How to use ASP variables in SQL statement

Question

<%
postit = request.querystring(\"thispost\")
response.write(postit)
%> 

postit is the v

Answer 1

You're not passing the value of postit to Access; instead, you're telling Access to find & use a variable called postit. Of course, said variable doesn't exist in Access -- it only exists in your code. The fix is just a couple of quote marks and a pair of ampersands.

delCmd.CommandText="DELETE * FROM post WHERE (pos_ID = " & postit & " )"

(Naturally, you should validate postit before you go sending it off to your database. A simple CDbl() can do the trick, assuming it's a numeric value.)
