retrieve from db then write to text file

basically i am trying to create a program wherein after saving a new transaction to the sql database, the fields saved will be retrieved and then written to a text file.

i read a thread here which is similar to what i am trying to do but it was in xml format..

hope someone anwers me...i really need help!

thanks!

I'm not sure what the difference is between the thread you mentioned and what you want to do. I would expect that the challenging thing is to retrieve the fields that were just saved. Once you have the information, changing it to the appropriate format is potentially tedious, but not difficult.

Do you have a reference to the thread?

Retrieve Bit type value

I am trying to populate some controls on a web page with values retrieved from a sql server database recordset. The text type controls work fine. However I have a Check Box on my form. I get a runtime error when I try to write into it. So tried wrting the value into a text control and was suprised to see the value retrieved was "S00817". Heres the relevant line of code

Message.Innerhtml=MyDataset.tables(0).Rows(0)(12)

I would expect this to come up with a 1 or a 0. I get S00817 if the database record holds a 1 or a 0. So what is going on here?You're not selecting what you think you're selecting. You will get a 1 or 0 back, not S00817. Do any of the fields in the record have that value? If you miss a comma in your field list, you can get goofy-looking, unexpected data. Also, when the bit comes back, you can feed it right into boolean properties. You don't have to change 1 into true, for example. Pretty handy. I'd run your SQL statement in Query Analyzer, some where outside of ASP. Actually, ADO might convert the 1 to -1. Might want to check that also. Check your query; something's up there I would suspect.|||Yes you were quite right. I was trying to read data from another field. I should have using Mydataset.tables(0).Rows(0)(13)

Thank you for your help
