Passing the variable \

[Norman55]

there are numerous ways to do it.

you can search the forums (and google) before posting questions when there is a very similar question two posts below this one.

you can assign your variable to a hidden form element on the first page and use request.form() on the second page

you can append it to the querystring in the first page and retrieve it using the request.querystring() on the second page.

Kind of like this:

1. What's the variable
2. How are you passing it?
3. What do you want to do with it?
4. I can't drive to my destination, can you help?

TIP: trying googling the answer before posting, you'll find that more times than not someone else somewhere has had the same request and posted an answer online.

I'm very new to ASP myself and I've found some things elegantly simple. I'm using a session variable to pass info from one page to another. I started using a cache variable, but came across situations where the cache would cross the 'boundaries' of multiple users. (one user's cached information would show in another user's session)

Basically, on my calling page:
Session["USEREMAIL"] = this.txtEmail.Text.Trim().ToUpper();

And if I want to compare or use that on subsequent pages, i just compare the Session["USEREMAIL"].ToString():

I know there's some added overhead with session variables, but like I said, I'm new to all this. I'd like to get the application working first, and then work on improving performance.

I hope this helps.

DanEvansJr,

That looks like ASP.NET, this forum is mainly for classic ASP (vbScript)

Ooops. Sorry. I was searching for help on something else and came across this thread.

I was actually excited that I was able to help for a change instead of being the helpee
