form2) back to the original page(form1) Rob

have you just tried requesting it in the second form and then saving it to a session var. at that point you can give the first form the value of the session variable

so
form1
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;text1&quot;>
onSubmit

form2
session(&quot;text1&quot = request.querystring(&quot;text1&quot

and back at form1
<input type=&quot;text1&quot; name=&quot;text2&quot; value=&quot;<% =session(&quot;text1&quot%>&quot;>

how would that work out for you?
I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

That should do it. I'm having trouble with Session Variables. I can't get them to work right for some reason. Maybe because I'm working &quot;locally&quot; in Visual Interdev?

Will cookies with no expiration date work the same way? Rob

are you running IIS?
How are you testing your asp pages

cookies will work but that kind of defeats the idea of using the server so we don't have the chance of someone not have cookies turned on.

I'm using IIS 5.0 with Win2K Pro. I'm not sure why I can't get the session object to work. It works on the next page but not after that. It's like it looses them when the 2nd page is changed. I checked them on Window_OnLoad with a MsgBox.

I may not have IIS set up just right or something. I am also working in the Local mode so all of my file are under &quot;folder/folder_local&quot; It may not be seeing the Global.asa file. Right now I'm stuck on getting info from form to form and back. Rob
