VBScript runtime (0x800A000D) Type mismatch: 'Response.Cookies'
Sergo
Hello, I'm working on the membership based website (for my school), in
order for people to able to use the site they must first register,
recieve a username and password. I thought I was done, everything was
working, when I realized that my code allows multiple users with the
same username, so decided to add the followin piece of code to the part
that validates user's info:
''CHECK IF USERNAME ALREADY EXISTS
Dim usernameCheckRS
Set usernameCheckRS = Conn.Execute("SELECT id FROM ob_webuser" &_
"WHERE username = '" & username & "'")
If Not usernameCheckRS.EOF Then
error_flag = 1
err_msg = err_msg & "Username that you`ve seleceted is already" &_
" taken, please choose another username<BR>"
usernameCheckRS.close
End If
Here is how everything works:
register.asp, when button "SAVE" is clicked, calls for file
"validate_user_info.inc"(this is where I added the code from above), it
validates if user's info is valid, if it's not it shows an error message
and if it is, register.asp calls for file "save_user.inc" which saves
the user to the database, and then register.asp suposed to set the
cookie and redirect the user to main.asp.
Well befor I added the code from above, everything worked flawlesly, but
now after I added it, it works for validating whether the username
exists, and saves the new user to the database, BUT instead of setting
the cookie and redirecting to main.asp it shows the following error
message:
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A000D)
Type mismatch: 'Response.Cookies'
/EDP_Current/register.asp, line 84
the funy thing is, when I remove the code that validates if username
exists - everything works again.
Here a piece from register.asp that does what I described:
----------------------------------------------------------
<%
'' SAVE USER INFO
If Request("action") = "SAVE" Then
%>
<!-- #include file = "includes/validate_user_info.inc" -->
<%
'' no errors save user data
If error_flag = 0 Then
%>
<!-- #include file = "includes/save_user.inc" -->
<%
Response.Cookies("uid") = userId
Response.Redirect "main.asp"
End If
End If
%>

I'm running IIS 5.0 and MS SQL Server 7.0 on Win2000 Pro
Any insight and/or ideas would be greatly appretiated.
THANKS!!!!

Is it the Response.Cookies("uid")= userid?
What is the value of "userid"?
Put a response.write before setting the cookie and
let us know what the value of userid is. I suspect
that userid may be NULL

yes, that's the one

the value of userid is the numeric value from the @@IDENTITY field from
ob_webuser table (@@IDENTITY is automaticaly assigned to the user by SQL
Server when he/she is added to the db):
'' get new user id
set uidRS = Conn.execute("select @@IDENTITY 'id'")
If not uidRS.eof Then
userId = uidRS("id")
End If
this is the last piece of code in the save_user.inc and everything
before it works, user IS being added to the db, and I manualy checked in
SQL Server - @@IDENTITY IS assigned, but for some reason it can't select
it!

I'll try that, thanks.

ok, after some playing around I confirmed, that yes, userId is NULL, to
be precice, this part:
'' get new user id
set uidRS = Conn.execute("select @@IDENTITY 'id'")
If not uidRS.eof Then
userId = uidRS("id")
End If
returns userId as NULL,
BUT WHY???!!! I just don't get it, because all the info, including the
IDENTITY, IS added to the ob_webuser table (I did "SELECT * FROM
ob_webuser" in SQL Server)

Perhaps you should consider using Stored Procedures to
do this kind of thing? Stored procs are preferred over
in-line SQL statements for maintenance and speed's sake.
Your stored proc would be something like this:
--------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE spAddNewUser
@Username as varchar(14),
@Password as varchar(14),
@NewID as int OUTPUT
AS
INSERT INTO ob_webuser (Username, Password)
VALUES (@Username, @Password)
SELECT @NewID = @@IDENTITY
--------------------------------
@NewID would then equal the value of the new user.
Use the ADODB.Command object to call parameterized
stored procedures and set and get the parameters.
