Passing form variables to another web page?

[da_riggy]

I have a simple select parameter screen that calls another web page. When I request the variable from the form in the detail page (request.form("app_sts")), the values are always blank. I have looked at this for hours and cannot get it to pass data. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Steve

Attached is the code for the parameter program and the detail prgram:

You have your form method set to POST. If you want to pass variables, you have to change the method to GET.

<form id="tradeapproval" name="tradeapproval" method="get" action="Trade_Approval_Ticket.asp">

Cheers

Thanks Chuck, that was the answer. It always amazes me how the solution can be staring you right in the face and you look right past it thinking the problem should be so much more complex.

Post would be the way to do it with the request.form() function, no?
