Displaying SQL results

I hate to ask this question because I think it will be easy to answer but I have searched forums and used google and cant find an answer.

Is it possible to display an SQL querie to a text box or a label caption? - in particular I want to display the results of Sum or Average (which should be a single word answer

eg if I have a table called wind, and 2 columns (date and wind strength) and I want to find the average wind per month I can use the statement

SELECT Average(wind strength) FROM Wind WHERE date = 'Jan'

but how do I tell it to display the result in a text box?

thanks

There are many methods you can use.

I recommend you rewrite your SQL like this:
SELECT Average(wind_strength) AS Avg_Wind_Strength FROM Wind WHERE date = 'Jan'

I am not sure how you store the date record, but your statement "... WHERE date = 'Jan'" is so strange, is it valid?

If you set rst as recordset, then you can use either of the following:

txtAverage.Text = rst(0).Value
txtAverage.Text = rst("Avg_Wind_Strength").Value
txtAverage.Text = rst!Avg_Wind_Strength
txtAverage.Text = rst.Fields(0).Value

What kind of database is this?

Date is a reserved word and should not be used as a field name. This could be causing issues.

Thanks, i made up that database as an example - but I can see how to display the results from the first reply.

Thanks for the help
