DateTimePicker Control Getting the Value 1

[tmishue]

Hey,

I have a form containing the DateTimePicker Control. When I click the submit button I need to access the value of the datetimepicker control and the process.asp page. I have tried the following:


On the onchange event

stdte = datetimepicker.value

and in the process.asp doing

stdate = Request.Form ("stdte&quot

I have also tried on process.asp:

stdate = Request.Form ("datetimepicker&quot

I am at a lost. I am fairly new to VB and ASP so any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

1. unfortunately, the datetimepicker control in asp, does not have a value until it is passed to the next page. This is really a hinderance when trying to check the date BEFORE it is submitted.

2. Make sure that you have an NAME tag for the datetimepicker (i.e. Name="dtpMain&quot then on the processing form:

myvar = request.form("dtpMain&quot

I have found that if you just try to set the ID, it does not pass that accross with the form, therefore, I have had to set the NAME property.

Hope this helps.

PS, you might get a quicker response, if you post the ASP questions to the ASP Forum.

Thanks soo much TazzMan! Your right I had set the ID but not the name. Once I set the name as you suggested everything worked beautifully!!!! Thanks for the fast and helpful response.
