You mean passing the "&" in a query string?

Where is it being truncated?

Some code would be appreciated.

Let say

m_licname = "John & sons"

when pass parameter

john.asp?licname=<%=m_licname%>&deptcode=<%=m_deptcode%>

when pass to john.asp... the licname request only "john" whereas & sons and rest of the parameter is truncated...
