now i got the solution for my rollno generation query..
Code:
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
If Combo1.Text = "BE-CSE" Then
strSQL = "Select Count(*) From biodata where dept=' " & Combo1.Text & " ' "
rs.Open strSQL, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
If Not rs.BOF And Not rs.EOF Then
     rno = "10cs" & rs.Fields(0).Value + 1
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
ElseIf Combo1.Text = "BE-AERO" Then
strSQL = "Select Count(*) From biodata where dept=' " & Combo1.Text & " ' "
rs.Open strSQL, cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
If Not rs.BOF And Not rs.EOF Then
     rno = "10AE" & rs.Fields(0).Value + 1
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
