Bill, what's the exact error message you're getting?  Are you building
an Excel file on the server and then downloading it to the browser, or
dumping down data a record at a time?

[wdvltalk] Data set is too big

2003-11-12 Thread Bill Mais
Hi,

   I have an asp page that creates and runs a sql statement and sends 
the results back to the user as an excel file.  It works really well 
until the data set gets too big - 1500 records.  If the file is too big 
it crashes when downloading the excel file.  I changed the page to build 
an html table instead and this crashes also.  The error message 
indicates that it crashed trying to go to the first record - 
objRS.movefirst.  My uneducated guess is the cache or buffer that it is 
building the dataset in is not big enough to store everything and stuff 
(technical wording) is getting pushed out.
   Is there a setting on the IIS server to increase the cache/buffer?  
Or something I need to do on the asp page?

TIA
Bill
PS  I'm hoping rudy will write a sql book for web programmers  :-)
