Hi
You would generally return the results in a RecordSet.
Set RS=Server.CreateObject("Adodb.Recprdset")
RS.ActiveConnection="Some connection to a database"
Sql = "Select Id, Name From Users Where Name like '%Smi%'
Set RS=RS.Open SQL
If Not RS.Eof Then
While Not Rs.Eof
Response.Write("Id =" & RS("Id") & " - ")
Response.Write("Name =" & RS("Name") & " ")
RS.MoveNext
WEND
End If
Hope it helps
