    Question Postcodes and Timeouts

    Does anyone have an example of how to create an SQL statement that deals with Postcodes and using ASP. I need to be able to query my database via postcodes, but the trouble I want people to be able to enter something like
    BETWEEN 'NE1' AND 'TS15', I don't get the right results and I've tried several ways.

    Also what is the best way to stop a session timing out. I need to keep the session going till the user closes the browser.
    Thanks in advance for any help provided.

    VB 6 Enterprise Edition SP4
    ADO, SQL 7/2000, ASP and some JavaScript

    1. Try SQL like "... WHERE CODE > 'NE1' AND CODE < 'TS15'" -- It works for Last Names on a SQL Server 2000 db I have.

    2. Well, ASP has no way of knowing when the browser closes, but you could have them keep opening pages - you could use a frameset, and have one of the frames refresh every few minutes.

    Thanks I've tried that, but since there are number in the postcodes it doesn't return true results

    Example

    >='Ne1' AND <='TS3'

    Returns things like TS16, TS17, etc
