Thank you taking the time to reply to my basic question!
To explain a little further, after I run the SQL, I am left with a
single value for holiday_ID. I then call the following to pass the
holiday_ID to another asp file with our any user input
<form
method=post
action='email2.asp'
name='myform'>
<input
type=hidden
name='myname'
value="<%=Request.Form("holiday_id")%>">
</form>
<script>
window.onLoad = document.myform.submit();
</script>
I am trying to display the holiday_ID in the email2.asp page as I am
not sure that the holiday_ID is sent. I have put the following on the
email2.asp page,
<%
'declare your variables
Dim holiday_ID
'Receiving values from Form, assign the values entered to variables
holiday_ID = Request.Form("holiday_ID")
If holiday_ID <>"" Then
Response.write("No records returned.")
Else
Response.Write("my id is:" & holiday_ID)
End If
%>
If I run the app, "my id is" gets displayed but no holiday_ID. It
would appear that somthing is passed to the email2something.asp page,
but what?
I am sure it's obvious, I am not familiar with asp!
