Update multiple records with Update Command Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - ASP VBScript

Question

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - Language ASP – VBScript
I’m trying to update more than one record at a time
using checkboxes. I’ve successfully done this numerous times
prior to Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
Before Dreamweaver 8.0.2, I would create a page with a
recordset, form, checkbox and repeat region and pass the ID to
another page containing an ‘Update Command’. The code
on the Update page looked similar to the following:
<%
if(Request.QueryString("MemberID") <> "") then
spMemberApproving__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("MemberID")
%>
<%
set spMemberApproving = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
spMemberApproving.ActiveConnection =
MM_connIssuesManager_STRING
spMemberApproving.CommandText = "UPDATE tblMembers SET
MemberApproved = 1 WHERE MemberID IN (" +
Replace(spMemberApproving__MMColParam, "'", "''") + ")"
spMemberApproving.CommandType = 1
spMemberApproving.CommandTimeout = 0
spMemberApproving.Prepared = true
spMemberApproving.Execute()
Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>
However, in Dreamweaver 8.0.2 when you fill out the Update
Command dialog box, Dreamweaver asks you to provide the
‘Type’ and ‘Size’ for the variables (see:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4e6b330a
That being said and done, the code on the Update page looks
like the following:
<%
' IIf implementation
Function MM_IIf(condition, ifTrue, ifFalse)
If condition = "" Then
MM_IIf = ifFalse
Else
MM_IIf = ifTrue
End If
End Function
%>
<%
if(Request.QueryString("MemberID") <> "") then
spMemberApproving__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("MemberID")
%>
<%
Set spMemberApproving = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
spMemberApproving.ActiveConnection =
MM_connIssuesManager_STRING
spMemberApproving.CommandText = "UPDATE tblMembers SET
MemberApproved = 1 WHERE MemberID IN (?) "
spMemberApproving.Parameters.Append
spMemberApproving.CreateParameter("MMColParam", 202, 1, 10,
MM_IIF(Request.QueryString("MemberID"),
Request.QueryString("MemberID"), spMemberApproving__MMColParam
spMemberApproving.CommandType = 1
spMemberApproving.CommandTimeout = 0
spMemberApproving.Prepared = true
spMemberApproving.Execute()
Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>
The Update Command works perfectly when only 1 record is
being updated. However, when I try to update more than one record I
get the following error:
Error Type:
ADODB.Command (0x800A0D5D)
Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current
operation.
/issues_manager/admin/members_approving.asp, line 27
Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

Yes, this is a bug in Dreamweaver 8.0.2. The only workaround
is to stay with
8.0.1 or to hand-code the query. Adobe removed most of the
useful ways to
use Commands and Recordsets in 8.0.2 and limited it to basic
queries.
