ASP/VB problem

Using asp/vb. I have the following problem. I don't know the asp/vb syntax that
well. I was wondering if you could help
me.

I have the following among my html code:

<TD>
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("Var 1").Value)%>
<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("Var 2").Value)%>
</TD>

These are grabbing values from my database.
I want to create a new variable not in the database Called "VALUE". Value is
created by "Var 1" minus "Var 2".

How do i display "Value"?

I'm sure this isn't correct but i'd imagine its something like the following:

<%
Dim Value
Value = Recordset1.Fields.Item("Var 1").Value - Recordset1.Fields.Item("Var
2").Value
Display Value
%>

Thanx i appreciate it

No problem i just figured it out

If you tell us what youdid, maybe you will help a few others wanting to do
the same thing.
Thanks,

Solution:

<%
Dim varValue
varValue = (Recordset1.Fields.Item("Var 1").Value -
Recordset1.Fields.Item("Var 2").Value)
Response.Write(varValue)
%>

Note:
I prepend "var" to my variable names to (mostly) avoid potential naming
conflicts...
