Stopping entries into database

  #1  
Jan 5th, 2006
I made an online registration form using ColdFusion MX and Access 2003. I want to be able to make it so when there are 20 entries into the database it will stop accepting signups. Does anyone know of any code that I could put on the page that checks for the number of entries and stops people from signing up if the limit has been met? Thanks!

Ok,


This is the code,

<cfquery name="number_entries" datasource="Your DNS">
SELECT “Primary Key Column�
FROM “Your table name�
WHERE “Primary Key Column� = 20
</cfquery>

<cfif number_entries.RecordCount NEQ 0>
<! ---this is the url the user will be sent to if you record count = 20--->
<! ---you have to create the “sorry.cfm� to tell the user that no more recorders can be added--->
<cflocation url="sorry.cfm" />

<cfelse>

<!--- if the count is < 20 than you INSERT the VALUES-->
<cfquery datasource="Your DNS">
INSERT INTO ( )
VALUES ( )
</cfquery>

</cfif>

It worked for me so it should work for you.

Take care,

Walyer
