Hi Ray,
Thank you for replying to my post. I appreciate the help. How can I
capture the users input into a session variable before the user submits the
form?
When a user enters a value into a form field, can I set the session variable
to that value immediately?
Session("myvariablename") = ???
Is the Request.Form collection still available before the form is submitted?
Session("myvariablename") = Request.Form("yr")
Thanks again for the help.
