes property. Did you mean to obtain the column named "attributes"?
What exactly are you attempting to display? You can return the column's
value this way:

Response.Write(objRS("News_Article2"))

the collection itself doesn't, but the Field object does.

Response.Write(objRS("News_Article2"))

I'm assuming the above was an attempt to figure out why your suggested code
was not working.

Please follow up in .asp.db. We don't want two conversations going on. This
is a database-related question, so that should be the group to use.

Yes,

I was trying to find out what attributes the field object has,there's a
property called:

adFldLong ( a constant)

which if is set to true allows the getChunk method to be used. Iw as trying
to find out if this was set to true or not, but it seems it is a rather
wierd process of finding this out, convert the hex number (in this case it
is 230) to binary etc
http://dev.live-work-relax.co.uk/test.asp

I also generated a page of the connection properties

http://dev.live-work-relax.co.uk/test2.asp

I thought that the
Maximum Row Size Includes BLOB: False

might be the cause of the problem also, but am not sure.

I should be able to do this, it seems a very straightforward issue. Has
anyone else got an access2000 database running on a new windows 2003 server
and is able to display memo fields? (it is only text that is being stored in
these memo fields)

Thanks again
