Passing variables through links http://somepage.asp?[var]=something

[sgore]

I am new to ASP and I am not sure how to pass variable
to another asp file and then use that info to populate
the other asp file.

I have 2 files I am working with:
players.asp
player.asp (template for all players)

I query a database for all players
Number Name
1 joe blow
2 other guy

I would like to have the names linked to the player.asp
file and pass that players Number to the generic player.asp
and query the database for all of that players info.

Something like this:
Number Name
1 <a href='player.asp?[player_number]> joe blow </a>
2 <a href='player.asp?[player_number]> other guy </a>

I am not sure how to pass variables through links and then
be able to use that variable to do another query to populate
the generic (player.asp) file?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Here is a real quick example:
In players.asp:

<a href='player.asp?playerid=1> joe blow </a>
<a href='player.asp?playerid=2> other guy </a>

In player.asp:

<%
Dim playerid = Request(&quot;playerid&quot;)
' Get your request player from database and display
%>

Hope this helps. Write back if you need a more detailed example. Wushutwist
