Passing Arrays

[David P. Jessup]

Good day folks.

I'm probably overlooking the obvious, but asking for feedback none the less
=)

Can you pass a multidimensional array to a self posting ASP page?

arrMDArray=Request.Form("arrAllData")
Filler code
<input type="hidden" name="arrAllData" value="<%=arrData%>">

If the above isn't possible can it be done breaking the MD Array into
separate single arrays?
<input type="hidden" name="arrAllData1" value="<%=ubound(arrData,1)%>">
<input type="hidden" name="arrAllData2" value="<%=ubound(arrData,2)%>">

If this second method is allowable, then I guess my next question would be
how would I then take the passed single dimension arrays and put them back
into a 2-d array?
I'm sure the call would be something like this:
arrData1=request.form("arrAllData1")
arrData2=request.form("arrAllData2")
Insert combining code(which I don't know)

Thanks from this ASP newbie

How about using session variables? Is that an acceptable option for you?
If not, we can come up with something.

Ray,

I'm trying to stay away from Session for the moment.

arrData1=request.form("arrAllData1")
arrData2=request.form("arrAllData2")

Well testing the above gave me this:
arrData1 was equal to the count in the array, not the data
same with arrData2 was just the count.
I imagine I'm close to answering my question.
