Session Variable blank after Insert Page

[sinistapenguin]

Hi All

A wierd one this. I have a page where I want to submit a 'Quote Reference' from an insert page to a redirect page.

I have searched the internet and found out that you have to use session variables because of the way DMX does the insert.

I also found where you should put the code:

If (CStr(Request("MM_insert")) <> "") Then
Session("QuoteRef") = Request.Form("QuoteRef")

But when I get to the detail page, (where I have dragged the session variable onto the page) nothing has displayed.

If I remove the insert statement and use a straight forward POST form, the Session gets set properly and displays on the next page.

Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Thanks

Ben

request.form is for a POST method

If, as it sounds, you are using a GET method request.form will not be holding values.

Why not just set the session variable on the page that does the insert? If you are creating "QuoteRef" dynamically when a user loads the page then just set it then.
