| HELP!I have used cold fusion in the past to develop but m y group just went to ASP. Is there a statement in ASP that I can use to basically do the same function as cfif isdefined(url.field)I am wanting to define a value using ASP that will equal today's date until defined in a url. In other words: If url.begindate is defined then I want Begindate = url.begindate. If its not defined in the url I want Begindate = 8/1/2005 (the first day of the previous month)Any help would be greatly appreciated.Miranda Hoskins |

| Kind of odd that you would choose SQLTeam as the place to get advice on ASP ....if Request("field") returns "", then "field" is not defined. Otherwise, request("Field") returns the value that was passed. |

| "if Request("field") returns "", then "field" is not defined."Or is blank? I think you would need to actually loop around the Request collection to be sure it wasn't defined.PITA basically!Kristen |

| I asked my question here because it is the only forum that have found that actually has questions and answers regarding several different programs with SQL Server.Begindate will not be defined when the page is open. I am wanting to have it default to a the first day of the previous month. I have a form in my page that you can change the date. So I want Begindate to be what the date is changed to in my form.

| I guess it depends on your definition of "defined" ... (not THAT is confusing!) .. That is a good point. Most likely, you'll probably handlehttp://someurl?x=andhttp://someurlthe same when it comes to checking the value of "x" , but you may want to distinguish between the two. I never do -- I don't think it makes much sense to consider those two situations different but your needs may vary. |
