Is there a limit of 32KB on the amount of data that can be displayed by an ASP page?

Could someone enlighten me on this?

Thanks

 
There's no limit that I'm aware of. I've written pages in the past that would take two minutes to process and display on a client's machine.

I'm not sure how many k it was when finished, but I can guarantee that it was ALOT bigger than 32.

Is there a problem with something you're trying to do?

I have not encountered any problems till now. But in the production envrionment , the data retreived is likely to be large. During a discussion, a project member raised this concern but did not substantiate this information. So I'm trying to find out if this could be the case.
 
Keep this in mind. For most applications, if your page takes longer that 5 seconds to load up, you **might** want to consider paging your recordsets.

Personally, I think 20 seconds is the point at which you definitely should page the recordset.

Web users get very impatient, but like I said, I know of no real boundary to the amount of data that is possible to retrieve via ASP.
