Gossamer Instal of Links still does not work
http://www.babiesonline.com/links

Hey guys, I've been emailing you about this for a few weeks.. I can not add
links to my links database and have not been able to since you set it up. As
ad administrator this is a pretty important function. Please fix it

Failed to execute query: 'INSERT INTO lsql_Links
(Description,LinkOwner,Hits,Date_Checked,Status,isChanged,isPopular,Add_Date
,Title,Rating,Votes,isNew,URL,Contact_Name,Contact_Email,Mod_Date,isValidate
d) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)' Reason: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL
Server Driver]Invalid character value for cast specification
(SQL-22018)(DBD: st_execute/SQLExecute err=-1)

Did you send GT a direct email or fill out their technical support form?

Also without seeing the passed parameters, it's difficult to identify the possible error.

Buh Bye!

I don't know about any paramaters, but you guys just installed the program last month and this particular part has yet to work.

This may help you...

For future reference it's best to ask these sorts of questions in the product specific forum as this forum is intended to be a general SQL forum. It's not a big deal though.

Thanks for the link. I looked in the product specific category but didn't see anything about bugs or databases (maybe I'm blind) so I thought this was the next best thing.

Re: the link you sent... this is for adding a category, which I probably am having problems with too... but regardless, I paid Gossamer to install this program so I feel it is their responsibility to get it working. If I wanted to mess with the database stuff I would have done it myself to begin with and saved myself a few bucks. I was just trying to get their attention in the forums since my emails were not being replied to.

Thanks again, though.
