Hi all!
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am very new to ASP. I am trying to use a select case to set a variable but it doesn't seem to work:

Select case strSearchCat
    case "option1"
    strSearchVia = "Member ID='"
    case "option2"
    strSearchVia = "Forename='"
End Select

Is it not possible to to set a variable in this way?? In the book (beginning Active Server Pages 3.0) all examples are given using the response.write command, e.g.

Select case strSearchCat
    case "option1"
    Response.Write "you have chosen option 1"
    Case "Option2"
    Response.Write "you have chosen option 2"
End Select

Any help very, very much appreciated!!
THANKYOU!
ADAM

Hey,

Yes that will work, but I'm thinking your problem may not be that specifically. What exactly is your problem, and could you then post more code for that?

Brian

Response.Write "you have chosen option 1" is to output on your page.

strSearchVia = "Member ID='" whereas here you are assiging value to a variable. So both are right, only difference is that RESPONSE.WRITE writes the output to your page on browser, other stores it in a variable.

Cheers!
