dim rs as Recordset

rs.open "SELECT * FROM ARCusFil_Sql WHERE Cus_No = '000000000100'"

 

print rs!Cus_No 'This will print 000000000100 unless we do some formatting on it

print rs!Cus_Name

print rs!Adr_1

print rs!Zip

print rs!Start_dt 'This will print 20031105 for November 5th, 2003 unless we do some formatting on it
