I don't think ASP would issue an error if you re-used a variable...
In fact, I can almost guarantee I re-used variables all the time in ASP.
There might have been some kind of Programming Guidelines where you worked
that said not to do that, though...

I would move all of this stuff OUTSIDE the <select> because after you add
your error messages, you'll never see them if they are inside the
<select>.

You are not using maker, nor maker_id, so why put them in the query, and
why get them from your result set?

Don't connect to the database twice.
That's the most expensive (time-wise) thing in your whole script, probably.

And you don't need this either.

Again, move these outside the <select>
