Simple I think

I have a form that after being filled out has its contents written to a
database and then goes to confirmation .asp page. I want the confirmation
page to be personalized but I am not sure how to pass the "name" parameter
to the confirmation.as p page. I know I am going to kick myself whrn I see
this.

Thanks, Houston

Well, you can pass any parameter to an asp page:
http://www.yourwebsite.com/webpage.a...ter_name=value
And in asp page itself you read it as
Request["parameter_name "]

Is that you were looking for?

Yes that is what I am looking for but the value is not static and is a
variable taken from the form so I am a bit confused on 2 things:
1. The syntax on the Parameter
2. If I use the URL to pass I am not clicking on the URL, I am clicking on
the "Submit" button from the form.

Make sence?

Do you need to call a confirmation asp page with those parameters?
I'm not sure we are on the same page...
And what is your conusion about parameters syntax?
http://<server>/yourpage.asp?pa rameter1=value1 &parameter2=val ue2&...etc.

Anyway, there should be a function in VB like ShellExecute or something,
which calls Windows programms from VB, so you can just pass your URL to
that function and it should automatically open your default browser with
this URL.

Ok let me take it from the top. I dont know why I am having such a hard time
with this but I can not get anything to work. I am new at this but I thought
I already had this part understood. Ok so here goes.

I have an asp page that contains a form. The form gathers only two items,
Name and EmailAddress.
Once they hit SUBMIT a server behavior writes this info to the database and
jumps to a confirmation page. All I want to do is personalize the
confirmation page by putting in their Name. So instead of saying:
"Thanks for signing up for our Newsletter"

I can put:
"Thank you John Doe for signing up for our newsletter."

Now what do you think?

Hi Houston
I would write a simple redirection function at the very top of the
form.asp (my form name - don't know yours) page thus-->

<script Language="VbScr ipt">
<!--
myName = "<%=request("In putName")%>"
function goConfirm()
document.locati on.href="confir mation.asp?name =" & MyName & ""
end function
-->
</script>

<!--We will call this later after saving the data using the onLoad event
of the body tag-->

<!-- I'm creating another variable here which I will use later to see if
the form has been posted or not.-->

<%
task = request("task")
%>

<!-- now for the form-->
<html>
<head><title> </title></head>
<body>
<!-- The task variable and its value are passed here-->
<form name="form1" method="post" action="form.as p?task=doit">
<table>
<tr><td>Name: </td><td><input type="text" name="InputName "
width=25></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"><ce nter><input type="submit"
value="go"></center></td></tr>
</form>
</table>
</body>
</html>
<!-- Now check if the form was posted using the task variable-->
<%
IF task ="doit" THEN
''''' POPULATE VARIABLES FROM YOUR FORM FIELDS
myName = request("InputN ame") ''''' etc, etc
''''' OPEN YOUR DATA CONNECTION
''''' DO YOUR DATA SAVE WITH USUAL SQL QUERIES
''''' CLOSE YOUR DATA CONNECTION
''''' THEN CALL THE REDIRECT FUNCTION THAT WE WROTE THUS...
%>
<body onLoad="goConfi rm()">
<%
END IF
%>

<!-- You will be able to capture the name value using the simple line
myName = request("name") just as you did before
Hope this helps -->

Ok, i'm a bit confised about what exactly you can't do...
Can you tell me what is the last step you are able to perform?
DO you know how you add a record to the database in asp page?
I really want to help but i don't know where to start? from the beginning?
