The most common way to display data from a recordset is to display the data in an HTML table. We have a database named “Northwind”, and we want to display the data in the “Customers” table (remember to We can also display the data in the table “Customers” in an HTML table with the following code: Add a title to the HTML table to make it more readable. (keep the file suffix as follows Display field name and field value ¶

<body>

set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "c:/webdata/northwind.mdb"
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
rs.Open "SELECT \* FROM Customers", conn
do until rs.EOF
for each x in rs.Fields
Response.Write(x.name)
Response.Write(" = ")
Response.Write(x.value & "<br>")
next
Response.Write("<br>")
rs.MoveNext
loop
rs.close
conn.close
