using request.querystring inside a SELECT CASE 1

[nimarii]

hello -

i have a select case set up like so:

select case ucase(actionmode)
'first time user loads page
CASE ""
strExtensionID = Request.QueryString("NoteExtensionId")
CASE "update"
strExtensionID = Request.QueryString("NoteExtensionId")
end select

i seem to be able to successfully get a value back for strExtensionId when the case is "", but always seem to get a null value when trying to retrieve that same value in the "update" case.

what am i missing?

thanks!!!

try

case "UPDATE"

since you are using ucase() function...

-DNG

ah, sorry, meant to type "update" as "UPDATE", i have it in caps in my code. sorry!

(good catch tho on that one!)

then i think you are losing your variable actionmode's value...check whether you are having the correct value for it...then it comes to see why the select case is failing...

as it seems your actionmode is empty is all the time....

ahh - you're right DNG, it seems i was forgetting to set the actionmode to "update" at the end of my case "".

thanks!!!!
