I'm a newbie using VS2005 to learn and test. I'm testing against the
Northwind DB.
I created a simple variable called "myVariable" and I assigned it the
character "c". I want my SQL query to use this variable in the "Where"
statement where it will pull up all names with the letter "c" in it. How do
I pass this variable on the the WHERE statement? I thought all I had to do
was use the <% %> with my variable inside and that would work but when I ran
it, nothing appeared. I have enclosed the acutal codes.
Please help and thank you!
