I have a form that is sending information to a SQL database into a table named "sponsors" - All of this is working fine. However I am trying to create a page that will display the entire table when visited. I have posted the code I am using below which is in the Body of the page I have created with the exception of the included file which is above the HTML link. The variable DataConn comes from the included DBconnect file, which is the same one I use to insert the info from the form page which once again works fine.



<%
dim strSQL_Select
strSQL_Select = " SELECT * FROM sponsors"
DataConn.execute(strSQL_Select)
%>

The page loads fine however it is blank, no tables listed just a blank page. If you know where I am going wrong please let me know. I am a complete newbie to SQL.

THank you!

I don't know anything about asp code.
select * from sponsors looks ok so far.
Is there any binding to a asp-data-control / web control to display the data?
Looking at your inserts to table sponsors, is there anything like DBName.dbo.sponsors which means the connection was made to another Database on same server?
Is there a way in asp to take care of sql errors / display sql errors?

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

You need to display your record sets.

SET rs = DataConn.execute(strSQL_Select)

do while not rs.eof
RESPONSE.WRITE(.....)
'DISPLAY YOUR RS columns FOR EXAMPLE: RS(0) is column 1 or RS("COL1")
rs.movenext
loop

Good'ol Days

ooh
Don't forget to close your connection after you display your data.
RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
DataConn.Close
Set DataConn = Nothing

Depends on which dev tool you use. Microsoft VS6.0 comes with Visual Interdev for ASP development. ColdFusion has some pretty good tools as well.
