why is this code not working

[bells]

<%

dim i
dim x
dim y
dim z

x = Request.Form("mTrainee")
y= Request.Form("fTrainee")
z= cInt(x)+cInt


For i = 1 to z

%>

<TR>

<TD>


<INPUT NAME=("lname"<% & i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("organ"<% & i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("profess"<% & i %>") SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("pNum"<% & i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD>



</TR>

<%

Next

%>

its purpose is to generate text boxes with names like
lname1, organ1...
lname2,organ2....
depending on what z is
it keeps telling me &i is the error. last time i used something like this to enter the value in the database that worked but this is not working any help is appreciated

& is to concatenated something. you should use <%= here:



<INPUT NAME=("lname"<%= i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("organ"<%= i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("profess"<%= i %>") SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("pNum"<%= i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD>

Well now i do not have any error
but for some reason it does not save the value of these
text boxes into the database.
is there anyway i for sure know how the name are created

because i can see the primary key is generated in access but
the value of these tables are not showing..

I tried
Response.Write Request.Form("lname1")
Response.Write Request.Form("lname2")

nothing is writing any reason???
it would actually be great that i know for sure
the names of the textboxes are as i wanted like lname1,lname2....

Use this to see what you receive from the page:

for each variable_name in request.form
 response.write variable_name & " = " &_
                variable_value & "<br>"
next
response.end

this works better:

for each variable_name in request.form
 response.write variable_name & " = " &_
       request.form(variable_name) & "<br>"
next
response.end

Well using the following code as suggested
x = Request.Form("mTrainee")
y= Request.Form("fTrainee")
z= cInt(x)+cInt


For i = 1 to z

%>

<TR> <TD>

<INPUT NAME= ("lname"<% = i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("org"<%= i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("prof"<%= i %> ) SIZE="20"></TD><TD><INPUT NAME=("pNum"<%= i %> ) SIZE="20">
</TD>
</TR>

<%
Next
%>

Gives me
("lname"1
("lname"2
("lname"3 as the name of the text boxes what i want actually is lname1, lname2...without the quote an brackate
thank u again

hey. Actually, I think it should be

<INPUT NAME="lname<%=i%>" SIZE="20">

Also, I tend to like to just Response.Write the whole thing:
(I am assuming you are doing it in a loop)

<%Dim p
	p=10
	For i=0 to p
	Response.Write "<input name='blah" & i & "' size='20'>"
	Next%>

This way seems to be cleaner looking than having to break up all the asp tags.
