asp_web_howto thread: Request form data

I must be missing something simple. I am asking the user to select an
option from a drop down menu. I want to write that selection to a Session
Variable. I have written other session variables based on RecordSets, but
have not having any luck writing this one.
The code I am using is on page 2, but refers to page one. On page 2 -
<%Session("text") = Request.Form("text")%>
Can anyone advise me on things to look for?
Thanks, Steve

Did you check wether the the form data is really posted with Response.Write
Request.Form("text")?

Sounds silly this, but I had this problem on the other day.
Nothing logical, but I removed the drop down, and recreated
it, and it worked.
HAve you ensured that you've got the drop down in the form?
Craig.

I received a suggestion about using:
Session(var) = CStr(Request.Form("whatever")
I am half way there. The data is now being passed, but the data is two
words seperated by a space and it is only passing the first word.
I am using the selected data in a SQL statement for a recordset and need
both words. As an example, the dropdown selected and displayed is "text
file". The session variable only passes, "text".
Is there any way to correct this?

I don't have a clue. Normally the value of a dropdown or select box is
posted with spaces (although I don't really know whats going on behind the
curtains).
Could you post some code to check out, please?
Regards,
Gerhard Wentink

My guess is on Page 1 you don't have the value you are trying to pass
properly quotes encapsulated. If it's a dropdown select on page 1 try:
Response.Write("<OPTION VALUE='Two Words'>Two Words")
or
Response.Write("<OPTION VALUE=""Two Words"">Two Words")
