Nothing obvious from a quick scan of the code.  What does a msgbox say is
actually in objRS("Overwrite")?

What sort of field is "Overwrite"?  If it's Boolean, I doubt that "Yes" is
what you should be checking for.  If it's Boolean, in JScript I'd just do
'if (objRS("Overwrite"))'.

Subject: [ASP] Problem Updating Database Record


I realize this is a little quirky, but here goes.  I have a basic
script that searches my database table for the users email address.
IF the record does not exist THEN insert a new record.  ELSE display
the "email already exists" message.  However, I need to throw in one
kink.  If the record already exists, but the Overwrite field
= "Yes", the record should be updated.

Below is the base of my script.  If the record is found, it keeps
displaying the "email already exists" message.  I can't seem to get
the excemption to work based on the Overwrite field.  Does someone
see what I am missing?

mySQL = "SELECT * FROM tblProfiles WHERE fEmail = '" & strEmail & "'"
objRS...
objConn...

IF objRS.EOF THEN
objRS.AddNew
...
objRS.Update

ELSEIF objRS("Overwrite") = "Yes" THEN
objRS.MoveFirst
...
objRS.Update

ELSE
Response.Write "Your email already exists in our database."

END IF

Thanks,
PW
