Re: repeat region and formatting

It'll typically mean the value in the recordset is not numeric

Thanks for your reply ...


The field is numeric in the database. Its is called "USA2000Combo".

A dynamic table using the Recordset 1 and a repeat region shows this field
correctly formated

A dynamic table using Recordset 2 and a repeat region generates the error ONLY
if I format it as a Number - Rounded to Integer.

The problem may be with the SQL or query for the 2nd recordset.

I have two queries on my testing page using the same database field. The first
query is simple to test. The second is more complex.

Recordset 1
<%
Dim Recordset1
Dim Recordset1_numRows

Set Recordset1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Recordset1.ActiveConnection = MM_conn_CensusDatabase_STRING
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT USA2000ComboStateID, USA2000ComboPopID,
USA2000Combo FROM TblUSPopCombo2000 WHERE USA2000ComboStateID ='06' AND
USA2000ComboPopID='012' AND USA2000ComboSUMLEVEL='050'"
Recordset1.CursorType = 0
Recordset1.CursorLocation = 2
Recordset1.LockType = 1
Recordset1.Open()

Recordset1_numRows = 0
%>


<%
Dim Recordset2
Dim Recordset2_numRows

Set Recordset2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Recordset2.ActiveConnection = MM_conn_CensusDatabase_STRING
Recordset2.Source = "SELECT TblPopGroups.Population, TblStates.StateName,
TblUSPop1990.USA1990, TblUSPopCombo2000.USA2000Combo,
TblUSPopAlone2000.USA2000Alone, IIf(([USA1990]=0) Or

Recordset2.CursorType = 0
Recordset2.CursorLocation = 2
Recordset2.LockType = 1
Recordset2.Open()

Recordset2_numRows = 0

The First Table -- NO PROBLEM

The Second Table -- Error on the said field if I format it as above, otherwise
OK

When you look at the unformatted table, are any of the values null? This
counts as non-numeric.

Jules:

Yes there are some blank values in this field on certain records ... if this
is the problem ... how can I trap for these if DW is not ? Why is there no
error on an UNFORMATTED table which just shows a blank field?



Thanks
