Delete a record

We are going to use two files in order to delete a record.  First file (toDelete.asp) is to view all the records and the second file (deleteComment.asp) is to delete selected record.
Code to list records from tblFeeds
Select name to delete.

Dim Conn, Rs, sql
Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set Rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Conn.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("FeedBack.mdb")
sql= "SELECT * FROM tblFeeds;"
Rs.Open sql, Conn
Response.Write "<FORM name='Delete' method='post' action='DeleteComment.asp'>"
Response.Write "<table border=1 cellspacing=0>"
Response.Write "<tr>"&"<td colspan='3' align='center'>"&"Select a comment to delete and click delete"&"</td>"&"</tr>"
Response.Write "<tr>"&"<th align='center' colspan='2'>"&"Name"&"</th>"&"<th align='center'>"&"Comment"&"</th>"&"</tr>"
Do While not Rs.EOF
Response.Write ("<tr>")
Response.Write ("<td>"&"<input type='radio' name='ID' value="&Rs("user_id")&">"&"</td>")
Response.Write ("<td>"&Rs("name")&"</td>")
Response.Write ("<td>"&Rs("comments")&"</td>")
Response.Write ("</tr>")
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
Response.Write("<tr>"&"<td colspan='3' align='center'>"&"<input type ='submit' name='submit' value='Delete' onClick='return validate();'>"&"</td>"&"</tr>")
Response.Write "</table>"
Response.Write "</form>"

Set Rs = Nothing
Set Conn = Nothing
