First of all.....
When you call Response function remepber that with in the Write("") option
you can only use _ or '' dont ever use "".
For exampel;
Response.Write("A href=""></a>") (This is wrong)
Response.Write("A href=></a>") (This is right)
Response.Write("A href=''></a>") (This is right)

Suggestion... I can see that you are only using ASP once in the code above. Why don't you do something like this...

Code:

%>
<TR>
<TD>Station Number</TD>
<TD><INPUT type=text id=stn_no name=stn_no value='<% =rs("stn_no") %>'></TD>
<TD>Paid By</TD>
<TD>
   <SELECT type=text id=paid_by name=paid_by>
       <OPTION selected value="">Select Paid By</OPTION>
       <OPTION>DCIL</OPTION>
       <OPTION>Client</OPTION>
   </SELECT>
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Station Description</TD>
</TR>
<%

... assuming that you have ASP before and after this HTML code. This way you source code will be much more readable, and you will get rid of the confusion between single and double quotes.
