VBScript - assigning a checkbox value to a variable

[neillovell]

Hi all,
I have a checkbox whose value is that of a number in a database (a simple integer).
The problem is I want to assign this value to a variable for comparison. So I can say if the checkbox is checked, update the record where the unique id matches the value of the checkbox (I have lots of checkboxes each with a number).
But if I do anything other than Dim RecordID (say 'As Integer' or variant or string) the page will not load. Any ideas?

<input type=&quot;Checkbox&quot; name=&quot;EditPostItCheckboxField<%=Counter%>&quot; value='<%= RecSet(&quot;UniqueID&quot %>' id=&quot;EditPostIt<%=Counter%>&quot;>

Dim RecordID
RecordID = request.form(&quot;EditPostItCheckboxField1&quot

When using ASP you cannot define the type i.e. as integer or string so you are correct in just writing

Dim RecordID

To check it's value try using:

if request.form("EditPostItCheckboxField1")="on" then RecordID = "checked"

and set RecordID to whatever value you want. Also this question would be more suited to the ASP forum (forum333)
