Hi nick

Have you got the Input's inclosed within a form tag, as you need it to be able pass it through and that you submit it ? ie.

<form name="Form1" Method="GET" Action="Myasppage.asp">
<Input type="Text" name="Product1">
<Input type="Submit" value="Post Values">
</form>

i can receive the variable "product1"

but what i wanna do is put a count in

<%
i = 1 to 10
product & i = Request.Form("product" & i)
next

%>

so that it recieves products 1 to 10 and puts them in variables 1 to 10.

Is this possible?

the above is your problem, as you cannot ass concatenate to make a variable. What I would suggest you do, is store the variables into an array ie.


<%
Dim Products

ReDim Products(9)
i = 1 to 10
products(iflag -1) = Request.Form("product" & i)
next

%>

that would be cool.....

but the

Request.Form("product" & i)

doesn't seem to work. It just request "product"
