I am pretty new to ASP.

HTML Page
<input type="checkbox" name="chkStat" value="" checked>Low

ASP Page
chkCheck = request.form("chkStat")
response.write chkCheck

I get nothing? How do I pass the value of the checkbox from the HTML page
to ASP page.

Thank you

you haven't given it a value. well, you have. an empty string.

if you actually give it a value, it'll pass that.

<input type="checkbox" name="chkStat" value="This Is A Value" checked>

Actually you're getting an empty string, which is the "value" you assigned
to the "chkStat" checkbox.
make this change:
<input type="checkbox" name="chkStat" value="Low" checked>Low

Generally speaking you can pass variables from page to page by:

1) Posting form fields from one page to the next (or to the same page)
and on the page to retrieve the value strLName = Request.Form("LName")

2) Using a querystring such as Response.Redirect
"login.asp?lname=smith&fname=tom" and on the page to retrieve the values
strLName = Request.QueryString("lname") and strFName =
Request.QueryString("fname")

3) Using session variables such as Session("LName") = "Smith" and on the
page to retrieve the value strLName = Session("LName")

4) Using cookie variables such as Cookie("LName") = "Smith" and on the
page to retrieve the value strLName = Cookie("LName")
