                       I've been working on a couple of custom pages that display on one page a simple list of topics from selected forums.
  For the forum selection I'd like to use an array that I have declared in inc_header.asp:intAllowedCategoryArray = Array(50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58) 
  This is what it looks like at the moment: http://www.stephendoyle.net/hl_equipment2.asp U:snitz, P: snitz ... which is not very good. It seems to only display one page of topics.
  Here is a text version of my file. http://www.stephendoyle.net/hl_equipment2.txt
  Once again, all help will be sincerely appreciated. |

                       Oops, seems the error occurs for standard user only. I'm at work now and can't fix it till I get home later. Sorry guys.
  I've put a screenshot in my FilesLibrary> Images folder. |

                       I'm in trouble here. I can't understand why an Admin can view the page without an error and a normal user will get the followingMicrosoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e14' 
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ')'.

	set rs = nothing After this the table gets built. If you read my original post I'm aiming only to display multiple forum topics from a selected array in inc_header. I'm not sure my entire sql statements are correct as I've modified them from default.asp and pop_topics_url.asp (insert topic hyperlink mod).
  Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?

                       OK so if I change this linearrTopicData = rs.GetRows(strPageSize)  toarrTopicData = rs.GetRows(adGetRowsRest)  the page will display every forum topic .. which is halfway to where I need to be. I just need to filter out topics that don't belong to my Forum_ID array:intAllowedCategoryArray = Array(50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58) 
  Does anyone know how to do this? Laser gave me some code earlier in another post of mine:For x = 0 to UBound(intAllowedCategoryArray)
    If strRqForumID = intAllowedCategoryArray(x) Then
        blnForumCheck = 1
        x = UBound(intAllowedCategoryArray)
    End If
Next
If blnForumCheck = 1 then that I have tried inserting all over the place with no results.

                       Am I going about this the wrong way? Would it be easier to add a new field in the Forums Table:
[ALTER]
FORUM
ADD#F_CUSTOMVIEW#int#NULL#0
[END]
[INSERT]
CONFIG_NEW
(C_VARIABLE,C_VALUE)#('strCUSTOMVIEW','0')
[END]
  Then find a way to set this to '1' for each forum. And then use : If StrCustomView = 1 |

                      |  I've still got no further this week with this code. I've tried various combinations of topic.asp code but its beyond me. I'm back to my first (best) effort with the same code posted above or at:www.stephendoyle.net/hl_equipment2.txt Any ideas? |

                       Thanks OneWayMule, I want this page to filter out every forum except the ones who's FORUM_ID appears in my Array(50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58).
  I've put some custom msgicons that refer to equipment status - on loan, available, for repair that I want this page to display - which it does. Once I can get the filtering right I can work on some date functions like - 'days since'. |

                       Don't tell me it was that easy! DUH! So I add this line "WHERE FORUM_ID>=50 AND FORUM_ID<=58 " in my sql statement above before the '################# starts? |
