Hi all,
i'm still working on my 'search' page but have made some progress !
What I need to do now is pass a session variable to the next page. I have a text box on a form and a session variable called ptype. I have bind the session to the empty text box for the user to type in. The form has a submit button and the code to open the next page is as follows...

srchresults.asp?ID=<%= Session("ptype") %>

The next page should list the results filtered from the session variable but when the results page opens the URL at the top of the page looks like this...

http://localhost/mysite/Intranet/srchresults.asp?ID=

The text the user input in the textfield is not there.
when i open the recordset property for the results page and test it by manually typing in text it pulls up results !!
Can anyone advise me on where I am going wrong please ?

Why are you using a session variable to pass the form information? Common practice for something like this would be to use the GET form action.

Then you can filter your recordset based on Request.QueryString("ptype")

Or in dreamweaver, create a recordset and the where clause would say:

Where your_column_name = srch

Then set the variables as
Name: srch default vaule: 0 Run-time value: Request.QueryString("ptype")
