    Posted: 06 November 2003 at 9:21pm

I tried to list the top 5 record from the database in the order of hot 

SELECT TOP 5 * FROM table ORDER BY hot DESC

I am not sure this would be correct. I also want to list these 5 record in a table. How can I make it and especially I want to gave each of the a particular name. Dose it have something like RS.content? Thanks

for your query.. did you at least just simply try it?

as for:
"How can I make it and especially I want to gave each of the a particular name"

what's that mean?  what are you trying to do?

Thanks Mart. I know how to use for loop to list those records now, but is there a way to transfer them to an array, like rs[1] ? Thanks

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: '[string: "SELECT TOP 5 * FROM "]'

I've used the following SQL statement many times:-

strSQL = "SELECT Top 5 field1, field2, field3, field4, field5 FROM table ORDER BY field1 DESC;"
