passing a parameter?

I am trying to display database records in an ASP page with table structures.

Based on a link such as these on one ASP page
http://.../JobDescription.asp?JobDe...ST%20DEPARTMENT
http://.../JobDescription.asp?JobDe...ST%20DEPARTMENT
I would like to pull a single job description record at a time from a database with three fields.

Our programmer suggested that while my links on the list page were good, the page recieving the data, JobDescription.asp, was missing a parameter or something.

Right now, no matter what link is pressed, only the first record shows.

Here's my code. Help is always apprecated.
___________
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<BODY>

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open(Server.Mappath("jobdesc.mdb"))
set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.recordset")
sql="SELECT * FROM jobdescmain"
rs.Open sql, conn
%>

<table width="700" border="1" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" bordercolor="#007A62">
<tr>
<td width="200" valign="top" bgcolor="#F5DE92">
<%response.write rs.Fields("JobDescName").Value%> 
<hr width="195" align="center" color="#CC6319">
General Duties: 
 
<%response.write rs.Fields("GenDuties").Value%>
<hr width="195" align="center" color="#CC6319"></td>
<td width="500" valign="top" bgcolor="#F8F5D4">Primary
Duties: 
 <%response.write rs.Fields("PrimeDuties").Value%> 

</td>
</tr>
</table>

<%
rs.close
conn.close
%>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Well, I found it myself. Thanks everyone!

JobDescName=Request.QueryString("JobDescName")
sql = "SELECT * FROM jobdescmain WHERE JobDescName = '" & JobDescName & "';"
