Question

I am using Classic asp and SQL Server 2005.

This is code that works (Provided by another member of Stack Overflow):

 sqlStr = "USE "&databaseNameRecordSet.Fields.Item("name")&";SELECT permission_name FROM fn_my_permissions(null, 'database')"

This code checks what permissions I have on a given database – the problem being – if I dont have permission it throws an error and doesn’t continue to draw the rest of my page.

Anyone got any ideas on remedying this?

Many Thanks,
Joel

Since VBScript doesn’t support the On Error GoTo <label> handling you’ll have to use On Error Resume Next

hasPermission = CheckPermission()

Function CheckPermission()
    On Error Resume Next
    '--- here goes your database query

    If Err.Number = 0 Then
        CheckPermission = True
    Else
        CheckPermission = False
    End If
End Function

If you are using JScript you’d have try/catch available.
