I get this type of question often enough that I feel like I should write a tutorial or article. The first thing I would do is write a script that reads the four fields, just to make sure they arrived at the server. If your form says [html]<form action="test.asp" method="post">[/html]
then test.asp could say:

for each x in request.form
   response.write x & ": " & request.form(x) & "<br>" & vbNewLine
next

this is the first step I take whenever I handle a form. Try this and let me know if it works.
