hi all, i' mtrying to delete some records using a form by checking the 'delete' box then click update. when i click on update,it's supposed to show me the same page,but without hte deleted records. but i've got a big problem.

show.asp is where i display all the data frm the database,including the 'delete' checbox. update.asp is where i do the deleting codes and then redirect it to show.asp.

i suppose somethign is wrong in the SQL statement? please check for me!! i'm LOST !! the error given is written right at the end of hte post. THANKS!!


here's my show.asp

<form method="post" action="update.asp">
do while not rs.eof

<input type="checkbox" value="<%rs=("WholeCakesCode")%>" name="Delete">

rs.movenext
loop

<input type="submit" value="update">
rs.close
conn.close
</form>


here's my update.asp - i've made some changes to it:

....... (connection codes)

For i=1 to Request.Form("delete")
if request.form("delete")(i) <> "" then
sql = "delete from wholecakes whre wholecakescode = " & request("Delete")(i)
rs.open sql, conn
end if

next

response.write(Sql)


what went wrong? it gave me the error now: Type Mismatch: [string: "<the code that i attempted to delete>"]

Looking at the error (referencing with Visual Basic) I think, you might have specified a different datatype in the database and passing a different datatype value in the query...
Its just that I am referring to Visual Basic kind of error...

I am not really sure about this error in ASP...
