Can multi queries be done in ASP pages?
 

The following statement works fine in SQL Query Analyser: SELECT count(*) as
a from NEWUSERS WHERE activated='Y'; SELECT count(*) as b from NEWUSERS
WHERE activated='N' -- It returns two values, yet when I have it in a .asp
file, it only displays the first value. Is there anyway around this, without
making two connections to the DB, and running two seperate queries?

Sure. Assuming your recordset variable is "rs" then try this:

dim firstvalue, secondvalue
firstvalue = rs("a")
set rs = rs.nextRecordset
secondvalue = rs("b")
rs.close
set rs = nothing

Why not combine them into a single query?

SELECT activated,Count(*) from NEWUSERS
GROUP BY activated

Not that this is a deterrent from your method, but I would bet that
activated allows NULLs, so you might want to add WHERE activated IN ('Y',
'N') or WHERE activated IS NOT NULL or something along those lines. Or,
don't allow NULLs in the column in the first place. ;-)

(Otherwise, you will get three rows in your resultset.)
