There is obviously something basic I don't understand. I need to pass a variable containing a comma delimited string to another asp page for further processing and output. Here's some simplified code that doesn't work. What have I gotten confused about? Nothing is being passed to the browser address line. If I use ISBNlist (without the <%= %> it simply passes the literal string "ISBNlist". I need to pass the contents of the variable.

Dim ISBNlist
ISBNlist="1400031354,1234567890"
ISBNlist = Server.URLEncode(ISBNlist)
