Answer 1

You need to create an active connection first, and pass this to the recordset object, like this:

Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open(ConnectionString)

selectNewHireWorkPeriodsSQL = "EXEC sp_selectNewHireWorkPeriodsSQL"
Set rsNewHireWorkPeriods = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsNewHireWorkPeriods.Open selectNewHireWorkPeriodsSQL,conn,adOpenStatic 'dont use connection string here
NumOfNewHireWorkPeriods = rsNewHireWorkPeriods.RecordCount

conn.Close
Set conn = Nothing

response.write(NumOfNewHireWorkPeriods)
