Chris writes "I would like to produce some (ASP) code that will parse or validate a user generated SQL (SELECT) statement prior to passing it into ADODB objects to return a recordset back to the user.

I can run the code either client side as JavaScript or server side as VBScript/JavaScript."

It's not something that you can do in ASP, and ADO doesn't have a Parse method. I think you'll have to execute the SQL, and if you get no errors, then you know it parsed successfully. Anyway, IMHO it makes no sense to call the server to parse a statement, find out it's OK, and then call it AGAIN to execute it.

I agree with rob whole-heartedly, except you may be able to set parseonly on for the batch to prevent the over-head of actually doing the execution . .
