Convert SQL To HTML Table


Returns the results of a SQL query as an HTML table. This small function is not only very fast it also simplifies the programming logic for displaying data.

Original Author: Ron de Frates

Inputs

SQL query

Assumptions

Requires ADO 2.0 or higher. I benchmarked this code against a traditional "rs.MoveNext" method and got a 100% speed improvement for 200 records.

Returns

A string containing the results as a HTML table
