I have 2 asp pages.

The first asks the user for input from a list box. This is part of a form that uses post to accept the data.
This page also has output that is generated based upon what is selected.

The second page does all of the work. It's supposed to collect the input from the first page and manipulate it and create several other variables based upon that initial input.


My problem is getting the second page to access the user input from the first. I honestly am new to asp and have a good idea what to do but not how to do it.

on the second page you need to use request.form("listboxname") and get the value that way. what code do you have so far?

Thanks for your help. I knew I was missing something. I had the wrong entry for the Request.Form command. Now it's all straightened out and working. The real test will be if I can make this work on the real page not my dummy test page.
