Dataset Query using Parameters

OK. I've got a tough one here. I am attempting to create a parameter .aspx
page that will pass in start date, end date and multiple storeIDs to the
report. A section of my query in the report dataset looks like this:
WHERE (dbo.SalesCheckDetails.SalesDate BETWEEN @.paramStartDate AND
@.paramEndDate) AND (dbo.SalesCheckDetails.StoreID IN (@.paramStore))
The problem is at the end with the @.paramStore. It works if you pass it
just one StoreID. The syntax becomes ...StoreID IN ('1')
When you try to pass it more than one storeid, it blows up. The syntax
becomes ...StoreID IN ('1,2') and an error comes up saying that it cannot
convert '1,2' to datatype int. Is there a way to take these leading and
trailing apostrophes off or can you think of a workaround? Thanks.You have to do a dynamically generated SQL statement, like this:
= "SELECT ... WHERE (dbo.SalesCheckDetails.SalesDate BETWEEN
@.paramStartDate AND > @.paramEndDate) AND (dbo.SalesCheckDetails.StoreID IN
(" & @.paramStore & "))"
It builds the SQL statement on the fly, so you won't be able to use the
query designer after this. I may not have put the quotes in properly, but I
hope you get the idea.

marks to brackets and comes up with error "Identifier expected."

appropriate string.
Create a report that has the report parameters and a textbox and nothing
else. In the textbox put in the expression. Now you should be able to copy
and paste the result into query analyzer and it should work. Sometimes just
seeing the result will let you know what you are doing wrong.

DataItem access in ascx

I am currently building an ecommerce site using aspx, vbscript, & sql.
In my productlist control containing a datalist I am trying to use an ifstatement to determine if products are from a certain supplier... andif they are; display a phone number to call for pricing rather than theprice, since this particular supplier doesnt allow pricing of theirproducts online.
This is what I have now:
<%
Dim objConn
objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Dim strConnect
strConnect = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")
Dim supplier
objConn.Open(strConnect)
supplier = objConn.Execute("Select SupplierID From Product")
If supplier = "C" Then
Response.Write("Call 1-800-POO-STAIN")
Else
Response.Write(" Sug. Retail:")
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Price")
End IF
objConn.Close
objConn = Nothing
%>
This code gives me the following error message:
The component 'ADODB.Connection' cannot be created. Apartment threaded components can only be created on pages with an <%@. Page aspcompat=true %> page directive

Can anybody help me get this working?
I haven't worked with VBScript for acouple years now and I'm a little rusty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

What you have is Classic ASP code. You should change the extension to ASP, or convert the code to use VB.NET and the ADO.NET components.
Alternately, add this to the top of the page:
<%@. Page aspcompat=true %>
|||

The problem is I am using this in an ascx control. aspcompat is not supported by the 'control' directive.

Any other suggestions?

|||the page that will hold the ascx needs to have the aspcompat attribute.
