Question : using <br> in sql statements from asp

Hi All,

I have a list of about 100 lines that were each created as seperate forms before. However this is not very user friendly reloading the page for each change. So i have created a form around the whole thing that numbers each tag with a unique number. Then when the page reloads it loops through the records from 1 to the total number of records and builds a large update query.

From what i have researched to do a multiple update i have to do:

Update table set field = 'value' where field ='value
go
Update table set field = 'value' where field ='value
go
Update table set field = 'value' where field ='value

I have created the sql query based on this and then i do a response.write to see the results
this comes out fine and i have copied it into sql and run the query there to check it works. However to get the desired effect above i have added <br> into the sql statement to create the line breaks as go doesnt work if placed at the end of the line.

when running this through i get the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '<'.

When i response.write on the command text it shows that it fails after the last record. However for the last record it doesnt write further<br> as it knows there is not another update after that.

So after all that background the question is how can i use line breaks in the sql statement without getting the syntax error. Or is there another way to achieve updating multiple SQL rows in a table based on any number of rows and content

I have attached the code snippet.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated and if there is anymore information i can provide to help please let me know.

Kind Regards

Sprog

' use i as a counter

For i=1 to totalrecords	   
  
recordname = "Getcats" + Cstr(i)
workcodename = "workcode" + Cstr(i)

if i = totalrecords then

updatequery = updatequery + "Update Nu_KPI_Catagories Set Paul = '"+request.form(recordname)+"' Where WW_Code = '"+request.form(workcodename)+"' and SiteID ='PE'"
else
updatequery = updatequery + "Update Nu_KPI_Catagories Set Paul = '"+request.form(recordname)+"' Where WW_Code = '"+request.form(workcodename)+"' and SiteID ='PE' <br> go <br>"
end if 

next     
'repeat the code and move on to the next value of i


'once the query is built execute it

Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_Nu_KPI_STRING
    MM_editCmd.CommandText = updatequery
	response.write(MM_editCmd.commandtext)
    MM_editCmd.Execute
    MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close

Founded solution is very creative, but by default the files will be saved in (or loaded from) applications folder therefore
ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName) is unnecessary.
