okay, VERY basic this, but ...

A response page SENDS the information. EG - a Client side web page form - loadsa textboxes to fill out kinda thing.

The request page (server side) picks this up & does all the processing to it, EG, taking the textbox information passed to it and placing all this into a database.

1 way of passing info from response to request is to use a hyperlink :
Code:
<A Href=MySecondASPpage.asp?VariableName=hello>
Where, after the Href link, you can place a question mark and pass in parameters to the second page (these parameters are called QUERYSTRINGS).

The other is to use a form :
Code:
<form Name="frmASPpage1" method="post" Action="frmASPpage2">
You put form tags <FORM> and </FORM> just inside of the <BODY> tags. You need the method as post (as above) so this page sends information to the serverside request page, and the action property is where you say which page to send it to.
