How would it know what columns should be used as "This" and "This1"? I would shoot for something that accepts a recordset, a format string, and an array of column names to use against the format string. Maybe even use token delimiters (like {CurlyBraces}) in your format string and simply walk the record set for column names that match the terms you've wrapped in delimiters. If you're working in .NET, you already have a lot of this for free. Well, actually in .NET you would just use binding against a repeater, but I digress...

I think what the poster is asking is if you can pass a string that is also the name of a variable and have the variable name put out in bold and the value of the variable put out in standard.

From memory there is no way to do this in classic ASP (not even sure if you can do it in .Net to be honest).
