are you trying to pass a variable or are you trying to pass specefic data? is the data coming from a form? (sorry, I couldn't really understand by the code what you were trying to do with the lin)

by variable it is:

addto.asp?var="& var1 & var2 & var3

by form it is:

addto.asp?var="&Request.Form("var1")&Request.form("var2")

is that anything close what what you are asking or am I waaay off? :)

What I did is I used the select command many time (like 8 times) so instead to write the select command 8 time I used this code. I understand what you were say about the var but how do I know the var name from the select ?

RE: Select problem - 4/1/2005 4:25:20   
Is the variable meant to form the select statement? eg : "select * from table where column="&request("variable")

RE: Select problem - 4/1/2005 10:38:30   
I think I'm following you...you have 8 select statements (or somewhere around that) and you would like to pass the values of those select statements to a next page via hyperlink...if that is the case, then you will have to define each variable within the select statement to pass...it is like this:

on a spooky diet, after all the 2nd include file (include1), you will place:

<%
var1=fp_field(fp_rs,"field1")
var2=fp_field(fp_rs,"field2")
var3=fp_field(fp_rs,"field3")
var4=fp_field(fp_rs,"field4")
%>

You will do that for each select statement for variables you would like to create; however, make sure no duplicate variable names are created (in the above, you would replace items in bold)

Then, in you hyperlink you would do:

<a href="link.asp?var="& var1 & var2 & var3 & var4

you would have to modify that to be specefic to your needs...is that what you are wishing to do?

I don't know those command you talked about but let me explain to you again, you are right about the 8 (or more) select statment, but it is in a loop (look at the code above) , my question is if I am choosing from the drop down menu (the select option....) how do I keep the chosen item? I can't do something like :
var=select
so ow do I do it?

Are you trying to pass whatever is selected in the select drop down? if that is so, then you would request the select name...

link.asp?var="&request.form(&name&)

Since the name of your select is a variable, I think that is the right syntax...am I getting any closer to what you want? :)

Are you passing the values of the array to another array or to a page to call the values in a select statement or something besides placing them into another array?

You generally have to say something=something on the link...so it would be something similar to:

addto.asp?var1="&myArray(1)&"&"&"var2="&myArray(2)&"&"&"var3="&myArray(3)

For a loop, you could do something like:

<%
for i=1 to 8
myArray(i)=var&i
link=link&"var"&i&"="&"""&myArray(i)&"&"&
next
%>

then, the link would be:

addto.asp?&link

thats not testd, but should give a general idea on how to do it

	dim arrSend(10)
Response.Write "<a href=addtobasket.asp?arrSend(1)="&arrMeal(1)& "&" & "arrSend(2)="&arrMeal(2) & ">click</a>"

can you please try to make a look from the line at the code?

I just answered the othe question you've put up related to this, but having read this I suppose you can pretty much ignore that! :)

Forgive me for asking the obvious question, but if you have 8 select menus and you want to pass them over to the next page, wouldn't it be easier to use the POST method with a Submit button and Request.Form("arrSendwhatever") on the next page??

Response.Write "<a href=addtobasket.asp?arrSend(1)="&arrMeal(1)& "&" & "arrSend(2)="&arrMeal(2) & ">click</a>"

The bolded items need to be changed. Change them to something simple like arrSend1 and arrSend2...then, on your second page, you would have to call them like <%request.querystring("arrSend1)"%>
