Dear ALL:
I used following code to collect user information and set a session variable for residentName.
<SELECT size=1 id=select1 name=ResidentName VALUE=&quot;<%=session(&quot;ResidentName&quot;)%>&quot;>
<% do until rsResidentName.EOF%>
<option Value= <%=rsResidentName(&quot;BaylorID&quot;)%>><%=rsResidentName(&quot;Lastname&quot;)%>, <%=rsResidentName(&quot;Firstname&quot;)%></option>
<% rsResidentName.MoveNext
loop
</SELECT> <br><br>

But I can not refer this session variable when I write a query as follow.
strQuery = &quot;SELECT DISTINCT prococedure, count(prococedure) as Procedurecount FROM FORM_ID_198163500 &quot;
strQuery = strQuery & &quot;WHERE Category = '&quot; & Details & &quot;'&quot;
strQuery = strQuery & &quot; AND baylorID = '&quot; & session(&quot;residentName&quot;) & &quot;'&quot;
strQuery = strQuery & &quot; GROUP BY Prococedure;&quot;
%>

How can I set a session variable and how to refer a session variable in a query?

Thanks

Haijun

Dear Prasad:
In my first page, user can select a username to get their procedure record by different categories. After their selection, and click &quot;submit&quot; button, second page appears with the query result. When user click the category link, another query page will show up, with detailed procedure in that category. In addition to the category, I need to write a query using username, which in on the first page. I used a session variable, but it did not work on the third page.

Could you tell me why my code does not work.

Thanks

Haijun

I don't see where you're setting a session variable at all. You'd have to set your session like so:

session(&quot;ResidentName&quot;) = &quot;something&quot;

Hope this helps.

Dear Khorjak:

I know how to use session variable right now. I have another question about my code (see below):

<SELECT size=1 id=select1 name=ResidentName VALUE=&quot;<%=session(&quot;ResidentName&quot;)%>&quot;>
<% do until rsResidentName.EOF%>
<option Value= <%=rsResidentName(&quot;BaylorID&quot;)%>><%=rsResidentName(&quot;Lastname&quot;)%>, <%=rsResidentName(&quot;Firstname&quot;)%></option>
<% rsResidentName.MoveNext
loop
</SELECT> <br><br>

I know how to set session variable for baylorID using:
session(&quot;baylorID&quot;) = request(&quot;residentname&quot;)
How can I pass resident first name and last name to next page?

you can put the value into a hidden form field and then use a querystring to obtain it in the next page
<input type=hidden name=var1 value=&quot;<% something%>&quot;>

call it
request.querystring(&quot;var1&quot;) You cannot mandate productivity, you must provide the tools to let people become their best.

Dear onput:
It is a good idea to use hidden field to carry the values over. Obviously the value of hidden field is based upon user's selection. Where do I need to put the hidden field? How to set up the value? You know the value for my combo box is different from the value in the box. The selection is name, the value for the selection is baylorID.


Thanks

I think this is what you're looking for:

<html>
<head>
<script language=JavaScript>
function setVal(x){
document.frmTest.sName.value=x;
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name=frmTest>
<input type=hidden name=sName value=&quot;&quot;>
<select name=nID onchange=&quot;setVal(this.options[this.selectedIndex].text)&quot;>
<option value=1028>Doe, John</option>
<option value=2028>Doe, Jane</option>
<option value=3028>Smith, Bob</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

To retrieve the name on the next page:
strName = Request.Form(&quot;sName&quot;)

One addition, if you are going to pick this up as the querystring on the next page then you will need to mark this form as GET:
Code: 
<form name=frmTest action=GET>
