asp_databases thread: SQL Problem


Message #1 by "Noumaan Abubakar" <noumaan_abubakar@m...> on Wed, 23 May 2001 14:37:13
Can Someone help...



I use the aggregate function MIN() in an sql statement, which is supposed 

to return the earliest date in the SQL Database. However nothing is 

returned.



The code that I use is (I have created a connection object called Conn):





Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")



sqlstr = "SELECT MIN(open_date) FROM cases"



RS.Open sqlstr, Conn, 3



datevar = RS.DataMember



Response.Write datevar





Does anyone know what is wrong with the code and why its not returning 

anything??



Thanks in advance
