Did DW update 8.0.2 change the code?

Question

I would really appreciate a look into this problem. I I have
ordered some Interakt extensions and have noticed the code changed
on me (see lots below). But then I went to another machine with the
8.0.2 update with NO EXTENSIONS ENABLED or the Interakt installed
and I get the same code change. I have posted this to Interakt as
well so I am looking for a reason for this bizzare problem. I have
a client who has already paid up front for a quite involved dynamic
site and I cant get the folders, database and connections strings
to work together like the site before the extensions and upgrade.
Posted to Interakt:
I have been at this for 5 days now and I am at a complete and
total loss and do not have a clue why this is happening. But I can
say that this problem started AFTER I installed the Interakt
products KHTML4, Kollection3, MxCalendar, MX CSS Menus AND/OR
DW8.0.2. - I don't know which came first.
Several months back I created a web site
www.bobbygainesfunktion.com - site works. I was not using the
products or upgrade (pretty sure) upgraded DW, then I bought the
Interakt products 3 weeks ago hoping I could make fabulous websites
but I am not able to do the simplest thing like create a folder and
link to the database ASPVBScript style. I keep getting a reoccuring
error and the code has also changed in how the pages are created
dynamically.
I created the funktion site without the upgrade and the
products - about 90% sure. I was able to create a folder and link
to the database from inside it with no problem.
The code is as follows for the page as well as its
cooresponding connection file:
PAGE
BAND.ASP
%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%
<!--#include file="Connections/connfunktion2.asp" -->
<%
Dim tourlist
Dim tourlist_numRows
Set tourlist = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
tourlist.ActiveConnection = MM_connfunktion_STRING
tourlist.Source = "SELECT * FROM Gig WHERE GStamp >=
Date() ORDER BY GStamp ASC"
tourlist.CursorType = 0
tourlist.CursorLocation = 2
tourlist.LockType = 1
tourlist.Open()
tourlist_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
Repeat1__numRows = 4
Repeat1__index = 0
tourlist_numRows = tourlist_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%>
CONNECTION PAGE; connfunktion2.asp:
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_connfunktion_STRING
MM_connfunktion_STRING =
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
Server.MapPath("data/funkdata.mdb")
%>
Band.asp is located in the root of the directory so the
address to the connection file: Connections/connfunktion2.asp
works.
A FILE IN FOLDER CALLED ADMIN:
GIGLIST.ASP
<!--#include file="../Connections/connfunktion.asp" -->
<%
Dim seeGig
Dim seeGig_numRows
Set seeGig = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
seeGig.ActiveConnection = MM_connfunktion_STRING
seeGig.Source = "SELECT * FROM Gig ORDER BY GStamp ASC"
seeGig.CursorType = 0
seeGig.CursorLocation = 2
seeGig.LockType = 1
seeGig.Open()
seeGig_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
Repeat1__numRows = -1
Repeat1__index = 0
seeGig_numRows = seeGig_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%>
CONNECTION PAGE: Connfunktion.asp
<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_connfunktion_STRING
MM_connfunktion_STRING =
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
Server.MapPath("/data/funkdata.mdb")
%>
Note that the addresses have changed for both the Map.Path
and the include file to accomidate the folder.
THIS SITE WORKS
Now That I have bought the Interakt product AND/OR upgraded
to DW8.0.2 I cannot for the life of me replicate this process.
The following address is live:
http://www.homecomputertutor-sc.com/twoconn/admin/
This uses the exact same method of connection file and
database address change.
Index page in folder named admin:
@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"
<!--#include file="../Connections/twoconn.asp" -->
<%
Dim Recordset1
Dim Recordset1_cmd
Dim Recordset1_numRows
Set Recordset1_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Recordset1_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_twoconn_STRING
Recordset1_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM News"
Recordset1_cmd.Prepared = true
Set Recordset1 = Recordset1_cmd.Execute
Recordset1_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
Repeat1__numRows = -1
Repeat1__index = 0
Recordset1_numRows = Recordset1_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%>
NOTICE A DIFFERENCE! -
{{{Dim Recordset1_cmd
Set Recordset1_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Recordset1_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_twoconn_STRING
Recordset1_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM News"
Recordset1_cmd.Prepared = true}}}
This is the line of code that is failing:
Recordset1_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_twoconn_STRING
Connection File code:
<%
' FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_twoconn_STRING
MM_twoconn_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=" & Server.MapPath("/database/twoconn.mdb")
%>
Have I upgraded to DW8.0.2 since the creation of Funktion - I
think. Could this be a Dreamweaver problem and not yours - I don't
know. I would appreciate a good look into this.
Thanks so very much,

Answer 1

Part of the 8.0.2 update of DW8 was to secure recordsets to
prevent SQL
injection attacks. This has caused some problem with
extensions that work
with or create recordsets and extension developers have been
working to make
their extensions work with the new code.
It was my understanding that Interakt had published updates
of all their
affected extensions for 8.0.2. I found this technote on their
site that
should answer a lot of your questions. If it doesn't, they
have extensive
forums on their site for all of their products.
