I'm not sure how to call text entered in a form, and call it back from my database onto a view spreadsheet.
This is what I have, but I know I'm not even close.
From my form everythiong does go into my database.
machineissues = String("Cmachineissues")
issues = String("Cissues") Then I call it up in my table to view. All my data is shown, but not words.
<td colspan="3" rowspan="15" align="left" valign="top">
<%=machineissues%> </td>
<td colspan="6" rowspan="9" valign="top"> <%=issues%> </td>

| Well, thats the way to do it! Check out some begginer ASP sites if you need clarification, w3schools.com is good. |

Are you sure you did the <% = request.form("field_name") %> or <% response.write(request.form("field_name")) %>
The = is basically another way of doing a response.write.
If you do this: <% request.form("field_name") %> then you're not going to have any results because it's not being called upon to write to the page.
OOooh I just thought of something else ... not to sound condecending here but make sure your form points to the right URL, that your using the correct method (get/post) and that your form field has the name attribute with the correct name.
I would definately do as suggested and look at a site like http://www.w3schools.com/ASP - www.w3schools.com/ASP or http://www.aspfaqs.com - www.aspfaqs.com or the main site http://www.4guysfromrolla.com - www.4guysfromrolla.com , they also have a superb messageboard with lots of skilled ASP developers on there always offering advise and help (not dissimilar to this site). Thats how I got started with ASP, those guys helped me out a lot during my first couple of months.
