passing a variable between pages?

[pilg]

Hi,

I'm new to this asp stuff and some help is needed.

I have a variable 'TableName' which is selected from a list box on my first page and passed to my next page, I then use this variable to vary what is displayed in my list box on my second page. BUT i then need to pass 'TableName' along to my third page with what was selected in the second list box.
understand?
help please.........

you can create a hidden form field on your second page which would hold the value of the first listbox

something like this (for page2)

<FORM ACTION=&quot;page3.asp&quot; METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=&quot;HIDDEN&quot; VALUE=&quot;<%=Request.Form(&quot;1stListBoxValue&quot;)%>&quot;></INPUT><BR>
<SELECT NAME=&quot;your2ndListBoxName&quot;>
<OPTION etc...


...rest of form bits
</FORM>
