| Matthew writes "I am creating a guest book service. I would like to know if a database exists if I use a code that retrives data from a querystring. So, If I type in for the site:http://www.mysite.com/guestbook.asp?ID=3My site will take ID and will see if, for the above example, table 3 exists. The name of the table is table 3. Now, if table three doesn't exists I will write on the screen using Response.Write telling the visitor of the webpage that the guest book does not exist. How can I do this?" |

You can just pass an error screen to the user based on the raiserror.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |
