Many thanks for any help in advance.

If you really want to do validation server side then use an If...End If block in your sendorder.asp which test for the length of your PostalAddress and Email variables, and change the Response.Redirect to the input form adding a suitable error message.

It is worth considering also using client side validation using Javascript (forum216) to catch most errors before the first form is posted. A search on that forum for 'validation' will surely give you a start with that.
