i am trying to show the recordset with the code..
the error i get is :
ADODB.Command (0x800A0BB9)
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
line 24

Where am i going wrong ?

Try setting the activeconnection first:

set comm=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
comm.ActiveConnection=conn

The command object needs to know how to connect to your database. So yes, you need either a connection string or a connection object. I can't remember if a command object can use just the connection string or not.

If you just specify the connection string to your cmd object and it works, you can drop the connection object, yes.
