HELP: Need help with FP2003, MS Access, ASP and text boxes

[John]

Hi all
I've already asked this question, and many thanks to all the helpers,
but the solutions don't work so I shall rephrase the question....

How can I display a fields value from a recordset within a text box
with ASP.
I have tried every possible combination of "quotes", and when I do
manage to get something displayed, the value displayed is cut short
after the first word, although the info IS in the database.

Please help, I'm desperate.

TIA

Are you writing your code by hand or with FP database components?

If by hand, you would/should be doing something like the following:

<%
Member = Request.Form("MemberID")

Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
SQL = "SELECT * FROM Members WHERE MemberID = '" & Member & "' "
objRS.Open SQL, DSN_Name
%>

Then in the form...

<form method="POST" action="memberupdate.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="Update">
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="30%">First Name</td>
<td width="70%">
<input type="text" size="23" name="FirstName" value="<%=objRS("FirstName")%>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="30%">Last Name</td>
<td width="70%">
<input type="text" size="23" name="LastName" value="<%=objRS("LastName")%>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2" valign="middle" align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Update" name="btnSubmit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Are there quotes within the text being displayed?

If so, you will need to encode the text....

value="<%=Server.HTMLEncode(rs("field_name"))%>"
