Question

My simple form page isn't passing along the form variable I need to load my update page?

I have created a recordset on my update page that specifies a form variable filter that matches the form ID on my simple form page.  When I enter the information on that page and submit, I go to the update page but nothing is loaded.  I've tested the update page using a URL parameter and it loads perfectly.  Why isn't my form variable working?

We would need to see the code to be able to answer that. Also, the url -if avaiable- to observe the behavior.

Thanks for responding.  Here's the code.  I can't help with the url since I'm running on MAMP.

At your prompting, I too examined the code and found that my text field lacked proper coding.  Made the changes and voila!

Once again thanks.  At the very least you jump started my thinking.
