Can you add this:
<%
If Request.Form("S ubmit") <> "" then
' your existing stuff here
Else
Response.Write( "Submit is a zero length string")
End If
%>
and tell us what you see on the screen?
(When you say: "You tried this before, and it didn't work" - it didn't work
before because you had no <form></form> tags right?)
Cheers
Ken
