That would be checking the request coming in from the browser to make
sure the data doesn't contain any "malicious looking" data. This can
help prevent people from uploading javascript to the server for cross
site scripting attacks, for instance.
As to why that setting might have been affecting the behavior of your
program - I'm not sure. If the request validation sees something
suspicious it should give an obvious error message.

Scott,
I dont know if this makes any sense, but at the top of my aspx file I had
the line:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="InvMaint.aspx.vb"
Inherits="DTA.InvMaint" validateRequest=false%>
the section: validateRequest=false was added there by me but I cant
remember why, and since I remove it, it looks like the problem went awayany
ideas ?
Thanks
