Hii runsrealfast!!!
suppose ur first.asp page have form like
 <input type=text name=login_name >
 <input type=text name=role>
 <input type=submit value="Submit" name=saveit>
you can access the values of "login_name" and "role" textboxes in second.asp page using
request("login_name")
and request("role")
Since you want to show this value in second.asp page text box use this code

 <input type=text name=login_name1 value='<%=request("login_name")%>' >

Hope this will help you



Cheers :)

I tried what you had suggested, but it did not work here is my code:

File textrequestform2.htm
 <form action="textconfirm.asp" method="post" name="form" id="form" >
 <input name="division" type="text" id="division" size="30">
</form>

File textconfirm.asp

<form action="textrequestsubmit.asp" method="post" name="form" id="form" >

<input type="text" name="divison" size="60" value='<%=request("divison") %>'>

</form>

It just has a blank text box on the textconfirm page

Please help

runsrealfast,

You misspelled division on textconfirm.asp .

change <%=request("divison") %> to <%=request("division") %> and it should work.
