URL Stored In Database

I have included in my database a location (web URL) of a file that the person using my site can click on and it will work as a normal hyperlink and go to that page.

In case that doesn't make sense,

Say this is my database:

IMEtitle
Sarah

LocationURL
http://this.com/here.html

I want to display on my page Sarah and Sarah be hyperlinked. The hyperlink is pulled from the database as well as Sarah.

Here is the code I have,

<a href = "<% =recordset("LocationURL") %>"> <%Response.Write recordset("IMEtitle")%></a>

Everything appears fine, but when I click the link it says just adds it to the end, it looks something like this:
http://www.nps.navy.mil/Content/DLR...S/Southwest.swf#

Whereas it should look like:
http://www.nps.edu/DL/DLRC/media_de...S/Southwest.swf

I have done this sort of thing in PHP, but I am not sure how to do it in ASP.
