Quick and dirty:
<% option explicit
dim employee, goodtogo, rs, rsarr, sql
dim ix, field, inputvalue, thestring

if Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" then
For ix = 1 to Request.Form.Count
field = request.form.key(ix)
inputvalue = request.form.item(ix)
TheString = field & "= Request.Form(""" & field & """)"
Execute(TheString)
next

sql "SELECT id, name FROM table WHERE field = " & employee
rs.open sql, connectionstring
if rs.open then
rsarr = rs.getrows()
recordsfound = true
else
recordsfound = false
end if
rs.Close
set rs = nothing
goodtogo = true
else
goodtogo = false
end if
%>
<% if not goodtogo then %>

<form method="post" action="<%=request.servervariables("HTTP_REFERER")%>">
<div>
<label for="employee" id="employee1">Employee: </label>
<input type="text" name="employee" id="employee" value="<%=employee%>">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>

<% else%>

<ul>
<% for i = 0 to ubound(rsarr)%>
<li><a href="page.asp?id=<%=rsarr(0,i)%><%=rsarr(1,i)%></li>
<% next%>
</ul>

<% end if%>
