Help
needed with Checkboxes on PHP Script
I've been trying to configure a PHP script to use on
my website that sends the completed form to me as an
email (you know the drill). Everything has worked dandy
until I get to the checkboxes (Please State Interest:).
ASP
and Jet Database Management
I have hunted around the forum without success, so hopefully
someone can answer this for me. I have been asked to
convert an old ASP / Access 2000 database website solely
in terms of layout and the Access database field names.
Error
inserting 40 rows into access database table...
I am continually getting the error: [Microsoft][ODBC
Microsoft Access Driver] Missing semicolon (;) at end
of SQL statement. I have a web based ASP web form which
the user will enter a name and answer 40 questions then
have those answers insert into an access database.

Upgrading To ASP.Net 2: Why Your Site Might Stop Working When You Do
 By
John Belthoff
Asp.Net version 2 was just recently released
by Microsoft and contains a feature rich set of classes that can do
just about anything imaginable.
However if your thinking about hosting your asp.net 2 site on a shared
hosting environment there are a few considerations you should know
about before you take the plunge. If you have already upgraded you
may be wondering why your site that was working fine in version 1.1
but now has problems working in Asp.Net version 2.
Code Access Security
If you receive one of those generic yellow error messages that say
something like the following:
Security Exception
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation
not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the
required permission please contact your system administrator or change
the application's trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException:
Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
The Reason? - Code Access Security!
As it turns out many shared hosting companies are setting the Security
Trust level in the asp.net version 2.0 machine.config files to the
default "Medium" setting then locking it down so it can't be overridden
by the application.
This is great from the hosting perspective but not so good if you
are a developer that uses asp.net functions like xml.load from another
website, webrequest, webclient, system.net, etc... or many other classes
that a default medium trust setting doesn't allow.

What can you do?
There are a number of considerations on how to rectify this situation
and the first is to contact your hosting company and ask them to create
a modified version of the medium trust machine.config file to allow
for the features you want to implement.
Microsoft has provided an article that describes this process and
if you're hosting company is not aware of it than shame on them.
The article can be found here: How
To: Use Medium Trust in ASP.NET 2.0
Give this a good read as it explains not only how to modify medium
trust but also how to code for the medium trust settings.
If that is not an option you might want to consider recoding your
entire website to conform to medium trust, not a very good option,
or moving to a hosting company that will work with you for your particular
needs.
Allowing open socket connections is a security risk for a hosting
company, but if you can establish that your code is not malicious
a reputable hosting company should provide you with proper security
clearance to utilize the rich classes that asp.net version 2.0 has
to offer. After all they are claiming to sell you asp.net version
2.0. And if you can't use version 2's classes than you are not getting
what you paid for.
Over time there will need to be a balance between the hosting companies
security needs and the ability of a web developer to utilize the classes
that make asp.net version 2.0 so brilliant and I hope that time comes
sooner rather than later.
