after the form has been posted I want to keep the querystring the same and not have it reset, i have this:

<form method=post name=main action="index.asp?MEMBER_ID=" <% Request.Querystring("MEMBER_ID") %>

but all i get in the address bar after "post" is this: index.asp?MEMBER_ID=


without the member Id. how can i do that?

You're missing the "=" from your Response.Write shortcut; <% should be <%=

HTH,
