hello,

Howdy.

Your question (below) lacks quite a few details, but
here's some sample code that retrieves information from a
database.

Dim conMyDb
Dim rstQry
Dim strSql
Dim strMyVal
Set cnMyDb = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnMyDb.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=" & _
Server.MapPath("fpdb/my.mdb") & ";"

strSql = "SELECT * FROM mytable " & _
"WHERE mykey = '" & request("myfield") & "' "
set rstQry = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rstQry.Open strSql, cnMyDb, 1, 1
if rstQry.eof then
strMyVal = "Key '" & request("myfield") & "' not found."
else
strMyVal = rstQry("myfield")
end if
rstQry.Close
cnMyDb.Close

Of course, you would have to modify the database file
location, the table and field names, the source of the
lookup value, and so forth.
