Unable to retrieve Request.QueryString

[inutelinside]

Pax et Bonum!

I have an ASP application and I have a problem regarding QueryString.
Consider the following scenario:

This the URL that links mypage1 to mypage2

http://www.myweb.com/mypage2.asp?sourceID=120

(Note: The querystring is hard-coded in the ASP)

In mypage2 I use

Dim strsourceID
strsourceID = Trim(Request.QueryString("sourceID"))

to retrieve the sourceID querystring but it returns null or nothing. It should return 120 right?

What could be the reason for this? Please help. Any idea would be appreciated.

do you actually see the querystring in the url in the second page?

only thing with this issue that's coming to mind is a possibility of a cached page for mypage2.asp, which was never originally fed a query string, and you're just seeing a saved version of the page, try a force refresh on the page just in case ( CTRL+F5 in IE)

I learned that when the Encoding is UTF-7 the error occurs. It solved some issues of some of our clients by using Windows European (ISO) but for some the error still subsists. What are other causes of this error?
