I have two recordsets:<%=(rsSub2.Fields.Item("subtotal".Value)%> and <%=(rsTest.Fields.Item("subTaxes".Value)%> that I want to calculate.
My simplistic version would be:
<%=(rsSub2.Fields.Item("subtotal".Value)%> * <%=(rsTest.Fields.Item("subTaxes".Value)%> /100 = total
I have no clue how to do this using ASP, I have been trying to do it using SQL, but I haven't been able to succeed and as someone told me, since I'm using an Access Database, if I do my calculation via Queries, I would pay with processing load. Please, if anyone has a sample of how to approach such calculation using ASP would be great. Is it possible.? Any idea, suggestion? I am more of a front end guy but I'm trying to learn the back end.

Javier,
Try this :
<%=(rsSub2.Fields.Item("subtotal".Value) * (rsTest.Fields.Item("subTaxes".Value) /100%>
That's all, this makes the calculation in ASP, without having to query in Access, which will work much slower indeed.
