Hi there, forgive me if the question is already been answered.


Here is the table I am working on, 21 columns

ID
Coord
N-town
Area
Crop_type
.....
....



I can correctly display all records from the table but it gets hard to format it on screen and definitely messy.
How do I go if I want to display just the N-town list and then have a hyperlink on it in order to click and diplay the rest onf information.

Any suggestion, reading, links etc is welcome.

Thank you

Assuming you have the connection (adoConn) to the database set up, create a recordset called rs:

Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recorset")
Set rs.ActiveConnection = adoConn
rs.CursorType = adOpenForwardOnly
rs.LockType = adLockReadOnly
rs.Source = "SELECT [ID], [N-town] FROM tbl_your_table"
rs.Open
While Not rs.EOF
Response.Write &quot;<a href=&quot;&quot;newpage.asp?ID=&quot; & rs.Fields(&quot;ID&quot;).Value & &quot;&quot;&quot;>&quot; & rs.Fields(&quot;N-town&quot;).Value & &quot;</a>&quot;
rs.MoveNext
Wend
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

Then in newpage.asp grab the ID from the querystring and use it to query the db for the full details from that record
 
thanks a lot, I will give it a try and I will tell you.

Bye
