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 from the "Customers" table (remember to save the file with an .asp extension):
Example
<html>
<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
%>
</body>
</html>
<body>
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"

rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Customers", conn
do until rs.EOF

next

rs.MoveNext
loop
rs.close
conn.close
%>
</body>
</html>
