I am using the ExternalEvent handler to pass a string into my web page.

ExternalEvent(myString)

I then used a sub funktion in vb script to catch the event om my web page.

<script language=&quot;vbscript&quot;>
sub MovieName_ExternalEvent(myString)
msgbox(myString)
end sub
</script>

So far everything works fine. I get a messagebox to pop up with myString in it. Now the problem begins. I want myString to pass into a textfield on my page.

<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;Kod&quot; value=&quot;<%= myString%>&quot;>

This is an ASP page. That shouldnt make any difference i think. It seems that i cant get the variable to pass anywhere outside the sub funktion.
I know this is not a real Lingo problem. But anyone who has used the externalevent might have solved this problem. And i am in real need of help.
