Hi --

I'm trying to do something that I believe should be simple to do, yet it is giving me great difficulty.

I have a form that collects data from the user, dumps the information into an online database (salesforce.com) and then redirects to a confirmation page, informing the user their info has been received.

I would like for the user to be able to see that information on the re-direct page, as to confirm that the information has actually been deposited and they in fact are registered.

In the Form tag on the input page ACTION="thanksregistration.asp", which is the re-direct page. Input Type = "Text" and Name = "Contact_FirstName (for example)

I am trying to pass the input info onto the re-direct page. I have
declared a variable in the following manner:

<%
Dim strFirstName
strFirstName = Request.Form("Contact_FirstName")
Response.Write(" We Have you registered as :" )
Response.Write (strFirstName)
%>

As yopu can guess the variable is not being passed through, although the text, We Have you registered as: is being written.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

You say that you dump the information into a database and then redirect to a confirmation page?

I would guess that the data is being lost on the redirect - standard HTTP redirects don't preserve POST'ed data, you need to pass that info on somehow, some ways you could do this are:
cookies
querystring
asp session
do away with the redirect by combining the db dump and confirmation pages into one, either by direct #include or maybe by Server.Transfer / .Execute

If you don't want to user querystring ?
Another way is to create a form on the second page ,and at the end of the page just post that form and retrieve the value in the resulting page again.

Cheers :)
