Retriving data Using 2 sql statements...

[iffy agbim]

I am getting just one value returned in the textarea called
otherdescription based on the 2nd sql statement in my code .
The values returned from the field in the DB called area should be 2
values and not one value .can anyone tell me what I am missing out .
Is it that it is not looping well or what????.The first sql displays
all the infor required into the form based on the billNo selected. that
works okay

<%
Test = request.querystring("Test")
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set Rs = Server.CreateObject("adodb.Recordset")
Set Rs1 = Server.CreateObject("adodb.Recordset")
Conn.Open "eiwp"
SQLQuery = "Select * from tblopgaCOm2 WHERE Test = " & Test
RS.Open SQLQuery ,Conn,1,1

strBillNo=RS("billNo")

SQLQuery1= "Select area FROM tblopgaCOm2 WHERE billNo = " & strBillNo
&"' "
RS1.Open SQLQuery ,Conn,1,1

Why are you doing this in two select statements?

<%
Test = request.querystring("Test")
Set Conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "eiwp"
' stop using DSNs!
' please see http://www.aspfaq.com/2126

' "Select * from tblopgaCOm2 WHERE Test = " & Test
' do not use SELECT *!
' please see http://www.aspfaq.com/2096

SQLQuery = "SELECT priorcomments, area " & _
" FROM tblopgaCOm2 " & _
" WHERE Test = " & Test
' I assume Test is a numeric?

set rs = conn.execute(SQLQuery)
priorcomments = Server.HTMLEncode(rs(0))
area = Server.HTMLEncode(rs(1))
response.write "<textarea>" & priorcomments
response.write "</textarea><textarea>"
do while not rs.eof
response.write rs("area") & ", "
rs.movenext
loop
rs.close: set rs = nothing
conn.close: set conn = nothing
%>

You can put the rest of your HTML back in there. For other information, see
http://www.aspfaq.com/2188 (treatment of MEMO/TEXT columns, if that's what
priorcomments and/or area are).
