Question

I have a do a project for school with classic asp which I ave never used before.

I keep getting this syntax error:

Expected end of statement
set Y=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection");
---------------------------------------------^

The asp code i’m trying to execute is:

<%
set Y=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
X = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ= " & Server.MapPath(".\account.mdb")Y.open X

user=request.Form("username")
set useraccount=Y.Execute("select * from logintable where username='" & user & "'")

if useraccount.eof then
    Response.Redirect("41697hw1noaccount.htm");
else if useraccount.fields[0].passwd == request.Form("pwd") then
    Response.Redirect("41697hw1wrongpasswd.htm")
else
    Response.Write("<h1>Welcome, " & useraccount.fields[0].fullname & "</h1>")
end if

%>

Thanks so much for your help!

Answer 1

I am not familiar with VBScript, but I think you should not put a ‘;’ at the end of your statement. I think removing the semi-colon will help.
