[sureshfina]

When we meet somebody... we usually ask "how are you?".
But sometime I see somebody asking "how are you doing?"

what is the difference? Please let me know the correct usage in correct situation...

can we use the reply "fine" and "great" for both the above sentence

Thanks in advance
Suresh
