Connecting to database here at Winhost: Dim conn conn = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=s01.Winhost.com;" _ & "Initial Catalog=Databasename;" _ & "User Id=Userid;Password=password;" _ & "Connect Timeout=15;" _ & "Network Library=dbmssocn;" Then, when I want to access a database table, I do something like this: myWork.Open qryWork, conn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText At work, where I use SQL Server 2005 and have a dedicated DBA, I don't have to use the Network Library=dbmssocn; section. At work, when I use a Stored procedure, I just use: Set cmdStoredproc = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command") Set cmdStoredproc.ActiveConnection = conn cmdStoredproc.CommandText = "Wordwheel" cmdStoredproc.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc cmdStoredproc.CommandTimeout = 60 cmdStoredproc.Parameters.Refresh When I do this at Winhost, I get the following: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required: 'ActiveConnection'Can someone tell me what I need to do to be able to execute this Stored Procedure? Thanks in advance, Mike
Removing Sockets oesn't work This didn't work any better. It is the same problem. It made no difference. When I first tried to connect to my database when I first got Winhost in December, I wasn't able to connect over the web. I emailed support@Winhost and they sent me that connection string. I can now access my database. Their solution added that Network Library string. So it has to be something else. I can connect using SQL Server Management Studio and run the SP, so I know that the problem is not there. Any other thoughts? Anyone?
If you go to this URL: http://www.donobug.com/$webapp/srch_phr.aspAnd type something into the Author box, you'll get the error. I have tried with and without the "Network Library=dbmssocn;" Line you suggested I remove. Is there anyone out there executing SQL Server Stored Procedures using VBScript? Mike Donovan
Your website is a PHP application. I do not think we have the SQL Native drivers for PHP installed on the server.
PHP application? Since when? It is pure and simple Active Server Pages (asp). I wrote the whole application in VBScript. I do this for a living developing web applications which access SQL Server databases.
Sorry, I must have pulled up another site. Did you declare the ADO connection correctly? Did you set.. cmdStoredproc Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") I quickly tested your account, by uploading an asp test script called Winhosttest.asp in your root. It connected to the database just fine with out any errors. http://donobug.com/Winhosttest.asp
My first post gave all the things I did. And yes, I did declare the and open the ADO connection. Please look at the first post. Someone from Winhost gave me a script before but he called it testdbWinhost.asp. But that was in December last year.
Have you checked your code? Look at the line of the error it is telling you.. Object required: '' /$webapp/wordwheel.asp, line 48 Have you checked this line? If you checked this line it will point to.. ConnSp.Open ConnSPstr Did you check how you decalred it? On your code you have... Dim connSPstr Try making sure you have a line typed Set connSPstr = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") The best thing to do is set up a simple ASP script as a test for you. Troubleshooting the connection string on your web application can be daunting and confusing and it is better to test from a smaller piece of code then doing it from a larger pieice of cod. Look at this kb article again. Copy and paste it exactly as it is only modifying the values on the connection string and the query it performs. From there once it works, study the steps it is taking to connect to the SQL server and then you can apply that to your application to help fix it and get it to start working.
The error that you pointed out is the result of my trying to get something to work since I have gotten no help from anyone. I put the code back to the way it was originally. It now gets the original error. Object Required: 'ActiveConnection'. It is obvious that you have looked at my code. You don't need to ask me if I did a: Set connSPstr = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") You can see that I did. What kb article are you referring to? I don't seem to see any reference to any kb articles in any of the posts.
Try using this kb article to help make the test script for you. You simply need to replace the variable on the connection string such as server name, database name, etc... http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a688/how-to-query-sql-database-with-asp-using-dsn-less-connection.aspx
YOU just don't seem to understand. I can query the database. I just cannot execute a Stored Procedure....
So this is no longer the error message you are getting? Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required: 'ActiveConnection' This error message is specific to a database connection. Do you have a new error message? Have you tried running the stored procedure on your SSMS to see if it will run?
problem solved For those who are interested in actually calling a Stored Procedure, the code below actually works. Am I the only one doing any SQL Server database programming on Winhost? This code is almost identical to the code I originally posted. The only problem might have been on the line in Red below. I had to remove the set part of the statement Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Open ConnSPstr Set cmdStoredproc = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command") cmdStoredproc.ActiveConnection = connSPstr cmdStoredproc.CommandText = "Wordwheel" cmdStoredproc.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc cmdStoredproc.CommandTimeout = 60 cmdStoredproc.Parameters.Refresh
