Getting count in ASP

can somebody tell me what is wrong with this code.. i am trying to get the count..

Dim rsMessages2
Set rsMessages2 = DB.Execute ("SELECT count(*) FROM Messages WHERE ForumID = " & ForumID)

Try this:

<%

Dim rstCount
Set rstCount = cnnDb.Execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Messages WHERE ForumId=" & lngForumId & ";")

Response.Write rstCount(0)

%>

.. should work.

Or you could change this:

Response.Write rsMessages2

to say this:

Response.Write rsMessages2 & "_<BR>"

That might help, .....

See if this will work as well. Your problem is that you are trying to write the Recordset Object, not a string.

Code:

---

Dim rsMessages2
Set rsMessages2 = DB.Execute ("SELECT count(*) AS MyCount FROM Messages WHERE ForumID = " & ForumID)

Response.Write rsMessages2.Fields("MyCount")
