title: Make a connection to Sql Server using Classic ASP
body: <p>I have created a form with an action attribute. I am able to take the values from the web form and display them (response.write...used for clarification that my values are being read) using my action_page. I have also created a database and a table on MS Studio Management. The step i'm stuck on is the code that is required in order to connect the web form values and the database. Thanks. 
  Note: This is the action page, I did not include the form.
  Note:  I am using notepad ++ and NOT visual studio.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%@ Language="VBscript" %&gt;
  
  &lt;%
  'declare the variables that will receive the values 
   Dim name 
   Dim idnum 
   Dim product
   Dim entrydate
   Dim area
   Dim qunaity
  
   'receive the values sent from the form and assign them to variables
    quantity=Request.Form("quantity")
    area=Request.Form("area")
    entrydate=Request.Form("date")
  
    stack over
   'let's now print out the received values in the browser
    Response.Write("Name: " &amp; name &amp; "&lt;br&gt;")
    Response.Write("Quantity: " &amp; quantity &amp; "&lt;br&gt;")
    Response.Write("Area: " &amp; area &amp; "&lt;br&gt;")
    Response.Write("Date: " &amp; entrydate &amp; "&lt;br&gt;")  
    %&gt;
  </code></pre>
