Anyways, when I create a link to send the P&B to a new address, the querystring gets all messed up cause it stops at the &. What is the %number used to replace the &? Like, %23 is a # sign I think, and %20 is a blank space I think (those might be reversed)

I want to pass it to a link and then use request.querystring to get the value. Currently, it goes like this: www.somesite.com?Vendor=P&B When I do a request.querystring("Vendor"), then it comes up as P instead of P&B. I need to replace the & with something. I don't think what you gave me is right as I know the # has a replacement for sure, and each replacement given uses teh # key. (in reply to rdouglass)

What I do with a problem character like that is I usually find some text string that wouldn't show up otherwise. I frequently use something like "QQQQ" or "ZZZZ" and just do replace on it going 'in' to the querystring as well as coming 'out' <a href="myPage.asp?myValue=<%=replace(myValue,"&","QQQQ")%>">Click<a> and myValue = replace(Request.querystring("myValue"),"QQQQ","&") Works for me in many situations since I can't stand dealing with all that ULEncode crap. _____________________________ Don't take you're eye off your final destination.
