Updating database - errors

Question

Hi
I've writing a content management system and when a user
submits a new page
i've got a function which strips out the HTML so as to
produce a field in
the database of just text which can be used for searching. So
far so good.
I capture the input from the form as a session, then run it
through some
functions ie
session("content") = StripHTML(session("content"))
I then want to update the database so have code of:
rsContent("fldPageContentStripped") = session("content")
rsContent("fldLastUpdated") = time()
rsContent("fldLastUpdatedDate") = date()
rsContent.Update
The page then produces an error based on the first line of
that group
saying:
Error Type:
Microsoft Cursor Engine (0x80040E21)
Multiple-step operation generated errors. Check each status
value.
Do i need to convert that session to something that the
database can input?
eg with numbers you can do INT(session("content")) etc.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Here is a question that has arisen on my current project. What are some strategies for avoiding concurrency errors in cases where a given user could attempt to modify the same row in the database with simultaneous requests (say, that he updates one column with information with an AJAX call, then immediately submits a form that updates the same row)? In which layer(s) would this best be handled? Is the best alternative to make the AJAX updates synchronous, rather than asynchronous?The database and database driver should handle that situation.
