I'm trying to use Request.Form to gather information in an array and I keep
getting a type mismatch...not sure if it's even possible. Basically, Page 1
posts to Page 2...and Page 1 contains a variable declared as:
Dim mLic(50)
....which is then populated. When I try:
Request.Form("mLic()") or
Request.Form("mLic") or
Request.Form("mLic(50)")
I get a type mismatch every time. Is there a better/right way to do this?
Thanks!

How are you sending an "array" via post? Get and Post handle strings
only... you't can pass an array like this and retrieve it via the request
collection.

Fair enough...(forgive me, I'm trying to learn ASP again). Can a Session
variable handle this? What's the ideal method for "sharing" an array
between pages?

Page 1:
dim myArray(1)
myArray(0) = "a"
myArray(1) = "b"
session("myArray") = myArray
Page 2:
myArray = session("myArray")
response.write myArray(0)
However, unless this is a complex array, you are likely better off to avoid
session variable and pass a comma-delimited string around. IMHO.

Does this occur in client-side or server-side code?

Server side...I realized the error of my ways when trying to "POST" the
array. Now I'm searching for a better approach.
Well, I'm toying with the idea of just written out hidden tags/values and
using request.form that way, as opposed to the array. In order to pass a
comma delimited string, I'd have to parse/concatenate the entire array,
right? I'm trying to see the benefit I guess.

No. You can use the Join function to return a delimited string from an
array. You can then response.write the string into a hidden form element.
