[Duplicate post. See below]

i am happy to be a member of this community. recently, i encountered some problems while i was working on a project, along the line, i thiught i should let my problems be known to the community.

The project has to be database driven application. here,i need to use a particular existing record to QUERY as per say, to retrieve the details of that record as long as it exists in the database.

please looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible.

Bellow is the excerpt of the program.

What is your question?

Thanks for showing interest.

My question actually, was centered to what method to use to retrieve my resultset as soon as i enters my car chassis number. so that the details of the car will be displayed on the textarea which i provided.

looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible.
