How do I replace parameters in a SQL Query

VDG (TechnicalUser)

This is probably a newbie question but when programming in C++ I have always found it easier to dynamically create the SQL Query string rather than to use parameters.  Now in MSFP I'm having troubles with both.

On my page I used the MSFP Database Results Wizard and I have my parameters in the Query as ::fUName:: and ::fPWord::, but my Query returns no records.  My Query is:

CODE

fp_sQry="SELECT PRIVLEDGE FROM Users WHERE User_Name='::fUName::' AND PWord='::fPWord::'"

However, when I use the Query below I return 1 Record

CODE

fp_sQry="SELECT PRIVLEDGE FROM Users WHERE User_Name='Admin' AND PWord='admin'"

Obviously I'm am missing something, my Page code is below.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Victor

Not sure about this one - try making the code generation VBScript instead of JScript/Javascript.

At a guess it is mixing the two.

Well, I fianally figured out ho to get this to work.  It is really quite simple and I guess I missed somthing in the docs.

The SQL Parameters need to match the fields in the form that call the ".asp" file.
