with what syntax do you reference an object on a page? in access, if i 
have a field named companyid, and for example i want to make another field 
equal to it, i could say Text3.value= Me.companyid. how do you do that in 
ASP???

Thanks,

JB

Using vbscript:

document.FormName.FormObjectName1.value = 
document.FormName.FormObjectName2.value

In javascript I believe it is:

FormName.FormObjectName1.value == 
FormName.FormObjectName2.value

But check the javscript one, it may not be correct.

Sorry,

I believe the correct syntax for javascript is:
document.FormName.FormObjectName1.value == FormName.FormObjectName2.value

And I actually think this is what you are looking for:

You need to establish your database and recordset connections.  Then in 
the value for a textbox, for example, use the following:

<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="txtBox" VALUE="<% response.write RS("CompanyID") %
>" SIZE=35 MAXLENGTH=50 >

Hope this helps.

Hi Jerry,

Where do you want to do this "referencing"? On the client-side or the
server-side?

On the client-side (ie in the browser), all you have is a stock standard
HTML page which ASP has generated. You reference HTML elements (such as form
<input> elements) using a client-side scripting language such as Javascript.
The browser's DOM (Document Object Model) exposes the various objects within
the page.

For more advice, you're best off subscribing to a client-side list, since
doing this type of thing really has nothing to do with ASP or Access.

Cheers
