Using data retrieved from a join

Do you mean a UNION ALL statement where you combine data from two tables in the same database?

In ASP/SQL, that would look like this:

<%
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rs.ActiveConnection = MM_connectionname_STRING
rs.Source = "SELECT id, variable1, variable2, variable3 FROM DatabaseTable1 WHERE Blah Blah Blah UNION ALL SELECT id, variable1, variable2, variable3 FROM DatabaseTable2 WHERE Blah Blah Blah"
rs.CursorType = 0
rs.CursorLocation = 2
rs.LockType = 3
rs.Open()
rs_numRows = 0
%>

This will combine records from both tables and give you results. You use one recordset to do it. Keep in mind, you have to list all the variables you want to pull (no *)

I'd love to see the SQL you're talking about as I don't understand what
you mean by "outside of the defined recordset"
