Retriving data from Database

[iffy agbim]

I have a form that displays information selected from an Access Data
base. A select statement is used to do this on my asp page
SQLQuery = "SELECT * FROM tblopgaCOm2 WHERE billNo = '"

& Request.Form("B ILLNO") & "' AND area LIKE 'AUDIT'"

billNo and area are the 2 fields used together to make the record we
need unique. example Bill d456(billNo) can be
assigned to various depts(area). as many depts as it is
assigned rep the many times it is used. ie therefore Bill d456
assigned to the audit, finance and Hresources appears 3 times.
Therefore for me to pull the record rep Bill d456 for the audit dept I
have do a select * by billNo and area like "AUDIT" as above.
This infor like I said is displayed in a form so the user also has the
ability to add or update this displayed infor.
Now this is what I want to do,
include an input box(readonly) that is also required to capture the
various dept(area) where the Billno d456 has been assigned.just one
input box that will show me that the same billNo d456 was also assigned
to not just the audit dept but also the finance & humanresource dept. so
the input box will just show the result "audit, finance & Hresource.
How do I get around this .
Is it to have 2 select statements on a page /form??
If that is the answer then how do I go about that
below is my exsisting script.Thanks as always!!!

Have some patience, you just posted after the end of the work day yesterday,
so people really haven't even had an hour to digest this yet. You have a
lot of information here, so it's not going to be a two-word or five-minute
answer. But if you keep repeatedly posting the same question over and over
again in new threads, you will be put on ignore lists quite fast.

You could do this within your page:
<select name='billDept' >
<%set sql2 = conn.execute("S ELECT * FROM tblopgaCOm2 WHERE billNo = '" &
Request.Form("B ILLNO") "'")
while not sql2.eof%>
<Option value='<%=sql2( "area")%>'> <%=sql2("area") %></option>
<%sql2.MoveNe xt
wEnd%>
</Select>

No you don't. Without a wildcard, LIKE is the same as =. You may as well use
area='AUDIT'
This infor like I said is displayed in a form so the user also has the
ability to add or update this displayed infor.
Now this is what I want to do,
include an input box(readonly) that is also required to capture the
various dept(area) where the Billno d456 has been assigned.just one
input box that will show me that the same billNo d456 was also
assigned to not just the audit dept but also the finance &
humanresource dept. so the input box will just show the result
"audit, finance & Hresource.

You have really lost me here. I've tried reading it out loud, re-punctuating
it, and meditating on it <grin> and I still can't make any sense out of it.
Care to try again?

And you don't need to show us all the HTML. This is an ASP newsgroup, not an
HTML newsgroup :-)

Sorry if my question isn't clear.this is a simplified version

yes I am displaying a form that shows one record with
SELECT * FROM tblopgaCOm2 WHERE billNo = '" & Request.Form("B ILLNO") &
"' AND area LIKE 'AUDIT'"

The same "billNO"-d456 appears more than once but the "area" makes it
unique
On the same form or at least the same page i want to include another
Textbox that will capture or extract the other "area" where billNo d456
appears. something like
below,
SELECT area FROM tblopgaCOm2 WHERE billNo = '" &
Request.Form("B ILLNO") "

but not sure if I can include 2 select statements in one form & if so
how that is if this is the way to go??
hope you catch my drift better now??

Again, the LIKE is not needed and may cause performance to suffer. Use "=".

A little. You want to show a list of the areas to which a bill has been
assigned in a textbox. Why not a listbox?

Anyways, you can run two selects in your server-side code. It would look
like this (I will illustrate this with dynamic sql, but you would be better
off using saved parameter queries):

<%
dim cn, rs, , sSQL, sAreas
set cn=server.creat eobject("adodb. connection")
cn.open "<valid connection string>"
sSQL="Select area FROM tblopgaCOm2 WHERE billNo = '" & _
Request.Form("B ILLNO") & "'"
set rs=cn.execute(s SQL,,1)
sArea=rs.GetStr ing(1,,"","; ")
rs.close
sSQL = "SELECT <list of fields> FROM tblopgaCOm2 " & _
"WHERE billNo = '" & Request.Form("B ILLNO") & _
"' AND area = 'AUDIT'"
set rs=cn.execute(s SQL,,1)
etc.

The sArea variable will contain the list of areas. Just response.write that
into your read-only textbox

You can do one of two things.
1) Execute two seperate queries.
SQLQuery="SELEC T billno, area, upddate from tblopgaCOm2 WHERE
billNo...AND area='AUDIT'
then
SQLQuery="SELEC T billno, area, upddate from tblopgaCOm2 WHERE
billNo...AND NOT area='AUDIT'
2) Execute one query, and just check for which result
SQLQuery="SELEC T billno, area, upddate from tblopgaCOm2 WHERE
billNo='whateve r'"
if RS.Fields("area ")="AUDIT" then
'write out the audit stufff
else
'write out the other stuff
end if

My mistake. It should be:
sArea=rs.GetStr ing(2,,"","; ")
