Question

I’m writing an old asp page to insert Session variables into a database to transfer them to an ASP.NET application. So I’m looping through them and using a stored procedure to insert them into the db. One them has a null string as a value and when inserting those it fails with :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error ‘800a000d’

Type mismatch

I have Wrote them out to the page in the form as key=value=vartype and the vartype is indeed 8, a string. Its the GoBack line that fails:

User_id=2029=8
GoBack==8
ID_Reps=12345726=8

Here is the call:

.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@SessionValue", adVarChar, adParamInput, 4000, Session(objItem))

I would rather not convert it to an empty string when inserting. Is there a way around this?

Answer 1

I just ended up making the parameter optional with a null default and bypassing adding it if the value was null.
