can function call itself

[jcroft]

Am writing an ASP page using Access DB, can a function call itself or is it tied up during use??

create a function that calls the function you want. call that function instead of trying to call itself.

Having a function call itself is called recursive functioning, and yes, ASP can do this. Just be careful you don't end up in an infinite loop of sorts with your function always calling itself again. Harold Blackorby

Here's an example of using recursive functioning to solve math problems (that's mostly how they are used)
